by James, Jax


  At least we were covered for the time being, as he worked on the lock, until finally he swung the door open and we walked into this dusty and musty environment. “I’m glad to see that it’s raining, because that will hamper their progress in finding us.” It was then that I noticed that his shirt was showing signs of blood seeping through the material. He saw me looking at him and then followed my gaze, until I looked at him with grave concern. “It’s nothing to worry about. I wasn’t exactly truthful when I said that there was nobody outside acting as a lookout.”

  “I don’t think that you should be standing, but then again you are barely standing as it is.” He was swaying back and forth on his feet, his face almost ashen and his legs holding themselves up by sheer will alone. “Come here and sit down and I’ll take a look at that.” It wasn’t like he could fight me, because it appeared that since the adrenaline rush had worn off that his strength began to wane. “You should have said something, and then we might have been able to get you something that would take care of that. I’ll try to find something in here, but don’t get your hopes up too high. If you had told me about this, we could have stopped at a pharmacy to grab some supplies.”

  “That’s precisely the reason why I didn’t tell you, because we couldn’t stop anywhere without somebody finding out. We had to go off the grid and that meant that I was just going to have to bite the bullet.” I wasn’t sure what I was dealing with, but the blood loss was enough to make him weak as a kitten. I’m surprised that I didn’t notice this before. I think that he was hiding it from me with his arm draped across his chest. The only reason why I saw it now was because he was too busy with concentrating on breaking the lock to try to hide this from me any longer.

  Looking around, I was able to verify that this place had to be around for a very long time, as the furniture was early 19th century. I knew this because when I was in college, I had spent the summer selling antiques. The place was deserted, but that didn’t stop me from going into what was left of the kitchen to see what I could find. I was actually amazed to see that the water was still running, but you had to use a makeshift hand pump to get anything out of it. There was no electricity, which meant that I had to use the light from my cell phone to find my way around.

  It still amazed me that I could actually use a flashlight app on my telephone, but with technological advances these days, almost anything was possible. “AHHHHH.” I heard a long mournful moan and went out to find that he was trying himself to administer to the wound.

  “I wasn’t gone that long. Did you think that I went out the back door and took off? Now that I had given it some thought, I probably could’ve done exactly that, but for some reason that’s beyond me, I stayed to take care of him. I just couldn’t bring myself to leave him in this condition. I don’t think that was the only reason, but it was the reason that I was using to justify sticking around. In the back of my mind, something told me that my survival was depended on him protecting me.

  “I…wasn’t sure…and I..I..I…” His words trailed off, as he passed out from either pain or sheer exhaustion. This allowed me to open up his shirt and touch his well defined pectorals and sighing deeply at the very thought of what we had done last night. Pulling myself out of my fantasy world, I used a couple of tea towels as makeshift bandages, before wrapping them tightly with duct tape that I found underneath the kitchen counter. I would’ve liked to disinfect the wound with some alcohol, but so far I couldn’t find any.

  Leaving him there, I made a quick sweep of the entire place, eventually coming to the bathroom upstairs where I found some leftover medical alcohol in the medicine cabinet. There wasn’t much left, but maybe it was enough to ward off infection. I was relatively sure that it wasn’t a gunshot wound, but appeared to be more of a knife wound that went in about three or 4 inches. I’ve had my fair share of first aid training, but I felt vastly under equipped to deal with something like this. It didn’t matter since I was the only person out here and he would probably die without my help.

  Going back downstairs, I almost tripped on a broken board, narrowly falling head over heels onto the floor below. As it was, I was able to get my balance back by holding onto the wall and the railing. This place was falling apart and you could see pieces of the ceiling cracked and showing its wear. The paint on the wall was peeling and behind it you could see that there was old wallpaper that was left behind a very long time ago. I don’t know when I last saw yellow daisies, but it had to be in my grandmother’s house when I was just a little girl.

  “Kill her…why can’t I kill her. Look out…get down…incoming.” The fever that he had was causing him to hallucinate and I found him thrashing on the chair that he was in. All I could do was stand there and wait for him to calm down, before pulling back the duct tape and pouring the alcohol onto the wound. His body began to gyrate and then thrust up and down like he was having some sort of seizure. His eyes suddenly opened and he grabbed my face with two hands. “You’ve always been the one that I loved and I don’t know what I would do without you. Please don’t leave me, because I don’t know what I’ll do.”

  He kissed me, but it was rushed and a little chaotic, although it did remind me of his lips on top of mine last night. I found myself getting lost in his eyes and the feel of his hands moving steadily down until they were cupping my ass through my dress. He raised it and I felt his strong masculine hands touching my naked backside, while at the same time he was tongue fucking my mouth. I could’ve easily tried to pull away, but I didn’t want to. I had wanted to do this again from the moment that we finished and was the reason why I was going into the bathroom to join him.

  “I don’t know what you’re seeing right now, but I don’t really care.” He was delusional and it was a good bet that he wasn’t even seeing me but somebody else. All I knew was that his hands were igniting a blaze between my legs that couldn’t be put out without his manly hose to do it. I could see it flexing and moving inside his pants and I had every intention of pulling it out and seeing it up close and personal.

  Rationally speaking, I shouldn’t have been even doing this, but I just couldn’t help myself. It brought to mind the saying that the heart wants what it wants and I suppose that was very poignant in its own way. I didn’t want him to stop what was going on, so I figured that the best way to continue this was to reach out and touch him.

  “Yes, I want you…I need you…Oh my fuck…you’re amazing.” He followed that up with his tongue touching my neck and causing me to gasp and grab onto him even tighter with my hand. “Your lips are made for sin and I don’t think I’ve met another woman that can do what you can do.” Again, I’m not sure if he was actually talking to me or somebody from his past, but either way I was going to use it to feed his lust for me.

  “I want you too…and I can’t stop feeling this way.” I had him out of his pants and noticed right away that he wasn’t wearing any underwear. Apparently he didn’t have enough time to throw some on and that would’ve only kept me away from the prize possession that he now held in front of my eyes. Slipping slowly down onto my knees, I was now in the perfect position to look up at his glazed over expression and feel his hardness tapping against my lips. We may have been running for our lives, but that didn’t stop us from grabbing onto what ever happiness that we could find. “I can’t get enough of you and I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t go a few minutes without wanting you.”

  I curled my fingers around the base and pulled up until it showed the product of his desire appearing at the tip. I didn’t stop myself, licking it off and then watching as more came. This made me hungry for what he had to offer and I craved the feeling of his cock lying on my tongue. While I put his cock into my mouth, I also had his balls in the palm of my hands, warming them and giving them a very healthy massage.

  He was lying back with his eyes closed, his body giving in to his baser instincts with this droplet of sweat just appearing on his chest. I worked him over, but I was careful not to hurt him,
because I didn’t want him to start bleeding again. “I don’t know what it is about you, but you’re the only woman that has ever known me. I hide my true self from everybody else, but with you I am an open book.” This was definitely not me he was talking to and I should’ve felt guilty for using a past love to seduce him, but I didn’t. I think it has something to do with the fact that he had betrayed me and this was my way of exacting some sort of revenge. It wasn’t just that I was getting my pound of flesh, but it was more to do with the fact that I wanted him in the worst way possible.

  “I’ve never met a man like you before and I don’t think I will meet another one again.” I really didn’t know this man and mostly I got all my information on him from emails on the Internet. That wasn’t even him and he had used all that information to make me fall for him. I didn’t believe that I could be that in love with this man, but my feelings were very clear. “I hope that you don’t hurt me like the others, because I don’t know how much more my heart can take.”

  Pulling away from him, I saw that he was towering in front of my eyes, pointing towards the ceiling and making it almost impossible for me to not take it for a ride. I was very careful and gentle, as I stood up and raised my dress, holding it precariously, as I moved into place. I looked in his face and saw that he was half out of it, but his cock was more than a wake and ready for whatever I gave it.

  Taking a hold of him, I felt it pulsate in my hand, before giving out one lone spurt that hit the lips of wet pussy. I waited to see if he was too far gone to stop, but was surprised by the way that he was able to stop himself after that one squirt. I didn’t want to press the issue, but I was going to have him again, even if it meant that I had to stand here and wait until he was able to hold himself off.

  “I can’t wait any longer and I need you inside me.” Opening up my blouse, I pressed his head in between my cleavage, as I slowly sank down one inch at a time. It was exquisite torture and in this way I could set the pace and determine just how deeply he went on each stroke. “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say to that, so I answered it with a kiss, as I continually slammed my body down on top of his lap. The sound of dirty and nasty sex was the only thing that we could hear, except of course for the moans that were now escaping our mouths. My juices were streaming down his shaft, soaking his balls and the very seat that was underneath him.

  “Yes, give me that pussy…fuck…sooo hot.” It felt like I was on a runaway bronco, as we ground and pounded against each other, until I was flailing my arms and legs in the air with my nails raking down his chest. I was careful not to leave any permanent marks and I was even more careful not to touch the very place that I had covered with the towels.

  He was sweating profusely, but that could’ve been from either the exertion of what we were doing or the infection trying to break. My mind was a whirl wind of sexual delights and I suddenly found myself stopping and trembling underneath his gaze. I had my hands on his shoulders and it was a foregone conclusion that he was going to meet his end very soon.

  I think we may have came at the same time, as I bit into his shoulder and let my body take me over with the orgasm that was hitting me like a ton of bricks. Lying against him, I could hear his breathing getting labored and could see that his chest was rising and falling with each breath. I moved my hand through his hair, letting myself live in this moment and not even thinking about what was going on outside of these doors.

  Chapter Eight

  “Get up…we’ve got company.” My eyes opened and I look to see that Jason was now on the verge of panic. The dangerous man had returned and I was no longer seeing his compassionate side.

  “I think you might be hallucinating. There’s no way that they could find us out here in the middle of nowhere.”

  “I don’t know how they did, but they did.” I saw something click in his head and then he came over to me “Is there anything that you have on you right now that you did when you were trying to help the Japanese lady?” I wasn’t wearing the same thing as I was that time, but then again I did have my purse. That had been with me from the very beginning and was something that I would never leave home without.

  “The only thing I have on me that I had on that street is my purse.” He grabbed it off of the floor, opening it and rummaging through it trying to find something that would explain how they found us. “I don’t know what you’re looking for, but that has never been out of my sight. I keep a careful eye on that, because I don’t want anybody getting a hold of my credit cards and trying to take my identity.”

  “It doesn’t matter that you had it on you the entire time, only that it was near the person that was searching the Japanese lady. We all have a unique skill set of sleight of hand and it wouldn’t take all that much to put a tracking device onto your purse. I was so caught up in all of this that I didn’t take that into account that might be what gets us caught.” He finally showed me a small silver circle, which she summarily put it down on to the ground and stepped on it with his foot. “We won’t have to worry about that anymore, but it might already be too late.”

  Something smashed against the house, coming through the window and landing on the floor with a terrible crash. It was a glass bottle filled with liquor and lit at the top with a fuse. I watched horrified as the flame that the alcohol had now produced was now spreading across the floor. It immediately engulfed the curtains and whatever else it came in contact with. Two more were heard coming through other windows and they were essentially leaving us here to burn to death.

  “What do we do, Jason?” I felt lucky that I didn’t strip down to nothing when I had sex with him, because getting into my clothes was the least of my worries.

  “I don’t know. They must think that this approach is better than to come at us with a frontal assault. They know my reputation and doing this is probably better than the alternative. I could easily dispatch at least three guys at a time, although they probably think that I can do a whole lot more than that. My legendary status is a little exaggerated, but is the only thing that is stopping them from coming in with guns a blazing.”

  “Come out…come out…wherever you are. Jason, we just want the girl and if you send her out, we will forget this blatant betrayal.” Even I knew that they were lying through their teeth, because there was no way that they were going to allow Jason to live after all of this. He hadn’t done his job and had made more of this than it had to be, so they were going to want to make an example out of him to the rest. “You know that it didn’t have to be like this, but now you have taken it out of my hands. You could've easily told us that you couldn’t do it and we would’ve sent somebody else to take your place. Unfortunately, you thought that you had to ride to her rescue and that’s going to cost you. However, if you were to see fit to bring her out here, I’m sure that we could let bygones be bygones.”

  “That’s Devlin. He’s in charge of this mission. He chose everybody on his team including me, although I bet that he’s regretting that decision now. It’s too bad that it had to be him, because he’s almost as good as I am. I don’t say that lightly either. Very few people can match my skills, but he’s definitely a rare breed.”

  “I don’t care if he can shoot an apple from 500 yards and the only thing that does matter to me is getting out of here. Do whatever you can to grab their attention and I might be able to go out there and get to the minivan.” I couldn’t believe that I was actually proposing such a thing. My hands were shaking and my stomach was full of butterflies.

  “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I think that we have to try to lure them in here. With the smoke and the flames, I can use that to mask my approach and they probably wouldn’t see me coming.” I heard footsteps on the porch, and it appeared that they weren’t going to wait until the fire did the job for them. “It sounds to me like we already have company. Why don’t we give them a welcome that they’ll never forget.” He dragged me into the next room, where I saw him pull the stove from the wall, grimacing with
the pain that was radiating towards the wound in his stomach.

  Taking out a pocket knife, he cut into the propane line, which immediately made this hissing sound and gave off this sickly sweet stench. It suddenly dawned on me what he was trying to do, but it would only work if we were out of the building.

  The front door crashed open, as we went into a stairwell leading to the basement. At the same time, he was flicking his lighter and tossing it behind him. He gave me a push that sent me spiraling down the stairs and then I saw Jason go flying over top of me, as the upstairs of this house exploded.

  He rolled to a stop, struggled to his feet and pulled me to mine and then made a beeline for the cellar stairs leading to the outside.

  I was terrified beyond words, but I didn’t have the time to dwell on it. Glancing over my shoulder, I could see that the fire was now spreading into the basement and I could hear the anguished cries of those that had been caught in the blaze upstairs.

  Jason was thinking on the fly, grabbing onto a shotgun that had seen better days, pulling the trigger and sending a blast into the door in front of us. It blew a hole the size of the basketball where the lock would’ve been and he pushed out into the open to see that the shotgun blast had not only gave us an opening to the outside, but it had also put one of the bad guys down onto the ground.

  We didn’t even stop, running for the cover of the trees, until we saw pieces of the bark beside our head begin to chip away. Those were bullets meant to kill us. Apparently they didn’t appreciate the explosion that killed some of their team.

  “Jason that was pretty clever, but you didn’t really believe that was going to stop us. This woman has blinded you and we all know that having feelings for a woman is a weakness that we can’t afford. We’re going to hunt you down and kill you both. It’s inevitable. You may as well just stay where you’re at and we’ll get to you when we can.”
