On The Border - Marry Him Or Die

70

Alex’s POV

I never believed in sex addiction until now.

Jenny has made me a sex addict to her. She has also made me a love addict, a pleasure addict, a hug addict, a kiss addict, in short, a Jenny addict. For all these addictions are only associated with one person, my mesmerizing wife. She is the only one who can ignite that addiction in me.

I want to feel myself inside her, taste her, hear her sexual voices and release, worship all her body parts, and do it all over again and again without tiring or stopping

I lost count of how much sex we had since last night.

When I heard her heart touching confession, I yearned to bury myself inside her, to mold with her, and to show her exactly how much she pleasures me and brings such happiness and joy into my life.

I had to send a text to Lucas to not let anyone bother us to come for breakfast, that we slept very late last night and are going to sleep it off for a while. I sent it, and switched my phone off so he doesn’t interrupt with a phone call or an annoying reply.

After that, I proceeded to shower Jenny with all my love and passion.

She never disappointed me with her responsiveness. Always eager and wet to receive all the pleasure I had in store for her.

We devoured each other until we could no longer move.

Until we could no longer function well without any substances like food and water.

If it wasn’t for those things standing in the way and putting a pause to our crazy love making, we would have been at it all day, and we would have never gotten bored or sick of each other.

Every sex act we did this morning inspired a different kind of feeling, a different kind of pleasure, a different kind of desire. They didn’t just all blend together and became repetitive. They each held their own meaning and their own intensity, they’re very own ecstasy and euphoria.

By the time we were sated with each other; for now, it was already eleven in the morning.

I knew Jenny had to take her insulin and eat so her diabetes doesn’t get negatively affected from her extra strenuous activities.

So after we caught our breaths from our last intense orgasms, I looked at her and saw her radiant red face glowing with pure joy. She had her eyes closed and a wide grin on her face.

The grin made her dimples deepen and I lunged at the opportunity to kiss them before they disappeared.

She shivered at my kisses and locked her hands around my neck to trap me in place.

She opened her green eyes and stared at me with passion “I think it’s about time we finished ‘sleeping it off’ and decided to join the real world, don’t you think?”

I pretended to be a little offended and asked “Tired of me already?”

She chuckled and said “Never baby. But truthfully my body is tired and needs to refuel again. And we do live with other people you know. I don’t want to make them think that I’m keeping you away from them”

“You’re not. We are entitled to our privacy Jenny, and they respect that. Don’t think like this please” I said gently.

“Ok” she said gratefully.

“Shower together?” I suggested playfully.

She giggled and said “That depends, are you going to behave?”

“Only if you do” I smirked.

Let’s just say we both misbehaved and got ourselves another quickie in the shower before we decided to go out and join the family.

“Am I imagining things April, Or did we just get honored with our beloved brother and his wife’s presence on this fine day? I was starting to think you were going to ‘Sleep’ until tomorrow” Lucas said sarcastically from the living room. Where he, April, and mom were sitting when we walked in.

He made sure to parenthesize the word sleep with a hand gesture to let us know that he wasn’t fooled.

My mom smacked him on the back of the head angrily as he yelped in pain.

April was trying to hide her smile from fear of my mom.

“Good morning mom” I said as I came over and printed a soft kiss on her forehead.

“Morning honey, morning Jenny” mom said softly.

“Morning… Diana, everyone” she said nervously.

Lucas managed to embarrass her a little even though she said she will not let him do that anymore. And I couldn’t help but send death glares in Lucas’s direction, which he totally ignored.

“Come sit. April, go tell Sara to make them some sandwiches please” said mom gently.

April hurried into the kitchen as we settled down.

We sat on either sides of my mom on the long couch, while Lucas was sitting on the adjacent one, closer to Jenny.

April came back and sat next to Lucas.

“Did you check on David?” I asked Lucas.

All humor disappeared from his face as he said tightly “I did, after breakfast. He’s still tied up to the chair, Mathew allowed him to go to the bathroom periodically and then tied him back. I don’t see any reason for doing that anymore, so how about we get it over with and decide what to do with him?”

“What do you want to do?” I asked him right away.

“You’re the boss, whatever you say” he replied dryly.

“That wasn’t your opinion yesterday, what changed?” I asked curiously.

He averted his gaze and pinched his eyebrows together. It took him sometime to admit it but eventually he did “I was overwhelmed with betrayal and anger, I couldn’t control everything coming out of my mouth”

“You don’t want to kill him anymore?” I wondered.

He gives me a hard look and says “I wanted nothing more than that…. Yesterday. Now, after seeing first hand the true face of his father, I’m quite amazed the kid had a shred of decency to come clean considering who raised him”

“Mom? What do you think?” I turned to her for guidance.

She hesitates a little as she looks between me and Lucas, as if she’s afraid of our reactions to her next words, which quite baffled me.

“I would like for you to set him free and give him the option to stay with us, become a part of our family for real this time” she said firmly.

“No way!” Lucas said right away, while I just stared in amazement at her.

She was serious. She wanted to give him another chance. I wondered why though, so I asked her out loud.

“You want the person who had a hand in….”

“He was misguided. His father has influenced him and played him. But when he was left here with us, he distinguished between right and wrong. He woke up and realized that he was blindly following behind a sick twisted man, and he came to his senses. You said it yesterday, why would he risk torture and death by telling you the truth? Because he knows that what he did was wrong and that he deserves it. Because he cares about us and doesn’t want anyone to hurt us even his father. He lost his way, but he found it with us. How can we turn our backs on him now that he tried to save you two from harm? How can we throw him out all alone with no body left in his life to wonder around and find other people who will use him for their own good just like his father did? Why not show him a better way? Give him exactly what he saw with us but could never feel it because of his guilt and remorse? Why not show him real love and loyalty that he must have been craving for from his father but never received it?” mom said emotionally and wiped her fallen tears when she was done.

Lucas and I looked at each other, probably thinking the same thing.

“I don’t know if we can ever be able to trust him again mom” I said tightly.

“So what? You’re going to go in there and shoot him?” she asked overwhelmingly.

The pain in her voice hurt me. She really cared for him and it was so eerie.

The son of her husband’s murderer. And she could still be neutral and stand up for him.

She was an enigma that will probably never be repeated again.

When she didn’t receive an answer from me, she turned to Jenny.

“What do you think, Jenny? Do you think he should be given another chance or thrown out or killed?” she asked her seriously.

Jenny looked at me, I knew where she stood from the beginning, she felt his remorse before anyone else did, she suspected he was going to come clean even though I highly doubted it. But she proved me wrong, her instincts about him were true. She was silently asking if she should voice that out or not.

My mom caught her look and told her gently as she took her hands in hers “You’re entitled to your opinion Jenny. You’re one of us, I told you that before. You can speak up and say whatever you want whenever you want. You don’t need permission”

“She’s right, Jenny” I said tenderly, supporting my mom.

Jenny looked at her and said emotionally “I believe your instinct about him is completely true, Diana. He’s been abandoned and manipulated by that man, but he still came around for us all. Putting myself in his place right now, tied up and deserted by everyone, he must be in so much pain right now. Thinking that you’re going to kill him or throw him out of your lives when he’s got no one and nothing left in his life. Besides, you’re forgetting something really important. If you let him go and ban him from Snow, he will have no choice but to return back home, where Lord Z can easily manipulate him to avenge his father, or worse he might torture him for information about you two. Since he spent sometime with you, he’s bound to have picked up a lot of information about the business. You will be putting him in danger you might as well kill him now if you take that option”

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think what your wife said makes sense. We can’t let him go back. But accepting him back with us….” Lucas shakes his head in denial.

“It’s either that or kill him” I said in finality.

There was no third option. What Jenny just said was eye opening and very important. Lord Z will destroy him to bits to get whatever he wanted from him.

I would have eventually jumped to that conclusion once I truly thought about our options for him. But since I was too busy with Jenny since last night, I didn’t give David’s fate a lot of thinking yet.

“Don’t kill him, please” April said tearfully as she looked straight at me.

She carried on frantically “He’s really not as horrible as you think he is. He’s a good person. And he really regrets his participation in what happened”

“And how do you know that?” asked Lucas tightly.

April started fiddling with her hands nervously and looked at them as she spoke up “After Jacob left and Lucas got shot, I was standing out in the balcony in the middle of that night crying so hard over everything that happened to us ever since that day”

She didn’t need to specify which day she was referring to, we all knew she meant the day our father died.

“David joined me and asked me what I was crying about. So I told him that I miss dad so much. And then I started telling him about how great he was and how he stood up for me all the time, loved me in a special way because I was the only daughter he had, kept Lucas from stealing my allowance which he always tried to do just to mess with me. Told Jacob to leave me be when he saw a boy walking me home one day. I was telling him all my favorite memories with dad and forgot that I was even crying, but then he broke down and started sobbing very hard instead of me. As if he was the one who lost his father. I asked him what happened, and he said that he wished he would have taken that bullet for him and kept him alive for us. He said that my father sounded like a great dad and that he loved him so much just from the few memories I shared about him. He kept apologizing for my loss, and he was so sincere about it. I saw the true pain in his eyes that night. I didn’t get it then, it never occurred to me that he was hiding a huge burden within him, I thought he was overwhelmed because of my stories about dad. But when the truth came to light yesterday, I connected everything together. He really meant his words about taking that bullet instead of him, I believe him Alex. Please, don’t kill him"

When she finished, they were all wiping their tears away as they were very touched, except Lucas and me. I mean I was touched too; and so was Lucas most probably, but we were just better at controlling our emotions than our women here.

“Lucas? Can you accept him to become a part of our family again?” I asked him.

Now that everyone voiced their opinions, it was down to me and Lucas.

Lucas seemed torn.

“For lack of better options, I’ll accept it. But I will have my eyes on him and he will remain under suspicion for a very long time until proven otherwise” he said tightly.

“Just don’t drive him nuts like you did me, or he might actually beg you to kill him just to get away from you” teased Jenny pointedly.

“I make no promises on that” he told her playfully.

“One more thing” I addressed Lucas.

An idea popped into my head, but the only way it will work was if Lucas keeps his control in check.

“Let’s hear it”

“Since you volunteered for the job of gathering all the information about Lord Z, you will have to accompany David to their house in Yukon and gather any information you can find that Stefan collected on him and all his other acquaintances. He must have had something usable. You and him will go together and come back together, just the two of you. You have to both keep him safe from Lord Z and not snap and kill him yourself. Can you manage to do that or should I send Mathew instead? You need to go today and come back at night. Lord Z will not be suspicious of Stefan’s death yet, but if we wait longer, he might send some of his men over to his house to investigate”

“If he promises to keep his mouth shut all the time, I can manage” he said in annoyance.

“That’s not really reassuring” mumbled Jenny.

He scowled at her and said “That’s not really my problem. If he values his life, he’ll be careful around me. If not, you better say goodbye to him form now”

She narrowed her eyes at him and shook her head in a slight exasperation.

“There is something else you should all know before we say it to David” I said reluctantly.

Lucas and I exchanged a look, we were the only ones who knew what I was referring to.

It was something Stefan admitted to us in the car as we drove him towards the cemetery.
