He would always be looking over his shoulder and wanting to go back home freely without worrying if that would be the time he’d be captured.
It was better this way… that’s what he kept telling himself.
Jason waited until the sun had set fully to stand and head out to the patio. The sight was beautiful. The ombre blue waves of the ocean were right underneath their feet, and the clouds were big, puffy, and beautiful. At the sound of the patio door sliding, Makayla looked back at him with a smile. Jason loved this woman more than he thought was fucking possible. Even though his loyalty would always be to the streets first, she was a close second. A mistress in a sense. Whenever he spent too much time with one, he’d feel as if he was cheating on the other. While Makayla said she understood and accepted the code he lived by, Jason often wondered if one day what he offered would no longer be enough.
Makayla was young, only twenty-eight, what did she really know about life? Hell, one day she’d probably want marriage and babies, for him to settle down and go legit, none of which Jason would ever be able to offer her. He’d become her protector the night he and Kannon found her wandering the streets years ago. Neither knew the horrible nightmare she was trying to escape at home because of her sister’s murder or how close the trio would get when he approached, but there wasn’t shit about their ten years of knowing Makayla that Jason would change.
Still, a part of him wondered if she’d be better off when he left. Able to live a normal life, be with a normal man, have a normal family. She said it wasn’t, but if that’s what she wanted… Makayla deserved all that.
“Hey,” she spoke softly, wrapping her arms around herself.
She’d always been the affectionate type, but she stifled herself to appease him. Jason’s mother had never shown him love and affection, so the shit had been foreign to him since he was a kid. If he wasn’t fucking, he really didn’t see the need to have a woman all in his personal space. It was little shit like that that made Jason even more sure that she’d be better off without him. Yeah, she’d be mad about it, but she’d get over it.
“You enjoyed yourself today?” Jason walked over to her, smiling as she nodded.
“I did. This was so needed. For all of us. I’m glad you made this choice, Jason. And I’m glad Kannon came, too. He needed to get away.”
“I agree. I need you to promise me something.”
Her head tilted as he wrapped his arms around her.
“Whatever you need.”
“Promise me that you’ll always look after him. You can get to him in ways I can’t. You know I don’t talk much or express my feelings well, and I for damn sure don’t give feelings beyond anger too freely, so he needs you now more than ever. Help him get through this, Mak.”
Her head nodded rapidly. “Of course.”
“No matter what, if anything happens to me, don’t ever leave him, aight?”
Makayla’s brows wrinkled as she stared at him. Her eyes blinked softly as she tried to remove herself from his grasp, but he held her tighter.
“I don’t like your tone. Is everything okay?”
He nodded. “Everything’s good. Just promise me. Shit has been crazy lately. I just need that reassurance.”
Makayla softened in his arms as she smiled. “I promise. If anything happens to you, I’ll remain in his life. Always.”
“Good.”
Jason tilted her head back and placed a kiss to her forehead. At six-five, he towered over her five-three frame. Wrapping her legs around his waist, Jason carried her over to the bed that was on the right side of the patio.
“I get scuba diving, sightseeing, a spa trip and dick all in one day? Let me find out I get this treatment when we spend some time apart.”
Jason chuckled as he laid her down on her back. “Shut your silly ass up,” he commanded softly. “You act like a nigga don’t spoil you.”
“You do, but not like this. I only get this kind of treatment with you for holidays and birthdays. You might send me on a vacation whenever I want, but it’s different when I get to experience things like this with you. I want you to spoil me with you. Your time.”
“You really love me, don’t you?” Jason realized as he hovered over her.
“More than anything in this world. I love you so fucking much, Jason Weaver, and I’m so happy to be here in this moment with you.”
Her declaration stabbed at his heart. Needing to keep himself from changing his mind about the plans he’d made, Jason lowered himself to her and kissed her. That wasn’t really his thing, but she loved it and it turned her on. She moaned into his mouth and spread her legs wider, invited him closer. As he continued to tangle his tongue with hers, Makayla’s hands slid under his shirt. Though he may not have cared for affection, especially public displays of it, Jason always weakened under her touch. And with them having the sound of the ocean’s waves as their music and wide, open sky for their backdrop… he couldn’t help but get a little emotional.
Kissing her deeper, Jason pulled her shorts and panties down her legs. She gasped when he spread them and began to kiss her inner thighs. They were always her most sensitive spot. Her pussy didn’t need to be ate because it was already soaking wet, as it always was when she expected his arrival inside of her. Still, knowing this would be their last time together had Jason wanting to make this shit extra special.
After undressing them both completely, he spread the lips of her pussy and latched on to her clit. She wasted no time moaning and grabbing the back of his head, keeping him right where she wanted him. As Jason entered her with two fingers, he locked eyes with her, dick throbbing at the feel of her nectar coating his beard. It wasn’t long before her eyes were fluttering and mouth parted as she came. Kissing his way up her body, Jason sealed his eyes tightly as they watered.
Pressing his way inside of her, Jason confessed, “I love you, Makayla. Never doubt that.”
She dug her nails into his shoulders as she inhaled a deep breath, giving her pussy time to invite all of him in before she replied with, “I love you, too, baby.”
Cupping his cheeks, their eyes remained locked as he began to stroke her. Jason bit down on his bottom lip and bit back a moan. Her pussy was already warm and wet. As her hands slid down his back, Jason lowered himself to her and kissed her, wanting to make tonight the best night she’d ever have…

Makayla
Makayla woke up with a smile on her face. Not only had Jason made love to her in a way that he never had before, he repeatedly told her he loved her, and that was also something he didn’t do. After their lovemaking session on the patio, they went inside and became one three more times before she passed out, only to be woken up by him again with his dick at her opening as the sun came up. She didn’t know what had come over Jason, but she wasn’t complaining at all.
Makayla could tell she was alone in bed, but she didn’t think much of it. Sitting up, she looked around their suite, smile wavering when she didn’t feel Jason’s presence. Her eyes lowered to his side of the bed, and when she saw the white piece of paper with his handwriting on it, Makayla’s heart skipped a beat. Convincing herself that Jason was out doing something with Kannon, she pushed her ill feelings to the back as she picked up the letter.
