Tolerance (Heart of Stone) (6 page)

“I need to feel you Ava” he breathed as he crawled up the
bed towards me and grabbing my ankles, he tugged so I was laid flat on the bed.
I gulped at his hands slowly swept up my shin and thighs. He grinned sensually
“I need to smell you” he whispered as his face came against my crotch and he
inhaled deeply. I moaned as my arousal flooded my shorts and Mason closed his
eyes in pleasure and moaned gently.

He knelt between my legs “I need to taste you” he rasped
and gripped my shorts on either side of my hips and swept them down my legs “Oh
My God” I wheezed as Mason kissed my foot and snaked his tongue gently and
slowly up my leg. I watched his every kiss and suckle as he worked his way
upwards. My sex was already on fire in expectancy and as he got to the apex of
my thighs I nearly passed out with eagerness.

As his tongue swept the entire length of my hot flesh we
both gave a moan of approval “There you are” he grated “I missed your taste
Ava. My mouth has craved your delicious juices” his tongue circled my clitoris
and I groaned and rested my head back against the pillow “Oh god that feels
good” I breathed as he entered two fingers into me “You’re so fucking wet for
me Ava” he growled and I swallowed heavily “Mason” I begged “What do you want
Ava?” he circled my clit more and his fingers matched its movement inside me,
stretching my muscles in readiness for him “Tell me Ava” he demanded “I wanna
explode around your mouth Mason” I groaned loudly as he hissed and sucked my
clit between his teeth and pulled his fingers against my front wall, pressing
against my G-spot. My orgasm ripped through me violently as Mason struggled to
hold my hips down as he worked me back to awareness.

He kissed my bump twice before he slid up to me, taking
my mouth in a demanding kiss. He pulled back and knelt up again and grabbing my
arms, tugged me upwards and peeled off my vest “I need to see you Ava” he said
as he pushed me gently back down onto the bed “and now I need to be inside you”
he said through gritted teeth. He stretched out above me, taking care not to
squash my stomach and as his mouth moved along my jaw he slowly nudged into me.
I sobbed in relief as he pushed all the way in, my body screamed in delight at
his presence and my pussy gripped him tightly as though never to let him go “Oh
God Yes” he groaned “Don’t move Ava” he grated as his teeth nibbled at my neck
“You feel so damn good Ava. We were made for this, made perfectly to fit each
other” I moaned at his words and rolled my hips “Make love to me Mason” I
begged and he pulled all the way out and then pushed back in so slowly. I
arched my back in ecstasy as we both groaned again at the contact “Oh Baby” he
choked as he repeated the action once more and then he pulled out and slammed
into me. I cried out loudly “Yes Ava, feel me” he growled as he slammed in
again and edged us up the bed with his power.

My man was back, back beside me and inside me and I was
euphoric and delighted. “TELL” he rasped as he slammed into me and I yelped,
“ME”
Slam…yelp
“YOU”
Slam…Yelp
“LOVE”
Slam…Yelp
“ME”
Slam…Yelp
“AVA”
Slam…Yelp.

“I FUCKING LOVE YOU” I screamed as I climaxed powerfully
and he cried out as my muscles squeezed him tightly. Before I had come down he
pulled out and flipped me over but he lifted me back against him so I was knelt
before him with my back to his chest as he knelt behind me. He kneel walked us
up the bed nearer to the headboard “Are the babies okay?” he asked softly in my
ear. I nodded “They’re well cushioned, don’t worry” I told him as I hung my
head to one side so he could get better access to the part of my neck he was
nibbling at.

Grabbing both my hands he placed them onto the headboard
“Good, because I’m gonna rip you in two” he snarled and I whimpered in excitement
as he thrust in to me “Hold on Ava” I nodded and gripped the bar of my white
iron headboard as he thrust brutally again then he started his relentless
pounding, edging us up the bed with his powerful blows until I was nearly at
the top. I let go of the headboard and locked my hands around his neck behind
me.

I tipped my head towards him, and bit his neck on each
formidable drive into me. One hand had settled over my bump as if protecting
his babies, a shocking contrast to his other hand that had gripped my hair and
yanked my head to the side to let him into my neck. My internal walls started
to clench as my third orgasm built rapidly “Come on Ava! Again!” he demanded
and as his teeth sunk into my neck as I screamed, savagely coming around him “I
LOVE YOU AVA” he roared as his own orgasm tore through him violently. He cried
out with each fierce spurt as his hot spunk hit my insides and as his last
potent pump drained him he rolled us over onto our sides and he pulled me into
him “Hold me Ava” he begged as we both panted heavily. I turned to face him and
slid my arms around him, my legs curled around his as I tucked my head under
his chin and we held each other tightly and almost immediately drifted into a
deep and peaceful sleep.

“Come on laz…Oh Shit sorry” I heard Courtney stutter and
I groaned against the light spilling through the curtains “What time is it?” I
asked her “Erm…11:20” she mumbled. “Go make her some coffee” Mason told
her
and I noticed a slight resignation in his voice and I
heard her softly shut the door behind her. We were still wrapped in each
other’s arms and I heard him sigh against me “Good morning Gorgeous” he
breathed in my ear and I sighed appreciatively.

He sat up and pulled me up so I was kneeling in front of
him “You are so beautiful Ava” he told me and anxiousness surged through me as
I saw his sad painful expression “From your soft curls” he stroked his fingers
through my hair “To your smooth pale skin” he trailed a finger across my
shoulder blade “To your delightful breasts” he brushed his thumb over the swell
of them “To your striking green eyes” he kissed each of my eyes “To your remarkable
heart” he leant forward and kissed my heart and then sat back and cupped my
face “That is why I’m setting you free Ava”

His words hit me like a bucket of cold water “W
..
w.what” I stuttered as my heart slammed against my chest
“I have to let you go. We can’t be together. I can’t…” he whispered as pain
tore through us both.

I scrambled off the bed, shaking my head violently “No
Mason…NO!” he lowered his eyes and I saw a tear drop off his chin onto the bed
“I don’t understand. You came here Mason! You made love to me damn it!” I cried
as he slowly climbed from the bed, reached for his clothes and pulled them on
“NO! Damn you” I yelled and he looked at me, his own heartbreak and pain
evident in his eyes “I needed to make love to you for one last time Baby” he
breathed as he cupped my face. I slapped him away “No Mason! Admit it! You came
here to fuck me!” I screamed and he shook his head, his tears free falling
“Never Ava! I ALWAYS made love to you” he said vehemently “I will always love
you” he breathed “NO!” I Sobbed “Please Mason. I love you” I begged and his
face screwed up in agony as he stood before me and cupped my face “You need to
be free of me Ava. I want you to be happy Baby. You deserve to be happy Ava” he
sobbed and I pushed him away, my heart shattering at his words “Please!” I
sobbed and he kissed my forehead “Goodbye Ava. Remember I always love you” he
wept as he stroked gently across my stomach and left me, left me to slide to
the floor, broken and dead inside as I screamed in agony until Courtney came in
and lifted me onto the bed, spooning me from behind and rocking me gently
“Mason” I sobbed heart wrenchingly “Mason”.

I made it downstairs an hour later and Greg was at the
kitchen table “Oh hey” I greeted as I gave him a small smile “I’m sorry, am I
keeping you from your woman?” I winked as I plonked into a chair. His hand
rested over mine “No Ava. You Okay?” he frowned at me and sighed when I just
shrugged “I don’t know what the hell’s going on with him Ava” he grumbled and
smiled softly at Courtney as she entered the kitchen. It lifted my spirits to
see so much adoration and love on his face for my best friend, she deserved it

“What happened Ava? As I came in and he told me to make
you coffee and I could tell by his face that he was going to do something
serious” I shrugged again and smiled at her as she handed me a mug of coffee “I
woke up in the middle of the night and he was here. He made love to me and then
this morning said he was setting me free…I mean what the fuck? I don’t wanna be
set bloody free. I want him!” I grumbled as a fresh tear slid free.

Greg huffed and chewed on his bottom lip in thought “He
was devastated when he came down the stairs. Something is definitely wrong” he
mused and I frowned at him “What do you mean?” I asked lifting myself from the
chair and grabbing the peanut butter from the fridge. He shrugged and sighed
“Ava, it broke his heart this morning to do what he did, so why? If he loves
you so much like I know he does then why the hell finish it?” I mumbled
something incoherent around my finger full of butter and they both
raised
their eyebrows at me in query “I said it’s obviously
Rebecca isn’t it. I mean he told me she was due at the beginning of February
and now all of a sudden it’s the end of March, he was obviously sleeping with
her while he was with me. I worked it out that me and Mason had been together
for a couple of weeks when she got caught. So if he was still with her when he
was with me then he must…” I looked down “He must still be in love with her” I
finished.

 
Greg huffed “Ava,
think about it” he said resignedly and I frowned “What?”
 
He rolled his eyes “Ava…it’s obviously not
his fucking baby” he declared and my body broke out in a cold sweat “What?
Why?...”
 
he stood and looked through the
kitchen window “Ava, I know damn well he didn’t sleep with Rebecca while he was
with you, I don’t even think he’s slept with her since you. He is so much in
love with you. He even told me how Erm…great things are in the bedroom with
you” I blushed furiously “Sorry, it’s a guy thing” he shrugged and cringed
“When he was with Rebecca, he didn’t give a shit who bedded her, Hell at one
time he shared her in a threesome with Dane” I shuddered as the image crept
into my head and I must have looked mortified because Courtney slapped him
“Greg, don’t tell her things like that” he shrugged again “But I’m just trying to
get her to see how it is, can you imagine Mason sharing Ava?” he said with a
‘never in a million years’ look “There’s something going down and I have a
feeling it’s to do with Rebecca. Mason must know it’s not his baby” he pondered.

The cogs in my head were working overtime “He did seem
amazed at the scan. Like it was the first time he’d seen his child on the
screen and I did wonder why because he should have been a little more laid back
after seeing Rebecca’s and he was adamant he hadn’t slept with her while he was
with me” I murmured as I tapped my nails on the table.

“There’s something else” Greg said as he looked at me
“Mark has gone missing” he stated and I frowned “What do you mean, Mark is
missing?” he pursed his lips and huffed “I’ve heard on the grapevine that Mason
finished him and made a fucking good job of it when he did. Really made him
suffer”

“I don’t understand what that’s got to do with me” I said
as he sat in the chair beside me “I’ve had my ear to the ground for you for a
while, wondering what Mason has been up to. I…I…Well Courtney means a lot to me
and as her best friend well, What hurts you hurts her so I’ve been doing some
digging” he stated and looked at me intently “Ava, the night you finished Dean,
can you remember who was with you?” he asked and I raked my memories “Erm not
really, I was kind of zoned out. I know Mason and Sam were there” I told him
and he nodded “I wasn’t there that night Ava but can you remember if Mark was?”
he asked and I bit my lip in thought “I really can’t recall Greg I’m sorry, why
is it important?” I asked now absolutely bewildered “Well I bet you didn’t know
that Mark and Rebecca had an on-going relationship, that’s how Mason met her,
through Mark. And at one point we were all aware that Mark was in love with her
but by then she had fallen for Mason” he informed me and I nibbled furiously on
my little finger “There’s just something dodgy. I mean Mason just used Rebecca
for sex, he really doesn’t even like her and yet he’s choosing her over
you…Nah! There’s something we’re missing!” he affirmed and I rose to grab
another jar of butter and some gherkins.

 
Greg watched in
amazement as I gorged out a huge pile of the butter onto a gherkin and devoured
it “Wow” he said with a grimace and Courtney scoffed “That’s nothing, you
should see her with soap!” she told him as she filled the kettle “Soap? You eat
soap?” he pulled a disgusted face at me and I shrugged unhappily “She won’t let
me have any, hell even Mason got angry when he caught me eating it”

I realised my mistake when Courtney swung around and
glared at me “When?” she demanded and I shrunk in my chair “Erm the day I went
to pick up my stuff. I only had two bites” I appeased quickly “He stole it from
me” I pouted angrily and Greg laughed “Jesus” he rose from his chair and went
and pulled Courtney in his arms “I’m gonna go see Sam, see what I can dig up”
he kissed her tenderly and I looked away, a little jealous of the display of
affection. He stroked her cheek tenderly and she beamed at him as he kissed her
nose and grabbed his coat off the back of the chair “See you Ava, I’ll be in
touch if I uncover anything” I nodded and smiled

“Greg” I shouted and he turned around “Thanks” I said
considerately and he put his hand on my shoulder “We’ll sort this Ava, he’s my
friend and it guts me to see him so unhappy, and you, you belong together” he
said tenderly and my eyes welled up. He winked and left and I turned to
Courtney “I like him” she grinned at me “So do I” she beamed.
