Incineration (Heart of Stone) (40 page)

I slid on my knees in front of him “Baby No!” I expressed,
my heart breaking for him “Yes Ava. That club and the staff are my
responsibility. I was told what he was up to and if I had took it more
seriously and ended it…” he swallowed heavily, his eyes were dull and the life
in them had burnt out. “I finished him personally; slowly and as fucking
painfully as possible” he divulged, the anger and memory of it bringing back
the rage and he slammed his fist forcefully on the table

“Mason! Stop!” he looked away from me, not wanting me to see
the disgust and self-loathing in him “Mason, listen to me” he wouldn’t look at
me so I placed my hands on his face and turned him to look at me “Did you sell
her coke?” I asked and he sat staring at me “Answer me! Did you sell her the
coke?” I demanded again “Well no but…” he started but I cut him off “Did you
rape her?” I asked, my voice rising with each question “No” he breathed as his
eyes bore into my soul “Did you tell Alex to strangle her?” he shook his head
this time “Did you know what was happening as he was doing it?” I asked more
quietly “No” he choked out and I knelt up and pulled him close, embracing him
to me “It wasn’t your fault Mason. Does your friend blame you?” I asked warily
and he shook his head “No” he whispered and I tipped his head back to look at
me “Then you shouldn’t. You took revenge for his parents, and believe me Mason
when I say this. Taking revenge for someone’s death
does
help to heal
the guilt, pain and anger that are trapped inside, and you did that for her
parents and for the girl, Baby” he smiled sadly and cupped my face “Thank you”
he whispered and I leant forward, brushing my lips over his in a tender kiss
that showed him just how much I loved him.

He sighed heavily and rested his forehead against mine “I
love you Baby” he said softly “And me, you”

He eventually pulled back and looked back at Sam “So what
does the fucker who’s after Ava have to do with Alex?” he questioned and Sam
looked at me “Sit back down Ava” he said and I frowned but sat back down on the
sofa and Sam sat opposite, his forearms resting on his thighs as he leant
towards us “Five months before you finished him, Alex was reunited with a
brother he didn’t know he had. They shared the same father, who apparently
hadn’t known about him and after his mother had him she gave him up for adoption.
However things didn’t go great for him and he ended up being fostered
throughout his life until he was 18” I stiffened at the words, my heart was
beating loudly in my chest and Mason frowned “So what has this got to do with
Ava?” he asked, puzzled.

Sam sighed and slapped the file on the table “Alex’s brother
is Lee Benedict” he said to me.

My eyes widened and I stood up “Holy Fuck” I gasped. Mason
turned to me “Ava?” I paced over to the wall and leaning on it, took a few deep
breaths and then turned to Mason “Lee was the lad that lived in the foster
house. The one who violently raped me every night for six months until I ran
away” Masons eyebrows hit his hairline “Jesus Christ” he hissed “Yep” said Sam
“and it looks like the bloke wants revenge for his brother’s death and what
better an opportunity for him than with Ava, the woman you love and the girl he
spent part of his life cruelly tormenting and torturing”

Mason walked over to me and pulled me into his arms “We’ll
get him Ava, I promise” he said into my hair “I’ve got people looking for him”
Sam said and I smiled at him “Thank you Sam” I said sincerely and he smiled “No
problem Ava, I’ll just be glad when we get the bastard” he said as he walked
towards the door.

“Right I’m off to watch Ava’s school rendition of ‘The Wizard
of Oz’ ” he winked and my eyes widened and my jaw dropped “Where the hell did
you get that?” I asked gobsmacked. He laughed loudly “Hey, you gave me
permission…remember?” he laughed again as I picked up a scatter cushion and
threw it at him “You dare show that to Mason and I will never speak to you
again” I snarled. He laughed wickedly

“What part did you play Baby?” Mason chuckled and Sam
snorted “Isn’t it obvious Mase?” he chuckled and I scowled at him “The wicked
witch” he howled as he shot through the door “You bastard” I shouted after him
as Mason laughed and picked me up, slung me over his shoulder and carried me
upstairs “Come and show me just how fucking wicked you are baby” he said,
giving me his Sex God smile.

The next morning Mason woke me early with a tray of coffee,
freshly squeezed juice, toast and croissants. I shuffled back against the
headboard “Wow, what have I done to deserve this?” I asked, yawning “Because I
love you and you love me” he said softly, stretching out beside me.

Something seemed different about this morning, the twinkle
and life in his eyes had dulled and his shoulders seemed tenser.

I kissed him and then took a gulp of coffee, shuddering at
the taste, Mason wasn’t kidding when he told me he couldn’t make it as well as
me but I smiled appreciatively. He chuckled “You don’t have to pretend it’s
good coffee Ava” he climbed off the bed and walked towards the bathroom,
stripping out of his jogging bottoms and shorts as he went. I drooled, and not
from the smell of the breakfast

 “You have a mighty fine ass Mr Fox” I groaned “Hurry up and
eat your breakfast Miss Stone, I have a surprise for you” he shouted as he
switched on the shower “Oh?” I shouted around a mouthful of buttery croissant
“Uh huh” he mumbled and I jumped up from the bed and stood in the bathroom
doorway “Tell me” I said excitedly.

He shook his head slowly, a twinkle lit his eyes and I
strolled towards him slowly “Mason” I purred as I placed my hands on his chest,
and my eyes strolled there too. God, he was so hot! I licked my lips and saw
his cock twitch to life. I trailed a finger across to his nipple and circled it
gently, it puckered under my touch “Tell me Baby” I pouted, looking up at him
through my eyelashes “Ava, don’t be naughty” he hissed as my tongue swept
across the other nipple and my hand slid down to grasp his erection. I stroked
my finger along the length of him and swirled it over the head as I bit gently
on his nipple “
Jesus
” he groaned and my mouth planted little kisses over
his pecs, down his strong defined abdomen and through his man trail.

I dropped to my knees and I hovered my tongue right over his
slit and looked up at him “Tell me” I teased and he groaned “No” he bit his
bottom lip as though he was fighting with himself over his answer.

My hands snaked around and cupped his ass as I licked the
length of him and I looked at him again “No” he grimaced and I took him full in
my mouth and slid down slowly, squeezing his buttocks as I buried him in my hot
mouth.

He hissed and his hands seized my hair, tugging gently as I sucked
him feverishly. I felt him harden slightly in my mouth and I pulled back, stood
up and strolled towards the bedroom “Ava?” he moaned and I shrugged
nonchalantly “You wouldn’t tell me” I said candidly, swaying my hips as I
walked away, hiding the amusement on my face from him.

His arms circled my waist and he picked me up and threw me
on the bed “Oh no you don’t Mr Fox” I giggled, trying to wriggle out from under
him “Oh yes Miss Stone” he chuckled back and straddled me, pinning me to the
bed under him “Mason” I laughed as his fingers slipped under my vest and traced
up my sides.

I was laughing hard, squirming and writhing under him as he
tickled me torturously “Mason!” I cried, snorting and crying with laughter as
he lifted slightly and flipped me over so I was facing upwards.

 His eyes were so intense that they stopped my laughter
dead, they were nearly black and he was breathing heavily. We stayed still;
both penetrating each other’s eyes as we pulled in heavy breaths.

 His lips crashed down on mine, fiercely kissing me, devouring
my tongue with his mouth as his hands scrambled at my shorts, desperately
trying to get them off as his mouth was still on mine. As soon as he got them
off one leg he thrust into me immediately and we both groaned loudly. He
pounded into me fast and hard and within seconds we were both climaxing
powerfully and noisily, clung to each other’s sweaty bodies in a feverish,
vehement passion
“AVA”
he yelled as he pumped his seed into me, panting
rapidly and jerking violently.

“Jesus where did that come from?” I breathed heavily as he
rested his forehead against mine and kissed my nose before he jumped from the
bed and disappeared into the bathroom “Hey” I shouted and he popped his head
around the door frame “You still didn’t tell me” I glowered “I know” he grinned
and winked before I heard him enter the shower “Pig” I mumbled to myself but
smiled happily.

Mason huddled me into Sam’s’ car, still refusing to tell me
what the surprise was and when we pulled into the airport I frowned “Mason?” he
grinned at me but didn’t say anything “But we can’t be going away, I haven’t
brought any clothes” I reasoned and the corner of his lips curled “Don’t worry
Ava, you won’t be needing clothes” he growled playfully and Sam laughed. I
glowered at him “Will you tell me where we are going?” I demanded and he kissed
me quickly “Nope” he said as he exited the car and came round to my door,
opening and holding his hand out to me. I grasped it and followed him into the
airport.

He went straight over to a desk and spoke quietly to a woman
who smiled widely and I must say flirtatiously at him “Mr Fox, of course. If
you would just like to follow this man he’ll escort you through departure and
onto the tarmac Sir” She said, a smile plastered on her face.

Mason swiftly turned to me, grabbed my hand and pulled me
along behind him as we followed the man through a series of gates, desks and
doors.

We eventually exited on to a small runway and towards a
small plane. Mason practically ran up the steps in excitement and I gasped as
we entered the aircraft. It was plush, luxurious and quite spacious. A small
white leather sofa, glass coffee table and drinks cabinet adorned one side
while a huge flat screen TV was bracketed to the wall. To the other side of the
plane a small dining table stood and it was laden with an assortment of breads,
meats, cheeses and fruits

“Wow” I said simply and Mason pulled me further in “We have
to strap in for take-off Baby, then we can move about” he smiled and settled me
into a luxury aircraft seat, he crouched in front of me and buckled me in,
kissing me gently but the sadness in his eyes squeezed my heart.

He seated himself in the other one “Good morning” A tall red
haired woman in a simple grey suit smiled “I’m Brooke and I’m your hostess for
your flight. We will be taking off in a few moments and I see you’re already
strapped in” she pursed her lips and her eyes flicked to Mason as she said
‘Strapped’ and I bit my bottom lip as she went through the usual health and
safety spiel and soon we were heading down the runway and soaring high.

Brooke came back over to us and bent to undo our seatbelts
which I found quite strange as we were able to do it ourselves until she bent
to undo Masons and I understood her game plan. Mason raised his eyebrows at me
in amusement as she flicked his clip and I glowered at him

 “Thank you for undoing our belts Brooke, Mason and I
struggle to press the undo button” I said sweetly and Mason sucked in his lips
and stifled a giggle. Brooke looked at me oddly then turned back round to Mason
“Can I get you anything Mr Fox?” she purred and I clicked my tongue noisily
“Yes, we’ll have some champagne and some fruit I think please Brooke” he
grinned happily at her and I was sure I had steam coming out of my ears “Of
course Mr Fox” she hummed with a nod of her head.

She disappeared into a back room and I glared at Mason “Of
course Mr Fox” I mimicked, fluttering my eyelashes overdramatically “Awww Baby,
are you jealous?” he smirked, but I caught a quick glint of anger in his eye.

“Does she even realise I’m here?” I whispered to him as she
made her way over to us with a large tray. He chuckled “I don’t care if she
does or doesn’t.
I know
you’re here because my dicks hard like it always
is when you’re close” he said huskily and I squirmed in my seat.

“Here you are Mr Fox, would you like me to pour?” she tipped
her head slightly, battered her eyelashes and stuck her hip out gently. Well
that was it; I sniggered at her flirtatious action and looked out of the window
biting my lip to stop the full on laugh that was threatening to erupt from me

“Champagne Miss Stone?” Mason asked, and from his tone I knew
he was hiding his own snicker “Lovely Mr Fox” I smiled and fluttered my
eyelashes at him and his shoulders tipped and he looked down at the floor.

“I would absolutely adore a taste of your plums Brooke” I
hummed and Mason snorted, his shoulders now jigging about as he tried to busy
himself tying his shoelace.

Brooke gave me a questioning look and I smiled and pointed
to the fruit on the tray “Oh Yes Miss, of course” she smiled “Would you like
anything with them?” she asked as she sliced a plum onto a little plate “How
about some of your delicious cream Brooke” I grinned.

Mason shot out of his chair and headed towards a little door
at the back of the plane “Bathroom” he stammered and as the door shut, I could
hear his loud laughter.

Brooke looked at the door then me wide eyed “Oh you’ll have
to excuse him Brooke, he gets very nervous on plane journeys but his nerves
come out in fits of laughter” I informed her with a serious face “Oh dear” she
sighed sympathetically and I nodded and gave her a sad look.

The bathroom door opened and Mason stepped out “Would you
like anything else Miss?” Brooke asked and I grinned wickedly “Well…I would
really like to squeeze your peaches”

 Mason spun on his heel and disappeared back into the
bathroom as another bout of laughter erupted “Just to see if they’re ripe” I
told her after and she smiled happily and passed one to me
