Rick’s POV 1 hour after Daniel’s released from the hospital..
No place like home. While me and Jodi hang up our jackets, Jake and Ashley come down from their rooms. I dropped Holly and Daniel off at their hotel so that they could pick up their stuff. I wanted to go with them through fear of them not coming back but I have to remember that they are my guests not my prisoners.
Me and Jodi announce a family meeting and everyone sits in the living room. “Kids we’re gonna be having some guests for a while. My nephew Daniel has come over from London.” Both Jake and Ashley’s eyes go wide. “It’s true.” I say. “Both him and his friend Holly have come to visit. Your mom and Daniel haven’t seen each other for a long time so we need to help him feel like family.” The kids are still trying to process the fact and I don’t blame them. I’m still trying to get my head around it. I mean all these years Jodi never mentioned Daniel. I need to get to the bottom of this but not now.
Daniel’s POV same time at the hotel…
Holly’s just grabbing the last of her stuff before we head back to aunt Jodi’s. Mercifully I can change into my own clothes. Its good to get out of that hospital towl they make you wear. I’m wearing blue jeans black shirt and my leather jacket. I love this jacket i feel cool like Travolta, or the fonz. I’m still pissed about what happened but what she did left me with a pain that I don’t wanna feel anymore. So I’m prepared to try again. But Holly’s here so that makes it a bit easier.
We’re both quiet on the drive back to Jodi’s house and when we get there she has to nearly drag me out of the car since I’m too nervous to move. We walk through the front door with our bags and see everyone sat in the front room. They all stand upon seeing us. Jodi’s there with Rick. Both are smiling. But the other two I don’t know. A girl my age, fit with long brunette hair, about 5’7. She looks nervous. Stood next to her is a guy about 5’8. I’m guessing he’s the girl’s brother cause they look alot like each other. “Kids.” Holly says. “This is my nephew Daniel and his friend Holly. Daniel these are my kids Ashley and Jake.” Jake is the first to step forward and I shake his hand, followed by Ashley then Holly does the same.
Rick shows us to our room. “Sorry guys but we don’t have any other rooms. You guys will have to share a bed. Is that a problem?” He says smiling. “I’m sure we’ll manage.” Holly says. The idea of me and Holly sharing a bed has me excited. With everything that’s gone on, we haven’t had time to talk about us. I can’t exactly ignore the fact that she gave me a blow job in my car. “I’ll talk to her about it later.” I say to myself. That’s when I hear aunt Jodi calling us down for dinner. We both walk down stairs to the kitchen. Me in my jeans and black top and Holly in a beautiful evening dress.
Dinner is pretty good. Spaghetti and meatballs. I love spaghetti. “So how long are you staying for?” Asks Ashley. “At least until I can get home.” I tell her. “Well I was thinking maybe we could go for lunch tomorrow and catch up.” Says Jodi with a smile. “Jodi I know if you could, you’d have me on a plane back home an hour ago. You don’t have to pretend you’re happy to have me here.” I say looking at my plate and everyone looks at me with wide eyes. Holly squeezes my leg to tell me “careful”. “Daniel I am happy you’re here and I’m going to prove it. If you let me.” She says sadly. “She’s right buddy. We got off to a bad start but we can’t fix it if you don’t let us.” Rick chimes in. “If we didn’t care we wouldn’t have come to see you in the hospital.” He continues. It annoys me to admit it but he has a point. “Well to answer your earlier request. I could insult you with some lame excuse for not going to lunch. But it’s more respectful to admit that I just don’t want to.” Now this is interesting. Jodi looks hurt. Rick shakes his head. Ashley looks shocked while Jake stares daggers at me. I put my napkin on the table and stand up. “I’ve lost my appetite.” I say as i head back to my room. I’m joined moments later by Holly who looks annoyed. “I thought you were going to try to fix things with you’re aunt.” She says with her hands on her hips. “I was but if she thinks she can just pretend all the bad shit never happened, she’s got another thing coming.”
“She wants to welcome you into the family but you’re just spitting venom in her face at every opportunity.” I look up her frustratingly confused and say. “I thought you were with me on this.” “I am. She’s a bitch for what she did to you. But I’m not interested in staying here so that i can watch you two fight.” She says and now im pissed.
“Well im not gonna just forget about what happened. I nearly died because of her. So forgive me if I don’t drop it in a few hours. If I get pissed off im gonna make sure she knows it. If you don’t like it you can go home right now!” I spit at her and instantly regret it. I don’t want her to go she’s the only thing helping me through this. She looks hurt and slowly turns to leave the room. I have to stop her.
She opens the door a crack, and I push it closed again. “I’m sorry Holly. I didn’t mean that.” I say. “Let me out Daniel. I don’t wanna be around you right now.” Again she tries to open the door only for me to push it closed again. I can see she’s angry and she grabs me and pushes me away. Now im angry again and we just stare at each other. “I’m sorry, I don’t want you to go. I just got angry. It seems like everyone’s against me. I feel like an animal being backed into a corner.” I say and she hugs me tight. “I’m not against you. You’re my friend. And you’re definitely not an animal.” She says. She looks up at me and we stare into each others eyes. I don’t know what to do, then without any thought, I lean down and kiss her. She returns the kiss and places her hand on my cheek.
I place my hand on the back of her head, her mouth opens and my tounge slithers into her mouth. My hands slide around her ass and I lift her up. She wraps her arms and legs around me and I push her against the door. She’s grinding against me, moaning into my mouth. I carry her over to the bed and lay her down gently. We break the kiss and I pull my shirt off. As I do she peels out of her clothes revealing a bright pink bra. My lust takes over and I pull her tits out of her bra and gently bite them. Holly gasps and holds my head in place while I suck her tits, growling like an animal. I can hear Holly giggling before she pushes my head off. I grab her nipple with my teeth and pull it gently as im pushed off.
Holly sits up tries to make a grab for my belt but I push her back down and yank her panties down. “You don’t have to do thaaaa… Uuuuh! oooooh! Fuck!” Is as far as she gets before I dive my tounge into her pussy while I suck her clit. Hill closes her legs around my head and it literally feels like she’s gonna squash my head. Damn she’s has strong legs. I tounge slithers up, down, round and round her pussy. Holly’s gasping is so sexy. I cant see her properly but I have the image of her lying there. Her fiery red hair flared around. Her big breasts heaving up and down as she gasps. My dick is straining to get out. I cant take it, I need my cock in her now.
I stand up and in no time have my jeans and underwear down. My cock is free and pointing right at Holly’s opening. I line myself up and look at Holly. She’s smiling and nods lightly. I push forward slowly and Holly grunts as inch by inch is pushed in. She’s tight and as soon as im in I hold it there and kiss Holly. She returns the kiss with her hands on my cheeks. I pull out slowly and push back in. Holly breaks our kiss and rests her head on my shoulder. I kiss her neck and continue thrusting slowly. “Daniel please go harder.” She gasps and I pick up pace. I start fucking her hard and she sinks her teeth into my shoulder making me grunt. I push her back on the bed and she grabs my head. We stare into each others eyes as I fuck her. She’s so beautiful and it has me ready to cum. “Holly I’m gonna cum soon!” I say grunting. “It’s ok baby, I’m protected. Cum inside me.” No need to tell me twice, I thrust inside her and release my cum inside her, she clutches onto me and moans into my ear as she reaches her own orgasm. We lay in that position panting until we fall asleep holding each other.
Rick’s POV a few minutes before…
I knew this would be difficult. Daniel said hurtful things to Jodi then stormed off. Jodi’s crying and Ashley is trying to calm her down. I can see Jake wants to kick Daniel’s ass for what he said but I’m keeping him back. A fight is not the best way to let Daniel know he’s welcome. Holly went after Daniel. That was about 5 minutes ago and im heading up to their room to try and understand where Daniel’s at.
I’m about to walk in to their room when I stop dead and listen. The sounds of grunting and gasping don’t make it hard to figure out what’s going on. I smirk to myself and walk back downstairs. I’ll talk to him tomorrow.
Daniel’s POV 8:30 am the next morning…
I wake up with Holly sleeping with her head on my chest and her arm over me. She looks so peaceful and she’s snoring lightly. It’s then I hear a light knock on the door. I get my jeans on and open the door slightly to see Rick standing there. I don’t open the door fully because Holly is still naked in bed. “Yes?” I ask sarcastically. “Get dressed man, you’re coming with me to work today.” I scoff at him and say “No thanks”. I’m about to close the door when he says “Ok then, you can stay home with Jodi.” I can feel the dread flowing through me. I hate to admit it but he’s got me cornered, which I don’t like. “Fine, I’ll go give me a minute.” He nods and walks away. I shut the door and hear Holly stirring. I look and see her sit up looking at me. She looks confused for a second but then remembers last night and smiles.
I tell her what im doing today while she gets dressed into a pair of tight jeans and a tight top that wraps around her breasts perfectly. “Well if you’re not ready to be alone with Jodi yet. Your cousin is the better option.” She says and I agree. “Just don’t keep dragging it out til you go home.” She continues. “I know, and I won’t.” We’re both dressed and in the kitchen having some breakfast. Its just me, Holly and Rick reading his newspaper as he drinks his coffee. Its coming up to 9:15 when me and Rick get out the door, Holly plants a kiss on my lips as we leave. I gotta say, he’s done well for himself. He’s gotta a gorgeous dodge charger. The engine roars and we set off.
Rick’s POV…
I tell Daniel about Private Heroes and he’s impressed. “Not bad! So you just help people who need it, whenever they need it?” He asks. “When we can. Sometimes they come to us for help. Sometimes we go to them and offer our help, but we cant help anyone who’s not a paying client.”
“So there’s more to you then just being a stuck up asshole who rubs his good fortune in the face of strangers?” He says sarcastically. “I never wanted to come across that way. I apologise.” I tell him. “Yeah, alot of apologies recently. Don’t worry about it, it doesn’t rank very highly on my list of problems right now.” He says and now I’m losing my patience. “What problems are those? The one where a girl you met less then a week ago spent hours looking for you and got you to a hospital? Or the one where you’d probably be out on the street if we hadn’t taken you in? I’m sorry for what’s happened Daniel, but you’re being unfair about all this.” “SHUT UP!” he says angrily. “You don’t have a fucking clue what I’ve been through. So don’t pretend you know what my problems are because you don’t!” That’s it! I flick the car round. The tyres screech as we take a left turn, leaving a trail of smoke behind us.
I keep my foot down and my eyes on the road not saying a word. We pull into a rough part of town and stop the car. “See her?” I say pointing to an elderly woman pushing a shopping cart. She looks scruffy with dirty clothes. She has dirt on her face and she looks tired. “That’s June!” I tell him. “her son went to prison for fraud 3 years ago. When he got out she let him move into her house until he got back on his feet. But he robbed her of all her savings. With no money to live on she’s forced to live on the streets begging.” Daniel looks at the woman hard and I can tell it’s having an impact. I drive off and pull up on a street corner. “And her?” I tell him pointing out a middle aged hooker on the corner. “That’s Tiffany. Got married in her mid twenties and was forced to be a prostitute by her husband. She’s got a son whose only 12. Sad truth is Tiffany will probably be dead before he’s 16. You say I don’t know what your problems our. I drive past here every week and remember how lucky I am. So no offence Daniel, but you’re problems don’t really mean shit to me right now!” Strangely seeing Tiffany has an even deeper impact on Daniel as I see hatred in his eyes. “Look at June and Tiffany. If they could have one wish for Christmas, it would be to have a home and a real family but they can’t. You have that chance, don’t ruin it.” Daniel’s thinking hard and I think I sense guilt. Having made my point, I pull away slowly.
We arrive at the office at 9:45, a little late but it’s alright when you own the company. We pass head up to the coffee room and introductions are made. David, Tyler and Tyrone all shake Daniel’s hand he returns them. He’s very respectful towards them and they like that. Next person to see is Katy, she’s gonna like Daniel I can tell. We take the lift up to the third floor in silence. I hope Katy isn’t playing with anyone right now. I knock three times and hear Katy say come in.
We enter and see Katy sat at her desk in her usual office clothes. Short black skirt with stockings, white shirt with some cleavage and rose red lipstick. It’s funny, most people’s jaws drop when they see Katy. Not Daniel. I introduce them and Katy walks over to us. Daniel takes her hand and kisses it with a smile. “He’s very charming.” Katy says smiling. “I want Daniel to learn more about what we do here. Would you mind looking after him for the day?” I say and she smiles. Not her usual seductive smile but more of a proud smile. “Sure hun.” She says. “Thank you, take him to the archives and show him some old case files.” I say and Katy raises her eye. “What happened to client confidentiality?” Says Katy and I wave her off. “It’s ok I can vouch for him.” I reply and she nods. “Have fun kiddo.” I say smiling. “Come on stud.” Says Katy. He raises his arm to her and says “I’m all yours.” Katy giggles and hooks her arm in his as they set off. I shake my head smiling. I see alot of myself in that kid.
Sarah’s POV 14:35pm the same day….
Tomorrow is my second date with Rick and I’m really looking forward to it. He’s an amazing man. He’s handsome, kind, and protective. Perfect for any woman. It’s astonishing to think he’s been single for so long.
Today is my day off from work, I’m just sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee, watching TV. I’m wearing my pink night gown and My hair is down.
As the show I’m watching ends, I hear a knock on the door. I open and see the last person I want to see right now. My ex husband is stood there in his business clothes. “Sarah we need to talk.” He says sternly. “Go away Richard. I don’t have anything to say to you and I’m not interested in listening to you!” I say and shut the door but he pushes the door back open. He’s got angry expression and I’m feeling scared. “I wasn’t asking Sarah!” He says. “RICHARD FUCK OFF!” I say and push him back and slam the door and lock it. He’s banging on the door shouting and I sit on the couch with my head in my hands. I pull out my phone and call Rick. It keeps ringing, “come on Rick please pick up! Please, please please pick up!” I say to myself. “Hello?” He says. “Rick! Please help me! Richard’s outside. He’s trying to get in! Please help me I’m so scared!” I say crying. “Ok I’m on my way. Find a weapon and wait for me! Don’t worry Sarah I’m coming!” He says and hangs up. I run up to my room and grab one of Richard’s old golf clubs. Please hurry Rick!
Rick’s POV at the office just after the call….
Shit! That asshole can’t take a hint. I’m running out of my office and see Katy and Daniel walking up laughing. “Hey, where are you going.” Daniel says curiously. “My girlfriend’s in trouble, I need to go help her.” I say running by. As I pass I hear someone running after me. “I’m with you.” Daniel says and I stop and look back. “No you stay here.” I tell him. “I didn’t get dragged down here only for you to run off. I’m coming, I’ll be your back up.” He says stubbornly. “It’s gonna be dangerous.” I say. “Then we’d better get going before something happens to your girlfriend.” Daniel says running past me. I don’t have time to argue so I follow him out of the building and to the car. Don’t worry Sarah we’re coming.
Sarah’s POV same time at the house…
Please hurry Rick. I’m hiding in my room, Richard is still banging on the door. It sounds like he’s trying to break the door down. He’s lost his mind. This is not the man I married. My terror grows by leaps and bounds as I hear the door get busted open. I run into the closest and pull the door closed. I put my hand over my mouth to cover my rapid breathing. I hear him hunting around the upstairs. He comes into the bedroom and pulls the sheets off the bed, then looks under the bed. Then he stops and looks at the closet. I’m still and quiet as a statue. Then he marches towards me and yanks the door open. He grabs me and I scream. I drop my weapon and get pushed on the bed. He puts his hand on my throat and pulls open my gown. Oh god Rick where are you!?
Daniel’s POV same time….
Rick stops the car outside a very nice looking house except for the broken door. “Stay in the car!” Rick tells me. Fuck that. I jump out the car and follow him. He gives me a frustrated look as we both run inside. He calls out for Sarah and we hear what sounds like muffled screaming upstairs. We’re upstairs like a bolt of lightning and we enter the master bedroom. There’s a blonde woman on the bed with an old guy pinning her down sucking her tits. Rick marches up and grabs the old man by his collar, yanking him off of the terrified woman. The old man spins round and punches Rick square in the face. Rick goes flying backwards and lands on his back, I see blood.
Rick’s POV….
Fuck that hurt! I look up and see Richard has a pair of fist cuffs on. What happens next shocks me. Daniel lunges forward and punches Richard. Richard stumbles backwards but corrects himself. He raises his fists and says “Alright you little shit! Time to beat some respect into you.” Daniel has his fists up and Richard throws a punch at him, which Daniel ducks under before delivering two shots to Richards face. Richard shakes himself off and comes back for a straight shot to Daniel’s face. Daniel blocks and grabs Richard’s head. He head-butts Richard twice and plants his knee in Richards gut. Richard goes down clutching his gut. Daniel stands over him with anger in his eyes. “Stay down!” Daniel growls. Stupidly Richard stands again with blood pouring from his nose. Richard then goes crazy delivering shot after shot at Daniel. Me and Sarah stare in total shock as Daniel dodges and blocks every shot Richard throws at him.
Richard throws a haymaker at Daniel. Daniel catches his arm, goes down and hooks his arm around Richards leg and lifts him off the ground. Daniel has Richard over his shoulders like an old wrestling move. In one final attack, Daniel flips Richard off of his shoulders and Richard lands on his back unconscious.
Daniel stares at him angry, taking deep breathes. “Nobody hurts my family!” He says before spitting on him. He looks to me. I’m still on the ground, I’ve been too shocked to move. I had no idea Daniel could do something like that. He extends his arm to me and I take it. He lifts me to my feet and I go to Sarah, she’s shaking and I hug her tight, telling her it’s ok. It’s over. Sarah clings to me and cries into my shoulder.
The police are called and Richard is arrested for breaking and entering, rape and physical assault. As he is removed from the house, he shouts that this isn’t over! Me and Sarah pay little attention as we hold each other. Daniel is being questioned by cops and after a few minutes, informs us that “It’s all good.” Daniel makes tea while I try to help Sarah calm down. Sure enough, after an hour she’s screaming and shouting about Richard. “THAT PSYCHOTIC, ARROGANT DICK! THINKS HE CAN JUST HAVE THESE WHENEVER!” She says grabbing her tits, which gets Daniel’s attention. “I SWEAR HE EVER COMES HERE AGAIN, I’LL RIP HIS DICK OFF WITH MY TEETH!” she’s fine.
It’s nearly 19:00 when Daniel announces that he’s gonna go home. I offer to stay with Sarah but she declines and says she’s gonna stay with her sister until the door is fixed. I don’t like to leave her, but Sarah is a strong woman and doesn’t need me smothering her with protection. We drive Sarah to her sister’s house and she gives me a deep kiss before leaving. Once she’s in the house, Daniel tries to climb from the back of the car to the front. “Get out and walk round.” I tell him. “Nah this is easier.” He tells me as he struggles to climb into his seat. Once he’s seated and has his seatbelt on we set off.
“Hey, good work back there. I’m impressed. Where’d you learn to fight like that?” I ask him trying to learn about my cousin. “Back home in London. Spent as much time learning as many martial arts as I could. Before I left you needed it just to survive.” He tells me and I’m interested in learning more. He tells me about how the crime rate was so high in London. How he watched his best friend get killed by a sociopath who was later killed too. I’m only now realising how rough his childhood actually was. I’m starting to regret taking him to the low end of town earlier but it seems to have had a good effect, since we’re actually talking. “Thankyou. If you weren’t there I don’t know what would have happened.” Daniel laughs and says “Told ya so.” Making me laugh too. “Yeah well I ain’t saying it again.” I tell him.
We head back to the office where there are a few people still working including Katy and David. I tell them what happened and everyone, especially Katy, shows attention to the hero of the hour. Daniel likes the praise he’s getting and we all have coffee and talk.
We get home at 20:30 and see Holly and Ashley talking and laughing on the couch. Jake is playing on his xbox and Jodi’s in the kitchen. She looks at us unsure but smiles when I nod. I walk up to her and hug her as she welcomes us home. I can tell she’s unsure about hugging Daniel but he pulls her in for one and she looks to me shocked. I just smile and leave the kitchen. I look to the kitchen a few times seeing them talking. Jodi’s smiling ear to ear as she nods to whatever he’s saying.
I sit and talk with the kids, Jake’s too busy with his game to listen to anything I’m saying or even form a coherent sentence. Ashley has had no luck with her dating but Holly’s been giving her some good advice and even offered to go into town for lunch tomorrow. I like that there’s another girl Ashley’s age in the house. I think She could use a sister figure. I look to the kitchen and hear Daniel asking Jodi to go for lunch tomorrow. Jodi’s eyes light up and she accepts without hesitation. She asks Daniel what food he likes and goes into a long list of restaurants that they could go to. Tomorrow is gonna be a good day.
