Fight for me

Chapter Nine

I felt myself waking up and tried to blink my eyes open but they were so sore and swollen from crying so much. I felt James crawl in behind me and wrap his arm around my waist. He nuzzled his face into my neck and I relaxed into him, sighing. I didn't want to think about what was happening, I just wanted to lay here and enjoy being with him.

 We lay silently for a while and I slowly started opening my eyes, tears began to pool again as i noticed  our surroundings. We weren't at home in bed, this hadn't been some bad dream. It was real and I needed to know what was about to happen. I pulled away from him and sat up, looking at my feet dangling from the bed. 

"Rosa?" I heard James say as he sat up behind me, when I didn't speak he brought his legs around to sit behind me, his thighs on mine, and he wrapped me up into him. I willed my tears away, they wouldn't fix anything and I asked 

"What do we do now?" 

He let out a sigh. "I spoke with my sister and she is working on getting us new identity's" he paused for a moment "but for now, we need to keep moving" he finished. 

I stood and nodded my head. "Can I get changed?" I asked noticing I was still in my pyjamas 

"Of course. I packed you some things in your duffel" he said.

I walked over to the bag and pulled out a pair of yoga pants and a plain white t shirt. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I placed my hands on the sink and looked up into the mirror. My eyes were bright red and I had bags lacing them. I didn't look like me, I looked older. I thought James would be my saviour, my hero but I was wrong. He brought me into his life and flipped my world upside down. But if I hadn't of met him I would still be stuck in that house with Steve, getting rapped and beaten over and over and I couldn't think of which fate would have been worse. 

I quickly changed and walked out to see James sitting in the same spot I had left him. His head was tilted down to the ground and he had his hands clutched together. He looked so sad. I stopped and starred at him for a while, my feelings for him not changing. I loved this man and I couldn't blame him for his past. Yes he had hurt people, killed people but he did it all to try and save his brother. He wasn't an awful person, he was a good man who was in a f****d up situation. It was my turn now, my turn to save him. He fought for everyone else in his life time, now it was my turn to fight for him. 

I clenched my fists together and forced every once of courage I had to the surface. I walked over to him and knelt In front of him, it was then I noticed the tears that stained his cheeks and I almost started crying again, but I had to be strong for him. I brought my hands up and wiped away his tears with my thumbs. 

I smiled at him "It's okay" I said trying to sound confident but my voice broke "we will be okay" 

His brow furrowed as he looked at me "Rosa?" He asked seaming confused "Rosa!" He said loudly and grabbed hold of me smashing my lips to his. 

I whimpered as the force almost winded me. He was grabbing at me, trying to pull me closer. I jumped up and into his arms straddling him and matching his ferocity. I felt his c**k harden underneath me, making me wet and needy. He quickly flipped me and lay me on the bed placing himself on top of me. 

"I need you, please" he begged. I understood, I'm sure he thought I would leave, that I would run in terror from him. He needed to know I was still his, and I needed to give him that reassurance 

"Yes" I breathed out and he quickly pulled my pants off before placing his tongue around my entrance and delving in. I moaned out but it's not what he needed, I grabbed him by his hair lifting his head 

"I'm wet, i'm already wet, please"  he frowned at me but removed his c**k from his shorts, not fully removing them and pushed himself inside of me. He let out a groan as he quickly started thrusting inside of me. A tear escaped my eye from the small amount of pain it was causing me. He moved his face to kiss me and he breathed out my name. I was trying to find my release but my mind was so fuzzy with confusion and so many unanswered questions. 

He kissed me harder, willing me to focus. I felt him grow inside of me and I knew he was about to c*m. The sudden growth clearing my mind and making my pleasure grow. I gasped out as I felt him filling me with his c*m and he reached down to circle my c**t. I moaned out as my orgasm hit me. It was dull, but it was all my body could manage. 

He collapsed into me "I'm so sorry Rosa" he repeated as he placed kisses around my face and down my neck. When he stopped he sighed. "We should get going" he said regretfully. 

I only nodded, I couldn't form words right now. He grabbed my pants from the floor and pulled them up my legs, before I stood he grabbed a hand full of tissues and placed them on my opening 

"Stand up" he commanded and when i did I felt him start to leak out of me. He always thought of everything, how could I not love him? He wiped away the excess liquid and pulled my pants up, disposing of the tissues in the bin. He grabbed our bags and walked me out the door, down to the car. We hopped in and drove to a car yard. He traded in the Honda of an old pick up truck and we kept driving for a few more hours. We stayed silent most of the way until his phone rang 

"Nat?" He answered. He nodded at what ever his sister was saying on the other end of the phone, then I seen him tense "Yes Nat, and don't start" he said "No, it's not possible" he sounded angry now. "Yes! I'm f*****g sure" he let out a sigh and said "thank you" before he hung up. 

He was silent for a little while, and curiosity was killing me, I had to ask 

"Sooo? You going to tell me what that was about?" 

"It was nothing" he said, "Natasha gave me directions of where we need to go" 

"And?" I pushed 

"And nothing" he said 

"I seam to recall you spanking me the last time I wasn't fully truthful with you. So are you going to pull up and bend over or are you going to tell me what she said?" 

He laughed, but it didn't sound genuine. He reached over to hold my thigh "Firstly she gave me s**t about your age, then she asked if I trusted you, she thinks it was someone new in my life who gave away my identity and she thinks it was you" 

"What!?" I spat out "how could she think that?" 

"It's okay, she believes me. I know you would never do that" he reassured. 

"Those men I ran into, is that who we are running from" i asked. 

"Yes" was all he said. 

"What if it is my fault?" I said out loud 

"What do you mean?" He asked. 

"The first guy I ran into, he asked if he could walk me home. I said no because my boyfriend was expecting me home any minute. What if he followed me and that's how he found you?" I would never forgive myself if i was the one who ruined everything.

He gave me a reassuring smile "I doubt it baby, he was probably already in the area watching us and ran into you on purpose" 

I relaxed a little at that. The car fell silent again as we drove towards our destination. It was nearing night fall when we arrived at a small rural airport. I looked around and noticed the area was empty, nothing but a shed and a tower. There were no cars or planes or people in site. I looked over at James as he pulled up along side the shed. 

He looked at me and gave me a small smile. "You ready?" He asked. 

I took a deep breath. No, I was far from ready for this. This was not how I expected my life to go, but if this was the path I was meant to be on, then I was glad it was with James. 

"As I'll ever be" i answered. 

He turned the car off and hopped out. Grabbing our bags from the back seat he walked around and opened my door, he gave me his hand and I placed mine in his. We walked to the front of the shed were I noticed a jet plane. It looked out of place, so sleek and modern against it's worn down surroundings. I noticed a man walking out from under it's wing 

"Mr King?" The man asked, James nodded as a reply. "Right this way" the man said gesturing us towards the door.  

We walked up the stair case and into the cabin. It was larger then it looked from the outside and beautiful, it was decorated with four white chairs, two on either side facing each other with gold details added. The floor was carpeted grey and the walls white. At the back their was a wooden door, I'm assuming the bathroom. Not bad for my first time in the air. 

"Because this was arranged so last minute it's only me with use today" the man said, he must be the pilot. "There is food and beverages in the mini fridge and sleeping quarters with ensuite in the back. If use could take your seats I'll let you know when it is safe to roam the cabin and please make yourselves comfortable, were in for a long flight with one refuelling stop" he said. 

A long flight ? We're could we possibly be going? I walked over to one of the seats and James sat in front of me. 

"Where are we going?" I asked 

"I don't know yet" he said. "are you doing okay?" He asked 

I started to nod my head "yeah, totally. But like if I'm being completely honest, I'm a little nervous, I've never been on an aeroplane before" I admitted. 

He smiled at me. "It's okay baby, you'll love it"  

"I hope so" i said nervously

"Wait here" James said before standing and walking over to the mini fridge and grabbed something out. He handed me two mini bottles of scotch and one of tequila. 

"Daddy are you trying to get me drunk" i eyed him sceptically and he laughed, 

"No baby, there for your nerves. Drink one now and it might help you relax" 

I took them and downed the entire tequila, savouring the burn. "Nope, didn't help" I said and he smiled at me. 

"Maybe let it kick in first?" He was clearly amused. 

"Just to be safe" I said as I opened one of the scotches and finished its contents. We started to move and before I knew it we were in the air. The pilot announced over the speakers that we were okay to move about, but I couldn't stop staring out the window, it was beautiful. 

"Are you tired?" James asked me 

"Not really" I replied 

"Do you feel like a shower?" he asked

"I would love one, but he said it would be a while before we landed" I replied. 

He held his hand out to me. "come on" he said 

I took his hand in mine and he lead me to the back of the plane were the wooden door was and I walked through. 

"Whoa" I couldn't believe what I was seeing. On the left side there was an open planned shower with a spectacular piece of glass separating the area. Further back there was another door, probably the toilet and on the right was a huge King size bed. I walked into the room further as James walked over to lay in the middle of the bed with his arms behind his head and his legs crossed. He nodded his head towards the shower that was directly in front of him. 

"Go on, hop in" he said. 

I giggled, it was probably the alcohol kicking in but I walked over to the shower and turned it on. I moved closer to the bed and removed my shoes. I took a step backwards and slowly pulled down my pants, I wiggled my butt a little and chuckled, his face lit up with a smile. I took another step back, closer to the  shower and pulled my shirt over my head and discarded in to the floor. I slowly moved my hand behind my back to undo my bra, I pulled one strap down, then the other and let it fall to the ground. I moved to stand by the showers entrance and slowly bent over removing my underwear, I held them in my fingers and slingshot them towards James. He caught them with a smile before bringing them up to his face and smelling them, i crinkled my nose at him as he let out a soft groan. 

I made my way under the stream of the water and relished in the feel. I grabbed the loofah and squirted baby wash onto it, starting with my legs I bent and lathered myself up, finishing at my breasts. I washed off the bubbles and started massaging my breast letting a small moan escape my lips, if he wanted a show I was determined to give him a good one. I let one of my hands travel down towards my now aching core and moaned loudly as my fingers starting circling. I closed my eyes at the pleasure it sent through my body and swung my head back. 

"Stop" I heard James command and my fingers instantly stopped. I looked down and noticed he was naked, stalking towards me. He entered the shower and pushed himself against my back causing me to slam into the glass panel. He moved his hand down over my butt and pushed my legs open further, sliding his fingers towards my c**t. 

"This isn't yours to touch anymore" he said "It's mine! And you won't touch it again unless I give you permission. Understood?" 

"Yes" I moaned as he continued rubbing me. 

"Good girl" he praised. He removed his hand "Now turn" he commanded and I obeyed, turning to face him. 

He grabbed my thigh and placed it around his hip, he slid two fingers inside of me and I gasped out at the sudden intrusion 

"Now, be a good little girl and c*m for me so I can f**k you senseless" he said kissing my neck. I did and 4 mind blowing orgasms later we both lay on the bed panting for air. I dragged my numb and shaking body over to cuddle into him before sleep took over my exhausted body. 

I woke to the sound of the pilots voice, my eyes instantly widened and I shot up looking around to find the man who had just spoken to us. 

"It's okay baby" James said as he started tickling my back "it's over the speakers" 

I visibly relaxed, thank God. I lay back into his arms and he wrapped himself around me 

"What did he say?" I asked. 

"He was just letting us know that we are about to land so he can refuel. We should probably go take our seats" 

I made a sound of protest as I stretched out under him. He smiled as he came down to kiss me, 

"Come on cutie" he said before standing up and walking over to our bags. He pulled some clothes out and quickly got dressed. He reached back in and pulled out a pair of denim shorts and a black t shirt for me. He walked over to the end of the bed and I reluctantly moved my aching legs to hang over the side of the bed. I tried to stand but my legs buckled from underneath me and I fell to the floor 

"s**t" I heard James say as he ran around to kneel in front of me. He had a smile on his face as he asked "you okay?"

 I squinted my eyes at him "yeah I'm great, loosing my ability to walk is super awesome" I said sarcastically. 

He laughed at me before picking me up and sitting me on the bed. He helped me get dressed and walked me out to sit in our seats. A few minutes after we landed the pilot came out and informed us he wouldn't be longer then 20 minuets and walked out. 

I looked out the window for any indication of where we were but couldn't see any tell tale signs. Just then I heard foot steps coming up the stairs and my head shot over towards the door. In walked a beautifully tall woman, she had light Sandy hair that she wore up in a bun and a plain navy suit. Her eyes landed on me and I stilled, her gaze piercing me as if she was trying to get me to reveal all my secrets, and I wanted to, I just didn't know what they were. 

"Nat" I heard James say and i removed my gaze to look at him. It was his sister, I seen his face light up as he looked at her. He stood and walked over to her, embracing her in a hug. 

"It's good to see you brother" she said as she hugged him back. They both walked over to me and James sat in his seat as his sister sat across from us, she crossed her legs and scooted her butt to the side to face us. 

"You must be Jane" she said holding a hand out towards me 

"Um, it's rose" I said shaking her hand. 

"Not anymore" she said breaking our contact and handing me a manilla envelope, it was heavy. She handed one to James as well. I eyed the envelope in my hands reluctant to open it. In side it would tell me who I was and where we were going but I didn't want to know anymore. 

"You are now Mr and Mrs Jane and John Grey, newly Weds who relocated to Provins, Paris France for a new start. Jane, you are 19 and completed your high school certificate, Born March 8th 2001. John.." she started to say but I zoned her out. I felt my body going numb and tears started to pool in my eyes. In two sentences she told me who I now was, a newly wed at 19. My hands started to shake as my mind ran a million miles a second. I was grounded when I felt two hands placed on top of mine. I looked up to see James or Dimitri or john, whatever his name he would always be my safe place. 

"Please memorise everything on your fact sheet as they will not be leaving the plane with you" Nat finished. 

My tears fell silently as I looked up at her "You will be okay Jane" she said reassuringly and I nodded my head. 

She stood to walk out and James followed her, they stopped by the door and we're talking about something before they hugged and she left. James walked back over to me and knelt down at my feet. 

He held my hands in his "Are you okay baby?" he asked

"Mmhmm" I barely whispered nodding my head, he sighed and placed his head in my lap. He kissed both my hands before sitting in his seat, never letting go of me. 

He lent forward "I'm truly sorry for getting you into this. I should have never..." He began to say before I interrupted him 

"Stop" I said as fresh tears streaked my face "I can't imagine my life without you in it, and if this is what we have to do to be safe and together then so be it" 

"Rosa I..." He looked into my eyes and moved one of his hands up to cup my cheek "I love you" he said before quickly covering my lips with his.

I felt my heart beat faster as I grabbed the back of his neck, deepening our kiss. We explored each others mouths as he pulled me into his lap, holding me tight against him. We were both breathless as we broke our kiss, I traced my fingers along his jaw line 

"Well you should, were God damn married now" I said and he chuckled "I love you too" I said placing a peck on his red lips. 

He pulled me into him, resting his head in the crevice of my neck, my cheek resting atop his head. We stayed like that until the pilot came back instructing as to take our seats. I kissed him again before moving to my chair. 

Take off didn't take to long and we were in the air again. I was starring at the manilla envelope sitting on the floor, willing my hands to pick it up but they wouldn't move. 

"Do you want me to open it?" James asked. I shook my head, "Do you want to read mine with me?" 

I drew in a deep breath, before agreeing. I shifted to sit in his lap, my back fitting perfectly under his arm and my legs flung over the arm rest, hanging in the walk way. He carefully ripped off the top of the envelope, he tipped the heavy contents into his hand and out fell a phone, a passport, a few credit cards and a ring. 

He placed the envelope on my lap and picked up the ring. It was a plain silver band, he sat the phone, cards and passport down and held the ring in his fingers, staring at it. He kissed my cheek before placing it on his ring ringer. 

Images of James and I popped into my mind, me in a white dress and him a beautiful tux. I mentally sighed, that option had been taken away from us. 

"You okay?" James asked 

"Yep" I lied, 

"We can always renew our vows you know?" he said.

I turned my head to look at him "How do you do that?" I asked 

"What?" He replied 

"Read my mind" I chuckled and he smiled up at me. 

"Because, since the day I saw you I felt connected to you. Your my sixth sense Rosa. I can tell when your happy, or sad. When your lying or when your horny" he said pinching my n****e "I can just sense it baby" 

I sighed into him "I love you" I said again and he kissed my forehead 

"Back at ya baby" he said as he grabbed the envelope in one hand and pulled the rest of it's contents out, they were mainly papers, a fact sheet on who he now was and where we were from, a birth certificate, marriage licence, bank statements and details, and where we were going.   

"Is this what it was like when you came to Australia?" I asked. 

"Basically, except without the marriage license" he said.

My heart broke at the thought of James doing this on his own. No one to confide in, no one to hold him when his emotions took over. I grabbed him around his shoulders, 

"I'm so sorry" I said as fresh tears began to form again 

"You have nothing to be sorry for angel" he said holding me tighter. 

I let go and reached down for my envelope. "You do it" I said handing it to him. 

He ripped it open and caught the heavy objects in his hand. He quickly grabbed the ring and placed it on my finger. I eyed the object, it was a simple slim silver band matching his 

"What no rock?" I joked, but I sounded nervous. 

"One day soon baby" he replied. 

I pulled out my paper work and read. 

Name: Jane Grey

Husband: John Grey 

Married: 10th January 2020

Birthday: 8th March 2001

Place of birth: Marylands, Sydney, Australia

Schooling: High school graduate, top of her class. 

The rest was information about about where I had lived and grew up. I found my marriage certificate, new birth certificate and credit cards. I read about where we were going to be living. 

Home: Provins, France Facts: located 1hr 22mins from Paris by train. Provins is a town in north-central France near Paris. Its medieval architecture includes high ramparts with fortified gates, and the stone Tithe Barn. The barn was used as a market when Provins was a medieval trading hub and host of a major annual trade fair. With views over Provins, the hilltop César tower dates from the 12th century. The town's underground tunnels feature centuries-old wall inscriptions.

It sounded so beautiful and other worldly, yet I couldn't get thoughts of home our of my mind. It had only been a day and I already missed Lily, I missed James's bed and the gym. I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never see those things again. I sighed. 

"What is it Rosa?" James asked. 

"I.. I just wish I got to see Lily before I left" he held me tighter 

"You can call her when we land, if you'd like" he said. 

"I have to. She's probably freaking out right now" 

"I'm sorry baby" James said as he kissed my cheek. 

"No more sorry's okay? it's not your fault" I held my left hand out in front of me. "Mrs Grey huh?" I said.

 James webbed his fingers into mine, showing off both our rings. 

"And Mr Grey, kinda has a ring to it" he said and I giggled into him. 

"You know, we haven't consummated our marriage yet" I said and he laughed

"So needy baby, do you think your legs can handle more?" He asked, playing with the ring on my finger. 

"Only one way to find out daddy" 

After f*****g me through two spectacular orgasms we lay in bed for the rest of the journey. We slept, we talked and we ate. We re-read about our new lives, trying to memorise everything before we tore up the fact sheets and discarded them. 

James placed our new documents into his duffel bag and we quizzed each other about who we now we're. I tired to come to terms with the fact that I was now Jane Grey and honestly I was a little pissed at how ordinary the name was, I mean, a little imagination wouldn't have hurt. We took our seats when the pilot announced we would be landing soon and nerves shot through me. I held my hands out for James to take and he scooped them up instantly, kissing each one. 

"You ready Mrs Grey?" He asked, I smiled up at him. 

"As I'll ever be, Mr Grey" 

When we exited the plane, it was night time, the air was crisp and cool and smelt different to home. Goosebumps formed on my skin and I held my arms around myself, trying to warm up. 

"Here you are" the pilot said handing a set of keys to James, "the car over there is yours until you decide otherwise. The GPS has your home address saved into it so you shouldn't have any troubles finding it. Be safe and enjoy your new life here guys" 

We walked over to the car and James placed our luggage into the back seat. When he turned the car on I fiddled with the GPS and found our location. It was about an hour's drive from where we were. We pulled out of the air field and made our way towards our new home. 

"Do you know what time it is in Australia right now?" I asked. "I think there about 8 hours ahead of us, why's that?" He asked. 

"I was thinking of calling Lily" I looked at the time on the cars clock and seen it was 10pm, probably to early to call but I tried my luck. I pulled one of the phones we were given out of the duffel bag and noticed it was filled with money, I froze, 

"Why... How do you have this?" I asked James. 

He paused for a moment before answering. "It was what I managed to save when I was with the mafia. We can get it converted" 

"Oh" was all I said. 

I figured it was about 6am in Australia as I dialled in Lily's number. It rang a few times before a sleepy sounding Lily answered "hello?" 

"Lily?" I said 

"Rose? Is that you? Who's number is this?" She asked

I sighed "Yeah it's me" 

"Where have you been? I've been trying to call you for two days now. I went by your house and your step dad said you hadn't been home for weeks. Are you okay? Where are you? Do you need me to come and get you?"

Too many questions, I tried to sound confident "I'm okay, I.. I had to leave" 

"What? What do you mean you had to leave? Where are you?" She asked, her voice so full of worry. 

Tears started to pour down my cheeks and I felt James hand on my thigh. "I can't say, but I'm safe and I'm okay" 

"Your safe? From what?" She was getting mad "Rose what the f**k is going on?" 

I was sobbing now "I'm so sorry Lily, I have to go" 

"No! Rose.." I heard her say as I ended the call. 

I held my face in my hands and let me tears fall. James continued to rub my thigh and squeezed every now and again. I felt horrible, there was an ache in my chest that wouldn't stop hurting, she would never forgive me. 

"Baby?" I heard James worried voice as my tears began to lessen. 

"I'm okay" I tried to say as I wiped away the remaining tears from my cheeks "it just hurt more then I thought it would" 

"Baby I'm so..." He was about to apologise again, i'm sure of it. I needed him to see that it wasn't his fault. "It shouldn't be to much longer" he said. 

"Hey" I said to grab his attention "I know you didn't mean for any of this to happen, and in a perfect life I'm sure we would have met and lived happily ever after. But life isn't perfect, were dealt the cards we were given and it is up to us to decide what to do with them. It sucks that I will probably never get to see my friends again, but we are given one chance to be with our soul mates and I'm sure that your mine. So no more apologies, no more bad thoughts or what could have been. I would be stuck in a house with an abusive r****t if not for you and I thank my lucky stars everyday that you found your way to me. This is our new life, our new forever and I'll be damned if we don't take full advantage of it"
