CHAPTER 76

QUALITY TIME SPENT TOGETHER

.

"Jace" Luke greeted him, raising his hand, as soon as Jason arrived at the beach.

"Luke. Man" he smiled at him and they tapped each other's shoulders.

Jason quickly glanced at Luke's groin because he remembered how Dianna said he should look at Luke 'proudly' the next time they saw each other. He looked back at Luke's face again, quickly, and thought to himself he wanted to kill Dianna. That fucking spreadsheet came to his mind once in a while.

"Lindell let me know just this morning you are gonna replace Johnson as a Green Team coach. I'm so glad, man" Luke told him while they walked more to the side of the beach while the Seals in training organized in line. "My kid gets in line faster than you guys. Come on!" Luke suddenly yelled at the sailors, and they almost ran around to get in formation.

Jason smiled peacefully at the scared sailors, liking this job already. Only leaders could do this, for sure.

"Yeah. I started as an Ops Chief after I left Bravo, but it almost bored me to death. I wanted to stay there for a week or two to give it a chance, but yesterday at the end of my fourth shift I went to Lindell's and asked to be taken away from that fucking cave" Jason explained, watching the sailors argue about the formation among themselves.

"Can't believe you finally left Bravo, man. Well done" Luke tapped his arm again. "It was hard for me too, but I had no choice. And now, to be honest, I don't know if I'll go back to Echo. My wife's so happy, man. Kids too" Luke looked at Jason, frowning.

"I bet. When I had to stay at home after my last concussion, even Alana was happy with me being home. And we were separated already" Jason raised his eyebrows at Luke, and he chuckled. "What the fuck are you doing, sailor? Get your ass back in line" Jason yelled at a sailor who looked lost and seemed to be walking to the side of the beach. To pee, probably. He quickly changed his mind.

"How's everything going with, you know. That guy?" Jason asked, quietly. He hadn't talked to Luke since before he left for J-Bad, months earlier, and they didn't discuss that the last time either, they were both in a hurry at Base.

Luke snorted, shaking his head.

"That son of a bitch. I honestly regret not aiming better. Of course he gave the cops another version of what happened" he told Jason, annoyed.

Jason frowned at him.

"What do you mean, he's out of the coma?"

Luke frowned at Jason too.

"Yeah. Didn't they tell you? I think he's been out for like four months" Luke explained, surprised that Jason didn't know that.

"What" Jason turned completely to Luke. "He was stalking Dianna. How come nobody told her that? Or me? He tried to blow me up" he pointed his finger at his chest.

"I'm sorry man, if I knew they didn't tell you, I would have told you. I think you were overseas with your family, that's probably why. You know these state cops, detectives. NCIS too. They all suck. Lazy asses. There was this time that two NCIS detectives went to my place at 3PM of a Thursday, and because I wasn't there, and Kim wasn't there either, they assumed I wasevading thepolice" he grumbled, then snorted. "I was working. At Base. Not even here. Kim was at the grocery store. Idiots".

Jason opened his mouth, confused again.

"I… was it when I was in Uruguay, perhaps?" he asked, because the only time he traveled with his family lately was to attend Mr. Freddy Veiler's birthday.

"Think so. All I know is he was recovering at the hospital, then infirmary of the military prison, but now that he was transferred to prison he requested house arrest. House. Because he has some sort of trouble breathing sometimes. Because I hit his lung, not his heart. I should have gone for his head" Luke grumbled, angry as fuck.

Jason was too shocked with the information and just kept looking down.

"Kim" Luke suddenly said, quietly, and Jason looked at him. "She's terrified of him. That's one of the reasons I'm not going back to operating, even if the Navy allows me" Luke admitted, then turned to Jason. "I thought you left Bravo because of Dianna, too".

Jason stared seriously at him, both of them with their hands on his hips and a whistle hanging from their necks.

"So, is it true? He stalked her, too? Kim?" Jason asked, and Luke just continued to look at him. "I almost killed him, man. I understand you completely. Dianna threatened to shoot him herself if I didn't stop" he admitted.

Luke slightly nodded.

"Kim only told me about the stalking when he was arrested the first time. He was in my house all the time. Watched games with me. She said she didn't want tobreak up the team, and she wasn't even sure if he was stalking her. But he was" Luke explained, sternly.

Jason snorted, looking down.

"'Break up the team'" Jason sarcastically said.

Luke nodded.

"I told her. I love the team, but I love her more. She's my priority, but she didn't think she was. She wasn't there to stop me from shooting at him. But he kept yelling at me how ungrateful I was, because I didn't testify in his favor. I couldn't take it, man. Just couldn't" Luke admitted, with a shaky voice.

Luke and Jason's alarms buzzed, the training should start in one minute.

"So, you're saying he not only tried to blow you up, he also threatened to kill Kim, is that it? And seemed to have a gun with him?" Jason suggested, seriously.

Luke gazed at him.

"Oh, he had a gun, yes" he informed Jason, then turned to look at the sailors. "He was reaching for it. And he threatened Kim, yes" he said with a monotone voice.

"Easy choice. I would have shot him in the head, man. I don't mind testifying to that in court".

Luke tapped Jason's shoulder a couple of times.

"Thank you. I might need that testimonial from you" Luke nodded at him, then walked closer to the sailors. "Come on sailors, are you sunbathing? Frogmen belong in the water. Grab your goddamn boats and carry them to the orange floaters!"

Jason watched as the sailors ran as quickly as possible to grab the huge floaters, dividing into groups.

"They're slow" he realized, cocky.

.

.

"Hey. I'm home" Jason greeted Dianna when he opened the door of her house, carrying a bag with clothes. Jason had the key from her place since they came back from Uruguay and she gave him his house key back. He realized he called Dianna's place 'home' and immediately blushed.

"Hi" Dianna walked from the kitchen, smiling, and Cerberus walked to Jason and received a warm hello from him. It was Friday and Jason brought clothes to spend the weekend, from the size of his bag. "How was it today?"

"It was good. A lot better than Ops Center, for sure" he admitted, giving her a soft kiss on the lips. "Luke is still working there as a coach, by the way".

"Really? Didn't you say he'd probably end his enlistment in desk duty?" Dianna frowned, confused.

"He hated it, of course. And he said he's thinking about not going back to Operations, so he preferred to stay there with the Green Team" Jason explained, grabbing a bottle of beer and sitting on the island stool after putting his bag close to the stairs.

"Wow, what is going on with team leaders nowadays? Are you all joining a retirement group where you play golf on weekends?"

Jason chuckled, amused with the idea.

"Adam golfed. It's a fun game, once you're drunk" he explained, and Dianna raised her eyebrows at him, smiling. "Dianna" Jason's smile faded, but he needed to talk to her. She noticed his change in demeanor. "Will is out of the coma" he stated, looking serious.

Dianna looked down, then nodded.

"Did you know about this?" he asked, anxious.

"No. I mean. I imagined. I found out his case wasn't irreversible or anything, his lungs were recovering. A few days in and the doctors were expecting a full recovery" she explained. "But he went back to prison, right?" she asked, anxiously.

"He did. Yes" Jason raised his hands to calm her down. "But, huh, Luke told me he requested house arrest. He has and issue with his lungs, and of course prison isn't the coziest and warmest place for someone to be, and it affects his lungs" Jason said sarcastically.

Dianna snorted, and went to the fridge to get some wine. She needed it.

"I bet he'll get house arrest. Son of a bitch" she grumbled, irritated.

Jason watched Dianna attentively, to see if she looked scared, but she just looked anxious.

"Dianna" he called her and she looked at him while pouring the wine in the glass. "Please let me know if something or someone bothers you, ok? If you think someone's been following you like this" he stated, and she frowned.

"O-kay… But I guess one stalker is enough, right" she said sarcastically, then took a sip of the wine.

Jason stood up and walked to her, leaning his hand next to her on the counter.

"You didn't tell me when Dead Guy gave you the panic attack" he raised his eyebrows, and she looked down.

"I was afraid you'd kick his ass" she explained.

Jason swallowed, yes he would. But he wanted Dianna to feel safe to tell him things.

"Just promise me you'll tell me" he asked her, affectionate.

Dianna hesitated, not sure if she'd comply to that request. But she had no choice.

"Ok. I will".

Jason nodded, then gave her a crooked smile.

"I was thinking we could go out to dinner this weekend" he suggested, still hovering over her.

"Ok. Good. But not tonight, right? I'm all" she gestured to her body and head. "I was outside gardening, I'll shower but I'm in the mood to stay in tonight" she explained.

"Gardening?" Jason raised his eyebrows at her.

"Yeah. Planting some flowers under those bushes and trees next to the fence" she turned and pointed at the backyard, visible from the kitchen window, and Jason stood behind her, looking at it. It was very colorful.

"It looks great. I can see you're making the most of this house, then" Jason quietly said in her ear.

"I am" she said, and turned her head to face him. "I know it's a rental-"

"No. You're right. You need to enjoy this, it's your home. You're living in it, make it yours" he smirked at her.

Dianna smiled, surprised with Jason's change of heart.

"Does that mean you're finally gonna buy a headboard to your bed?" she teased.

Jason continued to smirk at her.

"No".

.

.

"Those kids are sloooooow" Jason mocked the Green Team while touching the small floater under the bowl with nachos, floating around the jacuzzi.

"Really? Aren't they Seals already?" Dianna asked, pushing the other floater with the bowl with guacamole towards Jason.

"Not DEVGRU" he explained, dipping the nacho in the guacamole and eating it. But letting a drop of guacamole fall in the water.

"Just glad I was gonna change this water tomorrow anyways" Dianna grumbled and pulled the floater with nachos closer to her. "Well, and when is the next draft?"

"They are supposed to finish training and graduate in about two months" he explained, pulling the nachos back to him, but Dianna held the bowl between the two of them, annoyed. "The jets are pushing it away" Jason explained, annoyed too.

"Well, then come closer to me" Dianna said, he was really distant right now.

"The jets are here on my back" he explained, having another nacho. "Come here" he raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to sit on his lap, naughtily.

"No way, Jason. I was gardening all afternoon. My back here" she gestured for him to sit right next to her.

"My back hurts too" he grumbled.

"You're not even operating anymore. That's a normal amount of pain you have. Like any other lazy ass coach" she mocked him, but playfully.

But Jason's face shut down.

"I have yeeeears of being a team leader, DEVGRU. My back always hurts. I was blown, fell, do you know from how many feet?-"

"Oh my God. Fine. Stay there with your jets then" Dianna loudly said, still mocking him. "But you're massaging me later" she said. But she didn't come closer to him, she continued feeling the jets on her back with her eyes closed.

Jason ate another nacho, then glanced at Dianna, she was quiet and with her eyes closed. He gently pushed the mini floaters with nachos and guacamole towards her, but she kept her eyes closed. Then he sipped his beer and put it back on the deck. Cerby looked at the bottle with interest, but Jason gave him a disapproval look. No beer for Cerby.

He remembered how amazing it was the orgasm he had that other night in the jacuzzi, months ago, when the jets were at the maximum level, and he licked his lips, looking at Dianna again.

"Hey" he quietly called, and Dianna hummed, still with her eyes closed. "You know my hands are great for that. Of course I'll massage you tonight" he told her affectionately, and she opened her eyes and cutely smiled at him. "Are you, huh, tired right now?" he asked. He needed her to ride him at the same time as he felt the jets. And she was changing the water of the jacuzzi the next morning, so he needed to be ridden by her that night.

Dianna sighed loudly, pouting and looking at the bowl of nachos floating in front of her.

"I was thinking about going to The Bonfire again. Maybe next week, when Daniel arrives?" she suggested casually, and Jason immediately got the hint.

"Yeah. Great. Love that place" he said, a little too excited.

"Really? It doesn't bring you any bad memories?" she asked, truly curious, and Jason tried to disguise his discomfort. Dianna kissed that Jared dude in front of him right by the bonfire.

"Bad memories?" Jason frowned at Dianna, talking a little too loudly. "I fucked you there, in that parking lot. You know, after you rubbed yourself against me by the bonfire" he reminded her, and himself.

Dianna smiled and slid closer to Jason, and he discreetly increased the strength of the jets. A lot.

"I didn't rub myself on you. It was crowded there" Dianna lied, and she knew that he knew she was lying. "You were eating me with your eyes" she straddled him, and Jason licked his lips and started to undo the tie of the bottom of her white delicate bathing suit.

"I'm observant" he explained and lowered his shorts while Dianna untied her top. "But yeah, we can go there. You choose our itinerary next week, ok?" he continued to give her whatever she wanted, to make her happy. Dianna riding Jason happy was an amazing thing to watch and feel.

"You know, my dad and Tatiana are thinking about coming too. But they've never been to Virginia, let alone VA Beach" Dianna said and Jason blinked, trying to pay attention. She cupped his face and Jason gently held her waist and held his erection so she could just sit on him already. "I don't know any good hotels in VA Beach for them to stay. Daniel already booked one for him, and he needs to stay in DC for a few days, too. So…"

Dianna stopped talking while they both moaned, while she sat on Jason's erection.

"I was thinking maybe my dad and Tatiana could stay here. Upstairs, which is the bigger bedroom. And we could sleep downstairs" she explained her idea, then started moving.

"Hum. Yeah. Sure" Jason was already breathing hard while Dianna moved in waves, slowly and gasping against his lips.

Jason squeezed her buttocks and softly kissed her lips, he couldn't stop moaning. Those jets were making his back numb and relaxed, which made his cock more sensitive somehow. He was feeling shivers.

"Are you ok with that? The bathroom is a little smaller downstairs" Dianna reminded him, still moving, and Jason closed his eyes, barely listening.

"Sure. Good" he mumbled, smiling with his eyes closed. "God, Dianna" he exhaled, and kissed her neck.

"Ok. Just wanted to make sure you don't mind. The shower head is lower" she said louder in his ear, for him to pay a little more attention, if possible.

"Whatever. I can shower at my place" he mumbled, licking her neck and squeezing her breast.

Dianna stopped moving, a little surprised with his answer. Jason finally opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?" he was anxious for her to continue. It was too good.

"I just… thought you'd be staying here. At least next weekend" she explained, shy.

Jason took a few seconds to remember what they were talking about.

"Sure. I can stay here" he quickly said. "I thought you were talking about the weekdays".

Dianna nodded, still shy. She didn't want to seem like a dependent girlfriend.

"I can stay here during the week, too" Jason said without thinking too much. "This way I'll get to talk to your dad and stepmom during breakfast and dinner, too" he suggested.

Dianna shyly smiled, starting to move slowly again. Jason licked his lips and squirmed to get his back even closer to the jets.

"Ok. But if you prefer to stay at your place…" she suggested, quietly.

"No. I'll stay here. I have nothing to do there" he quickly said, moaning against her lips again.

Dianna moved faster and a little harder, liking his answer.

"I asked for a leave from traveling for this week and the next, so I'll just have to work from VA Beach for now. And DC, maybe" she explained to him.

"Sure. You were deployed for two months, and was away for a month before that. You could ask for a bigger leave, to be honest" he suggested, moving his face back to her neck to kiss and lick her.

Dianna disheveled his hair and Jason was moaning and releasing shaky breaths in her ear, and she was loving all of it.

"Hum, Jason" she hummed, and Jason bit her earlobe and grabbed her hair, also loving the sounds she was making. "Hum, this feels so good" she stated with a shaky high-pitched voice. The jets were so strong she could feel the water moving all over her body too. Including between her legs.

Jason was going insane and was already squirming his legs and feeling drunk. He softly bit her shoulder, smiling.

"This is fucking heaven, Dianna" he admitted, then bit her breast when she moved up, surprising her.

"Please, Jason" she asked, not sure what she was asking for, and moved faster on his lap, still in waves.

"Tell me. Ask me. Anything" he was blurting anything that came to his mind.

"I want you" Dianna explained, feeling drunk too.

"You have me. Say my name" he pleaded, going insane.

"Jason. Say my name" she immediately said, she was so close.

"Dianna. Fuck. You're so delicious" he had a shaky voice.

"I love to ride you" she blurted, but didn't even notice. Jason immediately bit her neck, losing it.

"I love it. Ride me" he blurted too, gritting his teeth and begging her.

Dianna immediately came, hard, pulling his hair and releasing a choppy loud moan, and Jason buried his fingers on her skin while he groaned, shutting his eyes because he came hard too. So hard that his mind went blank for a couple of seconds.

They both shivered while Jason emptied himself, and then looked at each other when they opened their eyes.

Jason smiled cutely at Dianna, then slowly kissed her lips, feeling his heart beating fast.

Dianna's heart was beating fast too, but also because Jason admitted that he preferred to stay at her house and not his.

Of course, that his apartment was crap, so it wasn't so difficult to imagine.

But, still.
