Shocking Heaven

by Sidebottom, D. H.

  His hands swept up my back and then over my shoulders and down until he reached my breasts. “God, I love your tits babe.”

  I groaned and shifted on his lap when he took my nipples between his fingers and teased them, the same time his mouth encouraged my arousal by grazing over the tender skin on my neck.

  “I hear ya’ babe” he whispered into my ear as my moans got louder and I started to move on him more.

  “Need to see you E” he said as he lifted me, turned me to face him then lowered me back down onto him.

  His mouth found mine as he kissed me in his unique way, his tongue governing everything mine did and I palmed his face as I drove us higher to oblivion, my body instinctively taking control as it rose and plunged back down, faster and harder with each stroke.

  My thighs clenched him tighter as he took one of my nipples in his mouth and savoured it with his tongue and teeth.

  “I love you Eve Hudson” he rumbled as his eyes penetrated mine.

  His words brought my climax and I fell to pieces around him, crying out his name as he did the same and spewed into me. His ejaculation seemed to last forever, as he continued to pump into me. “Fuck. Christ!” he growled as he jerked wildly into me.

  “Can feel your heart beating through your chest Babe.” he wheezed as he rested his forehead against my breastbone and held my eyes with his own as he peered up at me..

  “I love you too Jaxon Cooper” I whispered. He groaned and closed his eyes as if relishing my words and engraving them to memory. “I’ll always love you Jax. Right until my soul shrivels and dies.”

  Which would probably be Monday, when he boarded the plane back to America.

  He sighed heavily and cupped my cheek with his hand. “Babe…I need you. I need all of you, with me E. I can’t…it hurts too damn much…”

  I nodded and pressed my lips to his “I know baby.”

  He rubbed his nose around the tip of mine “You mine babe?”

  I smiled softly “Lock, stock and barrel baby. Always and forever.”

  CHAPTER 46

  Thursday afternoon I was stood behind the closed door to the room that contained the band members of Hell’s Eden in the MTV studios.

  Leah was staring at me irritably as my hand hovered over the door handle. “E. What the hell is wrong with you?” she hissed before I took a huge breath and walked in.

  They were sat around a small table drinking coffee and my temper rose when I spotted Mad, laughing and joking with them.

  They each turned to me and smiled as I entered but my eyes glued to Mad. “Get out. You’re fired!” I said simply.

  Angel and Hunter laughed and prodded Mad but Mad knew from my face that I wasn’t joking.

  “Can you do that E?” he smirked and I smiled slyly.

  “Well it’s either you or me Mad and I think Brent will find it easier to replace a drummer” I spat.

  Angel and Hunter squinted at us both, wondering what the hell was going off, but Mad and I locked on each other.

  “Well?” I provoked and my breath hitched when I saw the members of Room 103 enter the room.

  Each one of them silently walked over to Mad and dragged him from the room. Not one word from any of them.

  Angel stood up quickly, his chair flying behind him but I stood in front of him and shook my head. “Sit down, we need to talk.” I informed him.

  “What the hell is going on?” Hunter asked and I sighed as I sat before them.

  “Mad tried to rape me then nearly killed Bruce” I told them frankly.

  Both of their eyebrows hit their hairline but they just stared at me in shock.

  I filled them in as they were silent and both of them snarled when I told them what he had done to Bruce.

  Charming. No reaction for my part.

  They both sighed when I finished but it was Leah who spoke from behind me. “I hope those guys kick the shit out of him” she said angrily and I nodded.

  “What about the charity thing Saturday?” Angel asked. “Boss is gonna fill in for him. But I’ve been onto Brent and he’s already putting some feelers out for a new guy” I told them.

  “So Brent already knew?”

  I nodded. “I’m sorry I told him first but I needed to know if I had his backing, before I walked out on you all.”

  Hunter did a very rare thing then. He stood, hugged me and kissed me gently on the cheek. “With you all the way E.”

  I smiled gratefully at him and Angel nodded. “Needs his balls cutting off. Knew he had a thing for you but…”

  I nodded in agreement just as one of the studio men came to fetch us.

  “Are we announcing his departure now?” Angel asked but I shook my head. “No, Brent will deal with the press release.”

  “Holy fuck E. Dunno how you’re still alive after these last few days” Hunter scoffed.

  It wasn’t the last few days that would kill me.

  It would be Monday.

  ***

  Jack was waiting for me as I exited the studio and I frowned at him “I thought I was going with Angel and Hunter?”

  He shook his head. “Change of plan E. Leah told me to pick you up and run you for an impromptu photo shoot. Angel and Hunter are done for the day” he told me as he held the back door open for me.

  I groaned as Hunter and Angel laughed. They got into their waiting car in front of mine and I poked my tongue out at them before I climbed mine.

  “Ooh gimme your phone a minute E, I’ve got a new number” Jack said as he turned to face me from the front seat.

  I shrugged and handed it to him. “You could’ve just given me the number Jack and I would’ve done it” I told him as he fumbled about with my phone.

  I stared out of the window for five minutes then looked back at Jack. “What are you doing? It’s taking you ages” I asked as I moved to look over his shoulder.

  He passed me my phone back and smiled. “Yours is a different phone to mine and I couldn’t work out how to do it” he chuckled.

  He pulled out into the traffic and I people watched through the window. “Who’s the shoot for?” I asked but Jack shrugged his shoulders.

  “Where is it then?” I tried but he shrugged again. “Dunno, just got an address” he said simply and I frowned.

  This wasn’t like Jack; he usually knew everything down to the finest detail.

  “Everything okay Jack?”

  He just nodded again and I was starting to get a bit suspicious when he glanced at me through the mirror, but in the end I left him to it and settled back and closed my eyes, hoping to catch up on half an hours sleep before the shoot.

  ***

  A beeping sound woke me from my sleep and I blinked a few times to clear my eyes so I could take a look at where we were.

  A mansion greeted us as Jack pulled up a large circular drive and I frowned. “The shoots here?” I yawned, desperately trying to wake myself up.

  The make-up artists would have a fit at me if I went in with bloodshot eyes, but they usually had some drops that cured it so I wasn’t too bothered.

  Jack didn’t say anything but pulled up in front of the double doors and exited the car. I never waited for him so I opened my door and climbed out.

  It was eerily quiet and I looked at Jack dubiously “Are you sure you have the right place. There’s nobody else here?” I said as I spun around and scanned the gardens.

  “Yeah” he said quietly and walked up to the doors.

  Shrugging I followed him and entered a huge entrance hall after him.

  I whistled through my teeth as I took a quick inspection. The place screamed money; from its marble floors to its grand staircases and massive dripping chandeliers.

  You could tell from a quick glance that the furniture was expensive and the décor was as opulent as the rest of the place.

  “Well if the shoots here, I hope people think it’s my house” I chuckled to myself.

  Jack scoffed and shook his head at me as a door opened at the end of th
e hall.

  I stood in shock as I stared at a face I hadn’t seen for a long time. “Hello Eve” he said and my jaw dropped.

  “Oh My God! Evan!!” I declared with a huge smile.

  You remember Evan? He was the guy I met when I spent the few weeks in Cornwall.

  He cocked his head and regarded me with an intimidating smile and all the hairs on the back of my neck prickled at the sight of him.

  He oozed contempt and malevolence and his eyes held a hatred that hadn’t been there two years ago.

  “Evan?” I asked warily as he started to walk towards me.

  I backed up a little, the sight of him was frightening and my brain was instinctively telling me to run.

  Jack stood behind me and I grabbed his forearm. “Jack. We need to get out of here” I whispered.

  He seized the top of my arms with both hands and I turned my head to look at him. “What are you doing?” I hissed but he shook his head.

  “You’re a clever girl E. Be bright” he smirked and I gasped. “Oh God Jack. What have you done?”

  He shrugged coolly as though he didn’t care. “Bills to pay E. Family to support. You know how it is” he said frankly and my stomach revolted at his heartless attitude.

  Evan had reached us by now and I pressed my back into Jack, he was the worst of the two evils.

  “What do you want Evan?”

  His eyebrows rose and he barked out a humourless laugh. “E…you know what I want” he sneered and I looked at him questioningly. “You want the film?”

  I was utterly confused. Evan was my friend and the same age as me, he wasn’t one of the men that came into my room and I couldn’t comprehend his involvement in the whole thing.

  “Of course I want the fucking film!” he spat in my face and I blinked rapidly against his fury.

  “I don’t understand?” I stuttered out.

  He looked at me like I was stupid.

  Which I obviously was.

  “My dad, you stupid bitch, the film is of my dad!”

  My eyes widened and my anger surfaced. “You must be so proud of him” I ridiculed.

  His fist cracked my cheekbone as it connected, and I bit my lip at the pain as I glared at him. “Your Dad tried to rape a thirteen year old girl” I snapped.

  His face came close to mine and the evil curl to his lips chilled my blood. “I wouldn’t have failed.”

  I shuddered against his malice and chose to ignore him as he perused my body with hungry eyes.

  “In fact, I might as well enjoy myself while you’re here” he smirked.

  I swallowed heavily and looked away from him as he grasped my chin harshly in his fingers. “Two choices’ E and you know what they are” he offered.

  I swung my eyes to his and smiled coldly. “You just shot yourself in the foot. You blew the fucking thing up with my home” I snarled at him.

  His eyes narrowed then he laughed loudly before he punched me again.

  I stumbled back and Jack caught me. “Evan, steady on mate” he said in my defence but the iciness in Evan’s eyes, saw Jack drop his hands away from me.

  “You want paying Jack?”

  “Yeah.” Jack conceded with a sigh and went to stand beside the front door.

  Evan yanked my hair and dragged me across the floor towards the room from where he emerged from and I dug my feet into the floor.

  Stupid really as it was gleaming marble and my action went in Evan’s favour, as my heels slipped along the ground.

  Kicking the door shut behind us, he pushed me onto a huge plush sofa and was on top of me before I knew what was happening, fumbling with my clothes and sinking his teeth into my bottom lip, demanding that I opened to him.

  I pushed at him with all I had, but he was too strong and his hands ripped my shirt off me whilst his teeth now sunk deeply into my neck.

  “Please Evan” I cried out but he wouldn’t relent and kept on at me, his hands now trying to remove my bra.

  He suddenly lifted off me and was flying across the room before I could blink.

  I stared wide eyed as he hit an antique table and snapped it in half, both him and the table landing in a heap on the floor.

  “Control yourself!” barked an older man and my heart stopped when I realised who it was.

  I quickly scrambled backwards and pushed myself against the arm of the sofa as he turned to look at me. “W…w..What the…fuck!” I stammered as I shook my head in disbelief.

  “Hello Eve” he said softly.

  My jaw trembled as each of my breaths became stunted. “You’re…you’re my….”

  Everything went black.

  Wasn’t oblivion wonderful?

  CHAPTER 47

  It was dark when I came to and I shot upright when everything came hurtling into my brain at 200Mph.

  I was on a large soft bed in a plush bedroom somewhere, my body clothed again but my shoes had been removed.

  “Welcome back” someone said from the corner of the room behind me.

  I turned rapidly to be met with a dark skinned man. He stood from a chair and walked towards me, the whites of his eyes glistened in the lamplight and I moved away from him the closer he got.

  “Don’t be afraid Eve. I won’t hurt you” he said gently and I eyed him cautiously.

  He settled himself lightly on the edge of the bed next to me and smiled. The tenderness in his eyes shocked me but I still regarded him with vigilance.

  He sighed heavily and looked towards the window. “All I want is the recording Eve, then you can go home.”

  I remained silent and I noticed the softness slip from his eyes slightly. “You’re making this really hard for yourself Eve. What does it matter to you if I have it? It’s not like it’s of any use to you really, is it?”

  “My…father?” I choked out.

  He turned to me then, his eyes full of kindness again and he smiled warmly. “Yeah. Bit of a shock eh?”

  I nodded faintly and sucked on my lips. “I don’t understand” I said quietly.

  He sighed and nodded “Didn’t expect you to really. It’s all a bit complicated but that’s your Dad’s story not mine Eve.”

  “But…but…he tried to kill me” I choked out, picturing my home in rubble.

  The man scowled faintly and shook his head. “No Eve. We knew no-one was home. It was just a warning.” He explained then chuckled low “You’d be no good to us dead, would you?” he added with humour.

  Yeah, real funny!

  “But, I’ve had it years and haven’t done anything with it so why now?” I asked him and he pursed his lips.

  “Well, I didn’t know you had it until your wonderful mother got in touch and said she had some footage that was worth a lot to me” his face darkened for a second before he carried on. “She doesn’t keep her promises, your mother, does she?”

  He scowled at me as though my Mom’s actions were directly linked to me.

  I shook my head at him. “But then again she did die so…” he shrugged and I looked at him in amazement. “Yeah, that doesn’t help. Selfish bitch!” I mocked sarcastically.

  His hand spanned the width of my throat tightly and I tried to gulp at the pain and shock but his grip was too tight. “Don’t fuck with me Eve. I can cause you some real pain and we wouldn’t want to ruin that pretty face, would we?” he spat in my face.

  I shook my head as much as I could and he released his hand. My own fingers came up to my neck to soothe away the soreness.

  He stood up and walked towards the door but turned to me before he went through it. “Think about it a bit Eve. I’ll be back later, but I’ll just let you know, this is your last chance to do the right thing” he said then narrowed his eyes on me and smirked “Your niece is a real cute thing isn’t she?”

  My eyes widened at his warning but he winked and left.

  Holy Shit. This was big trouble and I closed my eyes in distress.

  I knew what I had to do; I wouldn’t risk Evie or any of my family, so the ch
oice now became very easy.

  My life was spinning out of control rapidly. Everything was happening at the same time and my poor addled brain was struggling to cope with the thousands of thoughts that were spinning through it.

  The door opened again and my father stood in the frame, his face was difficult to read but his eyes were filled with something I didn’t want to accept.

  Love.

  I shook my head and refused to acknowledge him but he entered the room and quietly shut the door behind him.

  “E…”

  “Don’t call me that! Only friends and family call me E. You can call me Eve…or Miss Hudson would be more appropriate!” I said with as much contempt as I could muster.

  He hissed through his teeth and sighed at the same time. “Eve” he corrected “We need to talk.”

  I snorted. “You are about twenty years too late I’m afraid. I don’t wanna hear it. Just tell your boss I’ll get the damn film for him and then I never want to see you again.”

  “Please. Just let me explain” he tried but I turned away.

  “I met your mother twenty years ago….” He started but I covered my ears and closed my eyes as I started singing.

  Very adult E.

  His hands clasped mine and he pulled them away as he came close to my face. “Listen to me Eve.”

  I turned away from him but stopped singing and remained quiet as he sat beside me on the bed and continued to hold my hands.
