Enlightened (Red Flags) (23 page)

"Let me take the lead.  You can be my support system, but I have to face all of the bullshit head on, and I will, because you don't deserve any of it.  I'll never put you in that predicament again, I swear."

I leaned over and kissed him hungrily.  I'd been waiting to unleash my raw emotion on him and seeing him completely break down, and then work tirelessly to rebuild our relationship, was exactly what we needed.  This time, my tongue overpowered his as I tried to devour every inch of him.  He was broken and wanted me to help him build himself back up.  I lay down on the bed, pulling him down with me.

"Take me Jason.  Take me and make us whole again."

He looked down on me and nodded his head, smiling lightly as he did so.  He removed his shirt and I watched as the muscles from his ripped chest flexed as the fabric swiftly moved over them.  He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my lips and briskly removed my shirt.  A mischievous grin crept across his lips as he noticed that I was not wearing a bra. 

"How did I get so lucky?" he murmured. 

I smiled back at him but didn't answer his question.  He used his skillful fingers to tug at the waistband of my shorts.  I lifted slightly to help him remove them.  He grinned seductively as he took in the length of my body.  Jason lowered his body down to me, gently moving my hair out of the way, and taking my neck with slow, sensual sucks.  I felt my skin begin to tingle in delight.  It had been too long since I'd had him this way.  He placed delicate kisses from my neck, up the side of my face, and over to my ear. 

"You are so damn amazing."

I was too lost in his touch to say anything in response. 

Jason used his mouth to softly tug on my ear.  The sensations rippling through my body from the anticipation of him caused my legs to tremble.  I worked my fingers through his luxurious, brown hair, and as my pants grew heavier, so did Jason's.  He snaked his fingers down and over my collarbone, stopping to trace the lining from side to side. 

He began working his way down my neck once again, moving his hands down to my breasts that were now hard and standing at attention.  Jason looked up at me as he touched them and smiled. He didn't say anything.  Instead, he continued working his mouth down over my collarbone, and finally to my breasts.  I felt him nuzzle his face in between them, and then his soft, moist tongue traced the round border of each nipple.  The sensations I'd felt minutes earlier were now magnified.  I felt my insides begin to tremble as he lined each nipple, periodically stopping to take them in his mouth. 

I began to squirm beneath him and he used one of his hands to hold my body in place. My clit was throbbing for him.  He was working tirelessly over every inch of my body, tortuously building up my anticipation.  He used his large, manly hand to massage the free breast that his mouth was not consuming.  His teeth gently raked my breast, sending shivers down my spine.  I moaned, but it was of no use.  The more I moaned, the more Jason intensified his movements.  He had me at his disposal, and I was in no way going to free myself of him.

Jason planted soft kisses down my torso, occasionally taking parts of me in his mouth and using his dexterous tongue to excite every inch of my body.  He reached my belly button and circled the inside, stopping to lick and kiss every so often.  I pushed his head down further and watched as he took my panties in his mouth.  He pulled down on them, using his teeth to grip them tight, and I lifted my body to allow for full removal.  Jason stood to pull my panties from my legs, stopping to admire my naked body before him. 

"Damn.  It's so pretty," he said after slowing sucking in his bottom lip.

I sat up and gently unfastened the button to Jason's shorts.  He stood in nothing but his boxers, his firm erection poking through the slight hole, inviting me to devour it.  He shook his head and laughed quietly.

"I'm not done with you, yet."

He placed his large, enticing body back over me, forcing me down onto the bed.  He fixed himself in between my legs.  Kisses were sprinkled from my hips down the outside of my thighs, back over into the inside and back up until Jason's mouth was cradling my clit.  He breathed lightly into it, making me buck with excitement.  Soon, Jason's tongue was exploring every inch.  My hands tugged on his hair, causing him to use his own to restrain me.  Pleasure coursed through me as the feeling of being contained thrilled me.

I felt the tip of Jason's tongue sneak inside of me.  He sent light flicks to the entrance of me, making me try with failed desperation to move from under him.  The torture of his touch was beginning to become too much for me, but Jason didn't relent.  He began using his tongue to circle the entrance and I managed to move my body closer to him, sending his tongue diving deeper into me.  He moved his tongue fast, and then slow, alternating speeds, and keeping my body guessing.  He used light suckles to calm the fire that was beginning to ignite inside of me, and I soon found myself unable to contain the jovial movements taking place from my lower half. 

"Jason…" I moaned. 

He didn't let up.  He continued his onslaught, sending my body near the edge of orgasm.  Just as I was beginning to tremble uncontrollably, Jason removed his tongue. 

"You're coming with me inside of you," he said in a whisper. 

He quickly removed his boxers, and I admired the large, full erection that stood before me.  He tortured me for a few seconds longer, standing in front of me, taking his cock in his hands and gently stroking himself.  I sat up, but was quickly laid back down as Jason used his large body to once again cover me.  He worked my legs open with his own, and softly placed his firm length at the entrance of my clit.  My body ached for him.  I could feel the now ignited flames burning inside of me as I sat, waiting helplessly for him to enter me.  I didn't have to wait too much longer because he soon eased the tip into me, making me moan with pain and pleasure all at once.  I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him tighter, prompting him to enter me even further.  He gently eased in, methodically stretching the walls of my clit that had gone too long without his rock hard cock.  The pleasure from the intrusion was met with a slight hint of pain, and I winced, causing Jason to stop.

"Are you okay?"  He asked with concern on his face.  I nodded my head and he continued.

Once Jason was fully inside of me, I felt my body relax.  I wanted him more than anything in the world, and now that I had him, I gave him full access to every inch of me.  He moved slow, raking the insides of my clit in a most pleasurable manner.  He moved my legs one by one around his waist, giving himself the space to work me even deeper.  The further he went, the more I moaned.  The low grunts coming from him, as he smoothly moved back and forth, caused my grip around his neck to tighten as he worked in and out of me.  He moved his head, effectively loosening my grip on his neck, and leaned down to place soft kisses on my face. I opened my eyes and looked up at him, my eyes connecting with his, as raw passion channeled between us both.

I began to swivel my hips while Jason moved, hoping to take more of him, as my body cried out for release. 

"Wait for me, Gorgeous," he breathed.

I was finding it difficult to wait.  My body had been on the brink of explosion since Jason's mouth had overtaken it.  Now, he was using the one part of his body that knew how to completely own me, and I was having a hard time trying to contain the orgasm that was surely going to rip me in half.

Jason placed his hands underneath my body, grabbing my ass as he began to move slightly faster.  The grunts coming from him, and the strain in his face, indicated that he was close to coming, so I moved my body to meet him thrust for thrust.  A few slamming thrusts later, I could feel my clit ignite as sparks rocketed through my body.  Jason stilled inside of me, crying out my name as he did so.  The effects of the orgasm that ravished my body only allowed moans and groans, no words, as I lay, convulsing violently from the assault of Jason's cock on my body. 

When we finally calmed, we calmed together, near simultaneously. I was taken back to the times before and something felt different about this time.  This time felt like two people who were truly in love and only wanted each other.  This time felt like the giving of souls to one another, without a care in the world for anyone else in it.  This time felt like Jason had given all of himself to me.  The physical closeness that we shared was overshadowed by the emotional connection that was poured into our love making.

Jason exited me and rolled over to the side of me.  I watched the large, sculpted pecks of his chest move up and down as he worked to steady and slow his breathing.  My fingers ran over every inch of them as I worked to slow my own.  Jason took my face in his hand, turning me to him and smiling into my eyes.

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Cara Pinkston."

I watched his eyes flutter as he said it.  A smile crept across my face.

"I love you, Jason."  I said, finally feeling free to say what I had been feeling for so long.  Shock coursed through Jason's face and he sat up, steadying himself on his elbow.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting to hear that?  There was once a time I thought I'd never hear you say those words to me again.  I'm never going to take them for granted."

He leaned down and kissed me passionately.  A tear rolled down both of our faces and was met by our cheeks colliding into one another. 

"I love you, baby, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure you know it," he said.

I tucked my head down on his shoulder.  Jason used his fingers to play in my hair.  We lay in comfortable, enamored silence for what felt like ages.  I was lost in his intoxicating aroma of passion and love. 

After lying together for what felt like ages, I heard the doorbell ring.  Jason looked over to me, but we didn't move.  The doorbell rang a few more times, and then I heard Chelsea say, "She's busy right now."  I hadn't even heard her come home, but she was working tirelessly to get whoever was at our door to leave. 

"You expectin' someone?"  Jason asked, looking at me curiously.

"No.  I have no clue who that is."

Jason got up and held out his hand for me, pulling me from the bed, and handed me my clothes to get dressed.

"Chase, just wait for Cara to call you," I heard Chelsea say. Small pricks of anxiety covered my skin.  I had meant to call Chase, but with everything that had happened, I had forgotten. 

Jason dressed quickly and took me in his arms. "We're going to deal with this shit.  Everything is out in the open and we're going to handle each one of our problems together."

I nervously smiled at him, not entirely sure what there was to handle or how to handle it.  Jason and I had just consumed each other in the most refreshing way possible.  I didn't want to spoil it with a Chase debacle, especially one where I could be blindsided with whatever Chase was bringing with him. 

Chapter 17

Chase stood in the living room with a peeved Chelsea, both staring each other down, but neither saying a word.  I tentatively walked down the stairs, holding Jason's hand as he strolled down behind me.  When we stepped down from the last step, both Chelsea and Chase broke their death stares at one another and looked up to us.  Chase's eyes shot to Jason and I saw a twitch of his lips turn into a scowl. 

Chelsea ran her hand through her hair and rolled her eyes as she said, "I tried to get him to wait for you to call him." 

I motioned with my hand to brush it off, and Chelsea sat down on the couch, obviously done with this situation.

"What's going on, Chase?"  I asked, moving further into the living room, still pulling Jason with me. 

Chase looked at me, then to Jason, then back to me.  "I guess I should ask you the same thing, Cara."   Red flashed through him as he said it.

"I'm really sorry that I haven't called you back.  I swear I was going to, but work has had me swamped--"

"Work or something--someone--else?" he said, eyeing Jason. 

I looked at Jason, who was now moving to my side with his arm possessively draped over my shoulder.  He had a smirk on his face as if he was enjoying what he was seeing. 

"Chase, I'm sorry.  Seriously.  But right now is just not the time for this."

"When is the time?  I've been calling, texting… there never seems to be time."

Jason sniffed and ran his finger under his nose.  His gaze turned impassive so I wasn't sure if he was still finding this entertaining, or getting annoyed by it all.  I didn't want to deal with Chase right now, especially not with Jason standing right next to me.

"Chase, I'll call you later tonight."  He shook his head as he closed his eyes.  He seemed visibly upset but my absence didn't seem like it warranted him being so angry.  "Is there another reason that you're so angry?  It seems like there's more."

Chase rubbed his hands through his hair and let out a deep sigh.  "Don't worry about it.  Your boyfriend destroying his dad's company, throwing me into the mix, and then you playing hooky is really nothing, Cara."

"What the fuck do you know about my dad's company and my actions where it's concerned?"  Jason asked, removing his arm from around my shoulder and stepping closer to Chase.  I did not want to see a fight between these two.  I had seen too many near altercations for my liking and it seemed like these two were well on their way to another one.

"I should have known something was up when you hired me there.  You wanted to make my life miserable.  I thought it was strange that things were going so well, but then I found out about you dumping the company, and letting it crumble in someone else's hands without a care for the rest of us there." 

Chase was breathing hard.  All of his frustrations were boiling out of him.

"I swear to fuckin' God, Cara, you better get your fuckin' friend before I deck 'em."  Jason's eyes locked on Chase, and if looks could kill, Chase would have already been six feet under with flowers on top.  "You have no fuckin' idea what is going on with my dad's company.  I didn't hire you out of spite, you prissy little bitch, I hired you because I thought you were the best man for the job
and
because you were Cara's friend.  I guess I was wrong."
