Tolerance (Heart of Stone) (34 page)

We had been ushered into a waiting room three hours ago.
Sam and Greg’s brother were sat with us. I stretched my legs and stood up to
crack my back. “God, this is stupid!” I groaned “Coffee?” I asked everyone and
Sam stood up “I’ll come with you” he said as I took orders from Courtney and
Ryan…I think that was his name anyway, it had been a bit of a blur when we’d
been introduced. I squatted down in front of Courtney “You need anything else
Hun?” I asked but she shook her head “Just coffee” she said quietly and I
kissed her forehead and went in search of coffee.

“How are you doing Ava?” Sam asked as we were stood by
the vending machine “I’m good Sam…really good. I’m just hoping this doesn’t push
him back…you know” I told him as I took the plastic cup from the machine and
fed it more money for another one. He nodded “He does seem to be doing well” he
smiled at me and patted my arm as my phone rang.

I frowned when I saw Kerries name on the display and I
held a breath as I answered “Hey” she said quietly “Hi” I whispered back and
closed my eyes “He’s on his way over to you, he’s struggling Ava” she told me
and I gulped “Okay, Thanks Kerrie” I said faintly “Ava…I’m hoping he gets to
you, he was in a bit of a state” she worried and I exhaled “Okay, listen, I’ll
text you as soon as he gets here” I told her and ended the call.

Sam looked at me and I sighed “I told him to come and
find me if he needed me and Kerrie’s just rang to say Mason should be on his
way here but he’s in a mess and she’s not sure if he’s gonna get here
before…well, before he diverts somewhere else” I grit my teeth and prayed that
my man would do the right thing.

We wandered slowly back to the waiting room and Sam
stopped me before we went in “What are you gonna do if he doesn’t turn up Ava?”
he asked and I knew he was asking for the whole scenario but I shrugged “Well,
he promised and if he doesn’t keep that promise then I don’t think I can live
with him… I don’t know what else to do!” I said honestly and he nodded.

 
We entered the
waiting room to find the doctor talking quietly to Ryan and Courtney, Courtney
was crying but nodded every now and again and we hung back and let them have
their conversation in private. The doctor patted Courtneys hand and smiled at
us before he left.

“How is he?” I asked as I passed them their drinks “Well,
they’ve managed to stop the bleeding but he arrested during surgery” I sagged
“He’s okay, they’ve fixed him up but the next 24 hours are critical, so we’ve
just gotta wait now” Ryan said whilst he slumped into a chair.

I walked over to Courtney, who took one look at me and
broke down “It’s gonna be fine Courtney” I soothed and she nodded “I love him
Ava” she declared between sobs “I know Hun but don’t you think it’s about time
you told Greg that?” I urged “But what if he doesn’t want me?” she cried as the
room door opened and my wonderful man stood in the doorway.

I exhaled loudly and I held out my hand to him, he
stalked towards me, gazed at me and collapsed beside me on the floor “I’ll be
two minutes baby” I kissed him hard on the lips “Thank you” I whispered in his
ear, the relief that tore through me nearly stole my breath and my hands
started trembling. He smiled painfully and nodded and I knew he needed me more
than anything right now.

 
“Hun” I turned to
Courtney again “He’s crazy about you, even I can see that” I told her as I felt
Masons hand start to tremble in mine and I knew he was struggling with himself.
I squeezed him tightly and he returned it by clenching my hand securely.
 

Courtney eyed Mason sceptically then the light behind her
eyes switched on and she realised what was happening “You two get off, I’ll be
fine here with Ryan and Sam” she said, giving me a brief nod of her head towards
Mason, who was now looking pale and sweat was pouring off his head.

I gave her a grateful smile and hurriedly rang Kerrie
“Hey” I said as she answered “Masons with me, are you okay with the babies for
a few hours?” I asked and she exhaled loudly, her own relief palpable “Yeah,
we’re good, we’re watching countdown” she giggled and I couldn’t help but smile
at her “Okay. We’ll see you soon” I ended the call then stood up and kissed
Courtney “Ring me later with an update” I said and pulled Mason up, who seemed
to be in a world of his own.

Sweat was dripping from his forehead, his free hand was
clenched and his jaw was tight “Come on Baby” I said gently and he smiled at me
and nodded at everybody in the room as I led him out of the hospital, into my
car and took him back to the cottage.

I unlocked the door and ushered him through and led him
up the stairs and into the bedroom. He frowned at me but I started to unbutton
my shirt. His eyes widened and dropped to my fingers as his breath hitched.
This was the only thing I could think of to take his mind away from his need
and craving and besides…I wanted this too, I needed him close and joined with
me.

When I popped the last button I slipped the shirt from my
shoulders. He stood, his eyes glazed as he stared at me and I took both of his
hands and placed them over my breasts as I stood in close to him and started to
undo his shirt.

His breathing deepened as I kissed the skin that was
revealed with every opening of a button. My tongue sneaked out to taste him and
a small groan rumbled from his throat as one of his fingers started to trace
along the edge of my lace bra. I slid his shirt back and my own breath hitched
at the sight of his hard stomach…he was God! I mouthed his nipple and grazed my
teeth over it and he returned the gesture by sliding his thumb over my heavy
nipple. I moaned and bit down gently on his skin and snaked my mouth down over
his stomach, tasting his unique salty and musky flavour “You are so beautiful”
I murmured against his abs as I unbuckled his belt and slid it free.

He inhaled sharply as I cupped his hard erection over his
trousers and his hands settled in my hair, twisting it round his fingers as I
undid his trousers and slid them down his legs, tapping his ankle for him to
step out of them. I licked, nibbled and kissed my way back up his leg “I need
you Ava” he rasped and I nodded “I know” as I ran my finger over the outline of
his cock through his shorts. He hissed and his hands tightened in my hair as I
nibbled the contours of him and as I reached the head of his length I slid his
shorts down and freed him. I groaned at the sight of him, he was huge, hard and
pulsating profoundly.

I licked from the root to the tip and he growled as I
swirled my tongue around the tip of him “You taste so good baby, I’ve missed
your cock so much” I told him and his hands tugged at my hair, guiding my head
further onto him. I knew my dirty talk always turned him on a lot and I
revelled in his need and lust for me.

I mouthed his hardness fully and slid my lips all the way
down, loosening my throat to accommodate him and swallowing as he reached my
throat to take him further “
Christ Ava
”
he snarled and I slowly did it again as I cupped his balls and caressed them
tenderly and sucked him again, speeding up a little as I slid a fingernail over
his perineum and he rewarded me with a long deep groan “You want my finger in
your ass Mason?” I asked huskily and I felt his cock throb heavily in my mouth
“Fuck Yeah” he snarled and I looked up at him through my eyelashes and saw his
hooded eyes watching me as I sucked on my finger in preparation.

I slid my hand behind him “Bend over me Mason” I
encouraged and his hands left my hair and slid down my back to cup my bottom as
his body bent over me. Coating my finger with saliva, I groaned and slid my
finger into his backside and he cried out loudly and jerked into my mouth,
flooding me with his delicious spunk “
FUCK!!!”
he roared as he jolted and shuddered on my tongue

“Jesus Ava. You fucking amaze me” he pulled me up and
took me in a demanding and controlling kiss, his hands slipping down over my
backside “I’ve missed this…being with you” he rasped as his hands undid the
button on my jeans and he slid them down my legs. His nose came to rest against
my mound and he inhaled deeply “You smell so fucking sweet baby, I want you
under my mouth” he said and I moaned as his words flooded my core with arousal
“Oh yeah, I can smell your husky scent so much better now” he stood up and
walked me over to the bed and pushed me gently so I was sat on the edge.

“Lift” he ordered as he slid my knickers over my thighs
and down my legs. He knelt back on his heels and gazed at me “Take your bra
off” he commanded and I smiled coyly, biting my lower lip and gazing at him
alluringly as he stole a breath. I slipped the straps down my shoulders and
held my bra against me as I unhooked it with the other. His eyes darkened and
heated as he watched me and I tipped my head slightly and pulled my bra away.
He sighed deeply and took a nipple straight into his mouth, sucking heavily on
it and I arched my back, pushing myself further into his hot mouth. He bit me
softly then blew gently on my wet nipple causing a small moan to escape. His
mouth found my other pert nipple and he sucked it, bit it and blew on it before
he kissed his way down my stomach and down to my eager pussy.

He placed his hands on the inside of my thighs and pushed
them open. He bit his lip harshly as he stared at my openness “So fucking
beautiful” he whispered and his fingers parted my folds, opening me up further
to his scrutiny “You are so damn perfect Ava, this was made for me” he rasped
and he bent his head and licked from my anus up to my clit in one sweep “Oh
Yes” I moaned “Your tongue was made for me Mason” I groaned and I gripped his
hair as he started to work me in a frenzy, his hot tongue driving me wild. He
gripped my thighs tightly to hold me down as I bucked underneath him “Come on
my tongue Ava, I want your cum dripping down my throat” he said and as he
slipped a finger into me and stroked the front wall I cried out as my body
clenched tightly and my orgasm took over, pinning me immobile as it coursed
through me “YES!!!” I snarled as I lifted my hips higher, pushing myself deeper
into his mouth.

He worked me down gently and
then gripped my hips and pulled me off the bed and positioned me over him, my
legs either side of his bent ones and I slid down on his stiff cock. We both
sighed in contentment and I sank all the way down, taking all of him as he
filled and stretched me. His mouth found mine as he kissed me vehemently and I
lifted off him and plunged back down. We both groaned as I twisted my hips as I
reached the base of him “Fuck! Do that again” he hissed and I did, his eyes
squeezed tight as I twisted on him “Oh God Baby, I need you to come Ava, right now”
he snarled as he took a nipple in my mouth and bit it gently. I powered onto
him as he slid a finger between us and laboured my clit as I plunged harder
onto him “Yes” I cried as we both climaxed together, mixing our juices as we
grunted like animals and bit into each other’s necks. I was surprised I wasn’t
covered in scars from mine and Mason’s primal love making but it worked for us and
that’s all that mattered.

“Wow” he breathed as I sweated and panted on top of him
and he rested his head on my chest “Thank you baby” he whispered and I kissed
his head “My pleasure” I grinned and he chuckled “No…it was definitely all
mine” he lifted us onto the bed and I curled around him “You feeling better?” I
asked hesitantly and he laughed out loud “Well your diversion tactics certainly
helped. I feel fucking euphoric” he declared and I grinned up at him.

He squeezed me tightly and kissed my head again “I told
you, you wouldn’t be able to keep your hands off me for three months” he
chuckled and I snorted “It was for medicinal purposes” I smirked and he nodded
with mock sincerity “Of course baby” I kissed his chest “Thank you for coming
to me Mason, I mean it” he nodded against me “It was so hard baby, all I wanted
to do was obliterate the damn feeling of letting Greg down. I just wanted to
escape” I held him tighter “You didn’t let Greg down, don’t blame yourself
Mason. How do you feel now?” I asked and he sighed “Still pissed and raring to
find the bastard but I don’t feel the urge, the need deep inside me to get
high. I’m high from being with you” he whispered and I chuckled “You smooth
thing Mr Fox” he dug his fingers into my ribs “Only to seduce you with Miss
Stone” he grinned down at me.

My phone rang and I rolled over the bed onto my stomach to
pick up my bag from the floor and saw it was Courtney “Hey Hun” I answered “Hi”
she said quietly “How’s he doing?” I asked as Mason stretched out across my
back as I was still leant over the edge of the bed “No change, I was just
ringing to see if I could stay with you tonight…I don’t wanna…I don’t wanna be
alone Ava” she gulped “Courtney that’s fine Hun, give me thirty minutes and
I’ll come and fetch you” I told her “Sam said he’ll drop me off at Mason’s.
Apparently Greg’s gonna be out for a while and there’s nothing I can do here”
she explained and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me “No problem Hun” I
heard her heavy sigh and ended the call

“You hear all that?” I asked Mason as he kissed tenderly
down my bare back “Yeah” he breathed as his teeth nibbled my bottom “You have a
gorgeous ass Ava” he dipped his tongue into the crack at the base of my spine
and I wriggled against him. His finger swept up my groove and pressed against
my anus “I would love to fuck your sweet ass Ava, make you delirious with
pleasure as I screw your tight cunt with your vibrator at the same time” he
whispered against my skin and my mouth dried and I moaned “
Fuck Mason
” I swallowed as he bit my buttock “Make you scream in
ecstasy as I fill your arse with my hot cum” we groaned together and I reached
round to slap his leg “Mason stop, Courtneys on her way over to yours and we
have to get over there” I closed my eyes to compose myself and then struggled
out from underneath him
