Aria POV

The next few weeks I alternated between tears, fear and anger. How could Lori not tell me something was going on? How could she not trust that I would do anything to protect her. I spent half the time crying in Jasper’s arms as he held me close to him throughout the nights. The other half I pushed him away because I didn’t feel I deserved to be comforted when Lori is missing and possibly being hurt. The what if’s clouds my head to the point I can’t function.

Jasper refused to let me be a part of the search which caused a whole lot of tension between the two of us. I was refusing to be intimate, but he just laughed and pulled me close like it didn’t faze him that we weren’t having sex. It was honestly infuriating. I had the right to search for Lori.

Linc and Jasper had taken Lori’s work computer from the shelter and were searching for clues on it that would hopefully lead us to whoever had stalked her and taken her.

    Jasper POV By the time I arrived Asher had already rushed in. An ambulance sat out front of the building. I could see Asher fussing over Lori. Linc was assisting a police officer in putting a man in the back of a police car. He was yelling for Lori. I shake my head; Of course I missed it. Asher wasn’t going to wait on anyone trying to get to her. I turned to the ambulance and holler out at him, “It took me ten minutes.” Asher turned and shrugged. “Get out,” Lori said to him. “I am not going anywhere,” he said. I could see her roll her eyes. “He’s not related to me.” she starts saying to the EMT crew. “I’m her fiancé.” he says, producing a ring from who knows where. I rolled my eyes; I was not getting involved with that. “No, he’s not!” Lori yells. I turn when Linc comes up beside me. “Why even call us to help?” I say nodding at them with a grin. “I was already with h

    I shake my head, “I’m calling Aria, we’ll meet you at the hospital.” I say to Linc before I climb into the car and call Aria. “You found her?” she says without saying hello. “Yes, Asher had rushed in before I arrived, I don’t know all the details, but I saw her. She’s alive.” “I’ll grab Eli and we will be waiting on you.” she says. “Be there in ten.” She hangs up the phone and I drive back to our home and see Aria and Eli standing in the doorway. Eli is bouncing up and down. I smile, everything is going to be better now that our family is safe. She helps Eli into his car seat and secures him before hopping in the front seat and buckling herself in. I press a kiss to her cheek before heading to the hospital. I drop them off at the entrance to the ER, before parking the car and heading in myself. Asher was at the front desk growling at the nurses with Aria and Eli beside him. She was patting

    Aria Eli launched himself out of my arms onto Lori’s hospital bed and wrapped himself around her like a spider monkey and broke down in tears. “Lo, you can never ever leave me again. I missed you so much. I cried and cried without you. You’re my best friend Lo. You can’t ever go away again.” He cried as she wrapped her bruised arms around his little body and held him tightly to her body. “I’ll never leave you buddy. I didn’t want to leave you. I missed you so much little love.” she whispered into the top of his head. I sat at the edge of the bed as he held her tightly. I cried silently watching my best friend love my son like he was her own. Her eyes locked on mine. I know the question was reflected in my eyes, the one I couldn’t bring myself to ask out loud. She swallowed deeply and shook her head no. Thank God! I thought and took a deep breath. “How bad are you hurt?” I asked instead. She shook her head and ti

    “Join me?” I say softly holding my hand out to him. He jerks away from the doorway and grabs his shirt at the back of his neck and pulls it off slowly. I moan and then blush because his eyes catch mine and he smiles. “You like when I strip for you?” He asks the laughter evident in his voice. I blush but nod my head. He comes up to me and presses a kiss to my neck causing a moan to escape. “Baby I’ll strip for you another day. I just want to hold you right now.” I smile sleepily up at him, “Okay love.” He grins and helps me step into the bathtub before taking his jeans off followed by his boxer briefs. I moan at the sight of his erection. He shrugs. “Happens when you are near. Ignore him.” I laugh softly as he climbs in behind me sliding his legs around me and leaning against the back of the tub, my back to his front as I lean against him. “I love you.” he whispers in my ear before grabbing my loofah and body wash.

    The next few weeks were filled with Aria going over to Asher’s where Lori was. Lori was apparently helping plan the wedding. I would drag Asher out with Eli and I to grab what Lori instructed we needed, mostly to help keep Asher out of her hair. It was going to be awhile before we knew what was going to happen to the man who abducted her. I knew Asher was planning on making sure he was thrown in prison. Lori had only hinted to Aria about what happened. But Asher had admitted that Lori was slowly opening up to him every day. I had a feeling that they were going to end up together. He would kill for her. James Conner doesn’t know how lucky he is that he wasn’t already six feet under the ground. I shake my head at the thoughts and watch Asher interact with Eli. He could bring anyone out of a funk. I focused on the suit jacket and pants that Lori said would be the perfect shade of grey for the wedding. A deep purple dress shirt finished th

    Jasper POVAsher grins, “I went and picked one up a few days before everything went down. I told you I’m playing the long game. I want Lori for life.” I hold up a finger, “Not to put a damper on this, but what if she doesn’t want you?” A cocky look crosses his face, “If she chooses to not want to be with me, then I’ll walk away. I can’t force her to be with me. But I am going to convince her to be mine.” I shake my head and look over at Linc, “What’s going on with you and Braylin. You’ve been quiet on that front.” He shakes his head and looks up, “She’s going to be the death of me. She keeps playing pranks and trying to piss me off. Every time I think we’re going to end up close she plays me.” He crosses his arms over his chest and leans back. “I can’t get a read on her. Every time I think I have her figured out she ends up in another area code in my brain.” I throw my head back and laugh. “Dude, that’s what's so great. It’s

    I couldn’t believe I had asked him to strip. I bit my lip as I followed his instructions. I sat in the chair in the middle of the room waiting. I hear him walking down the hall. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I look up at him, but he is putting his phone on the Bluetooth speaker dock. He turns to me and smiles when he pushes play. I laugh as Booty Work by T-Pain starts playing. He starts moving to the beat and I stop laughing. I suck my lips into my mouth as I watch his body move in front of me. He grinds in front of me, and I moan. I lick my lips, my eyes locked on him as he grabs the back of his shirt and throws it off. How the hell do men manage to take off their shirts without messing anything up or getting caught up in the clothing. I could never just throw a shirt off. Hell, it's a production to get them on most days. Jumping to get jeans on, juggling pulling a shirt down over my breasts etc. But no, he somehow can just… I grin at my thoughts and

He stands up suddenly with me in his arms causing me to squeal and wrap my arms around his neck. He dances us over to the bed and lays me down. He strips me out of my dress. Throwing it onto the floor before pressing kisses to my face. I laugh up at him. “I love you.” I say softly. He smiles, “I love you too, Aria. More than you’ll ever know.” He kisses me deeply before pulling back and pulling my panties off my body. He undoes my bra and throws it onto the ever-growing pile of clothes on the floor. He takes my nipple in his mouth and sucks deeply causing me to arch into him. He slides a finger into me, and I cry out. My whole body tightens at the feel of his finger deep inside me. I don’t know how it seems to get better and better every time he touches me.

The planning had been made harder by my anxiety of going out, having the guys pick up things I had ordered only to find they weren’t the right color or look that I had planned. I was tired of not being able to go out without Asher by my side.While I love him and want to have a life with him, I need to be able to go back to work, to go shopping, to be able to breathe.

    AsherI flipped Lori onto her hands and knees then pushed against her upper back to make her lower her chest and head to the bed. Pushing her ass higher in the air. Presenting herself to me. My wolf ached to come out and take hers just like this.Smack! Smack!I peppered her ass with hard slaps against her ass, turning her pale ass to red, “No Asher! Stop! You can’t spank me! I am not a child!” she screeched, and I couldn’t help but grin before I spoke.“You can’t leave me like that ever again. If you are pissed off at me you come to me, Lori, I don’t care how pissed you are. You come to me.”“I will!” she cried.I pressed a finger through her slit and groaned at the feel of her dripping with my cum. “You are my mate, my only mate. The only woman that I have ever truly loved. So we don’t run away from our issues, we face them head on together. That is something I promised you when I saved you, now I need you to promise me.”“I promise, Asher, I’m so sorry.” She sobbed into the pillow.

    LoriWas I mad at Asher, kind of. Was I more pissed at myself because I wanted this to be real, but my own mental issues was trying to convince me that he was a liar. Yes. However, I should have listened to my wolf. I should have listened to what she was telling me the entire time I was running away.That he is her mate. That she belongs to him. My wolf had claimed him, point blank period. And to find out that that bitch had come here to try and blackmail him for money, who the fuck did she think she is.I go to run past Asher, ready to go find that bitch and take her down. No one threatens what is mine.

You just ran my mate of with your lies. I will end you if I ever see you around here again!” I growl. I turn to leave, to follow Lori. To explain that Leah was my ex. That Lori was my mate no one else was.Leah grabbed my arm and turned me back towards her, “That fat girl was so not your mate baby, you could never go for someone like that,” she rolls her eyes and laughs before crying out as I wrapped one hand around her throat not holding her tightly just enough to get her attention.“You listen to me, that woman is worth a million of you. She doesn’t cheat, she doesn’t lie, she doesn’t try to be manipulative and unlike you she knows how to be faithful.”She narrows her eyes at me, “you better listen to what I have to say Asher.

    LoriI can’t believe that I made love to Asher, finally. I thought I would freeze up from the words that James had said, but being with Asher was like breathing. Easy, fun, and so much more than I could have ever imagined.I pulled my favorite jumpsuit, that had nude underlining with black lace over the stomach and chest with pockets and soft material at the legs. I looked in the mirror and was proud of what I saw, taking a moment to lift my hand to the new mark on my neck, the mark showing that I was taken, that I was wanted, loved and claimed by my mate. I sighed happily, Asher walked up behind me and pressed a kiss to the mark, his eyes locked on mine.“I can feel how happy you are,” He whispers in my ear.“I feel like I don’t deserve it but want to keep it so badly it hurts.” I say.He nods, “I get it, I don’t feel like I deserve this, not after what happened in school, even though I was trying to protect you, I still hurt you. Then when I found you and Aria, I just lashed out, an

That he wanted us so badly that he did it.He lifted me onto my knee’s to straddle him.“What the hell, Asher?”“Baby, I don’t want to hurt you so what we are going to do is I’m going to have you take control for now. I want you to lower yourself on me until you can take me completely. What you are going to do is you are going to rise and fall and take your time. Ride me. Take me in your hand, Good fucking girl, you are such a good girl for me. Now place me at your entrance, yes Lori, fuck you are going to make me cum so fast.”I preened at his praise as I followed his instructions. I slowly eased down a small amount, gasping at the feel of the head of his thick cock stretching me. The small amount of pain disappearing at the overwhelming amount of pleasure that I was feeling as I inched my way down his cock.“Fuck, Asher please I need, please just please!” I cried;

After everything I had put her through, everything that asshole put her through, she was happy again.Lori walked back into the room and stood in front of me, nibbling on her thumb, I could smell her arousal, but I wasn’t going to force her to do anything she wasn’t ready for.She took a deep breath, nodded then climbed into my lap facing me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her shoulder. She leaned forward and softly pressed her lips to mine. I could smell her becoming anxious when I wasn’t deepening the kiss.I pulled her closer, her breasts pressed against my chest.
