Chapter 56: Chapter 56

JACE ‘JR’ ASHER/ TRIGGER

LEGS APART, her pink lips so close to my face I could smell her, I buried myself in her like a crazy man.

Lucia Amato’s pussy might have been my kryptonite. Four or five doses later and I was still as entranced as the first time we had sex. The best fucking sex I had ever had in all my twenty something years.

“J—Jace, they’ll…they’ll hear us”, she complained.

Her lips might have been trying to resist me but her pussy, God it throbbed, it called to me and like a fucking sailor I heeded to the call of my siren because she was my goddamn siren that I’d never let go of no matter what fucking happened.

Giving that intimate place of hers that belonged to my lips, I hoisted myself up crawling between her legs and up, up where I could see her beautiful face.

My beautiful fucking Italian princess.

God, I loved her.

“You scared someone will pop in and see me in you?” I asked cockily, she rolled her eyes before her hand landed on my cheek.

“Jace, Misha and Jason might suspect there’s something going on between us. The last thing I want is to be a terrible house guest”

I pushed a strand of her dark hair away from her face.

A month with her and it was still hard to believe that a fucker like I nailed a princessa like her.

Lucky fucking me.

“You are not our house guest, Lucia. They know that”

They adored her and Misha and Jason knew right from the start I liked this woman more than I cared to admit.

They might have suspected we boned a few weeks ago judging from the new box of fucking condoms by my nightstand that Misha bought.

“Yeah? Then what am I? Your client? It’s been a month, Jace and no one has come for me. No one has showed up with a rifle on your doorstep trying to kill me or trying to take me”

I rested my hands on both sides of her head, trying to hide my glare and failing at it.

“What are you trying to say Lucia?”

“I’m safe, I can go back to my world and you can go back to yours”

Fucking liar.

I could see it in her eyes whatever bullshit she was feeding me, she didn’t quite believe it herself.

“You stopped being my client, the moment I sank in you and learnt how good it felt to make love. YOU are not my client, you fucking know that. You wake up in my bed every goddamn morning and sleep in it at night. Only my woman has that privilege and you are her”

“How many women have slept in your bed?”

The truth would hurt her but I wasn’t keeping shit from her.

I hadn’t kept shit from her for the past month.

“One”

Her face fell.

“OOH”

“It was Cassie and I didn’t touch her if that’s what you are thinking about”

HER eyes tried to avoid mine and I couldn’t help touching her chin and forcing her to look at me.

“Talk to me, princess. What’s really going on?”

Her dark eyes were on mine and in a few seconds, they watered with tears catching me off guard.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t…I don’t know how…Jace—”

“Hey deep breaths, Luce. Look at me and take a deep breath. In. Hold it. Out”

She did as I commanded and then her eyes were on me and the silence killed me.

“What’s going on, princess?”

Her throat bobbed; my heart palpitated with stress.

“I love you, Jace”

All the air barreled out of my lungs.

“I don’t know what we are, I don’t know if you feel the same way just know…I never wanted this to happen at least not intentionally…Jace Asher, I think I’m pregnant”

She might as well have gone for my jugular because the fucking world stopped and for a minute, I might have died with shock.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“You? A father? I mean I knew it was bound to happen some point but I thought you’d impregnate some woman from a brothel or something not a woman you fucking love”, Simon clipped.

I chugged my bottle of beer, my eyes on Lucia who’d been surrounded by my mother and my aunt, Nancy ASHER.

“Ey, love happens to everyone”, Uncle Gunner joined in on the conversation, “though I’m still trying to understand how an ugly motherfucker like you snagged a fine gem like her. if we are lucky, hopefully the kid takes her looks from her mother and not you”

The three men beside me all downing a bottle of beer chuckled.

I was too mellow to give in to their sarcastic remarks that got worse every time they visited.

They could laugh their asses off all they wanted but I was the luckiest man to walk the face of the earth.

I was going to be a father.

Lucia Amato was carrying my son, my daughter in there. Christ, three days with the news and every time I saw her, I loved her even more.

I loved them even more.

Jason was about to add a taunting remark that would make the men beside me laugh their asses off too when his phone’s ringtone rung around us like a church bell.

He didn’t move from where he was when he picked the call.

The smile on his face told me who it was and for some reason guilt and nervousness ate me up.

Everyone knew LUCIA AND I were going to be parents except Cassie and maybe part of the reason why she didn’t know was because I was fucking scared of how she’d react.

“WHAT?”

Jason’s outburst made everyone still.

Then he did that thing when he was mad. He stood up, he paced across the floorboards, jaw ticking, hand stressfully rubbing his temples.

“This is not funny Cassandra”

He never called her Cassandra if it wasn’t something serious. None of us did.

“I won’t make any promises. I’ll be the judge of that, no daughter of mine is getting married without my approval”

He hung up. My eyes were on him prodding for answers.

Jason exhaled with a sigh.

“Cassandra’s engaged to some dipshit who didn’t ask for her hand first. They are flying in tomorrow”

Engaged?

CONNOR/ KADE HAWKINS

A MONTH EARLIER

I DESERVED A FUCKING AWARD for keeping my hands and my dick in my pants.

Adam whatshisname would have been a goner had it not been for Cassie begging for his puny useless life.

And when she’d begged me, fury licked my insides the only thing I wanted to do was sink inside her till I felt better for watching another man touch and kiss what was mine.

She wanted Good Kade and I was fucking trying to be good even when she walked around in my apartment with nothing but panties and my shirt and had the audacity to bend over every time I cast a glance her way.

A walk in the park, two milkshakes and a wholesome burger and fries date later and Cassie was out cold in our room sleeping.

She’d slept in my shirt again and worse…in cotton panties, my weakness.

I retired to the bathroom, washing the massive boner with cold water before I disappeared to my office for a little infil on how everything was going with Ice and the guys.

“Apart from the guys missing Cass, nothing’s new, business is as usual, no hits, no threats”

I ground my molars in my mouth.

The guys liked Cass hell Ice liked Cass.

They might not have liked her in the sense that I did but the last thing I wanted was other potential males breathing down her neck and making her giggle about some dumb shit.

“What’s going on with you? You are awfully quiet than usual”, Ice prodded.

I sighed again.

What was there to say?

I was pussy whipped with Cassie when I hadn’t tasted her pussy in the first place?

Or maybe it was the gnawing fact that I had asked her to marry me and I would have to meet her parents one way or another?

This was why past my norm.

Marriage was never in the cards for me because the thought of having someone chained to me, someone I would hurt, someone who’d be my weakness ate me up.

With Lucia Amato it was different. I wasn’t going to marry her that was always in the back of my mind.

But with Cassandra Bates? I wanted to cuff her, I wanted my ring banded around one of her little fingers, I wanted my seed in her, I wanted everything a man could have with her and that scared me.

It scared me because she was going to be with a monster like me who could hurt her.

What if I…No. I’d never hurt Cassie. I’d never kill her. yet that voice at the back of my head reminded me that I killed my fucking parents and there was no escaping that.

“I asked her to be my wife. We are meeting her parents next week”

I spoke. Silence rung at the end of the line I hated it.

It took a few seconds before Ice fucking chuckled,

” It’s about damn time”

What?

“You are not- “

“Shocked? Naah. You brought her to the mansion, Kade. To stay. You’ve never done that with any woman that wasn’t a servant and that right there was the green flag you fucking wanted her”

“Her life was in danger”

He laughed again and I knew deep down he was right.

I fell for the fucking redhead the minute she slapped me in that damn elevator.

“You could have tasked one of the guys to get her new papers, to protect her but you always wanted her for yourself, didn’t you? Man the fuck up and at least admit that. Admit the fact that you are scared you’ll hurt her too”

“I’m not from her world, Icarus. You know that. anyone targeting me will try to target her too because she’s my wife and I can’t lose her to this life like I lost my parents”

“But she chose you despite everything. Trust that”

I scoffed.

“When did you get fucking wise?”

“I always am, man. I always am”

And he cut the call.

I reclined in my seat taking a drawn-out sip of my scotch and letting the burn draw deep in my throat. The glass was nearly empty when my office door creaked open and a sleepy Cassie stood in the doorway.

“Kade? Something wrong?”

The lilt in her voice had my dick stirring in my pants. She stalked the room moving around my desk and occupying my lap like it was her goddamn throne. Except it was. She could sit on my lap for an eternity and I would have no objections.

“I heard you talking to someone. Was it Ice?”

“Mmmmhm”

I nodded, pushing her hair from her neck and burying my face in it.

She smelled so good, so pure, so clean for me. Her skin was soft like it always was it felt like crime touching it with my tainted hands.

Her back sank into my chest, her hands guiding me around her shirt covered waist.

“Everything’s okay?”

She asked again. I took a whiff of her scent every nerve in me flailing with fire.

“Mmmhmm”, I nodded, placing a tender kiss on her neck.

She shivered and before I could do more than pepper soft kisses on her neck all night, Cassandra distanced herself from me.

Standing in front of me with hands crossed and a cloud of anger simmering, she glared at me and I huffed missing her warmth.

“Come here, Red”

I barked; she stubbornly stood a few feet from me.

“When are you leaving? Because I know you are. Every time Ice calls, you leave and disappear for days”

That happened one time, damn it.

“I’m not leaving”, I said noticing the small smile that played on her lips, “NOW COME HERE, Cassie”

“No”

No?

“Why fucking not?”

I sounded like a brat but the woman in front of me brought out parts of me I didn’t know I had. I’d grovel for her. I’d kill for her. I’d lay down my life for her.

“Because you are acting weird Kade. Since the kiss a few hours ago, you’ve barely touched me, at the park, at Macdonald’s and now I wake up and find the space next to me empty? If you are not leaving then what’s wrong? Why are you in your office at midnight?”

Because of you, I wanted to say.

You are driving me crazy, Cassandra.

“Do you want to be touched Cassandra?”

I stood up, sounding like how my dick felt…throbbing with need.

“I—I—I that was not my question and you know it!”

“But it’s the answer to your question, Red. I’m in my office because your cotton panties are driving me crazy. You said you are not ready, this is me being patient because I don’t trust myself enough not to go further when you grind your ass on me or kiss me like you want me in you—”

“Does it hurt?” she asked.

Yes. A whole lot.

“No”

I’d wait an eternity for her.

“Ooh”

“Yes ooh, now come here”

She had a stubborn streak in her and fuck, I loved that about her but if she stubbornly refused to run into my arms, I’d spank her ass till we all felt better.

She practically jumped into my arms, colliding our lips together and the minute I had those soft plush lips of hers, everything felt right in the world and I was just Connor.

Not a bloody killer.

Not a damn traitor.

But a man who deserved his own shot of happiness.

“Kade?”

“Mmmhm?”

“For me, it hurts. Every time you touch me, a nerve of tingles spark my pussy and it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I think I come every time we kiss, is that a bad thing? And today when you didn’t touch me after kissing me like there was no tomorrow, my yoni and I felt angry”

“Christ, Cassie”, I cussed.

Her blunt honesty was killing me here.

“Too much honesty?” she smirked, my hand travelled up her ass, lifting my shirt and feeling the fabric of her panties on my palm.

“Way too much”, I smiled, “But I fucking like it”

“Yeah? How about I tell you one more truth then you decide whether you like it or not”

“Red—”

“I want you to fuck me Kade. Show me how it feels to be owned by you”

“I like it”

I quipped before pressing my lips with hers in a long lingering kiss.

She whimpered, she moaned.

My tongue was in her punishing with her every form of torture I’d endured not being able to bend her over something and fuck the living daylights out of her.

I carried her, pressing her small body against the wall and taking off her shirt.

Heady with desire, mewling like a feral tiger let loose, my fiery wildcat had my shirt away from my body the minute her nails dug into my shoulders.

Then like a fucking explorer who’d been waiting all her life to uncover the secrets of Davey Jones locker, her little fingers trailed over my abs, over my torso, over every single scar she could find.

I never let any woman touch me like that but she—her fucking hands were ice against my burning skin and every time she touched me, I fucking groaned.

My lips trailed down every supple skin of hers I could find.

Her boobs fit into my large hands and there was no stopping the monster in me that turned visceral at the sight of pink flowery nipples staring back at me.

I latched for one nipple, the hunger and need for her like a ticking bomb about to detonate.

I needed to be inside of her.

I needed to know how she felt and if her pussy was just as tasty as every inch of her skin I had tasted so far.

Her legs circled my waist pulling me towards her till my throbbing dick ground against her panty covered pussy.

Hungry wanting to quench the thirst in me that threatened to tear me in half, my left hand shimmied its way down her panties ripping the thing from her body and going after what I needed.

“Is she still angry?” I asked, Cassie lolled her head back into the wall with a strained ‘yes’.

“This is your cunt Red and it needs to stay happy. It needs to be fucking licked, kissed, worshipped and filled to the brim. Doesn’t it?”

“Y-YES”

“Doesn’t it ache? Doesn’t it need something inside to make it feel better?”

“Mhhmm”

“I need words, Red. What does your pussy need?”

I ran a finger across her slit feeling and fucking loving just how wet she was.

“Y-you”, she whispered.

I kissed her neck, running the bridge of my nose against her neck.

“Say it louder, RED. I want the whole world to hear who this pussy belongs to, to hear who makes you come”

“Kade”, she warned.

I laughed.

“Say it loud, baby”

She opened her mouth, I pushed one finger inside of her cutting her off with a strangled moan.

She was so fucking wet and tight, I almost felt sorry for adding another finger in her. though who am I fucking kidding, listening to her moans fueled the drive in me to tear her apart with orgasm after orgasm.

Every thrust, every pump inside her led to her pussy walls clenching around my fingers, her juices soaking me and her nails digging into my shoulder like the biblical nails on the cross.

“You hear that?”

I pushed again, her pussy slurped and she fucking blushed.

“I think your pussy likes me. she wants me in forever, Red”, I taunted curling my fingers and rubbing that spot in her that had her hips buckling, her back arching into the wall and her nipples digging into my chest, it was a rare fucking sight.

“Oh God”, she screamed, my hand was on her neck forcing her to look at me.

“Not God, Kade and when I’m inside you, so deep you’ll feel me in your tummy, I want my name on your lips Cassie. My name, you got that?”

She nodded. The action went straight to my dick, one more minute and I’d poke a hole through my pants.

I didn’t give her time to breathe, didn’t give her legs the chance to step on the ground as I tugged my pants and my boxer briefs down my legs.

My dick sprung free, Cassie’s eyes went berserk as she gazed at me with confused eyes.

“I-I don’t think you’ll fit Kade, you are too big, it’s too- “

“I’ll fit. You need to trust me; can you do that?”

Fear etched her face but I hadn’t come this far to stop. Though if she begged me not to go on, I would stop. No matter how disappointed I’d be, I’d stop for her.

Her eyes met mine and with a wobbly smile, she said,

“I trust you with my life, Kade”

I pushed forward, my heat colliding with hers, both of us drowning with heady anticipation of what was to happen in the next few seconds.

“You are wet and ready for me, Red. It’ll pinch a little but—”

“I trust you”, she repeated.

I pushed forward.

She’d taken just the tip and her head slouched against the wall while she shook.

“You are gonna have to let me go so I can push in, Red”

Her eyes were on me before they fell where we were joined and fuck that was the hottest thing ever.

“Keep watching. I want you to see how perfectly we fit. How well you take me inside you”

One inch and she swallowed me whole, I had to take a breath to prevent me from spilling inside her within seconds.

Another inch and her eyes watered with desire.

Christ this was the hardest thing I’d ever done in my life and possibly the greatest.

And when Cassandra Bates took me inside of her all the way to the hilt, I, Kade fucking Hawkins was a dead man because he’d found his kryptonite.

Her parents could wait another month, I couldn’t give a fuck because I was going to enjoy my fiancé for a fucking month non-stop.
