Honeymoon from Hell Part I (2 page)

“
Ow!” Jason hissed. “What the hell was that for?” he demanded.

Haley sighed heavily as she released the lock of hair she’d just yanked and gently rubbed the sore spot she’d created.

“
How can you say that I don’t love you?”

“
Easily!” he snapped, moving away from her and sitting back on his haunches.

Haley quickly got to her knees and glared up at him. Well, as best as she could since she’d taken her glasses off. She poked him in the chest, hard.

“
Listen to me, buddy! I am head over heels in love with you and if you think that you’re going to pull another snit and get out of marrying me then you’re crazy!”

He shifted closer. “I’m pulling another snit?” he practically roared. “I’m not the one who started all of this bullshit!” He grabbed her by the back of her neck and held her as he leaned down closer. “But I can damn well promise that I’m going to be the one to fix it.”

“
What the hell does that mean?” she asked, mimicking his hold on her as she drew him closer.

“
It means, my little grasshopper,” he said, releasing her neck abruptly so that he could reach down and grab her by the back of her thighs. With a quick flick of his wrists he sent her falling back onto the bed.

Before she could scramble away he was kneeling between her legs with his still painfully hard erection in hand and running it between her pouty wet lips the way he knew drove her crazy. She squirmed against him almost desperately.

“
It means that I’m not taking a chance on you changing your mind. You’re marrying me this weekend and that’s final!” he snarled, licking his lips as Haley rubbed her wet pussy over the underside of his cock.

Her answering smile stole his breath away. She looked so damn beautiful. He knew he’d fucked up his proposal, but that didn’t really faze him since he had a tendency to fuck this kind of thing up. Besides, he wasn’t going to ask her to marry him. That would have been fucking stupid since it would have given her a chance to say no. She was marrying him no matter what. It really was the only way to keep her safe, he decided as she rolled her hips and took the tip of his cock inside of her.

“
Are you going to make love to me, or do I have to break out the fists of fury?” she asked, moaning.

He leaned over and covered her body with his. “Definitely going to make love to you,” he said against her neck as he rolled his hips, feeding her his cock. He took her mouth in a hungry kiss, tangling his tongue with hers as he gently thrust inside her, inch by inch. She was still so damn tight and felt so fucking good wrapped around him.

“
I...I...oh God!” Haley moaned loudly.

“
What do you want, baby?” Jason asked, pulling his cock out almost all the way before sliding back in, slowly. He groaned at the sensation of a thousand hot wet little tongues licking his cock.

“
I love you!” she cried out as he ground himself against her. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder as he continued to grind himself against her. “I love you, too,” he said, turning his head to look down at her. “More than anything.”

She fisted his hair and yanked his mouth down to hers. He reached between them and slid his thumb between her slit and over her swollen clit. Haley cried out into his mouth as he quickened his pace and rubbed the nub harder and faster.

“
Oh fuck,”
he ground out as she clamped down tightly around him and squeezed unmercifully, leaving him gasping for breath and pounding into her without any finesse or reason. He was barely aware of her nails digging into his ass or her little blunt teeth biting into his shoulder as she screamed her release. His release came on him so damn hard and fast that he couldn’t hold back his roar of ecstasy as Haley squeezed him dry.

He collapsed against her, careful to keep most of his weight off her and to the side. He pressed a kiss to her damp shoulder.

“
Just so you know,” she said, panting just as hard as he was, “the next time you try to leave me. I’m going to kick your ass.”

Jason had to bury his face against her shoulder to stop himself from laughing out loud. She was just so damn cute.

“
Stop laughing at me! I’m a threat, damn it!”

Jason pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.

“
No, you’re my sweet little grasshopper.”

Chapter 1

Oh, she’d played him well, he thought with a pleased smile as he leaned down and kissed her cheek, which promptly earned him a swat and a whimper.

“
Please…
just let me die
…” she muttered pathetically as she rolled over onto her side with a whimper and curled up into a ball, letting him know that his work was finally done.

“
Shhh, just go to sleep, sweetheart,” he murmured soothingly as he tucked her in.

“
I would if you kept that insanely large cock between your legs to yourself!”

“
Aw, but he likes you,” he said, chuckling as he watched her reach back and swat at him…
and miss
.

“
I hate him!”

“
You fucking adore him,” he said, smiling as he fixed the covers on her now that she’d stopped trying to beat the shit out of him.

“
Hate,” she grumbled as she reached up, grabbed her pillow and yanked it over her head in an attempt to block him out.

For several minutes he simply sat there, making sure that she was asleep. When he heard her softly snore, he carefully got off the bed, grabbed his cellphone and backed up until he reached the door where he stood for another minute, watching her.

God, she was so beautiful, so kind, funny and sweet and obviously temporarily insane. It was something that he was just going to have to take advantage of before she came to her senses and realized that she could easily do so much better than him.

*-*-*-*

“
Good morning, my little grasshopper,” Jason said, sounding really cheerful for someone who’d stayed up all night showing her new and interesting ways to scream his name.

“
What’s going on?” she asked, rubbing her hands down her face as she shifted in her seat and-

“
Why are we in a car?” she asked, dropping her hands in her lap as she looked out her window, turning her head to watch as a large green blob rushed past them.

“
Here,” he said, pressing her glasses in her hand.

Without looking away from all the colorful blobs rushing past her window, she quickly unfolded her glasses and put them on. “Where are we going?” she asked, pushing her glasses back up her nose as she watched what she now realized were highway signs rushing past them.

“
To run an errand,” he said, smiling as he reached over and took her hand in his.

“
And you need to break the laws of physics in order to do it?” she asked, swallowing nervously as she watched that little hand on the speedometer move past ninety miles per hour.

“
Absolutely,” he said with that sexy smile that she loved so much. It had the power to momentarily distract her and had her licking her suddenly dry lips.

That is until she saw the large green sign announcing that they were only fifty miles from the New Hampshire border. Her stomach coiled with dread as she looked at Jason only to find him grinning like he’d just won the lottery.

She considered asking him if he was kidnapping her again, but with a slight shake of her head, she settled back more comfortably in her seat and decided to wait and see where he was going with this.

*-*-*-*

“
Please tell me that’s not City Hall,” Haley said, swallowing nervously as she pushed her glasses back up her cute little nose.

Jason sighed heavily as he shut the truck off and pocketed the keys. “I would, but I don’t think lying is really the best way to start a marriage.”

“
M-marriage? What the hell are you talking about?” she demanded, sounding a tad hysterical as he opened his door.

He paused with the door halfway open as he considered her. What he saw had him releasing a long-suffering sigh and reaching for her. With a startled gasp, she tried to back up against her car door and move out of his reach, but it was really a sad attempt. In seconds, he had her out of the truck and thrown over his shoulder.

“
Jason, maybe we should talk about this,” she said, gripping the back of his shirt tightly as he carried her towards City Hall.

“
There’s nothing to talk about,” he said, opening the door and holding it for a large group of old women.

“
There really is!”

“
And why is that?” he asked around a yawn.

“
Because you’re kidnapping me again!” she snapped, for some reason sounding kind of angry.

“
I’m not kidnapping you,” he felt obligated to point out.

“
Then what would you call it?” she demanded, wiggling in his arms.

“
We’re getting married,” he said, stepping in line for the City Clerk’s window.

There was a brief moment of silence before she said, “Please tell me that you’re kidding.”

“
I would never joke around about getting married, my little grasshopper. Bradfords take this shit seriously.”

“
Oh my God! I can’t marry you like this!” she shrieked, sounding a bit hysterical and drawing the attention of the group of women standing off to the right, watching them warily.

“
You’re not going to marry me?” he asked hollowly, making sure to let his bottom lip quiver just enough for the benefit of their audience.

“
I just think that maybe we should think about-”

“
You were just using me?”

“
What? No! I wasn’t using you! I-”

“
You had your dirty, filthy way with me and now, what? You’re done with me? Just like that? Like I was nothing but a whore?”

*-*-*-*

“
No! That’s not how-”

“
After the dirty, disgusting things that you made me do, you’re not going to marry me?” he demanded, sounding outraged.

“
That’s not what I-” she started to say, but the bastard wouldn’t let her finish a sentence!

He also refused to let her go. With a huff, she gripped the back of his jeans and pushed herself up to tell him to let her go when she saw the group of women watching them, shaking their heads in disgust.

“
You promised that you’d marry me!” he said, sounding a bit hysterical.

“
I-”

“
What am I supposed to tell my mother?”

“
Well, I-”

“
What
?”

“
If you could just calm down, I’m sure that we could discuss this like two rational-”

“
How could you use me like that?
How
?”

Sighing, she released her hold on his jeans and let herself drop against his back, because clearly there was no talking to this man. When he realized that they couldn’t get married today, he’d calm down and start acting like the rational man that she loved.

Okay, so he’d hopefully just turn back into the man that she loved since the whole rational part was kind of hopeless. He was a Bradford after all. Any minute now this little fiasco would be over and they could go home, get some rest, have something to eat and discuss this.

“
Next,” the City Clerk said, letting her know that this whole thing was almost over.

Chapter 2

“
How,” Haley started to ask only to pause so that she could take a deep breath and count to ten before she continued, “did you get your hands on my birth certificate?”

“
I have my resources,” he murmured absently, glancing down at his watch as he carried her into the empty courtroom.

She sighed heavily against his back. “Grandma gave it to you, didn’t she?”

“
She may have helped a little,” he admitted, wondering what was taking so long.

“
Maybe we should go home and talk about this?” she calmly suggested.

There was nothing to talk about, but since it would kill some time until his plan could come together, it sounded like a good idea. “We can talk here,” he pointed out, deciding that putting her down on her feet probably wasn’t a good idea. At least, not until after he’d heard what she had to say.

He felt her sigh against his back again just as he’d registered the feel of her nibble little fingers toying with one of his belt loops. “I can’t marry you today.”

“
Well, this marriage license says otherwise,” he said, absently running his hand over the back of her legs as he looked around the courtroom, making note of all the possible exits.

There were too many of them.

“
You blackmailed me into signing that!”

He shrugged, smiling when she released a little grunt as the move jostled her a bit. “I did what I had to do,” he said with absolutely no shame as he walked over to the first bank of windows and peered out the large window overlooking the front lawn, watching for any signs of a taxi or public transportation that could aide his little grasshopper in her escape if he fucked this up.

“
You wouldn’t let me use the bathroom until I signed it!” she said, grabbing hold of the back of his pants as she tried to push herself up only to give up a few seconds later and return to toying with his belt loop with an annoyed little sigh.

“
You have no one to blame but yourself for that one. No one told you to drink all that water and soda,” he absently pointed out as his eyes narrowed to slits on the taxi parking in front of the courthouse.

“
Are you kidding me? You’ve been pushing liquid on me since the moment that I woke up!”
