Legally Bound 4: Allegations of Love

by Blue Saffire

  When they were finished, Ellen waved Camille out of the room. “They can share that room for tonight,” Ellen whispers. “That way they will, at least, have each other when they wake in an unfamiliar room. Tomorrow, we’ll give them their own space.”

  “Thank you so much for this, Ellen,” Camille says with tears in her red rimmed eyes.

  “Oh please, you would do the same for me,” Ellen says bringing Camille in for as close an embrace as her belly would allow. “Would you like some wine? We can sit and talk for a few.”

  “I don’t want to be a bother. I could take that wine and get out of your hair,” Camille replies.

  Ellen laughs softly. “I may not be able to drink, but I will not let you drink alone. Come on. I had a lot on my mind anyway. We can keep each other occupied.”

  Making their way to the kitchen and pouring Cam a glass of wine and Ellen some water the two go to sit in the living room. Camille takes a long sip of wine before tossing her head back against the sofa. As she closes her eyes, a huge sigh escapes her lips.

  Ellen takes the time to examine her friend. Camille looks so different. It wasn’t just the stress that she usually hid so well. Ellen was noticing the changes that Camille had made. Some she wasn’t so sure were intentional.

  “I love the hair,” Ellen says with a smile. “It’s so…I don’t know. It makes you look…” Ellen pauses to find the right word.

  “Ethnic,” Camille opens her eyes to narrow them at Ellen and lifts a brow.

  Ellen’s eyes widen at Camille’s words. While Camille’s features did look much different with the shortly cropped cut and the reddish brown color, she would never say it the way Cam was implying. “I was thinking more along the lines of exotic. Did I offend you somehow,” Ellen asks softly.

  Cam sighs and shakes her head. “I’m sorry. Don’t pay me any attention. It has been a long day,” Cam sighs. “Thanks for the compliment.”

  “You look great. I think you look good with the extra weight you have gained and the hair cut,” Ellen blurts out before she can catch herself. Realizing how her words came out, she clamps a hand over her mouth.

  Camille bursts into laughter and has to clamp a hand over her own mouth. She wipes at the tears that slip free. She gives Ellen a warm smile.

  “I never wanted to be blonde and I have enjoyed eating whatever I want lately,” Camille’s snorts. “Thanks.”

  “Baby, where are you,” Sam calls as Ellen opens her mouth to say something to Camille. “I’m ready to make good on that promise.”

  Both Camille and Ellen turn to find Sam rubbing his hair dry with a towel without a stitch of clothing on. Camille’s breath hitches before she lets out a low whistle. “Well damn,” she whispers.

  Sam’s head snaps up at the sound of Camille’s voice and his cheeks turn pink as he drops the towel to cover his erection. The towel is nothing more than a hand towel and doesn’t cover much. Sam’s thick, powerful thighs and chiseled chest remain on display.

  “I’m so sorry I didn’t know we had company,” Sam says in embarrassment as he starts to back out of the room. Sam stops as his eyes take in the rather attractive woman before him, sitting with his wife. “Cam?”

  “Hey Mairettie, thanks for the show, I think you have officially made my night.” Cam teases.

  Sam snorts and shakes his head before backing out of the room completely this time. He notes that a lot about Cam has changed. She has always been an attractive woman, but with her hair cut and dyed it did something new for her features.

  Cam looks at Ellen and lifts a brow. “I see why you and your sister in laws keep getting pregnant,” Cam fans herself. “Paige told me once that Bobby is hung like a horse. If what I just saw is any indication… phew.”

  Ellen throws her head back and laughs. “If you were anyone else I would probably scratch your eyes out,” Ellen teases.

  “I haven’t had sex in a year. After seeing that, I don’t know if you should trust my ass,” Camille teases and laughs sincerely for the first time in months.

  “I trust you more than you know,” Ellen says warmly.

  “Thanks. Thank you for everything,” Camille says somberly.

  “Anytime, if it were me I know you would do the same,” Ellen says with a knowing nod.

  Ellen had to admit to herself that her uneasy feeling had only become stronger with Camille’s call. Everything inside her told her to cling and cleave to her friend. They were going to need each other.

  Chapter 23

  Marie tugs at the silk ties that have her restrained to the bedpost at the head of the bed. Her arms are stretched out at her sides as she rests on her knees in the middle of the bed with a blindfold over her eyes.

  She gasps as something warm and wet drips down her back, causing her back to arch. She can hear Jas breathing behind her, making her anticipation skyrocket and spike throughout her body. The scent of peaches and cream fill the air as this time the warm liquid rolls over her neck.

  Jas’s warm hands begin to knead the liquid into her shoulders. When he finishes kneading that area, he starts to plant soft kisses, then wet open mouthed kisses to her skin. Jas’s hands move lower to her shoulder blades, sliding across her silky soft skin to her front massaging the liquid into her breasts before rolling and pinching her sensitive nipples.

  Marie starts to squirm and grasps at the silks. Jas smirks against her skin moving his hands lower to her taut belly. Marie jumps when his tongue flicks between her crack. One hand slides between her legs as Jas starts to stroke her folds gently with a feather light touch that drives her insane with need, the need for more.

  All at once Jas’s hands are gone and Marie is bereft with the loss. Her ears strain as she tries to figure out where he has gone and what is next. She can feel her arousal sliding down her in thighs.

  The bed shifts behind her and she yelps as something freezing cold touches her skin. It only takes a second to realize that it is ice that is being trailed from the nape of her neck down her spine. Making it to the base of her spine, Jas plants his strong hand in the center of her back. He pushes Marie forward.

  Marie turns her face to the side and rests her cheek against the cool sheets. Jas drags the ice between her crack to her pussy, using his other hand to guide her hips into the air. He works the melting ice around the outside of her pussy lips before tonguing it into her folds, where he makes love to her core even after the ice disappears.

  Marie doesn’t hold back her moans and cries of ecstasy. Jas groans, growls, and grunts in delight as her cries for him turn him on. He wraps his hand around his base and squeezes. Just the sight of his woman before him sends a shudder through him. Marie would always be the only one to make him lose control.

  “Oh Jas,” Marie moans into the room. “I’m so close can I come now, please?”

  “Come now, Little Dove, show me who’s boss,” Jas groans through a smile.

  He had to admit he would hate any other woman calling him Boss, but it was sexy as fuck coming off of Marie’s lips.

  “Oh God, you are the fucking Boss,” Marie screams as she tumbles over the edge.

  Jas raises up behind her and plunges into her tight heat. Marie screams out again as another orgasm slams into her. Jas groans and holds onto her hips tightly as her pussy grips his member unrelentingly. Jas starts to power through her quivering walls.

  “I love you so much,” Jas groans. “You feel so good. I’ve wanted to make you mine for so long.”

  “I’m yours, Jas, I always have been, always will be,” Marie cries out.

  Jas couldn’t give two fucks about Marie’s training. Once she let herself go, she became a natural to his touch. He looks down to watch her ass bounce back against him as she rocks her hips back. Above all else this was what he wanted, her to give herself to him as a lover, a friend, and the man that would protect and provide for her for the rest of her life.

  If they choose to play, he was more than fine with that, but he wasn’t going to punish her for
breaking protocol or doing something that just felt right to her. Each time she called his name out it made his heart swell and he wasn’t about to correct her.

  Jas pulls from her hot, wet heat, and slaps her tight ass on first the right cheek then the left. Marie moans loudly and bites down on her lip. The slaps sting against her skin, but in the right way as they send waves of desire and passion throughout her body and soul.

  Jas strikes again, biting his lip as he watches her ass turn pink under his hand. He can see her pussy starting to drip in excitement as he delivers another round of blows, making sure the final one targets her pussy and clit.

  Marie’s legs start to quiver and Jas thrusts into her once again. She whimpers as she comes around his hard cock once again. Marie didn’t think she had another one in her.

  She would wait for Jas all over again if it meant she could have this feeling forever. His long, hard manhood feels so good driving in and out of her repeatedly, stroke after stroke. When Jas growls and tightens his hold yet again, as he starts to pound harder and deeper, her eyes roll into the back of her head. Marie starts to chant his name continually.

  “Oh Jas, Jas, Jas, Oh God, Jas, yes,” Marie sings out in a harsh voice.

  Jas can feel his own release building at the base of his spine. His balls tighten as he can feel his release building in the tip of his cock. He was about to blow, but she needed to come one more time.

  Jas reaches between Maire’s legs stroking her clit lightly. Already knowing her body and that it wouldn’t take too much to set her in the right direction. Marie’s hands yank at the silks, her legs and arms shaking. There isn’t a cell or nerve in her body that isn’t aware of the orgasm rolling through her body, as stars burst behind her lids underneath the blindfold.

  Her mouth makes a soundless o, her voice leaving her altogether. Jas roars his release as her juices gush around him and her tight walls suck him dry. Marie slumps against the bed. It is not until he releases her restraints and removes the blindfold that he realizes she has passed out. Jas chuckles to himself pulling her into his embrace and raining kisses all over her sleeping lids.

  “I love you,” he says with a smile on his lips as he lids too, begin to close.

  “Jas, do you hear that,” Marie asks groggily as a loud scraping sound rouses her from her sleep.

  Her whole body is deliciously sore from their lovemaking well into the night. Jas is just pure insatiable. Marie was sure that if she hadn’t passed out from her millionth mind blowing orgasm, they would have still been at it. She could already feel his erection pressing into her butt.

  It has been three days since they were first snowed in. Both their phones lost signal not long after they called everyone back home with their news. Jas hadn’t been surprised their phones lasted so long. The Briggs phones boast a technology that some would love to get their hands on. All of their clients’ phones were fitted with the same technology in order to be tracked when necessary. He had just been able to reach out before losing service to find out the ETA on a rescue team to get them out of there.

  Jas lifts his head as the sound reaches his ears as well. “Get dressed,” he commands and slaps Marie’s still stinging behind.

  Jas drags his body from the bed as well so that he can pull on a pair of jeans and a sweater. As he makes his way to the front of the cabin, a knock sounds on the door. Jas jogs the short distance and opens the door.

  “Hey there, Son,” an older gentleman says as Jas pulls the door open. “We’re here to get you, folks, out. We better get a move on, though. Word is there is another storm on the way. We have just about enough time to get you down the mountain and to the airport if we get going now.”

  “No problem,” Jas smiles at the man. “We’ll be right out.”

  Jasper had Marie pack her things last night. Not that they had used or unpacked much during their stay. Jas turns and quickly makes his way into the bedroom. Marie is standing in the mirror in a tight pair of jeans and a cream sweater. His cock twitches in his pants just at the sight of her.

  Shaking off his feelings of lust he moves behind her and kisses the back of her head. “We have to get going. I’ve got our things. You can go get in the car,” Jas says and swats her bottom for good measure.

  Marie yelps, but turns and gives him a sexy smile. Jas lifts a brow at her when she just looks at him with lust in her big grey eyes. He shakes his head, pulling her to him by her waist.

  “We will have plenty of time for that when we get home,” he murmurs against her lips, then kisses her deeply before releasing her to collect their bags to leave.

  He would have to thank the old men for their meddling this time. He couldn’t remember the last time he was this happy. It was time they go home to start the rest of their lives.

  Chapter 24

  “I just confirmed the movers for your place,” Jas says absently as he taps away on his phone. He reaches out without thought wrapping a hand around the back of Marie’s neck and gives a gentle squeeze still looking down at his phone.

  The flight home had been one to remember as they spent most of the flight in the private cabin of the jet. When Marie passed out from exhaustion Jasper had taken the time to really think over his life. He had asked himself several questions.

  Some he had answers to and others not so much. What he knew was that he was not waiting to move Marie into his place. He had bought the house with her and a little family in mind. It was time to fill it up with more than just dreams of what he wanted.

  He also knew that he didn’t want to separate from Marie, but he did love working with his family. If they could support Nate and Kevin in their careers while they still took care of family business, he wanted that for himself as well. This led to what he didn’t have answers to.

  Jas had tried to ask himself repeatedly what he wanted the family to support him in. He wasn’t like Rita that loved makeup, or Marie, who loved to model. Nate had always had a mind for business and Kevin loved to cook. A part of Jas felt like he should be able to answer such a simple question.

  What do I want to do? The question was playing on repeat. It was more frustrating than the time he spent waiting on his chance with Marie.

  “Jas, are you listening to me,” Marie scowls as Jas rubbed his thumb back and forth over the sensitive skin behind her ear while his other fingers still splay her neck.

  He turns to kiss her temple as he brings his focus back to her. Marie sat silently staring at him as they rode in the back of the SUV that was waiting for them on the tarmac. Jasper searched her face and groans inwardly at the annoyed look on her face.

  He had a feeling that whatever he missed was important. He bites his lip and gives Marie an impish smile. “Sorry, I was thinking some things out,” he says with his deep voice.

  Marie sighs and rolls her eyes. The look on her face turns to one of concern. “What are you in such deep thought about,” Marie bites her own lip and lifts an unsure brow. “You aren’t having second thoughts are you?”

  Jasper’s lips spread into a sexy smile. His hand around the back of Marie’s neck flexes in place. His pinky runs across her collar, causing his smile to deepen. His head dips and he captures her lips for a searing kiss.

  Jas could feel the shiver that quivers through Marie. He lifts his head and looks into the eyes of the only woman he has ever truly loved. His other hand drops his phone in his lap and he reaches to stroke her cheek.

  “All my life I have wanted nothing more than you,” Jas says sincerely. “I may be unsure of a few other things in my life, but you are and never have been one of them. I’d marry you tonight if I didn’t think it unfair to rob you of a wedding.”

  A beaming smile spreads over Marie’s face. “I love you so much,” she says breathlessly.

  “Those words aren’t even enough for how I feel for you, but if they are the only ones I have to use then know that I love you. Always have, always will and beyond.”

  “I know,” Marie says softly and strokes the s
tubble on Jas face. “Now tell me what is on your mind. I know you, Jas. You have had that faraway look for days now.”

  Jas opens his mouth to deny her words, but pauses and sighs. This is Marie, his best friend, the woman he plans to marry. They had just spent a year and a half rebuilding their relationship. If he wanted to be a good husband like he knew his father and Uncle to be then, he needed, to be honest with his fiancée.

  Fiancée. That sounds so crazy in his thoughts. Marie is finally his. Jas made up his mind, reaching to pull Marie into his lap. Marie wiggles in his lap until she is facing him. She is now able to look him in his green eyes. Her breath was instantly stolen by the sheer beauty of Jasper.

  He is simply put, a gorgeous man. His loving heart just makes him more breathtaking. Marie could feel her panties getting moist from being in his lap and looking into his smoldering eyes.

  “I’ve been thinking about making some changes in my life. I want to do something of my own. You know like Nate has done,” Jas offers up.

  “Oh wow, that’s great. What are you planning on doing,” Marie chirps happily with a smile on her face.

  “That’s what I have been in thought about. I don’t know what I want to do. I just know I want to do something,” Jas sighs in frustration.

  “Well let’s think about this together. Two heads are better than one,” Marie encourages. “Let’s think about what you are good at and what you love. What are your skill sets, what talents do you have?”

  Jasper furrows his brows in thought. Marie sits in his lap silently, knowing this is something he has to answer for himself. Marie could make a long list of things she knew Jas to be good at, but in order for a man like Jasper to really find answers they have to come from within. It was something that Liv helped her to understand about him.
