Secrets

Chapter 26-HURT

A/N: Let's see if our couple can fix what's broken. Cyrus is dead, Charles is dead which means Max is neutralized and no longer a problem. Now our couple just have to navigate their feelings and trust in each other. I love me some Jay too. Will there be makeup sex? Maybe. Then there's the DNA test. Fitz doesn't care to know the results. Liv feels that the results are important in order to move forward. No secrets or situations can come back to hunt them or test their love/marriage. Let continue our journey and find out why this title a perfect fit for this chapter. Please excuse grammar/spelling errors I wanted to get this off my brain before I work tonight. I read over it several times, even used spell check but of course it wanted to change every damn word. Nope not happening. I intentionally use Ebonics here and there, hopefully I did a good job?.

Happy Reading!

Fitz had to sober up pretty quickly, so he had his driver stop at the nearest gas station and get him a black coffee with ice, and two bottled waters. He chugged the coffee before doing the same with the water. Finally, the car pulls up to his home. He pauses before getting up the courage to go inside. How can someone have such power of another's emotions? He shakes off his fear and slowly makes his way inside.

Liv was sitting on the sofa in a zombie like state when Fitz walked in. She leaps to her feet turning towards the entry way when she sees him. Her face is filled with emotions. She releases a sigh of relief as her emotions gets the best of her. She can't move, she can't speak, can't control the many emotions running through her. Fitz slowly makes his way to her still somewhat feeling the effects of the many glasses of scotch. "Livvie…" He whispers her name as he approaches her.

Her relief is seen in the many deep breaths and the will to not cry overtakes her. Her fear turned relief now turns to anger. How could he leave her in such a state of worry? He could feel the thick energy in the room. "Where the fuck have you been?" Pain evident in her tone

"Livvie I…"

SLAP

It was swift, it was powerful, it was rage filled, it was all she could do to release hurt and other emotions she was feeling. Fitz is taken by surprise as her hand connected with his face. The power behind it sobered him up whereas the coffee and water had not yet done. "Your dinner is in the microwave." She growls out after pushing him as she passes making her way upstairs to their bedroom slamming the door behind her.

Fitz stands there contemplating his next move. He needed to make this right. Fix what is broken. The fact she still made him dinner only made him feel worse. What better time to deal with the inevitable than the present? He made his way to their bedroom only to find the door locked.

Feeling defeated he heads for the 3rd bedroom accepting this is where he'd sleep tonight. As he makes his way. He stops at the nursery which is the 2nd bedroom next to he and his wife's shared room. He chuckles as he thinks of his beautiful babies. He steps inside and looks around, smiling to himself as the vision of their smiling faces comes into view. Then he hears it…the sound of a heart wrenching cry. The connecting door to the adjourning bathroom is open on both sides and Liv's cries radiate through the room. He quickly makes his way through the dark bathroom crossing the room to his bedroom. "Livvie?" His feet cannot seem to carry him fast enough as he enters the room to get to his crying wife. "Livvie, baby I'm so sorry." He kneels next to the bed pulling his wife into his arms after turning on the nightlight.

She tries to pull herself from his grasp, but he holds her tight "You left me all alone…I thought something happened to you." She cries out thumping her small fist against his

"I know and baby I'm so sorry, Livvie please forgive me? I was at the office baby, I lost track of time." He tried explaining but she only fought and cried harder "My, my phone was still on silent love, I would never intentionally ignore your calls." He pleads while lifting himself from the floor bring her weakened body with him. "I'm sorry love, I never meant to scare you. Please Livvie?" He begs as she slowly relents and stops struggling to get out of his arms. "I love you Livvie, baby I love you so much. I got caught up, I'm sorry baby. I need you to forgive me. Please say you forgive me Livvie, I love you." He continues as he feels her wrap her once limp legs around his waist.

"You hurt me." She declared with guttered emotion

"I know, and I'm sorry. Say you forgive me. I need you to forgive me." He emotionally pleads as he attacks her face and neck with kisses

"I forgive you." She digressed accepting his soft kisses "I love you too." Their lips connect with dire need. Liv needed to feel her husband's love, and Fitz needed to show his wife how much he loved her. The faint scent of his cologne and scotch gave her a sense of security knowing he had not been with another woman. She knew the sign of fresh soap, or freshly applied cologne would have told her otherwise.

This revelation gave her some relief, but she still needed Fitz to know she wanted only him. Her insecurities had come to the surface. She thought she pushed him too far. She thought he had left her, but here he was holding her, and she needed to show him how much she needed him. "I love you Fitz, I need you, I need to feel you."

He heard her and found relief in her words. She still loved him, she needed him. She wanted him and he would give her all of him. Their kisses were like a war of the tongues. Licking and swiveling in and out of each other's mouths. His cock hardened against her stomach, as her hand tightly grips and pulled at his curls all over his head. It was something about the way she ran her hands through his hair as she pulled and released at every strand. It turned him on more and more each time.

They were like two wild animals tugging and pulling at each one another's clothing. The buttons on Fitz's shirt went flying because Liv ripped his shirt open as his body toppled over hers. The t-shirt that belonged to him was pulled from her body and tosses uncaringly across the room. Her skimpy lace underwear was ripped from her body as she tugged at Fitz pants after pulling his belt from the loops that housed it. "Take them off, baby I need these off." She shuddered with bated breath as her own wetness started to spill from between her lower lips

They were both so consumed with the need to express how much they loved and needed the other that all rationality went out of the window. Nothing else mattered in that moment except the need to reconnect. Sex was a big part of their lives and what brought them together. The burning desire for one another always played a role in their union. This was another defining moment in that union. Reconnecting.

Clothing off, skin touching, lips connected, the temperature rising, the need for each other building, Fitz hands everywhere, Liv's calls of need and his name vibrating off of her lips, his moans spilling her name from deep within filled with desire expelled all of their fears. Tears fell from both of their eyes as their exploding emotions came front and center, leaving them both feeling naked and exposed.

The deep penetrating kiss left them both feeling venerable and burning with need to feel each other physically. Fitz nipping, licking, sucking Liv's lips, neck, breasts, and ears sent her into overdrive. She is bathing in his love when she reaches down between them grabbing his hardened manhood with the intention of guiding him inside of her. He quickly lifts his hips, knowing what she wants, makes room between their bodies allowing her to run his thick head along her folds so that he too could share in her dripping heat. "Mmm." He groaned before pushing his way inside of her after she strategically place his head at her opening. His burning desire urged him to push deeply causing them both to cry out.

There would be no control tonight, just two emotionally filled lovers throwing all caution in the wind. I love you's radiated throughout the room. The slapping of skin, the cries of pain…emotional and physical.

The depth of Fitz's thrust, the hardening of Fitz cock, the pulling of his hair, the biting of each other's lips, the sucking that left bruising marks of each other tongues was the cause of the physical pain. The cries of need, the spillage of Liv's swollen clit, the beating of each of their hearts, the two explosive orgasms without pause from a man on a mission, the four-mind blowing orgasmic releases from deep within the love of this same man's life. The physical contact and closeness putting the broken pieces back together. Their night of love making reconnecting the two was just what the doctor ordered and the release of all the emotional pain they both carried.

As they approach the finish line of yet another mind-blowing climax Fitz lifts himself up so he can see his wife's beautiful face. "Look at me Livvie."

She opens her eyes and daringly looks at her husband. "I love you baby." He expresses

"I…I…love…you…too." She studders out unable to speak complete sentences due to the depth of her husband's stroke

"I'll never leave you." He confesses continuing to grind his hips in a circular motion hitting Liv's g-spot deep within gliding against her cervix with each movement. "We're in this together. Say it, Livvie."

"We're in this together." She screamed out due to the building of a powerful orgasm approaches

Fitz begins to jack knife as Liv's cums fast and hard tapping out "Okay…okay…I ca…I can't, Fi…itz, ohhh goddd, mmm…mmm…mmm." He finally releases another soul shattering ejaculation, spilling into his wife for the third and final time. He continues to slowly grind into her, loving the feeling of being inside of his wife, as her moans slows into silence. How he managed a 3rd erection in one night was something only his Livvie was able to do. Everything about her excited him in ways he's never felt nor experience since meeting her.

He slowly pulls out of her extremely wet canal, his exhausted body unable to go any further slides next to his wife. He notices she's extremely quiet and softly calls to her. "Livvie?" She doesn't answer because she has fallen asleep. His mind goes back to their first time together, the only difference is this time he will be there when she wakes up. He pulls his wife close wrapping her in his arms and joins her, falling asleep just as quickly to wiped out to even turn off the light.

…..

The blaring sound of Liv's phone penetrates their ears along with it vibrating on across the nightstand. Due to the nightlight still on, Liv looks at the device, catching it just as it was about to fall to the floor. She looks at the clock as it read 3:40 am. "Hello." Her groggy voice sounds through the receiver

"Liv, oh my god OPA is on fire." Abby's panicked voice communicates

"On fire! What do you mean on fire?" Liv jolts up wide-eyed as she feels her husband's hand rub her thigh as he is now awake too

"On fire, like burning, full on flames and black smoke. You have to get down here…now Liv now!" Abby yells

"We're on our way. Contact the team." Quickly hanging up she turns to Fitz "OPA is on fire."

"Let get dressed." He spurts as he leaps from the bed "I'll start the shower."

Liv goes to get out of bed then stops "Fuck my legs are sore." She comments to herself but continues anyway pushing through the pain. The couple quickly take a joint shower before getting dressed in record time. "Don't the building have sprinklers?" Fitz questions as they make their way to OPA

"Yes, I hope its not too bad." Liv states while twirling her wedding ring. Fitz reaches for her hand and kisses it to calm down her nervousness.

What they see when the pull up is beyond their belief. They slowly get out of the car as the site before them becomes real. "What the fuck?" Fitz not talking to anyone but lets the words spill from his thoughts

"Baby it's really on fire." Liv chokes in disbelief

Abby spots her and Fitz and runs over to them followed by Huck "Abby what happened? How…where…?"

"I'm not sure yet Liv. Huck called me and told me the building was burning. He said he couldn't reach you."

Liv turns to Huck as he approaches "Huck?"

"I received an alert from my system. It was burning when I got here. Looks like it started on the 3rd floor. The sprinkler system must have malfunctioned for the building to be burning at such a high rate."

Fitz walks to the fire captain to find answers. "Excuse me captain, what happened here. Do you know how this started?"

"We're not yet sure sir, but my guess is somewhere on the middle floor. Do you know who owns this building?"

"My wife does." He turns to where the team was standing "Liv honey." He calls out motioning for her to join him. She does "This is my wife Olivia Pope-Grant, she owns the building."

"Hi ma'am, it looks like it may have start on the 3rd floor. We've got it contain as to not spread to other buildings but it's a total loss. The entire top of the structure is gone as you can see, we're just have to attack from the top now to douse it with water to put the remainder of it out. Did this building not have sprinklers?" He ends with a question

"Yes, it did. I don't understand why they didn't come on."

"Mrs. Pope-Grant…"

"Mrs. Grant is fine." She corrects

"Mrs. Grant once the fire is out our arson investigators will take a look at things, and well contact you with our findings. Until then there's not much you can do here."

"Was there anyone inside? Do you think this is arson?" Fitz questions as Abby and Huck joins them

"If I had to guess I would say it was electrical, seeing how it was inside the walls making it difficult to fight from the inside. We had to do an external attack. Wires tend to burn pretty fast. The flames were very intense when we arrived. It had been burning for quit some time before we were notified. Do you have insurance ma'am?" He questions turning his attention back to Liv

"Yes. I'll give them a call when they're open today." Liv responds still looking at her life dream go down in flames.

"I'm sorry I need to get back to my men." The captain shares after responding to his two-way walkie talkie before walking away

Liv turns to Huck "Huck you said you got an alert, what kind of alert?"

"There was a power surge, so my system shut itself down after downloading my files. The fire must have triggered my system. I can find out the origin that started it once I'm back home."

"Has anyone call Jay or Harrison?" The hurt of seeing their business burn to the ground

"I've been calling them both for the last hour. Neither is picking up." Abby answers.

Liv pulls out her phone and calls Jay then Harrison, but she too gets no answer. It odd for Jay not to answer his phone, especially her call. Harrison not so much. He was known to be in the company of some woman he picked up at a bar. She leaves Harrison a message but tries Jay again.

Jay not answering made Liv's antenna's go up. This was so unlike Jay. He always answered her calls. She decided to send him a simple text that he always returned or call back asap. 911 call me.

They all continued to watch as the fire department put out the fire of what was left of OPA. After about an hour she couldn't take anymore. Seeing her dream go down in flames leaving nothing left but external bricks barely standing broke her heart. After pulling herself from her husband strong embrace she finally decides to leave. "Huck can you stick around to secure and retrieve the fire safe? I don't want our files getting into the wrong hands."

"I got you Liv."

"I'm just gonna hang around here with Huck." Abby declares still in disbelief herself

"I'm going to stop by Jay's and see if he's home and if you hear from Har, have him call me." Stress lines now present on her face, Liv turns to Fitz "Babe, can we stop by Jay's before we head home? It's not like him to respond to my text or calls."

"Yes love, ready when you are." Fitz answers as his mind runs scenario after scenario of the timing of Liv's business catching fire. He could only hope and pray this was not intentional

…

"Let me try calling him again." Liv states as they pull in front of Jay's home but sees no sign of him being there. Fitz looks at her "Nothing?"

"Nope, still no answer." She answers as she looks around the property only seeing the light to his living area on.

"Did you try Harrison again?" He asks, "Maybe he's seen him?" Liv dials Harrison again but gets the same results.

"Can you peek in the garage and see if his car is here. I'm too short."

Fitz chuckles "Sure love." He gets out and walks over to the garage and peeks inside seeing the Audi A5 parked next to a Harley Davidson motorcycle before going back to the car. "Yes, baby his car and bike are here." Liv hangs up after trying him again and reaches inside of her purse to retrieve her keys. "I'm going inside. I need to see if he's in there. He may be hurt or something."

"Fine love lets go." Fitz agrees taking Liv hand after opening her car door. The two make their way to the front door. Liv uses her key and they both enter the home. "Jay." Liv calls out "Are you here?" She continues as they both look around.

"Is his place always this clean?"

"Yep, he an A-type personality. Jay it me Liv are you home?" She calls again, nothing. "Imma check his bedroom, if he's been drinking, he will sleep harder than usual." They make their way through Jay's condo reaching his bedroom finding the door closed. Liv knocks "Jay-man, it me Liv are you in here?"

What she and Fitz sees causes them pause and they both stops in their tracks. With a raised brow Fitz turns and goes back out into the hall. He had seen enough for a lifetime. Something he never thought he'd see with his own two eyes and something he never wanted to see again.

Not only was Jay's room a total wreck. There were empty bottles of liquor. Expensive bottles of Patron to be more specific along with open and unused condoms on the floor. Clothes were scattered about. The two men were in a drunk slumber with one of the men whom she recognized immediately laying with his head still in Jay's crotch. Fire of anger shoots through her "Jamieson Masters, Harrison Wright, wake yawl drunk asses up!" Hurt once again evident in her face

A/N: Oop! Is this why Jay and Harry gave each other a look in the last chapter? Yeah, this is exactly why.

Leave a review….Until next time….Keke
