HEARTS DIVIDED: TELICO
by tarskeewee08
Walking out onto the deck where John sat drinking his beer she looked at the blue sea and stars sparkling behind it. She walked behind him putting her hand on his chest staring into the night with him. John took her hand and brought to his lips kissing it tenderly.
"KJ
sleep?" he asked
"He sure is" she said taking a seat next to
him. "It's so beautiful and peaceful out here."
"That's
because we're sharing it together" he said softly.
"What
do you plan to do John?"
John looked at her confused "Do?"
"Yes
will you go back to the agency? What happens next?"
John looked back at the ocean and sighed. The waves rolled in and slid back to the sea in a continuous rhythm He hadn't thought about his job and what to do about it.
He loved his job, partly because it was his escape. The man he became in the last two years was unrecognizable. The demands of the Homeland Security unit he worked for would not fit into his life. "I think I will speak to the Commissioner at the LPD and see if I can get a position there."
"So
you want to stay in law enforcement" she asked disappointed.
He
looked at her confused "Is that a problem?"
Looking at the sea
and avoiding his eyes she swallowed the lump in her throat. She
didn't want to do it again, project her fears onto him. "I was
just hoping that you would choose something less violent" she said
weakly.
Reaching to her he grabbed her hand. "I understand why you would be concerned. Kelly and I struggled with this too"
Evangeline knew how Kelly Cramer dealt with it and had no intentions of employing her tactics "What did you two come up with?"
"I'm embarrassed to say that I failed her Van, I ignored her concerns and if it wasn't for our success in her getting pregnant I could have lost her. She was patient with me and I took that for granted. When she told me she wanted a family I saw it as our second chance, before my absence and her growing boredom drove us apart. I knew she hadn't given up on our marriage because she wanted a family with me. I made that happen for us. It was the key to me getting my priorities right. Just as KJ is the key to me having focus now. I promise baby my job will never interfere in our lives."
Evangeline squeezed his hand and nodded. "That's enough for me. I'll support you in whatever you choose to do."
"I do want to talk about something Evangeline" he said letting go of her hand and picking up his beer. She watched him drink it, she had a feeling that he was nervous as to how to approach the subject with her.
"What is it?"
"I want us to get a place of
our own. One that I buy for you and KJ."
Evangeline looked at
him shocked. "You what?"
"I love your ranch and I think we should definitely keep it especially for the horses. But I don't want that to be our primary residence. You aren't a Buchanan and neither is KJ."
Evangeline chest tightened. She understood his need to provide for them but the Buchanan's were her family. She wouldn't separate their lives from them. Vikki was a mother to her and a grandmother to KJ, that wouldn't change.
"The
Buchanan's are my family John, mines and KJ's"
He looked at
her and frowned "You have to move on…"
"Who says moving on
means separating myself from people that love me, and that I love?"
He drank his beer and nodded. He was being selfish and he knew it, but he had a bad feeling about Jessica Buchanan. She seemed too invested in his family and he wouldn't tolerate that. "I understand you care for them…."
"It's more than that. I love them. Vikki Buchanan will remain KJ's grandmother. She loves him too."
John remained silent and Evangeline saw that he was just trying to start a new with her. Getting up from her chair she went to him and sat in his lap. He didn't look at her and she found it so cute that he was pouting. Turning his face to hers she kissed his lips lightly. "I think finding our own place is a great idea"
He looked at her and smiled "You do?"
"Of
course I do baby. I want a life with you too."
He hugged her on
his lap nuzzling his face in her breast.
"John, I just want you to allow room for my relationship with the Buchanan's and not be threatened by it. It's separate from Kevin. They were the first family I had and I love them all deeply."
John kissed the
inside of her neck "Whatever you want."
Feeling his tongue on
her neck she titled her head and sighed.
"I want you" he
moaned now massaging her breast.
She smiled "You have me…"
He
stopped kissing her and looked at her. "I can't help but desire
more and more. Your like a drug to me and I am constantly in need of
a fix. I don't think I've ever felt this strongly so soon. I'm
in love with you."
Evangeline understood he wanted her to tell him the same and though she loved him she couldn't bring herself to say the words. They were stuck in her throat. "I have never been loved like this John, it's all so new to me. My idea of LOVE was totally different from what you've brought me these past days, it's so passionate and raw for me. I keep having to catch my breath and over come the wonderful feeling of being overwhelmed."
He slid his hand under her shirt and under her bra. "We
will go home tomorrow."
She felt him pinching her nipples and
smiled "Why so soon?"
"I want to get the process going with
a job and a place for us. We can come back soon."
Evangeline shifted as he rotated he nipple between his fingers "John I don't want to go not yet. It's so peaceful here and we are all alone. Let's stay a little while longer and enjoy ourselves. You get back and start working with a regular routine we won't have this time together."
Lifting her shirt he worked her breast out of the cup of her bra and took it in his mouth. She shivered as him warm mouth enclosed on it as the cool night breeze blew her hair away from he face. Sliding his hand between her legs he massaged her through her jeans.
She wasn't ready to go home. Something told her that these moments here on this beach were to be treasured. She couldn't let go of them yet. He let go of her and looked in her face. "Where did you lay KJ down?"
She opened her eyes and smiled "In our bed."
He looked down at her lustfully. "Then the living room will have to do!" he said pushing the chair back and rising with her in his arms. She laughed at his way of carrying her in the house. He kissed her forehead hooking his foot at the opening of the screen door and pulling it open carrying her over the threshold. "We'll stay as long as you want" he said before kissing her deeply.

"Attorney Garret,
this is Jessica Buchanan how are you?"
"Fine Ms. Buchanan,
what can I do for you?"
"My sister have you heard from
her?"
"No I can't say that I have…is something wrong?"
"Well she's been gone for two days and her cell has been off.
She left with that John McBain."
"Her
husband?"
"Whatever…yeah, I don't know what he did to them
and I'm getting worried."
"Don't be I heard from him this
morning."
"You heard from John McBain?"
"Yes he called
on the change of Kevin's name to McBain."
"HE DID
WHAT?"
"They are changing Kevin Jr's name to McBain, He
called earlier to check on that."
"Where's my sister?"
"He
didn't say and I didn't ask."
"Does she know he's doing
this?"
"It was her idea."
"Oh my god…" Jessica's
heart beat faster it was happening already. What could she do? How
could she stop it?
"If you hear from Van tell her it's a dire
EMERGENCY that she contact me immediately."
"No problem.
Goodbye Ms. Buchanan."
Slamming the phone down Jessica sat in the study trying to control her rage. Where were they? Why would she change KJ's name and not discuss it with her. God she had to stop him before they were gone from her life for good. If the present she left for him didn't do it then she would take more drastic measures. Either way she planned to fight John McBain every step of the way.
St. George's Bay Beach House
Evangeline stood in front of John seeing his beautiful clear blue eyes sparkle in the dark of the living room. Watching her take off her shirt he smiled and pulled down his pants remaining seated before her. She reached behind her and undid her bra pulling it off her shoulders. Slowly she undid the button on her jeans and then worked them down her hips watching him watch her impatiently. She smiled seductively as she removed her panties and threw them at him landing on his face. He pulled the delicate fabric from his face and laughed.
Walking over to him she climbed onto his lap straddling him slipping her tongue in his mouth forcing his head back. She felt his hands on her hips as she grinded in his lap causing him to groan in desperate need to be inside of her. She raised her hips and let him grab his penis and position it to her opening.
They both gasped when he penetrated her and she moaned again as she slid up and down on him. Kissing his face and neck she worked her hips back and forth causing him to repeat her name over and over. His eyes rolled in his head as his toes curled and he shivered at how she drove him to ecstasy. With her on top of his lap he had little control and he weakened with every calculated thrust. Her hair brushed against the side of his face as she sucked at his neck and the silky feel of it made her more erotic.
Rubbing her back he squeezed his eyes shut forcing the urge to release inside of her. He didn't want to stop and just like the first time he entered her he didn't want to release her. She lifted her head and licked his lips. "You are so special to me. Do you know that?" she said into his face as she kept driving him to madness. Before he could respond they both heard KJ scream upstairs. Evangeline froze and jumped from his lap. John winced at the suddenness from her move. KJ screamed out mommy and John grabbed his pants as she grabbed hers racing up the stairs before she could get completely covered.
As she buttoned her shirt she saw John coming down the stairs with her crying baby. He brought him over to her and put him in her arms. "What is it baby?" she said kissing his tear soaked face.
John rubbed his jaw. "He woke up in that dark room and didn't know where he was. When I got to the room he was already down from the bed running to the door crying"
Evangeline nodded and sat down with him and worked to calm him. John watched them and smiled in frustration. He guessed that he should get used to these interruptions now that they were a family. Going over to the chair and plopping down he sighed and rubbed the soreness from his dick.
Evangeline smiled at him
"Sorry" she said seeing his disappointment.
He winked. "It's
okay you can make it up to me later." he said
KJ laid his head on his mom chest clinging to her and eyeing his daddy. He could tell by the look on his face they wouldn't be sleeping alone tonight. John picked up the remote and turned on the TV in the armoire. Evangeline continued to rock her baby in her lap. John flicked back and forth and stopped on CNN to listen to the anchor.
The final indictments in the TELICO scandal that has rocked the business world have come down from the Federal government. Over 25 key people in the indictment have been arrested and subpoenaed to appear on charges, of corporate fraud, tax evasion and several charges on the illegal abuse and mistreatment of Mexican immigrants in their factories around the El Paso Texas area. On a side note the indictment has included Dr. Spencer Truman and some of the brutal experimentations woman immigrants have reported.
John looked over at the Evangeline who watched the news story expressionless. He tried to see if she recognized Telico and the only reaction he saw was when Dr. Truman's name was evoked.
"Did Buchanan Enterprises have any dealings with Telico?" he asked innocently.
Evangeline frowned "God no…Kevin had considered it but I talked him out of it. After I reviewed their books and contracts I knew something wasn't right with that company. I'm glad too."
John nodded saying nothing. Evangeline looked at him and frowned. "Why would you ask me that?"
"Just curious they were in the same type of business as
your husband company."
"How do you know that?"
"I knew
about these indictments coming down for awhile."
"Oh that's
right you worked with the Bureau"
"Yeah…." He said
wondering if he should tell her the truth.
She kissed their son and stroked his head. "Why would Telico get involved with Dr. Truman? What kind of experiments were they doing?"
John shrugged. "That I don't know" which was true. He knew of the things that Kevin Buchanan did to those immigrants but this connection to Truman was a new one on him.
"I hate that man. He's a disgusting pig. But his impregnating me with KJ was the most remarkable thing to happen to me in my life."
"Ironic
isn't it?"
"Very….sometimes I wonder if it was an
accident" Evangeline said immediately regretting it.
John looked at her confused "Well he did claim that he didn't have a clear sample from your husband. But to hold onto my donation long after Kelly was already pregnant is weird. How do you reuse someone's sperm?"
Evangeline laughed "Eeewwlll" she said trying
to change the subject.
John laughed too "I know….that is
icky"
Looking at him and smiling. "Doesn't matter to me John, I'm just happy to be with you and our son. I don't need to know all the whys and hows."
John felt the same way. What her husband did made no difference to his love for her. He would let her keep her love for him, just as his relationship with Kelly was untainted.
Getting up and going to her side he sat down and pulled KJ to his lap to hold him while he now slept. Evangeline took the remote from him and found a sitcom to watch and snuggled him. They enjoyed the rest of the night in peace.
