Destroyer

Cassidy tossed the bags into the small kitchen of her one bedroom apartment and without bothering to turn on the light, ran to the bathroom and lay down on the toilet, regurgitating everything she had eaten during the day. Her nausea and vomiting were at their peak and the morning sickness turned into "no matter what time of day" vomiting. She rested her forehead on her palm and closed her eyes, sighing and tucking her legs under her.

"Are you sick?" her heart stopped and she slowly turned her head, looking up to meet the eyes so green that had haunted her dreams for the past little over three months. "Jason..." her voice was hoarse from the strain of vomiting, the surprise and pain that shot through her the moment she met that gaze again, but now so cold and evil. She stood up, facing him.

"How did you find me?" Cassidy asked quietly, walking towards him and the door, trying to look calm but the truth was she was getting excited. He had looked for her, he had not given up on her, he had not surrendered and he had found her. "Did you really think you could hide from me, Cassidy?" she shivered, that cold indifferent voice was not her husband's.

"What do you want?" she tried to walk past him but he blocked her way with his hand, everything inside her was trembling just from the fact that he was so close. "Am I that weak?" she thought, looking up at his cold face. "I want to get my investment back, of course" he shrugged, looking at her piercingly, not even a muscle twitched on his face, not a trace of a smile, a glint in his eyes, nothing suggesting that he was happy to see her or sorry for what he had done. "You didn't have to come all the way here just for that, your money is where you left it, in the bank, I'm using my personal." her heart, barely fixed, broke again when he called her an investment.

Why had she been happy that he had found her? She obviously meant nothing to him, he just wanted his money back. "You can withdraw them from the account yourself and go back where you came from" she slipped under his arm and walked back into the small bedroom. Her head felt dizzy from the volcano of emotions and she leaned against the wall, pausing for a moment and taking a deep breath. "You didn't answer me, Cassidy?" his cold voice sounded again and her vision blurred from the dagger in her heart.

"I told you, your money's in the bank," she mumbled, closing her eyes, but that only made the dizziness worse. "I asked are you sick,Cassidy?" she felt the warmth of his body behind her. Jason was so close her body was melting at the feel of him. Why did she have to love him so much, why, after he had betrayed her? Why had she raised hope, even for a moment, when all he wanted was his money. "It's not..." her body went numb and betrayed her.

Her body slumped and Jason caught her in surprise and instinct. "What.." he picked her up in his arms, furrowing his brows. "You've put on weight, love" he whispered softly and crouched down on the bed, letting her lie down, then turned turning on the lamp. His eyes bore into her face, she was pale, her cheeks looked a little puffy, but it gave her some irresistible charm and he smiled slightly, sitting on the bed next to her and placing his hand on her belly, needing to feel her warmth. It was hard for him not to hug and kiss her at the moment.

His brows furrowed as his palm rested on her slightly bulging belly and he blinked in confusion. "Oh Cas..." Jason lifted her blouse slightly and gaped at the barely noticeable but forming belly. His eyes moved to her face, then back to her cream. She stirred and he looked up, meeting her still clouded gaze. "How long?" Cassidy tried to sit up, ignoring his question, but the dizziness refused to go away and she lay back down, closing her eyes.

"None of your business" Jason took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. Now was not the time for him to lose his temper, not when Cassidy was in this state. "Answer me Cassidy!" he ordered with a snarl and she glared at him. "It doesn't matter" she stood up anyway. "Go away, Jason, you got what you wanted, I'm sure Rebecca is waiting for you" her voice was filled with so much pain, it was so quiet, Cassidy was never a good liar, she was trying to be strong but she couldn't hide anything from him.

She tried to get out of bed, but he jumped up and pinned her to the mattress, his arms above her head and holding her tightly, taking care of her tummy. "Don't tell me what I came for, love!" Cassidy shuddered to hear the nickname again and her eyes welled up with tears. "I asked how long, love?" his face was so close to hers that she could feel his breath with her lungs. "Seventeen weeks" she choked back and he gritted his teeth. "You were pregnant when.." Cassidy nodded and looked away.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep running?" he asked, burying his face in her neck and breathing in her scent. "Would it have mattered? I didn't know then, but it hardly would have made a difference," he looked up, grabbing her wrists with one hand and forcing her to look at him with the other. "If I show you something, will you believe me?" her eyebrows twitched in confusion. "You're so beautiful" he suddenly pressed his lips to hers, making her breath catch in her throat. She tried to fight, but she missed him, the feel of him, his strength, his taste. Her hormones raged and clouded her mind, banishing the pain of betrayal and leaving only the pleasure in his hands again.

Her struggling body relaxed and she rose against his lips, allowing his tongue to enter her mouth and a small moan to escape. Jason lost control, he sat on her hips and stood up, lifting her and slipping her blouse over her head, pushing her back onto the bed and sinking into her lips, his hands roaming her body hungrily. "Jason" she moaned and he chuckled into her neck. "I'm not done yet,love" Cassidy gasped as he undid her sports bottom and settled between her legs.

"Jason, wait..." Cassidy tried to protest, to push him away, but her arms were pinned above her head again, and Jason settled on top of her, covering her lips with a kiss as he unzipped his pants. "Not now,love" he growled against her lips before taking them again and drinking her moan as her underwear fell to shreds and he penetrated her deeply, lifting her hips onto his waist.

"God, Jason!" Cassidy really was a bad liar. Jason had hurt her and she had shut down, she didn't trust him but she loved him like she had never loved anyone else in her life and her body and heart and mind responded to his every signal, touch, kiss. "I've missed you so much,my love" he thrust hard and Cassidy whimpered in pleasure, pressing her hips into him. "You're mine, Cassidy, now and forever!" he moaned and increased the speed of his movements, feeling her orgasm.

She screamed and squirted loudly, arching her back, Jason let go of her hands and leaned into his own, thrusting in even deeper, he leaned down and began to kiss her, chasing his own climax. "Baby..." he gritted his teeth and his cock shuddered and hardened, pouring his cum deep inside Cassidy. He slumped against her side, breathing heavily, burying his face in the pillow next to her neck. "I'm going to put a tracker on you" he mumbled and Cassidy couldn't help but burst out laughing and Jason got up on his elbows and looked at her with a smirk.

He suddenly remembered something and dug into his pants pocket, pulling out his phone and handing it to a confused Cassidy, then got on his knees and undressed again, covering them with the covers and taking his phone back. Cassidy watched him curiously as he rummaged through his gallery. "Here" he handed her the phone and played a video. Her eyes filled with tears as she watched the clip and she covered her mouth with her hand to stifle her sobs.

"My father paid her, he wanted to break us up so he could get to you, hoping to get revenge on me for kicking him out of the company. Lucky for me, you know how to hide, even I barely managed to find you" Cassidy didn't know what to say, so she just buried her face in his chest and cried loudly. "I'm sorry Jason, I'm so sorry" Cassity sobbed and he held her close. "Did I really believe that I could be mad at her for something that wasn't her fault?" he thought, stroking her back soothingly.

"Cas" he lifted her face and wiped away her tears with his thumb. "It's okay love, the important thing is that he didn't make it and we're back together" she nodded and sniffed. "Good girl" he pecked her lips and smiled, turning her onto her back and resting her head on his palm, placed a hand on her stomach. "Now tell me all about this little one here? What is it, boy or girl, does it bother you a lot?" he leaned down and kissed her belly. "Aren't you naughty like your mother, little baby?" he whispered and Cassidy giggled.

"Jason, what are you doing?" he looked up questioningly. "What, conspiring with my child" he grinned and Cassidy burst out laughing. "So boy or girl?" he asked and Cassidy shrugged. "I don't know yet, but it's very naughty, you'll soon find out" his eyebrows shot up and he pouted against her belly. "When we get home, I want you to go through a full physical, with me present." Cassidy agreed with a nod and yawned. "Since the pregnancy?" he asked and she smiled slightly, placing her hand on his. "Yeah, I get tired quickly" she sighed and Jason laid down, pulling her close. "Then get some sleep, we have a long way to go tomorrow" Cassidy smiled against his chest, soothed by the rhythm of her beloved heart.
