and Frank Grayson. We will take shifts between us and one of us will be by your

Miss Stone” he divulged and ordered simultaneously.
    I nodded
again. “Thank you” I smiled and he nodded again and then stepped back and took
position against the wall, his hands behind his back and his feet apart.
     
    Kerrie
exited the kitchen with a tray full of coffee and held it up to Elijah for him
to take one then she placed it on the coffee table.
    I sat on the
floor beside it so I could put the babies on the floor to play with them and
drink the much needed coffee. I sighed in pleasure as the caffeine flowed
through my veins and Kerrie chuckled. “Courtney’s coming over later so she can
stay with you but she’s got a hospital appointment this morning and George is
flying out today.”
    She smiled
as she saw the huge grin that erupted on my face at the knowledge of seeing
George. I so needed to see him and I knew he would lift my spirits immediately.
     
    I tickled
the babies and giggled with them, enjoying their innocence and normality of
them. My heart swelled as I tickled George and he broke wind. “You are so much
like your father” I chuckled and I heard Kerrie cough slightly.
    I looked up
and gasped as I saw Mason stood watching over me. We both gazed at each other,
feeding off each other’s presence, filling our senses with one another’s scent
and aura.
    He dropped
to the floor beside me and opened his arms and I climbed silently onto his lap.
His arms wrapped around me and pulled me tight. His nose nuzzled my hair and
his lips settled against my ear, softly placing a tender kiss on it as my head
rested on his strong powerful chest.
    He didn’t
speak, I didn’t need him to, I was just happy to be touching and smelling him,
to be close to him and hear his soft breaths and his steady heartbeat in my ear.
My body instantly relaxed into him as it sprang to life, each nerve ending
crying out in relief and my heart finally beating regularly, matching the
rhythm of his own heartbeat.
     
    We sat like
that for a long time, Kerrie and Elijah had disappeared into the kitchen with
the babies, as we just held one another.
    “Show me” he
finally said quietly and I inhaled harshly and shook my head faintly.
    “Mason I…” I
swallowed nervously and frowned at him.
    “Show me,
Ava” he demanded and I swallowed again.
     Taking a deep
breath I climbed off his lap and waited for him to stand, he grasped my hand
and led me up the stairs, each one seemed more difficult to climb as I knew
what I was about to do would kill him inside.
     
    He led me
into the bedroom and we stood silent in the middle of the room. I sucked on my
lips, desperately not wanting to do this. He stood impassively, his face
showing no emotion what so ever and I gulped as I started to unbutton the loose
silk shirt I had put on for comfort.
    I wasn’t
wearing a bra as the straps and back rubbed against my sores and I cringed when
I undid the last one and looked up at him. He nodded blankly but I saw the
slight bob of his Adam’s apple and I knew he was steeling himself for this
moment.
     
    I slipped my
shirt off my shoulders as I closed my eyes and I heard him gasp and the sound
of his heavy swallow. I cringed and turned around; showing him the whip lashes
and scorch marks. I heard the sob escape his throat and I instantly turned,
grabbed him and pulled him onto the bed, pulling him against me as the sobs
tore from him, the anguished cries that erupted from his throat.
    I rocked him
tenderly. “I’m okay, I’m here, I love you so much” I sobbed against him and he
tightened his grip around me. “None of this is your
