Ruthless - Jason McCann ( Perilous Sequel )

Ch. 6 : "I got you Jase"

*Ashton's P.O.V*

I didn't want to go downstairs quite yet , I felt awful . I bet you thousands that the Immortals were scooping around all night watching us , why didn't I think of that ? How could I have been so dumb and pathetic to not know that was one of them ? I have to stop being this way . I have to stop this softness about me, it's only causing us more danger . I have to suspect everything and anything, be cautious of everything that I do and everywhere I go .

I do not want to go down there and hear them talking about the mess I made last night . I can't shake this disgusting feeling that I got us into deep shit , if you thought we were already in deep , we're certainly in some messed up shit now . Before it was just a slip up , a collision , but now this is serious . We shot one of their guys and whatever comes next will be my fault . It will not be long until they strike back .

This crushing feeling in my stomach ties me to where I stand , staring at myself in the mirror in mine and Jason's bedroom . There are certain things that aren't the same anymore , I'm stronger . My body is more womanly than it was before , my hips are certainly wider and my chest is not as flat as it was last time I checked. I'm changing everyday. I am not that little girl anymore. I run my fingers back through my hair and scan myself head to toe, chewing on the inside of my cheek .

The door thrusts open, in its arch stands Jason. "What are you doing?" he huffs as he stalks in, his hands made into fists. I can see new cuts on them that weren't there before. I sighed heavily as I wondered up behind him, took hold of his wrist and examined it. Wrenching it away he hissed through his teeth, notifying me not to touch him. I'v seen those grazes too many times not to notice what they meant.

"Who did you just hit?" I tried to keep my voice as calm as I could . This is all my fault , none of this would've of happened if I hadn't of gotten out of that car. All this stress wouldn't have passed around and the Immortals wouldn't have been satisfied. Obviously not with one of their men down but the fact that they got a reaction out of us and we fell into their trap. It was all because of me .

I kept my ground behind him for a while until he decided to answer me. "I hit Mason" he murmured in defeat. No matter how riddled with anger he is , I will always be his weakness and he will always be mine. I held my eyes shut for a while letting the guilt sail through me, I wasn't going to fight it. If I wouldn't have done what I did, Jason wouldn't be like this and Mason wouldn't have a probably very black and blue face right now. I let the foul feeling consume me .

Staring at the back of his neck , I stepped towards him , placing a small kiss just above the neckline of his shirt . Leaning my head on his back , I breathed out heavily . I didn't say anything , what could I have said ? He would've just told me to 'shut up' and 'get a grip' that this wasn't my fault and I shouldn't be feeling this way . But I can't help it .

Spreading my hands across his stomach I sigh into the crook of his neck . "Say something" he whispers now . I gulp . What do I say ? . "Sometimes , people take their anger out on the people that mean the most to them" I take in a sharp breath . " I see the way you act around Mason , you're friends , you're close . I guess you're still getting use to the feeling of...-"

"I have you , you're all I need" he interrupts . "I know" I smile a little "But , you need him . You need all the guys . Don't push him away like you do with everyone . You....we , need everyone we can get right now . Freddi is one of those people , I know you don't like him that much but...he means well".

He turns around and slides his arms around my waist , pulling me into him . He nods "I should probably say.....sorry . You always know what to say , even when you don't" he winks as he smashes his lips into mine . The perfect fit . My heart pulsing with his as he grasps every part of me into himself . I forget that what he just say didn't even make much sense .

Pulling away , his eyes wide and alive , I stare at him . "Come with me" he pleads as he takes my waist . "To apologize ? I think you'll have to do that by yourself" I smiled lightly as I was caught deeper and deeper in his eyes . Each time I stare into them , a new feature of perfection will appear that I didn't notice before .

"I know that" he smirked , dropping his head . Looking back up at me under his eyelashes he bites his lip . "I just need sometime to get out . A little break from all this gang shit for a while , come with me" it was a command , not a question . I didn't have a choice . Neither did I need to chose , wherever he goes , I will follow . Despite the risks , we both need a rest from all this . "I know somewhere private , we won't be spotted" he nodded in confidence .

"I trust you" I say as I snatch his lips in a passionate kiss , savouring the sweet taste of his lips : smoke and mint , mixed together to create the most faultless taste that I craved . Leaning over me , our bodies fit together , he latches his teeth onto my bottom lip . "I better go speak to Mason" he sighs as he unwillingly lets go of my lips . I nod , tucking a lock of untamed hair behind my ear .

*Jason's P.O.V*

Wondering down the stairs , I follow the sound of his voice . I catch the eyes of Kane , who is facing me , talking to Mason : who has his back to me . Staggering into the kitchen , as soon as Mason realizes that Kane isn't listening anymore ,he turns to me . "McCann..." was all he said , as if I had been gone for several years and had only just returned . "Your eye , I'm didn't mean it" I murmured , damn I sound like I'm lying , even to my own ears .

A long minute went passed . "That's it ? You know , I'm starting to think you can't handle all this Jason ? So you're taking it out on the only guy who can !" I start to feel the vexation sizzle through me. "I can!" Kane interrupted . "Shut up , Kane!" Mason snapped .

I try to calm myself down . 'Count to ten' I mentally tell myself . Think of Ash and her smile and the way she laughs , I was calm now . "I'm not here to argue about bullshit , okay?" I shake my head in irritation . "I just wanna say I'm sorry , man . I didn't mean for this to happen , I think we're just all a bit overheated right now" . With this , he kept his mouth shut . I fell quite satisfied with myself .

Mason nods , as he looks up I notice the purple that surrounds his eye already . A brown smeared with purple and black , It wan't just the apology I was impressed with . "Alright man , I got you Jase" and he grabs my shoulder and hand and pull me into a bear hug .

"Alright Gonzalez , I'll speak to you later . Me and the lady are off out for a bit . And before you start , we're not going into town so It's okay" . I was glad that Mason accepted my apology so quickly , maybe I was getting softer and seriously turning into a better man . It's all because of Ash , I'll never be able for thank her enough for the person she is turning me into each day .

*Ashton's P.O.V*

Driving around with Jason was my favourite place to be . We didn't have to worry about what people might hear or see , our own little space that only we could communicate in . Driving too fast for people to see , too enclosed for people to hear outside . "What are you thinking?" he smiles crookedly , showing off his dazzling teeth . Trying to catch back my stolen breath , I stare at him . What was I thinking ?

"Where are we going?" I asked . It wasn't like him to just drop everything for a little while. Normally Jason is all about business, all about getting things finished. Grabbing me out of my thoughts, his hand suddenly grabbed hold of my leg. "You keep drifting away" he chuckles "If you're too tired for this I can just take us back ho-"

"No!" I snap "I just I don't want to go back, let's just go" I try to smirk as he looks over at me and bites his lip in a smirk. "What?" I scoff as I push his knee. "Eager to get me on my own are you?" he softly chuckles and it's like I can't hear anything else. Not the rumble of the car, or the cars driving past or even the music from the radio, just him softly laughing at me.

"I'm taking you shooting" he grins and raises his eyebrows as I feel my stomach start to churn.
