is a rather
nice term for my lady garden.”
“Jesus woman, STOP!”
She giggled, the delicious sound curling through my body
and soothing my frazzled emotions. Her face lit with her amusement but suddenly
it dropped and she gulped as a muffled sob clawed itself from her. “I thought I
was gonna die.”
A single tear tracked her face as we gazed at each other.
“I’d never allow that, Ava. I need you too much; I’d never survive without
you.”
She nodded frantically and leaned into me, resting her
forehead against mine. “I was angry at you. That’s what got me through, your
refusal to help me.”
I reared back and gawked at her, “What? I would never
refuse to help you.”
She shook her head slightly, waving off my declaration.
“No, I don’t mean your actual refusal.” She sighed and ran the tip of her nose
along the length of mine, “I was slightly delirious as Shithouse was trying to
climb inside me and I asked you for help but you stood there and said no.” She
smiled softly as her eyes finally glimmered brightly, “I was so angry at you,
leaving me there with the fat fucker on top of me, but the anger you caused
brought me round and I broke his neck with your face bobbing about at the front
of my mind.”
I stared at her mutely as my vocal chords refused to work
yet managed to kick out a tight wheeze. She smiled, and then grinned, then her
head tipped back and she laughed loudly. Tears streamed down her face as she
cackled and guffawed. Her exhilaration was contagious and I was soon laughing
with her, both of us struggling to breathe at the intensity of it, “Fuck baby,
am I gonna be safe sleeping next to you tonight?”
She hiccupped and placed her hand on her ribs as she
groaned with the pain, “I didn’t actually mean it to sound like that. I meant
it was you that got me through again.” She kissed me lightly on the lips, the
softness that once used to drive me wild was now replaced with a dryness that
scraped harshly but it didn’t stop the magnitude of love that surged through
me. There was only my woman that could laugh after such an ordeal. “God I love
you.”
She stilled and swallowed harshly then lifted her hand
and slid her palm over my cheek as her face softened and her heart bumped
against my chest with her closeness. “And me, you.”
Chapter 13
Ava
The sun streaked through the blinds as I continued to
stare blindly at the window. I was cold and nauseous but the strength of Mason’s
hold on me offered me comfort, his firm strong chest pressing securely against
my back.
I knew today was going to be a hard one; the first obstacle
would be facing George. Mason had told me about Etta’s involvement and I
couldn’t love him any harder for how he had abstained from telling her the
awful things her parents were involved in. I would rather have died than broken
a child that way.
“Hey,” Mason whispered in my ear as he stroked his thumb
sightlessly across my jaw. “How you feeling?”
Tilting my head I kissed his thumb and dragged it into my
mouth, flicking my tongue over the tip as I wrapped my lips around the knuckle
and sucked it gently, “Horny.”
He had refused me any loving last night; his concerns
over my injuries were far more substantial than his hard on apparently.
“Mmmm” he moaned as his lips enveloped the lobe of my
ear, “me too.”
“Good, I thought you’d gone soft on me,” I chuckled as I
shuffled round and faced him, sliding my arms around his neck and pulling him
close so I could press my lips against his. He moaned again when I slid my
tongue across his lower lip then tugged gently on it with my teeth. “Let me in”
I demanded when he clamped his lips together teasingly.
His hands followed the path of my spine until he reached
my bum and cupped it firmly, “Err, who’s in charge here?”
“You are, baby.” I breathed as I nudged him again with my
tongue, “Most of the time anyway.”
His eyes twinkled with amusement as he
