Blackmail (12 page)

While Matt checked on Vince, Ryan helped Avery to her feet. He removed his shirt, slipped the trembling girl's arms into it and fastened the buttons.

“W…w…where's Gabe?”

When Ryan didn't answer, she knew something bad had happened. Avery's blood was like iced water in her veins and her knees gave way. The officer scooped her into his arms before she could hit the ground. “He's hurt but I think he'll be okay. There's an ambulance on the way.”

Avery struggled in Ryan's arms. “Put me down. Where is he?”

Ryan lowered her to the ground and pointed to the car.

She was off in the direction he had indicated as fast as her legs would carry her. She found the man she loved on the ground. He wasn’t moving. She fell to her knees. Collapsing across his chest, she cried uncontrollably. Her hands threaded through his thick beautiful hair and she felt sticky warmth. She sat up and used the dim light to study her hands. Blood! Gabe was going to bleed to death! Her scream could have woken the dead and Ryan dashed to her side.

“He's bleeding. He's dying. Do something.” She was hysterical and Ryan had no idea how to calm her down but, he had to try. He took hold of her arms and forced her to look at him in the dim light. “Avery. Gabe is hurt but the ambulance will be here any minute. They will be able to take care of him and get him to the hospital.”

She sobbed into his bare chest. “Please don't let him die. This is all my fault.” She couldn't bear the thought of Ruby and Grant losing another child, their
only
child, so soon after his sister's death.

The sound of sirens pierced the night. Avery glanced up and was relieved to see numerous emergency vehicles speeding their way.

Avery hovered close by while the ambulance men stabilized Gabe. Someone handed her a handkerchief and she patted her eyes before blowing her nose. She shook uncontrollably but whether it was sheer terror and worry about Gabe or the cold, she neither knew nor cared.

“Miss.” A Paramedic touched her arm gently.

She gazed up through tear filled eyes. “Yes.”

“We need to make sure you're okay. Can you make it over to the ambulance?”

“No, I'm not leaving him.”

“He'll be fine, miss. We're about to get him in the bus. We'll take him to the hospital and he'll be observed for a day or so.” He offered her his hand and she accepted when two other men lifted the gurney, clicked it into place and wheeled Gabe away.

Once the gurney was secured in the ambulance and Avery had been given the all clear, she climbed in. This man of hers was never getting out of her sight.

While the police secured the two asshole thugs in the back of a police wagon, the men from the local morgue dealt with Vince and Marty.

Avery glanced back at the scene. It resembled what she imagined a war zone must look like with emergency vehicles and police everywhere. The back doors of the ambulance were closed and checked.

Avery was sitting beside Gabe's bed when Ruby and Grant burst into the room. His mother immediately bent over her son and brushed his hair from his forehead. Tears streamed down her face. Tears filled Grant’s eyes.

“I'm so very sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Jervis. I never meant for this to happen.” Avery burst into tears.

Grant left his wife's side and gathered Avery into his arms. She sobbed until his shirt was soaked. When she finally quieted he held her at arms' length. It was then he noticed she wore only a man's shirt.

“Why are you only wearing a shirt?”

“They wouldn't give me my clothes. He had a gun. Marty was dealing drugs. I…I.. had to run. The officer gave me his shirt.” The words tumbled out along with her tears.

Grant shook his head, none of what she said made sense and at this moment it wasn't important. He placed a finger under her chin and tilted her head. He brushed away her tears with his thumbs. “Listen to me.
None
of this is your fault. We are grateful to you. The police officer who came to the house said there was a tape with our daughter's killers' confession or close to it. He said the asshole is dead. Our daughter's murder is solved. Her mother and I have the closure we need.”

“Listen to Dad,” Gabe croaked.

Avery pushed away from Grant and rushed to the bed. “You're awake.” She threw herself onto Gabe, peppering kisses all over his face, lips and neck.

Her naked backside was exposed for all to see.

“I think we should leave. We'll go home and get Avery some clothes and shoes.” Ruby smiled at her red faced husband.

“Good idea,” he hurriedly agreed.

Grant and Ruby had left the room without either their son or Avery noticing.

“How do you feel?” She ran her fingers over his cheek.

“Like I've been hit over the head with a sledgehammer.”

More tears formed in her eyes. “I'm so sorry.”

He hugged her to him. His hand slid down her body, grasped her butt. It was bare.
She's fuckin' naked.
He sat her up
.
“Where the fuck are your clothes? What the hell are you wearing? Did you come here dressed in only that shirt?”

“They…Vince and Marty wouldn't give me my clothes. I had to run. They were going to kill me but then changed their minds and said they’d keep me as their whore. They were shooting and Ryan gave me his shirt.”

“You had to run? Who was shooting?”
Fuck, she could have been killed.

“Vince and Marty were arguing. Vince had a gun. He found out Marty was running drugs and using Tegan as his courier. He worked out it was Marty who killed your sister. He had a gun and while they were arguing, I got out of the room and ran. Vince killed Marty and chased after me. He started shooting at me. Matt told me to get down and he shot Vince.” The words tumbled over each other.

“Is he dead?”

“Yes and the assholes who hurt you have been taken to the police station.”

“I'm sorry sweetheart. I should have been there for you. I promised you, you’d be safe.”

“I am safe. It wasn’t your fault. Vince told me he’d been having me watched. He knew where I was. He knew I had spoken with the police, knew who you were. I was scared I'd never see you again and never have a chance to tell you, I love you.”

Gabe gave a strangled groan. “I should have known a piece of shit like Vince wouldn't let you walk away. I should have known he would be having you tailed. I put you in danger.”
She loves me?

“It's over now. I'll never be blackmailed by anyone again. I’ll never be anyone's captive again.”

“I'm
your
captive,” he murmured.

Avery gave him a puzzled look.

“You have captured my heart. I love you so much, sweetheart. Do you think you’d like to be a cop’s wife?”

Avery's smile lit up the room. A warm glow emanated from her beautiful eyes. He could see the love she felt for him. He pulled her down onto him, squeezed first one butt cheek then the other. His cock surged to attention. His hand crept under her shirt to her breasts. He twisted and teased her nipples until they were hard enough to hammer nails. Avery squirmed.

“Is that a marriage proposal?”

“Yes. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Yes, Gabe. Yes. I’d be honored to be a cop’s wife as long as the cop is you.”

He captured her lips. His tongue delved between her lips, grazed her teeth. She sighed with delight. Her pussy creamed with arousal.

She pushed at his chest. “I need air.”

Gabe chuckled. “I need you.” His eyes darted around the room. “Where are my pants?”

“In the cupboard, why? You can’t leave, the doctor’s said you have to stay for observation.”

“Just get them please.”

She hopped off the bed, pulled her shirt down over her ass and crossed to the cupboard.

When she bent forward to reach for his pants, Gabe groaned. She spun around. “Are you okay?”

“Fine. Get those pants here.”

Avery handed him the pants and smiled when he produced her G-string from his pocket. He spun it on his finger, she reached for it but he pulled it to his chest. “Mine. I have plans for these when we get home.” He stuffed them under the sheet and held out his arms for her.

She melted against him. She would willingly be his for the rest of her life.

****

Gabe held Avery close in his arms as she dozed. The waves crashed onto the shore, birds squawked, the sun shone brightly. Everything was good. He was in love, she loved him.
She said yes. She said yes with no hesitation.

They had talked at length about her moving into his apartment while their house was being built.
Their house
, he loved the sound of that. From now on, everything in his life would revolve around them as a couple.

His mother had convinced them to stay here until he was well enough to return to work. He had been ordered not to return for three weeks. Almost one week had already passed. He would have Avery to himself for another two weeks. His cock stiffened in anticipation.

Avery's eyes fluttered open. She gazed straight into Gabe's hooded eyes. “Hi handsome, how are you feeling?”

“Like new.”. He lowered his hand inside her shorts and slid his fingers over her folds. He pushed her to her feet and before she could blink, he had her stripped bare. He handed her a white bra, white G-string, stockings and stiletto high heels.

Silently she dressed. The air between them crackled and popped. Gabe devoured her with his eyes when she stood before him. “Come here.”

She stepped forward. He placed his hands on her waist. The electricity his touch generated, zinged to her toes.

His tongue danced over her belly, delved into the hollow. He popped a breast from her bra and lowered his mouth over the hard, pebbled nipple.

Her knees weakened, her G-string soaked within seconds. The muscles in her pussy clenched and pulsed with every touch of Gabe's tormenting hands. No matter where he placed his fingers, his mouth, his tongue – her pussy was on the receiving end of mind blowing arousal.

He reached around and unclipped the bra, slid the straps over her arms and flung it to the floor. While one hand and his mouth alternately worshipped her breasts, the other found its way into her panties.

“Always so hot and wet.” He plunged two fingers inside her. His fist pressed against her clit.

She pushed her pubic bone against his wrist to generate extra pressure where she needed it most. As she gyrated against him, tingles danced through her body and her need grew. She held his hand, ensuring his fingers stayed in place, and writhed against it as she climbed to her peak.

She moaned, wailed as she hit the heights. Wave after wave of ecstasy engulfed her body. Gabe brought her back down slowly. She was breathless, sated.

“Take them off now.”

She removed the stockings, shoes and panties. He pulled her down to the lounge and after shucking his pants, climbed on top of her. Droplets of cum dripped on her belly, he wanted her.

As he gave her another knee trembling kiss, he slammed inside her. “I won't last long sweetheart, come with me.”

Their lovemaking was frantic. They climbed together, the peak ever closer. Avery was flying and the man she had given her heart to was flying with her. They milked every aftershock together until they could give no more. They descended and relaxed into each other's arms.

Avery looked forward to a bright and loving future. A home of her own, children and a husband she would love more and more every day.

I have lost so much, but I have gained even more. Thank you, my love.

THE END

Thank you.
