Author's Note: I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update this story. I started watching old music videos I made of this couple and then watched all of the old JoVan episodes up on youtube. Now, my JoVan muse has come back and I think I might finish this one. Here's the next chapter and I promise I will try to update it and finish it in a timely manner. I hope you read and leave a review, thanks!
"So, how difficult was your escape plan?" John asked as he briefly looked over at his passenger, who was staring out the window at the passing scenery. He had purposely taken a very remote and scenic route one he was sure she had never traveled before and probably never even realized was in Llanview.
"Hmm," Evangeline sighed out as she turned to focus on the man beside her.
"How hard was it convincing your mother and sister to leave you alone for a while? Did they actually go to the museum exhibit?"
"It turns out it wasn't that hard at all," She stated as she lifted her head proudly and jutted out her lip a bit, something he noticed she did when she felt determined, "As you may know I can be very persuasive when I want to be," He nodded his head to this and smiled as she stared ahead at the road.
"Yeah, I'm well aware of how persuasive you are, especially, when you're determined to have your way," Evangeline giggled at his words, "I only asked because you rushed out to my car like you were being chased."
"Oh," She pouted a little bit at this, "That's because I was. My plan to sneak out before they awoke didn't work out so well. I forgot my mom likes to get up at the crack of dawn to start cooking a big breakfast, and Layla was always the first to be at the table."
"I see," John replied with a chuckle, "So, instead of explaining, you ran?"
"Exactly," She said with a smug smile and a nod of her head as she looked at him, just as another ping to her phone could be heard in the car.
"Maybe you should call them or at least reply to their texting," He suggested, "Because you Williamson women don't give up easily," He threw her a smirk and her smile widened. She then pulled out her phone and quickly texted a reply and then turned the phone off completely and put it back inside her purse.
"There, now they know where I am, who I am with, and that they need not worry."
"Oh, think if your sister knows you're with me, she's gonna worry," John said through a chuckle.
"You're right, you know you are public enemy number one to her. She spent most of the night trying to convince me not to see you anymore. She said our breakup hurt me a lot," He swallowed the lump in his throat as his jaw clenched. Hearing this made him sad, disappointed, but also mildly angry.
"Yeah, well, it hurt me a lot too," He said this as he cast her an earnest look before he focused back on the road.
"Then why didn't you fight for us?" Evangeline asked the question that had dwelled in her head since she awoke and found that they were no longer a couple.
"I tried to and my last attempt one drunken night, didn't end so well," He replied and at seeing her arch her brow it went on to explain. "I showed up at your door late one night, and I may have had a few shots of liquid courage beforehand. I shot my shot and as I said it didn't end well for me, you kicked me out."
"Yeah, I am sure I was not happy to have you show up at my door in the middle of the night drunk and looking to make a booty call," She huffed out as she folded her arms across her chest. She remembered none of these things but she was still miffed at his audacity.
"It wasn't like that. That wasn't my intention when I went there. I was trying to tell you that I missed you and I wanted to try again, though now as I recall it was mostly slurred and confused ramblings. And yeah, I did grab you and kiss you, but it had been a little while since you broke things off and I really missed you. I missed your smell, the feel of you in my arms, and the taste of you in my mouth. And you did reciprocate my advances," He claimed and she frowned a little in more confusion.
"If I was reciprocating then why did I kick you out?"
"Natalie-"
"Right, of course, it had to do with Natalie," Evangeline cut him off as she rolled her eyes slightly. "It's always about Natalie. I know I don't remember our break up but if I did it I know there was a very good reason, and I also am sure the reason had a lot to do with Natalie and your relationship with her," She sighed heavily as she raked her fingers through her long, thick tresses as she looked out the passenger-side window. "You know, maybe this isn't such a good idea. Maybe we should just let sleeping dogs lie, and not try to rekindle something that ended a while ago," At her words, John suddenly jerked his card off the main road and turned down a private dirt road. The move made Evangeline shoot wide, frightened eyes at him but she remained silent as she drove further down the dirt road a few minutes more, until the main road we out of sight. John then stopped, put the car in park, turned off the ignition, and then turned to face her head-on.
"No," He simply said and her brow furrowed.
"No?" She repeated.
"No, I won't allow misunderstandings to get in the way this time. I want another shot with you, Evangeline, and I am willing to put in the work this time," He confessed and it warmed her heart to hear it though she purposely kept her poker face. "I now know that the reason our relationship failed was because of me, and it wasn't because I couldn't be more open with you and express my feelings. It was because I wouldn't set boundaries and I was never clear about what I wanted and what I didn't want."
"John, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"I'm saying I'm sorry, Evangeline," He spoke this as he reached his hand across the middle console and grasped her left hand, which was settled on top of her lap. "I would tell you that there was nothing between Natalie and me but then I'd fly out the door leaving you alone whenever she called me. I would tell her that I was with you, but I would never tell her outright that I didn't want to be with her. I sent you both mixed signals. I'm not going to do that this time. So, let me make this perfectly clear, I want to try a new relationship with you. Even after everything that has happened between us, things I know you don't remember, I still want you and I always have. And I still love you," Those words pulled a gasp of shock from Evangeline, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, you heard right," He said and chuckled a little at her stunned expression. "It took losing you for me to realize that the words really do matter. And I should have woken you up the night when you fell asleep on me as I was telling you that I think I was falling in love with you, and I should have told you every day afterward because I felt it every day. So, no I don't think we should let this sleeping dog lie. I think he's been sleeping too long," When he finished his words, he let out a shaky breath and looked at her more coyly while she gazed at him in an expression that was hard for him to decipher. Before he could ask her what she thought she had leaped across the center console, grabbed him in her hands, and locked him into a deep delicious kiss. John's body instantly and instinctively responded as he gripped her body and tugged her more onto his lap as he deepened their kiss while groping her body desperately. Evangeline suddenly pulled from the kiss and looked into John's now frustrated eyes.
"Should we be doing this here?" She panted out and he released the tight hold he had on her.
"No, probably not," He huffed out and she slid from his lap back into the passenger's seat. Then after a moment's pause, he spoke again. "The backseat has way more room," He said as he began unbuttoning the black shirt he wore. She nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, there's definitely more room back there," She responded as she hurriedly hopped into the backseat and then yanked the light blue crop top, she wore over her head and off her body. John did the same with the black undershirt he wore and then joined her in the back seat. She allowed her eyes to rake over his body as she licked her bottom lip in anticipation of his kisses. He didn't keep her waiting long as he leaned his body into hers and recaptured her mouth with his. She willingly allowed herself to be pressed down with her back against the seat while his body lay atop hers. Neither had idle hands and they both pushed and yanked at their remaining clothes. Evangeline made quick work of John's belt, unbuttoned his black pants, unzipped them, and then shoved down the pants along with his black briefs. His long, thick member with its bulbous head sat fully erect and pressed against his abdomen. With the head just covering his belly button. Evangeline moaned at the glorious sight of him while she reached out, grasped his dick, and stroked it, making sure to brush her thumb over the head. Where his pre-cum was already seeping out due to his excitement.
John's eyes rolled closed to the touch of her heated hand as he subconsciously thrust his hip which made his cock slide in and out of her firm grip. With a low rumble in his throat, he focused his eyes down onto her body and he thanked God that she had decided to wear white khaki shorts. He easily unbuttoned the shorts and she lifted a little to help him pull them over and off her ass. Then he leaned back from her body to get them far enough down her legs until she was able to kick them off with her feet. Her underwear quickly followed the same trek as her shorts. He then removed her bra and once she lay beautifully bare before him, he paused a moment and drank her in. He had forgotten just how breathtaking she truly was. He had been sure up to that moment that he had memorized and burned every inch of her body to his memory. And it was always the image of her naked that he would conjure when he lay in bed all alone stroking himself. But what he had in his memory didn't hold up to the real thing. He thought she was absolute perfection.
"John, please," She called out to him breathless as she squirmed beneath him, and she recaptured his attention. He lay down upon her and she welcomely enveloped him into her embrace and she spread her legs wide to accommodate him and make their position more comfortable. John dropped his head to her chest and sucked the erect nipple of her left breast into his salivating mouth. "Yesss," Evangeline hissed out as she used her left hand to hold the back of his head, weaving her fingers within his soft dark locks. While she used her right hand to rake her nails down across his back until the hand settled upon his firm ass. They both throbbed in their excitement to the point of near pain. John released her nipple with a sloppy, wet smack and leaned up and pulled her back into a kiss as he thrust and buried himself completely inside her. Both arched their bodies, threw their heads back, and cried out to rejoice in their connection. Evangeline was definitely tighter than he had recalled and the grimace on her face showed that she felt some pain or discomfort, and so John waited as he kissed her face and whispered endearments in her ear until she set the pace. After a couple of moments, she kissed him once more and slowly swerved her hips and he matched her movements. Their movements started out slow with him thrusting in long, deep strokes, with her lifting up to meet him, pelvis to pelvis. Soon her wetness allowed him easier access and gave her only pleasure, and their movements increased and became manic. To any outside onlooker, it would have been very clear what the occupants were doing with the way the car bounced and rocked back and forth.
"Fuck! I've missed you, missed being with you like this," John panted out as he piston in and out of her mercilessly while she clung to him and cried out her elation to the sensations, he was invoking in her with every touch.
"God, you feel so good, John. Please don't stop … Please," She sobbed as tears in the brims of her eyes threatened to spill out. "No!" She groaned out as she felt him pull completely from her heat. But he didn't give her a chance to protest further as he had shifted them until his backside was now in the backseat, and she was straddling him. With both his hands on her hip he slammed her down onto his erection. He moaned deeply as she slightly screamed at the sudden and new position. Evangeline quickly adjusted and began to bounce up and down on John's lap and he latched on to her breasts, showing each his attention. She took in a sharp breath as her head fell backward along with her upper body. "I'm cumming!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. John wrapped his right arms around her back to keep her from completely falling over, while he gripped his left hand to her hip to leverage his thrusting. The way her walls squeezed him through her orgasm it didn't take him long to also find his release. He growled out a couple of expletive words as he coated her insides with his seed. He then tugged her body against his and held her in a tight embrace, that she welcomed as she rested her forehead against the nook of his neck. He placed soft kisses across her clavicle bone, shoulder, and arm. "There isn't a word in the dictionary to define just how amazing that was, Jesus," She huffed out as she tried to catch her breath and he chuckled as he nodded his head in agreement. After several moments of them holding their position and holding on to each other as they regained their breaths and bearings, Evangeline spoke again. She lifted her head from his shoulder and gazed down into his eyes. "Do you think this was a mistake? That it was too soon?" She asked and in reply, John reached up and entangled both of his hands and fingers in her hair and pulled her down to a deep, sensual kiss that left her breathless again when he finally released her.
"No, I don't think it was a mistake or too soon. I won't deny my feelings for you anymore nor deny ourselves the pleasure of each other's company. I want you and you want me too, right?" She nodded and smiled as she bit her bottom lip. "Then I'm yours, anytime, anyplace, and in any way, you want me, Evangeline. We've been given a second chance and I swear to God I will not let anything or 'anyone' cause me to miss out on it. Not this time, not ever again," He proclaim as he pulled her back down into a sweet kiss and began slowly thrusting his awakening erection within her again.
Hours Later
The reunited lovers found themselves laughing and stumbling at Evangeline's front door. John had walked her up and the journey had begun nearly thirty minutes beforehand but they had stopped the elevator a couple of times as they kissed and groped each other along the way. Now they stood at her door where John had her pressed against the door as he kissed her soundly. The action of the door swinging open would have caused them both to tumble across the threshold and down to the floor had John not had one arm secured around Evangeline's back and the other braced against the door jamb.
"What the hell are you doing?" Layla's angry voice reached their ears. John helped to steady Evangeline who lifted her right hand to her head where she smoothed down her hair.
"I was kissing John goodnight," Evangeline replied coolly as Layla's face took on a horrified look as she locked her glare onto John, who only smirked back at her.
"You son-of-a-bitch, how could you take advantage of my sister like that?"
"Don't you curse my boyfriend and his mother like that," Evangeline hissed out as she took a threatening step toward her sister, but John gripped her arm to still her movements before the moment turned volatile. Layla quickly took a step back for she knew all too well when to fold if she made her older sister mad at her.
"Wait, your boyfriend?" Layla repeated as disbelief graced her face.
"Mhm-hm," Evangeline hummed out with a smile and nod of her head. "And if anyone has a problem with that, tough noogies. I don't care. I also don't want to hear their lip about it, and if they can't respect my choice they can get the hell out of my house," She stated as she and John still stood on the other side of the threshold while Layla stood with her hand holding the door. Their mother, Lisa, had heard it all as she busily set the table with the dinner she had cooked, and she spoke out.
"I'm just happy you are here with us, Cookie, and I do not plan to make past mistakes of trying to tell you what to do with your life, or who you should be with," Lisa stated as she moved and grasped a fourth plate and silverware and set another place at the table. "But that does not mean that I won't do you harm if you ever hurt my daughter, John McBain," She said this as she pointed the butterknife she held directly at him, and he nodded his understanding.
"Yes ma'am," John replied with a smile. It relieved him to know that Lisa wouldn't give them a hard time about their rekindled relationship. "I also don't plan on making the past mistakes that caused me to lose your daughter. And I've promised her that I will not allow anything or anyone," He looked at Layla as he said this. "To come in between us. And I'm not looking for nor do I need anyone else's blessing to be with Evangeline, except Evangeline's."
"Damn right," Evangeline chimed in with a wide grin on her face. Layla rolled her eyes as she moved from the door and toward the kitchen to help their mother.
"Fine, whatever. Come in and join us for dinner, John. But go wash your hands first. Oh," Layla then leaned back towards them and spoke in a low voice so Lisa wouldn't hear her. "And I know what you two have been doing, with your crumpled clothes and wild hair."
"So, we're two consenting adults," Evangeline countered as she arched a brow to her little sister.
"Well, I hope you 'adults' used a condom because we took you off your birth control pill after you went into the coma," Layla stated as she sent them a gloating smile while she walked away. John and Evangeline stared at Layla shelled shocked for a few seconds and then looked at each other before they slowly trekked inside and closed the door behind them.
Ooh a cliffhanger, don't worry this time I will not keep you waiting years for the next chapter :) More to come soon!
