“What are you talking about?” She asked.

“You know what I am talking about, I was swarmed by reporters out there, Riley you are so lucky we’re in public..”

“You wouldn’t touch her.” Jackson interrupted, pulling Riley behind him.

Sam stepped up then, but the bell rang that signaled that dinner was ready. All four of them gave him one last hateful look before they started walking to the dining area. Just like they always did they went and sat at the table with their parents, luckily the tables seated six so there was no room for anybody else at their table.

The rest of the time there was uneventful and after everybody ate they only stayed a couple more hours, just mingling and making a good impression. Riley and Mandy took off their heels as soon as they got into the limo.

“My feet are killing me.” Riley complained.

“Come here.” Jackson said as he pulled her legs up on his

    Jackson stepped out of the shower and went to the toilet, his face going pale as he saw that it was rolled up to the base of his shaft, nothing beyond that. ‘Shit.’ He thought to himself as he pulled the broken condom off and threw it in the trash. Seeing that Riley had already left the bathroom he hollered. “Riley are you on birth control?” “No, why?” Her voice was sweet and innocent, he didn’t know how to say it to her. “Because it broke.” He answered numbly, tossing the broken rubber in the trash frustrated. “Why aren’t you on birth control?” “You are literally the first guy I have slept with in over three years, I guess it didn’t cross my mind.” She returned. “What do we do?” Her eyes showed her in panic. She pulled a red satin robe on that had black lace on the hemlines. “Well, there is I slight chance that you didn’t get pregnant, but there is always the morning after pill, that would be best..” “I’m not doing that.” She interrupted.

    Three weeks laterJackson was woken up early by his phone ringing loudly on his nightstand. “Dad it’s six-thirty in the morning, what is so important?” He grunted.“Are you trying to sell your house?”“I haven’t decided yet.”“You need to cancel your flight this afternoon and we need to talk about this.”“I haven’t seen Riley in three weeks, I’m not cancelling my flight.” He returned getting out of bed and making coffee, he knew where this conversation was going already.“If you are so serious about this girl, why haven’t I met her yet?”“Because I don’t want you to sleep with her.” Jackson shot back.“Jackson, I didn’t know who she was.” His father’s voice softened.“I know dad.”“Cancel your flight.”“No, we can

    Jackson knew that Sam was already at the venue making sure everything was perfect and getting dressed. He paid for breakfast quickly and called a cab, rushing over there and texting Sam on the way. Sam was waiting outside the venue when the cab pulled up.“You didn’t tell Riley, did you?” Sam asked quickly.“I maybe got to see her for an hour, so no, you kicking Gerard out of the wedding behind your father’s back and replacing him with me did not come up.” Jackson answered.“Well, your tux is here and there is a tailor for any last minute changes that may need to be done.” Sam urged him towards the grooms room.“You’re not worried about Gerard trying to crash the wedding?” Jackson asked as he took his clothes off, pulling his tuxedo pants on.“Not really, all the body guards and the host know not to let him in.” Sam answered. “My dad is going to be pissed thou

    Riley made it back to the brides room in time to see Mandy taking a shot off of the bottle. “How did he look?” Mandy asked. “I bet he looked really sexy in that tux.”“Yes, Mandy, He looked great.” Riley returned, trying to get her mind off of Jackson’s chest that was completely bare and all she could think of was how his muscles were bulging and barely able to be contained. He was shirtless when she walked in there, and to distracted to ask why he was in there she tried to keep her mind off of it. “Mandy, you’ll never get to see, if you don’t get dressed.”“I’ve been trying to take the bottle away from her since we got here.” Kasie stated.Kasie had been a close friend of theirs since Mandy became friends with Riley. Kasie was the main bartender at the club they would go to after Mandy got off of work, and was the one that convinced Riley that Sam and Mandy would be good togethe

    Riley woke to her phone ringing at seven-thirty in the morning. “Good morning mother.” She whispered as she climbed out of bed, careful not to wake Jackson.“Good morning Riley, I need you to come to my office right away dear.” Her mother’s voice wasn’t as cheerful as it always was and Riley’s heart sank at the sound of it.“Now Riley!” She could hear her father yell in the background.“Alright, I just need to get dressed first and I will be right there.” She returned hanging up the phone.She grabbed the first decent outfit that she could find, still trying really hard not to wake Jackson as she slipped into the guest room to get dressed. She kissed Jackson before she left and headed to the elevator.Her mother’s office was on the first floor, close to where the hotel check in was. She was surprised to see Sam and Ronnie there also but before she could ask any questions papers

    “I know, but don’t you think Jackson should have been the one to tell me about all of this.” She returned.Mandy brought over the drinks that were quickly delivered and sat down with them. Riley handed her the stack of papers she was bombarded with earlier.“Ry he was probably going to tell you, you two have only been dating for two months now. You can’t be mad because your obsessive ex beat him to it.” Sam defended. “Not everybody is like you, people have a past Riley.”“I know.” Riley answered, sipping off of her smoothie, deep in thought.“Loverboy is looking for you. What do you want me to tell him?” Sam asked, shaking his phone in the air.“Just have him come over.” Riley went back to her smoothie and deep thoughts. She was trying to come up with a decent reason for everything. She barely noticed that Sam got up to let Jackson in.“Dad wants us to

    When Jackson got back to the penthouse it was quiet so he was sure that Riley was gone. He put the vase of dark purple and blue orchids on the table and loosened his tie. The loud banging on the door alerted him, but he already knew who it was.He knew that Gerard would be bothering them sometime soon with the argument they got into at the club. He didn't quite understand why Arthur had invited him to go the club with them. He wondered why Riley’s father was so worried about him being with Riley.He was shocked when Riley came out of the room in a camouflage bikini that covered less than her underwear does. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. “Don’t answer that.” He said as he glanced from her head to toes, extremely aroused by what she was wearing.“I didn’t know you were back yet.” She returned, staring at the door, which still had a loud pounding noise coming from it. “The girls and I were going to go swi

    “Your father invited Gerard to our little get together.” Jackson answered as he pulled a t-shirt on. He left the room quickly.Riley quickly found her satin robe and covered herself, being pulled out of the euphoria she was in faster than she would have liked. She heard shouting, followed by a loud thud, so she rushed out of the room, just in time to see Gerard scrambling to get to his feet.“I already told you once that I will not let you talk about her like that.” Jackson said as he held out a hand to help Gerard up.The second Gerard found his footing he swung his fist toward Jackson. Jackson dodged quickly and Gerard’s fist hit the wall with a loud thud. Gerard pulled back his now swelling fist and shook it but was quickly knocked back down with another swing from Jackson.Riley screamed and ran in between the two, but quickly regretted as Gerard’s fist connected with her jaw. Before she could stand back up Jackson

    Jackson stood at the end of the aisle, patiently waiting but anxious. He glanced over at Erin who was bouncing Arthur Ronnie James on one knee while holding Adelaide Myers on the other. Arthur was just one month older than Adelaide and had his father’s dirty dishwater blond hair, he was wearing possibly the cutest little tuxedo Jackson had ever seen. Adelaide however had Riley’s red hair and Jackson’s greenish blue eyes, she was in a beautiful white dress with purple flower accents.Jackson was glad when he found out that Riley was pregnant, and it was all he could think about for a while, but when Sam said that they would be having a little boy it made it even better, Jackson’s daughter would have an older cousin to protect her, on top of Ronnie of course.He watched as Ronnie got in the chair next to Erin and took Adelaide, rocking the three month old baby to sleep within minutes. He couldn’t help but think about how full and happy his l

    Jackson was shocked at how quickly Derek was able to get the footage and was on the way to what was once the Moretti family’s vineyard. “How do you know that this is where they are?” Ronnie just wanted to be thorough.“The last stop we have him clocked at is about a mile away, where else would that bastard take her?” Sean said as he pushed the clip into his forty-five.“I don’t know why, this place has been abandoned since you kicked Gerard out of the hotel.” Derek said as he pulled out his phone. “Pull up just to where you can barely see the trees, lights off and we will continue on foot. We only saw the three guys and two girls on the footage in the car.” He hung up quickly as too started loading numerous guns, one of which was a fifty cal.“Do you guys work for the mob or something like that?” Jackson joked as he was handed a fully loaded pistol.“Something like that.”

    When they got back to the penthouse to pick up Riley and Mandy they were both shocked when the door to both penthouses were left open and looked like there was a struggle.“What the fuck happened here?” Sam said as he stepped over a box that looked like it had been almost packed before it was knocked over.Jackson peeked in the door and then rushed to Riley’s penthouse screaming for her. Ronnie and Sam followed behind him. The door to Riley’s penthouse had been broken down, the tv was knocked down, the couch flipped over and broken glass by the coffee table. One of the lamps was shattered by the couch.“Ronnie, pull the camera footage and see what’s going on.” Sam demanded as he pulled out his phone attempting to call Mandy. “Mandy’s phone is off.”“Same with Riley’s.” Jackson answered as he hung up his phone. “What the hell do we do?”Sam dialed a number. &ld

    Jackson got out of bed and got dressed, going down and cooking biscuits and gravy as he texted Sam to come by for breakfast. Once everything was done Riley was just coming out of the shower as Sam and Mandy arrived. Mandy and Sam dropped off some of their clothes before they all sat down and ate.The breakfast that Jackson cooked went by fairly quickly with tons of chit-chat and Sam finally announcing that they would be moving in downstairs. Jackson was happy as he watched Riley and Mandy celebrate as they ran down the stairs to unpack Sam and Mandy’s stuff.“You worried about tonight?” Sam asked as soon as Riley and Mandy were out of earshot.“Terrified.” Jackson answered.Sam grinned. “My mom’s not that bad.”“I am just nervous about the whole thing, what if your mother doesn’t want me to marry Riley, or what if Riley says no? I doubt she would, she seems pretty enthusiastic to spend the

    He stammered before he turned the water off and helped her in the bathtub, climbing in behind her. He pulled her so that she was leant against his chest. His heart was thundering wildly as he kissed the back of her neck. “I love you, Riley.”“I love you, Jackson.” She returned, turning her head to kiss him.Her breathe caught in her throat as he lightly traced his fingers up her abdomen. She pushed her body against him even more, feeling that he was rock hard already. She took his lips in a rough kiss, flicking her tongue across the seam until he allowed her entrance as he started playing with her nipples lightly tugging and pinching.It had been so long since they had been intimate that she had forgotten how quickly her body responds to him, and how quickly his responds to her. Feeling the desire building in her core she let out a light moan against his lips. “Jackson.” She begged.“Patience, darlin’.

    “Holy shit, it’s almost a separate house.” Sam said, still amazed even though it looked almost exactly like the ground level, with the bedrooms added.“There’s also a room on the ground-level for your mother and one for Ronnie too.” Jackson stated. “I’m not sure if your mother is going to want to move here, but I know Riley feels more comfortable with Ronnie around.”“Look, man.” Sam started. “Ronnie has protected her and I from a lot of stuff. He’s not just a bodyguard he’s like the really close uncle that would die for us. I know how you could be worried about her having such a young bodyguard but he’s no threat he just wants to see us happy.”“Sam, that’s not what this is about. I can see the connection that they have and it’s not something I’m scared of, I just want her to feel as safe as possible.” Jackson stated. “I’ve b

    Jackson spent the next two months slowly moving his stuff out of his house in California. He would leave with nothing in his suitcases and them filled when he came back. He made his trips short, only a day or two tops and would schedule them around the times that Sam was out of town so that Mandy and Riley could have girl’s nights. He Had managed to convince Riley to start going to therapy with the help of Ronnie and Sam. Mandy was no help, she just agreed with Riley that she would be alright without it.The only thing he kept in his suitcase at all times was the ring that his father gave him for Riley. He would stare at every chance he got. He was worried about asking because they had only been together for six months, but he already knew that she was his forever.This trip was special though. He finally had all of his from his in his bags and as soon as they landed he was taking Riley to see the estate. Sam was the only one in on the plan and he would be pickin

    “Sure, Ronnie’s just across the hall if anything happens.”He kissed her quickly and rushed out of the penthouse, wondering what was going on. “What do you need dad?” He asked as soon as he was in earshot.“Jackson, come with me.” Jerrod said.“What about Riley? We just got home.” Jackson gestured toward the elevator he had just come out of.“I’m not asking you to come back to California with me. I have something for you.” Jerrod returned as he walked out towards the rental car he had.Jackson hesitated, but followed him out. They drove out of the city in silence. It wasn’t long after they got out of the city they were driving through nothing but trees. His dad then pulled off of the highway onto a well-established dirt road that went even further into the trees until it opened up to reveal huge double gate with a huge mansion. Jackson got out of the car as his father did

    Jackson didn’t leave the hospital again until Riley was released. It seemed she held it together while everyone was there but once they all left for the night, she would ask Jackson to come hold her and when he did she would break down and cry herself to sleep. When Riley was released it was just the two of them and the driver that Sam had pick them up from the hospital. Jackson had to hold her in his lap the entire drive. She kept her face buried in his chest and was hyperventilating to the point that he thought she was going to pass out.Once they got to her penthouse she took a shower while Jackson cleaned up, trying to make it easier for her as much as he could. He called Sam once he was finished, hearing that Riley was still in the shower. “Hey, Sam we are home now, she’s in a shower.”“How is she doing?” Sam asked, they had both already discussed how worried they were about her getting into a car again, even though they knew it
