Truth & Consequences: The Novel

by Leilani Harvey

  Her answer to his ultimatum would set an irreversible series of consequences in motion. Right here and right now, she could end the twisted affair. She could seek out Shane, tell him the truth about her sexual encounter with his friend, and hope he would forgive her betrayal. All she had to do was to decide then to act.

  “Yes,” she eked out in a whisper, “you can have me.”

  Her fate was sealed, her doom was certain, and Aneisa wanted to experience so much more of this frantic feeling coursing through her veins.

  Jayson bent down and scooped her up, pulling her into a spiral of lust and passion that Aneisa didn’t want to escape.

  6

  The nightspot was teaming with people, so Jayson backed them out through the rear doors and into the warm evening air.

  With Aneisa’s slim body firmly attached to him, he walked them over to a secluded spot at the furthest end of the back of the brick building, where the least amount of light would be shining on them.

  He kissed her again, savoring the flavor of her cinnamon tinted lips. He pushed his weight against her and pressed her back into the wall. The instant he did so, a stab of guilt touched his mind. The surface was too hard for her and he didn’t want to hurt her. Ordinarily, Jayson would have mentally kicked away this kind of concern; however, this time, against the wishes of his darker side, he listened to his conscience.

  He moved back and gently placed Aneisa onto her little feet. She motioned as if she were going to go down on him, and he stopped her by taking hold of her elbows.

  “No,” he said in a low and tight voice, while he eased her up into a standing position. “I want to see your face.”

  He cupped her cheeks again and kissed her lips before picking her back up into his arms. As much as he wanted to have her mouth covering the full length of his throbbing cock, he wanted her to be different from the others. He wanted a connection with her while they were joined together. This sudden rush of sentimental emotion surprised him; in fact, whatever was churning inside of him for Aneisa was scaring the shit out of him, but Jayson felt like he was helpless to stop its effects from working through his system.

  He placed his own back against the wall and positioned Aneisa so that she would be as comfortable as possible in his hold. He rained tiny kisses down the slope of her neck while he threaded his fingers in her dark brown shoulder length hair. The deeper his kisses became, the more she tossed back her lovely neck and pushed her hot pussy forward on his stomach. Her wetness was starting to leak through her panties. He could feel the thick moisture soaking through the front of his shirt. The scent of her juices was driving him into a frenzied disorder. The craving to be moving inside of Aneisa was building to mind blowing urgency.

  Jayson suddenly realized this was all wrong.

  He wanted to please this woman so much that he didn’t want to fuck her outside. She deserved more, or at least not to be in full view of whoever decided to stumble upon their intimate encounter.

  He broke from his kisses and she stared at him with hungry eyes; they were the most sensual shade of brown he had ever seen.

  “Why did you stop?”

  Her voice was velvety soft, like a sweet innocence and an inflamed passion mixed as one.

  Jayson’s fingers massaged her scalp; he was helpless to resist giving her the tender affection. Every stroke from the tips of his digits seemed to sooth both of them. He swallowed before making his proposal.

  “Let me take you home with me.”

  Aneisa’s gaze dropped away.

  “I can’t leave.”

  “Why not?”

  His agitation was returning. He was offering her more of himself and she was refusing. Was this going to happen with every woman who awakened genuine emotions within him?

  “Shane would know about us.”

  “So what?”

  Jayson was well aware that his buddy Shane was being fully occupied with Mia. Even if he weren’t, Jayson didn’t give a shit whether or not his old friend knew what his plans for Aneisa were. Shane didn’t even deserve to have such a special woman in his life. It was obvious he didn’t know how to satisfy her the way she craved, not the way Jayson had already done with confidence and ease. If that fact weren’t absolute truth, then Aneisa wouldn’t be here with him right now, cuddling up next to him, breathless for more.

  His earlier intentions, of keeping their affair covert, were slipping away. His need to claim Aneisa as his own had doubled. Jayson’s fascination was no longer due to simply trying to get off by playing a sick game with the couple; now he actually wanted Aneisa all to himself. Having a chance to truly take in her natural beauty was captivating another part of his mind and sent his yearning for her to a raging peak. He was experiencing pieces of himself that had become like strangers to him. They were the parts of his former self – devotion, affection, true passion – he missed the most. His few moments alone with Aneisa had been some of the only times Jayson had been able to escape his dismal memories of his love for Summer. The surreal truth was staring back at him behind a pair of stunning brown irises on a perfectly angelic face.

  Jayson twisted his fingers a little tighter in her hair. He eased her head back and put his angular nose to the side of her neck. In response to his mounting frustration for her refusal to leave with him, he closed his eyes and breathed out hard.

  He wanted to have Aneisa splashing her thick and silky pussy juices down his cock, that part hadn’t changed. His lust was boiling over and Jayson hadn’t forgotten the key to capturing her arousal. She liked to play rough sometimes, and she also enjoyed a bit of domination. It was one of the reasons why his time with her had remained so crystal clear in his memories. He would be the man she wanted him to be all over again. He would be big badass Jayson – use her and then walk away, if that’s what she really wanted. In a way, he was glad she turned down his offer. Love had ruined his life once before and he didn’t want to go through that tragedy ever again.

  He nipped the skin of her neck and she moaned.

  “Ride me…hard.” He spoke his command in a rough tone that sent gooseflesh over Aneisa’s skin.

  And then we’re through…forever, this time, he thought to himself.

  Aneisa placed a tight grip on his neck so he could reach down into the pocket of his jeans and then wrap his hardness.

  When he was finished, Jayson’s hands disappeared under her dress and grabbed two big handfuls of her lusciously supple round ass. His fingernails dug into her soft cheeks, forcing her to climb up higher into his hold. Aneisa’s knees clutched the sides of his waist, and she pushed her pussy into his stomach. With impatient strength, Jayson used a single hand to snatch her bikini panties to one side while he used his other palm to position his steel hard cock at the opening of her dripping pussy.

  Her hot juices dribbled down onto the tip of his fat cock head and he sucked in a sharp breath. He was ready for his first cum shot before he had even entered her. Without being able to control his dizzying and tender passion for Aneisa, Jayson leaned his face in and devoured her lips with his own. She fed into his sloppy and frenzied kiss, causing the pulsing veins along his shaft to triple in thickness. One forceful thrust upward and he was embedded inside of her warm walls, and it felt like home. A home he never knew he had existed or that he had been missing. Her tiny pussy hole stretched open for his thick dick and then collapsed around his throbbing shaft.

  Aneisa didn’t waste any time doing as he had told her. Once his long length was buried deep up her soaked pussy, she pushed her curved hips down hard on him, sealing Jayson inside. The tip of her womb bounced on his cock while she bobbed up and down on his waist. The effects of their feverish kiss coupled with the stimulating sensation of Aneisa’s cunt massaging his cock caused Jayson’s vision to double. He tightened his eyes and gave in to the scorching heat filling his torso and winding his stomach muscles into stiff knots.

  Aneisa’s ass cheeks jiggled wildly in his hands. He could no longer resist the impulse to
hammer away inside her. Jayson grabbed hold of her hips, lifted her up high and off his dick, then slammed her back down onto his rock hard cock, driving his pole savagely up her slick pussy.

  “Again,” she yelled out into the empty space surrounding them.

  He did so, over and over. Each pump was harder and more intense than the last, stretching out her pussy folds to their limits with every thrust. Aneisa threw back her head and received each stiff ram with an expression of pleasure and appeasement.

  A long bead of sweat inched its way around his forehead, over his temple, and down the side of Jayson’s face. The prickly sensation that signaled his climax was near crawled to the tip of his cock and spread out through his pounding veins. Jayson planted his face between her two breasts and cursed inwardly because they were not in a more private setting. If they had been, he would have stripped Aneisa absolutely naked. He wanted to suckle the sensual breasts that were hiding beneath the top of the dress and to taste her dark blueberry nipples on the center of his tongue.

  Aneisa screamed and pushed down sharply on his dick, engulfing his entire length in her drenched hole. A trickling feeling, like a warming glow, slid down his hard shaft as she whimpered out her orgasm several times over. While Aneisa grabbed at the wet strands of his slick hair, Jayson shoved deeper and deeper inside of the one woman who was able to help him toss away all of his cares and appease his inner turmoil.

  Her hot walls were fresh with smoldering juices and Jayson could no longer control the massive explosion building inside cock. He mashed his face against the cloth of her dress and used his enormous strength to lift Aneisa and heave her down for one final intensely deep stroke. His rigid manhood filled her dripping cunt. His lungs expanded and Jayson growled out his earth-shaking release. Four hot streams rapidly burst from his cock; then he collapsed against the brick wall – exhausted and satisfied.

  With one hand still holding Aneisa up and pasted to his chest, Jayson used a free hand to pull her into another, softer kiss. For the first time, in a very long time, he had found a little corner of peace in his mind. Aneisa had replaced a small part of the dark emptiness lurking inside of him with a new feeling…happiness.

  He secretly wished he knew how to make this newfound connection between them more permanent, more personal. He didn’t want to walk away from her and leave behind the first taste of joy he had experienced in over a year, but he had to. This is what she wanted, no strings. This is what he wanted too…right?

  PART III

  Sharing Lovers

  7

  The sound of a car horn blasting through the calm evening air startled Aneisa back to a shocking reality.

  She sucked large gulps of oxygen into her lungs and tried to shake off the intoxicating spell Jayson had cunningly looped around her. When she looked into his face, covered by a thin layer of perspiration, Aneisa was taken aback by what she saw there. The cold and cruel blue had been replaced by a warm and affectionate shade of cobalt. The deception in his face had been substituted with the allusion of adoration swirling behind his tender gaze.

  These new – more sentimental – emotions she perceived bubbling up inside of Jayson were too much for Aneisa to take on all at once. They pulled at the delicate strings of her heart; and she was dangerously close to believing there was more than lust floating in his mind for her.

  Had they truly formed some kind of arousing and gentle bond so quickly?

  No, this was another trap. He had taken her as his secret lover twice in one day, and he was already trying to calculate and plan out another way of making her into his long-term fool. She wouldn’t allow him to drag her life down any further into the muddy waters.

  She wiggled in his arms, hoping he would get the hint that she was ready to stand up on her own two feet. Jayson’s fingertips touched the sensitive spot at the center of her lower back, sending a shiver up her spine. He gripped her tighter, as if he were reluctant to separate their two damp bodies.

  More games, Aneisa mentally snapped at herself. He’s trying to convince you that he cares. What a joke.

  From everything she had recently discovered about this new and improved Jayson, he was a cold-hearted deceiver who was never to be trusted. His sole purpose was to take whatever he wanted, despite the mountain of consequences piling up with each passing second they remained in one another’s arms, and she had become his willing accomplice. True, he was also an ultra sexy alpha who had set her heart on fire and who had thoroughly drowned her with a fit of uncontrollable lust – twice. Nevertheless, these were dangerous qualities in a man and only heaped on to a growing list of reasons for her to escape from him. She wanted to blot out her presence from this sick tale of warped desire as fast as possible, and hide – under the bed, if needed – until this storm blew out of her life.

  When Jayson wouldn’t release Aneisa willingly, she unlocked her legs from around his waist. She didn’t care if she dropped down to the ground on her ass; all she wanted was to get as far away from this cunning seducer as possible. As her legs started to slip down his hips, Jayson regained control of her body and steadied her balance. He stared at her intensely for one more silent moment, and then he slowly bent down to set her standing straight up on the concrete walkway.

  The pair stood facing each other in a delayed and hushed pause.

  “I’m sorry,” Jayson finally whispered down to her.

  Aneisa’s mouth nearly dropped open when her ears picked up his raspy apology.

  He stepped up to her, closing the sliver of space she had tried to use as a barrier between them.

  “Aneisa, when I saw you again, I had to have you.” His long fingers touched her cheek, causing a wave of arousal to cascade down through the valley between her moistened breasts. “I tried to push it away, but the closer you moved toward me, the more intense the need became.”

  She was stunned. He had felt their overwhelming link as well. Even from across a crowded room, she had been drawn to Jayson’s ethereal charisma. The second they had locked eyes inside the lounge, he had become the only man who existed for her.

  Did he have the same reaction when she was near? Where would this craziness lead them?

  Jayson and Shane were friends – good friends. Was it possible he was purposefully trying to destroy both a friendship and a future marriage all at once? Was it so easy for him to do such terrible acts? If the answers were yes, he was definitely not the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life being absurdly and uncontrollably attracted to. All of this madness had to stop, right now.

  “Why are you telling me this?”

  It was a sincere question and he would, undoubtedly, provide an answer she probably wouldn’t want to hear. Whatever it was, it had a great potential to drag her further into his grip. Jayson had a way of spinning his words into enticing demands and propositions. She found that it was disturbingly hard to simply nod and walk away from him.

  His fingertips slid down from her cheek and positioned themselves on the crook of her neck, successfully intensifying the steamy drizzle starting to gather between her thighs.

  “I’m telling you this…and only you…because I want you, Aneisa.” He cupped the back of her neck and eased his face down and forward, preparing to ignite another burning kiss with her. “I want you to know me…the real me. There’s more than a physical attraction growing between us, and I don’t want to let it go…I don’t want to let you go…not yet.”

  Their lips touched. His mouth was warm and moist, and she wanted to feel his tongue sweeping across her lips one more time. She took a chance and flicked her tongue over his top lip. Jayson hissed low and snapped his eyelids closed.

  “Come home with me, baby…please.”

  His hot breath poured over Aneisa’s naked shoulders. His lids lifted and the sapphire blue jewels staring back at her immediately entranced her. Mere seconds before she was about to give in to temptation and to follow Jayson wherever he beckoned her to go, a sharp clicking noise caught Aneisa’s ears.<
br />
  She jerked her head away from Jayson’s kiss and turned to the right, the direction from which the sound was coming. She spied the source of the clatter and the sight sent her blood boiling to new heights.

  The sound of Mia’s stilettos stomping against the hard concrete was causing all of the sharp clicks. It was no surprise that Shane was hugging close to her side; however, seeing them moving from across the darkened parking lot was a true stunner. The slinking couple was headed back toward the club, but from where? A parked vehicle?

  On instinct, Aneisa turned to walk away and make quick steps toward discovering the answers to her questions. Before her wedge sandal moved one inch closer to her new destination, a strong hand clutched her upper arm and halted her pace. Lips pressed into her ear, followed by a solemn and confident vow.

  “This isn’t over, Aneisa. Not even close.” Jayson made the promise to her in a low bass that rattled her concentration.

  “Look, there they are…over there in that corner.”

  The sound of the devilish female – Mia James – pointing out their location helped Aneisa to regain her focus. Suddenly, Shane and Mia weren’t the only ones who were under suspicion. How quickly she had forgotten what a naughty deed she had just finished partaking in. Was it fair to suspect her boyfriend of cheating when Aneisa was already a confirmed and willing culprit of an even worse act?

  Her head dropped down as she gave herself the once over to check if her clothes were in a presentable appearance. Luckily, since she was wearing a dress made of light material that easily fell back into place, she was. She didn’t look in any obvious state of dishevel, not even after her nasty and satisfying romp outside. The faint sound of a zipper echoed behind her but the sound wasn’t loud enough to reach the approaching couple.

  Five more steps and the vixen stopped front and center. Mia eyed both of them knowingly. There was a slight smirk hovering on her lips, now suspiciously absent of that distinctive plum shade of gloss. Aneisa made a mental note of that interesting little observation. Next, her sight went over to her wayward fiancé, whose eyes were big and round; a look of muted surprise was painted over his pale face. For the second time tonight, Shane was cloaked in an awkward silence.
