  I was overwhelmed by his compassion. I wasn't entirely sure what I had expected but he responded in a way that made me feel less alone. I guess that had been the point. My heart flooded with love for Link. I had never expected such things from him, I had never expected things to get so serious between us but I was so happy that they had.

  “How about I try and help Jared. Maybe there is something that I can do.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “Well let me talk to him. Maybe I can get through to him. We used to be buddies after all. Let's go back there right now and talk to him.”

  “Oh god Link, that would mean the world to me. Thank you,” I gushed. I couldn't believe he was willing to put himself out there. He knew what Jared was like right now and what he thought of him and yet he was willing to go over there and talk to him anyways. That said a lot about who Link was; I knew it couldn't be easy for him to want to help someone that had spent weeks trying to bad mouth him and who called him a crook at every turn. I certainly wouldn't want to help someone that has systematically started a smear campaign against me. That's how I knew that Link must really love me. None of it made any sense. I didn't understand why Jared was spiraling out of control. How could one small recipe cause this much damage?

  “Okay love, let’s go and get this figured out.”

  I kissed him firmly on the lips.

  My heart was pounding when we arrived back at Jared's house. I didn't know what kind of condition he would be in at that point but I knew that he didn't want me there. He would be even less thrilled that Link was there too. I wasn't sure what we would be walking into and it scared me. I had to try though. I just had to. I couldn't leave him in that mess without first trying to get him out. He was my brother, the closest one to me in our family and I couldn't just sit back and watch him fall apart without doing everything in my power to stop it.

  I looked over at Link in the car and smiled weakly. He smiled back and me and squeezed my hand. “Are you ready?”

  I nodded. I still had the key for the back door but I doubted he had taken the time out of his drunkenness to go back and lock it again. We went into the back yard and up the porch steps. Just as I had thought the back door was unlocked.

  Link and I enter Jared's home and headed straight for the living room. Thankfully Jared was still awake and he watched us as we entered the room. Daggers came out of his eyes as he stared at me.

  “Hey Jared, I know you are going through a rough time right now. Maybe it's because I left the rest. I'm not sure. But surely we can work things out like old friends. We used to be buddies and things have got way out of control, don't you think?”

  “Go fuck yourself Link.”

  I gasped. “Jared, what is wrong with you? Link is here to help you and is willing to work things out with you in a civil manner. Why are you behaving like a fool?”

  “You think because he's your boyfriend he actually cares about me? You're just as much of a traitor as he is.”

  “That's bullshit and I'm sick of you blaming everyone else for your problems. I didn't do this,” I said as I motioned around his room. “You have made a mockery of your business and you only have yourself to blame. Link and I together has nothing to do with this stupid recipe.”

  “He's a crook!” Jared yelled.

  “Where did the recipe come from Jared? I sure as hell know it wasn't something passed down through the generations. So, if it's yours where did it come from?”

  Link looked over at me and smiled with pride.

  “Ummm...it's been around for a while Gemma...probably a few years. I made it up myself.”

  I shook my head. “You're a liar. I can't believe you are sitting there lying to me. You need to let this vendetta go. Link's success is not your failure. You're restaurant is its own success with or without Link being a part of it.”

  Link jumped in, “Look Jared. Let’s just forget this whole thing. I have no intention of getting lawyers involved; just pull your teeth out of my business and me. We can go back to the way things used to be, we could still be friends. Your sister loves you a lot; nobody wants to see you like this. I don't hold grudges Jared. I just want this thing to end between us. You need to stop beating yourself up about all this and do the right thing. What do you say, Buddy?”

  Jared looked up at us and I couldn't read his expression. I wasn't sure if either of us was getting through to him. I thought that link's speech had been genuine and I found it surprising how easily he was willing to forgive Jared for me. After everything that Jared had done to him it was a wonder that he would be willing to forgive him at all, but there he was doing just that. He was doing anything he could to help get Jared out of that fog and back into his old life again. I could have kissed Link for all that he was doing, but I restrained myself.

  “Get the hell out of my house, both of you.” Jared looked straight at me, “This is now the second time I've told you. I want you to leave and never come back.”

  I turned away from him immediately and fled his house. Link was right behind me as I ran back to his car. I was crying by the time I reached Link's car and I flung myself inside. He came around to the driver's side and let himself in.

  “I'm sorry Gemma, you did nothing wrong. We did everything we could. It's time to let him fend for himself for a while.”

  I nodded, not saying a word.

  Chapter Four

  Link drove me back home and when he parked in front of my building he turned to me. “Gemma, I need you to go upstairs and pack yourself a bag.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “I think you need to get away from all this for a while. You need a break from what's going on with your brother. I would like to take you away for the weekend to clear your head.”

  “Oh god Link, that's so generous of you but I couldn't possibly leave right now. It's just not the right time for me. This thing with Jared, I just can't leave.”

  “I'm afraid that I'm going to have to insist. You are falling apart and this thing with Jared is no longer in your control, you have to see that. There's nothing that either of us can do about Jared at this point. You need a break, and to be honest so do I. We both need a break from this whole mess.”

  “Okay, maybe you're right.”

  “That's my girl. I'm going to tie up some loose ends at the restaurant and then I will be back to get you baby, okay?”

  “Sure.”

  He kissed me goodbye and I got out of the car. I headed upstairs to get packed for his return.

  Chapter Five

  After packing a small bag for the weekend I headed into the kitchen to open some wine. I wasn't sure when Link would return but I needed a moment to relax. I couldn't have been more stressed out in that moment and I could barely think straight. I just kept picturing my brother passed out on the couch in the middle of the day. The sight of that cocaine would haunt me forever. I didn't know what happened to my fun-loving brother and I worried that I would never get him back.

  I opened the bottle and poured myself a glass of wine. I took it outside onto my balcony and sat down in a lounge chair. I took a deep breath and prayed that Jared was going to be okay.

  Sipping the wine, I closed my eyes. How did we get to that point? It was obvious that Jared had lied about the recipe this whole time. He had behaved in a manner that was not only unprofessional but unethical and I felt like strangling him for it. That wasn't how our parents raised us and I couldn't believe he had gone and done something like that. He already had a successful restaurant so why go through all this trouble over a recipe that wasn't even his? It was such an unholy mess and I couldn't understand how Jared had done all this stuff to himself. He was clearly beating himself up about the mistakes he had made, but so what? We all make mistakes. He needed to wipe that cocaine off his table, clean himself up and start over. It wasn't that hard to do and the fact that Link was offering him forgiveness without retribution should have brought a smile to Jared's face. Instead he had lashed out at us again
. I was totally at a loss as to what to do with him. Maybe Link was right; maybe there really was nothing I could do. Jared would have to make his own decisions on where he wanted his life to go from this moment on. He could continue spiralling or he could pick himself up and get back to his life before his business started failing.

  I put in a call to my brother and wasn't surprised when his voicemail kicked in automatically. I sighed deeply and waited for the opportunity to leave a message.

  “Look Jared, I'm just calling because I love you. You know I do, we are so close that I can't believe these things are happening between us. I love you so very much and I hope that you do the right thing. I miss you and I want you to come back to me. Your restaurant needs you.”

  I clicked off the phone and sipped at my wine again. I wasn't sure if he was even going to listen to the message but it was there just in case. It could pull him out of this mess…you never knew.

  “Hey sweetheart.”

  I turned to find Link behind me. I smiled as I got up off the lounger.

  “Hi, I was just trying to have a moment to relax.”

  “Well you definitely deserve it.”

  I continued to sip at my wine. I was in no rush. “So where are you taking me?”

  “I’ve rented us a beach house. It's one that I have used regularly so I know it will be perfect for us.”

  “So you mean you have taken other women there?” I said with a chuckle.

  “No! I definitely didn't mean it that way. I've had a family weekend there once and a few of my friends and I rented it for a week to party. No ladies Gemma, I promise. You are the first lady that I have ever taken there with me.”

  I smiled, “Okay I believe you.” He came to me and kissed me. He tasted warm and inviting.

  I finished off my wine and Link grabbed my bag. We headed out to his car to go to the beach house.

  Chapter Six

  It took almost two hours to get to the beach house but not before we stopped at a local market. We needed supplies for our weekend away. Link when around the market as if he was on a mission. He picked up ingredients for a recipe he wanted to serve me that evening for dinner and he picked up five bottles of wine. I perused the market as well and picked up the latest best seller from my favorite author. There would be times when we would be relaxing on the beach and I wanted to have something that I could drift in and out of and this book sounded exactly like what I needed to disappear into for a while. I imagine us snuggled up on the beach, wine in hand as I read my book and Link luxuriated in the sun. Yes the weekend away had been a great idea. I don't know why I even tried to fight it. Even just being out of the city right now felt great. I could forget the mess that we had left behind even if it was just for the weekend. I was going to let go of Jared and forget about the mess that he was in. I didn't want to focus on it at all. It was a mess plain and simple and it wasn't even of my own creation.

  I grabbed some snack items as well and met Link up at the register. He took care of paying for everything; he was a true gentleman.

  When we got to the beach house, I started to settle in while Link went about cooking his recipe. I unpacked my bag and tried to settle in with being at the beach house. Once that was completed I went out onto the large porch that surrounded the beach house. The air was still warm even though it was now evening. The wind smelled salty and I breathed it in deeply. The ocean looked inviting and the stress seemed to dissipate from my body just standing out there on the porch.

  I went back into the house to see if Link needed any help. He was opening a bottle of wine as I entered the kitchen. A man after my own heart. “Do you need any help Link?”

  He looked up at me and smiled, “No, I think I have everything under control.” He poured two glasses of wine and handed me one.

  “Thank you. What are you making?”

  “Spaghetti sauce. We are having some pasta tonight my love.”

  I stopped mid-sip, “Wait...is that the recipe? THE recipe?”

  He met my gaze, “Yes it is. I want to prove to you it’s mine. I know it from heart. I don't even measure things up anymore, I do it all by sight. Can your brother do that?”

  “Link, you know I believe you. My brother couldn't even tell me where he got it from. You have nothing to prove to me.”

  “I know. I just wanted to make it anyways.”

  I smiled sadly, what a mess. “Well I'm looking forward to tasting it.”

  “It's starting to bubble right now, why don't you have a taste?”

  I moved over to the stove as he took out a ladle. He dipped it in the pot and the fragrance alone was mouth-watering. He blew gently on the sauce to cool it down and then he moved it towards my mouth. I took a taste and it lit my taste buds right up.

  “God, that's fantastic. No wonder my brother is fighting for it,” I said laughing, “You can practically taste the generations in it.”

  He laughed and kissed me on the lips. His kisses became more fevered and I moaned underneath them. I needed him in that moment to erase on the pain and hurt I had experienced in the past few days. I wanted him badly and I kissed him back hard to let him know what I wanted. He growled in response.

  I stopped and looked into his face. He cupped my face and smiled as he looked at me. “I love you Link.”

  “I love you too, sweetheart.”

  He kissed me again and lingered with it slowly slipping his tongue into my mouth. I accepted it and sucked gently on it, tasting him. His arms wrapped around me and his hands found their way to my ass. I kissed him even more intensely and began rubbing his cock through his pants. It wasn't long before he was hard as a rock, a very big rock. He moaned with the friction my hand was causing.

  “How do you like that Link? I got you nice and hard.”

  “I'm going to fuck you so good baby.”

  I moaned, excitement igniting me. He lifted me into his arms and set me down on the kitchen counter. I giggled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and bringing him in for another kiss. I watched as he pulled his T-shirt off and tossed it aside. After he took off his shirt, then went his shorts and I smiled deliciously as his underwear went next. He looked so hot that I could barely contain myself. He came to me and pulled off my blouse and unclasped my bra. He immediately took one of my nipples in his mouth and sucked on it. I gasped excitedly, wanting his cock that much more. I lifted my bottom up and wiggled out of my shorts and panties. He watched as I spread my legs on the counter revealing my opening. I was giving him motivation to hurry up and fuck me. He bent down before me and lapped away at my pussy. I moaned loudly, loving the feel of his tongue against my deepest folds. He was so good at oral that it was hard to want him to move on.

  I moaned his name as he sucked on my clit. Things between us in bedroom or lack of a bedroom had become pretty aggressive lately, not that I minded but it was certainly a change from what I was used to. I knew with a guy like Link it probably had to do with his need to claim me in his own mind and I allowed it because it turned me on so much.

  He sucked on my clit, slowly putting two fingers inside me. I gasped and he pumped into me hard, my mind swirling with the intensity building up inside me. I knew what was coming, he would slide his cock into me right there on the counter and claim me once again. We still had yet to have sex in a bed but the fact that we fucked anywhere we wanted made sex between us that much more exciting. Link was very well endowed and it was always an overwhelming feeling to have him enter me especially if he was going in hard and fast. It was all in a good way though; he hit every nerve inside me when we fucked.

  He stood up and pulled me off the counter, “Turn around baby I want to fuck you doggy.”

  He didn't need to ask me twice and I immediately turned around and pushed my bum in the air. “Fuck me Link, really good. Fuck me hard.”

  That was all the encouragement he needed to plunge his throbbing cock inside me.

  I cried out with the pressure of his size pushing into me. He pushed into me deeper a
nd I moaned loudly. Having him inside me drove me mad. I couldn't get enough of him, he was my strong man and I literally needed his cock inside of me.

  “Please Link, baby I need it.”

  He pounded roughly against me and I moaned with every thrust. He rubbed my ass, his most favorite attribute of mine. He slowed his thrusts, moving in and out of me slowly but going deeper inside with every one.

  “Link, god baby you feel so good.”

  “Your pussy feels incredible Gemma.”

  He leaned over and reached around to my clit. He liked giving me double the pleasure when he could. I think it was why he liked doggy so much. I moaned feeling fulfilled in both areas. He rubbed my clit hard and I started to feel dizzy from all the pleasure he was giving me. He was thrusting his cock into me hard again while he rubbed my clit.

  He fucked me slowly again with his hard cock. I thought I was going to lose my mind there were so many delicious sensations going through my body.

  He bent over further and bit me on the shoulder. I was delirious with pleasure and I thought I would lose my mind when the full length of him started pumping into me slowly.

  “There you go baby, that feels good doesn't it?”

  “Oh Link, your cock makes me feel so good.”

  He found my clit underneath and rubbed into me as his pace picked up. I felt a tension building inside me and I knew that an orgasm was going to rock me very soon. It felt so good having him tease my clit while he fucked me.

  “Oh Link, I'm going to cum.”

  He pumped into me until I came and then he spilled himself into my pussy releasing his own orgasm. He pulled out of me and I turned to him enveloping myself in his arms.

  Chapter Seven

  It was amazing how quickly things had changed between Link and I. I knew it was bound to happen the moment I had seen him but the fact that we had moved so quickly was a surprise to me still. But he kept surprising me, he seemed genuinely sorry about everything that happened with Jared and that's why I had no problem staying by his side. And the fact that he had told me he loved me, actually that had certainly been a slam-dunk. He amazed me every day and I hadn't expected him to confess feelings for me so soon, being a guy and all, but once he did it changed everything for me. I wasn't about to leave his side for a second. I wanted Link and needed him and if he truly loved me then I believed that everything was finally going to be okay.
