Chapter 21:Grudge Match

Veronica

We seemed to be getting into a better routine once again since the strange encounter with Aaron. Logan has been very quiet about the whole thing, but I have been thinking about how to deal with any fallout that might occur when Logan finally breaks. I know he is stronger now, but Aaron is a hard subject for him.

"How are you this morning?" I say as I kiss his forehead. He smiles as he holds Lynn up above him blowing raspberries into her tummy.

"I am doing well this morning, and how about you," he counters as I sit up on the bed to look at him more closely.

"Just waiting for the other shoe to drop," I mutter causing him to tense slightly, but he nods his head.

"I know the feeling. I know it's been a couple weeks, but the idea of him being able to be free kills me," he says honestly as I take Lynn from him.

"I love you," I say as I kiss him roughly on the lips.

"Seriously, you have children in the room," Dick says as he enters our room carrying a super hyper Grace.

"Did you give her chocolate?" Logan asks as I see the smudges of brown that were half wiped from her face.

"No, man why would you say that," he mutters looking anywhere but at us.

"We told you if you got her hyper, you were the one to handle her," I say as I get up pulling Logan with me.

"I have a date," Dick mutters as I just shrug my shoulders.

"No swearing with her in the room," Logan demands as I watch Dick closing his mouth and following us out to the living room.

"Awe, Dick told you," Meg says laughing as she rubs her belly. Duncan was sitting next to her holding his hand against her stomach with a smile on his face.

"Come on you guys, she wanted some and I couldn't resist the head tilt," he mutters as there is a round of laughter. Yes, Grace had indeed inherited the infamous head tilt.

"Who are you going out with?" I ask as I sit down pulling Grace in between Logan and me.

"I asked Mac out?" he half mumbles.

"What, we couldn't hear you're mumbling?" Duncan chimes in holding a huge smirk on his face.

"I asked Mac out," he yells a little agitated that we were making a big deal out of it.

"You're going to treat her right, hold hands, no groping, or going to second base," Logan says as he stands up to look right at his friend. I am having a hard time suppressing the laughter at seeing Dick's face as he asked that question.

It was actually funny to watch Dick squirm in his shoes. Duncan looked from me to Meg and then back to Logan with an amused looking smirk. Dick was sweating as he tried to look like he wasn't worried. Then out of nowhere we heard laughter breaking the awkward silence.

"I really thought Dick was going to cave," I heard my dad say as he came into the room laughing with Alicia.

"Not cool," Dick finally says as he wipes his forehead.

"It was funny though," I say as Logan sits back down beside me. We all laughed at the way Dick seemed so nervous. I have never seen him this nervous ever. "It's going to be alright," I finally say getting up and walking over to him.

"I hope so because I really like her," he mumbles as I smile at him. Mac had spent a lot of time with all of us before and after Logan came back to us. She was a very important member of our group.

"Dick you're not the man-slut you use to be," I smugly say as his lips turn up into a small smile.

"No I am not," he says smiling fully now.

"But let me be very clear Richard Casablancas, if you give Grace any sweet sugary substance without us knowing how much. I don't care if you have a date with the President you will be staying here with her," I say as I jab him in the chest with my finger to emphasis my point.

"Okay, Ronnie I get your point. Stop jabbing me," he half snaps as I jab him once more just to annoy him.

"Fine," I mutter as I go back to the sofa and sit down picking up the remote to flip through the channels for a little while. I wasn't in the mood to go out with everyone else, and Alicia was going to take Grace with her while she does the grocery shopping. Dad need to get some paperwork from the office. Logan and I were the only ones at home with Lynn. Trina went into hiding with Joey a week ago with Connor.

"Sugarpuss what would you like to do while we have the house to ourselves," Logan asks as he trails kisses down my neck. I just closed my eyes a moment ago and now everyone was gone.

"Where did everyone go?" I question opening my eyes slowly.

"You fell asleep downstairs while everyone was getting ready; I carried you up here to finish your nap so that the noise wouldn't wake you. You've been napping for a couple of hours," he says continuing his kisses to my neck.

"Is our daughter here?" I ask softly as he nods his head.

"Alicia was going to drop Grace off with Jake, Meg and Duncan plan to spend the night over there. Your dad and Alicia will be going to dinner and you know them. Wallace is out with his girlfriend Jackie. Dick plans to go back to his dad's house for the night. Oh, and your little brother Darryl is staying at Woody Goodman's for the night," he says smiling as I get what has happened.

"Darling if you wanted to have sex all you had to do was post a note on the door to stay out," I say as he begins to tickle me. I am laughing and carrying on as we are getting at each other that we are out of breath.

"I love you Veronica," Logan says softly kissing my forehead.

"I love you too," I smirk at him as I go to straddle him. He runs his hands up my arms and back down them. I slowly move my hips over his very oversensitive member. I hear him hiss as I do the movement once again only a little harder this time.

"Veronica," Logan hisses as he grabs my waist to keep me from moving. I smile down at him as my hair falls forward. "I need you," he gasps out as he pulls me to the side to unstraddle him, but I dig my knees into the bed to stay where I was. I move my arms to the hem of my dress as I pull the material up and over my head. I am left in bra and underwear. Logan freezes as he takes in my half naked body. He flips us over so fast that I almost fell off the bed. He is now straddling me as he removes his shirt and somehow get his shorts off.

"God, Logan I love you," I say as I run my hands over his chiseled chest. I see the faint scars from the beating he took from his dad during the fire, but he was still so gorgeous. I felt him as he now began to gyrate into my pelvis with his member.

"So not fair," I muttered as I was getting wetter and wetter.

"I think it is after you did the same thing to me just moments ago," he snickers as I go to push him. The feeling in the deep of my stomach began to tighten as I was getting closer from his roaming hands to the gyrating we were doing. I was trying to match his movement with mine as I climbed higher and higher.

"Logan stop," I mumble as he continues. I go to push him off of me. I didn't want to come undone this way. "Logan," I mutter as he open his eyes slowly coming back to me.

"Vee," he rasps out as he stops. We are both panting and in need of some release, but I wanted him in me.

"I didn't want to come like that," I mumble as he chuckles.

"Here let's get out of these clothes," he says undoing my bra and pulling my underwear off. I notice he removed his boxers as well. I looked down at his fully erect member that was resting on my stomach. I would be lost without him in my life.

***LoVe****

Logan

God I loved the way Veronica made me feel. She was so damn good to me. I would hate for anything to happen to her because I would be lost without her. I kept my hands on her breast as she came down from her orgasm.

"Wow," she says as I finally pull out of her.

"It was that good," I smirk at her laughing.

"You really should think about going pro," she says as I kiss her neck.

"Only for you," I say as I turn slightly to look at the clock. "Lynn should be awake by now," I say as I go to get up.

"I'll go get her, meet me in her room," she says as she pulls her dress on over her head. I smile as I give her a slap to the bottom. "Ouch," she snaps as she jumps. I watch her leave as I go into the bathroom to freshen up. I pull on my shorts and smile as I run my hands through my hair. I am walking toward Lynn's room when I hear something drop.

"Veronica," I call out as I walk into the room only to feel a punch to the face. "What the hell?" I moan out as I try to get up only to feel a foot holding me down.

"Well hello there Son!" Aaron yells at me as I look up to see him holding my daughter in his arms.

"What do you want?" I snap as I see Veronica lying on the floor holding her hand to her nose where there was a small amount of blood.

"I came for you, but look what I found. I see your bitch gave you a little bitch," he yells as he grinds his foot into my stomach harder.

"I'll do anything you want. Just don't hurt my daughter," I grasp out as I am finding it hard to breath from his pressure on my stomach.

"You were always one who begged. I remember you begging me for that stupid yellow shit SUV. You begged me for a dog, but you never took care of it. Do you think you can take care of a child? Do you really think you are better than me?" he screams at me as he smashes me even more.

"Yes," I mutter as I kick my foot up knocking him off of me.

"I don't think so," he snaps as he shoves me into the wall with his free hand.

"I have never laid a hand on my daughter like you did to me. I have never even thought about hurting her like you are doing to me right now," I mutter shoving back into him. He loses his balance and goes to fall. He loses his grip on my daughter and I grab her just as Veronica comes rushing to me.

"Where are we going?" Veronica questions as I pass our daughter to her. We rush out the garage door to find both of the cars with flat tires.

"Neither of you are going anywhere," I hear Aaron yelling as I pull Veronica closer to me as we huddle up in the corner of the garage. "I really didn't think the two of you were that great together, but watching as you had sex makes me feel even more interested in Veronica. That was how I got into Lilly's life. She loved sex," he yells out laughing. Veronica is trying to hold it all together, but she looks like she is on the verge of shutting down.

"Come on," I whisper softly pulling Veronica toward the doggie door on the garage door. "You go first," I say as I see Aaron making his way into the garage. He goes to the first car as Veronica is out the door. I have to adjust and move side to side to get out.

"You little bastard," I hear Aaron yell as he slams his hands on the door just as I make my way out of the little door. Veronica is rushing to the side pulling something out of the bushes. I notice it right off the back. She had pulled a gun out. I reached for it, but she was holding it firmly as I reached for it a second time.

We are hiding in the bushes off to the side of the house. Veronica has a firm grip on our daughter as I am holding both of them to me. I notice Veronica even has a cell phone in her hand typing something out. I knew she wouldn't call someone with Aaron out here.

"Did you send a message to your dad?" I whisper as she nods her head. I can see a small bruise forming on her face from whatever Aaron had done to her before I entered the room.

"Where are you?" Aaron yells as I see him shoving things over. "I know you and that whore are out here," he screams as I hear sirens in the distance.

Two things happened at the same time Aaron turns to where we were hiding and Lynn decided that she wasn't happy with hiding in bushes. She starts crying as Aaron rushes toward us. I am trying to get the safety off as he jerks Veronica by the hair out from our hiding spot. I move as well to help her as he shoves me down beside her.

"I should have killed both of you a long time ago. I knew you were more trouble than you were worth," Aaron snaps as he moves his hand to my throat. I pull the gun and aim it into his chest as he realizes what I am about to do as he twists it causing me to push the trigger as I feel the bullet rip through me.

"Ah!" I scream as he shoves the gun deeper into my need injury.

"You bitch," he yells as I see Veronica scratching at him. She has distracted him long enough for me to twist the gun back toward him as I pull the trigger once again. The gun shot echoes in the darkness as I feel Aaron slump down on me with his full weight. I am finding it harder to keep my eyes open.

"Logan, stay with me," I barely hear Veronica saying as she is pushing Aaron's body off of me.

"Vee, I love you," I rasp out as she buries her head in my shoulder.

"Logan I can't do this without you. Please stay with me," she pleads as I hear all kinds of distorted voices yelling out things as I give into the darkness finally.
