STOLEN Page 4

"Okay daddy." They ran to do his bidding. He came over and touched my forehead, checking for fever I guess.

  "How do you feel?"

  "Much better, the ointment and the nap helped."

  "I'll put some more on before bed, come to dinner."

  "Okay."

  "Simone...do not under any circumstances Interact with anyone over the internet no matter who it is, or who they say they are, it's very dangerous. I know you don't understand but trust me, there's a reason I live the way I do, there's a reason for my paranoia as you call it. What might seem like an innocent occurrence can sometimes become deadly. I took you Simone, I make no apologies for that, because with one look you captivated me, but had I been of a different mind, had I been a monster, how do you think this would've turned out?

  I'm not going to apologize for thrashing you, you know I won't, and if you put yourself in that kind of danger again I will do the same, you know this too, do you understand?"

  "Yes." My voice was small and childlike.

  "Any questions?"

  "Uhm...." I bit my tongue, how do I say this without getting myself in deeper shit?

  Roderick in no way mistreats me, neither is he abusive, in fact he's far from it, but when he gets pissed or more to the point, scared, he can lose his shit. I should know I've got the ass whippings to prove it. So how do I tell him how I feel without turning this into a major issue?

  "Simone?"

  "Can we talk about it after we put the boys to bed?"

  He looked at me for a long minute before nodding his assent.

  "Fine, let's go eat."

  "What did you make?"

  "Your favorite of course."

  "Whew, vegetable lasagna, thank you daddy."

  I got a hug and kiss before we headed out to get the boys.

  Dinner was boisterous fun, Roderick and I like to interact with the kids while we eat, in an appropriate manner of course, there was no chewing and talking at the same time, but conversation is plentiful with two four-year-olds who were full of stories and a million and one questions about everything under the sun. There was lots of 'mommy guess what' and daddy did you know?'

  Roderick was really great with them I liked to watch him, his patience and understanding so completely different from my father's.

  I bathed the boys and got them ready for bed while Roderick took his shower. I was in bed under the covers by the time he was finished. It got dark early up here this time of year, by seven it would be pitch black, we would either watch TV or read but I knew we needed to have this conversation so I left my book sitting on the nightstand.

  "You ready to talk little girl?"

  "Yes daddy."

  "Go ahead."

  I fidgeted a little because although Roderick has always maintained that we could discuss anything I've never really questioned his authority before.

  "Uhm...it's just that...I didn't deliberately go looking for that Sam guy...."

  "Is this the first time some guy tried to talk to you on there?"

  "Uh...." Shit, I knew I should've left well enough alone.

  "No....." My voice was barely above a whisper.

  "And how did you handle it the last time?"

  "I just ignored it."

  "And did he stop?"

  "Eventually yes."

  "This group you're in, do you know anyone there personally have you ever met any of

  them?"

  "Of course not."

  "How do you know they are who they say they are?"

  I shrugged my shoulders; this is not going at all the way I expected it to.

  "Do you remember about ten years ago? You might've been too young to remember but it made international news, there was a young girl that went missing. Her family begged and pleaded for weeks, the media was all over the story because the girl came from a very influential family."

  I did not have a good feeling about this. I wanted to stop him before he went any further but that train had already left the station and I just knew he was about to tell me something horrible.

  "The police, the FBI, every possible government agency was called in, money was no object, with all those resources there was nothing to be done, she disappeared without a trace. Finally a cyber task force took over, when they took her PC apart they found all these emails and private messages between her and an unknown man.

  It took them months to piece it together but by then it was too late, she'd been dead since the first week she'd been taken. That thirteen year-old girl was my sister Janet, she met her predator in a chat room where she'd been meeting other kids and sharing information, you're an adult, you're not a thirteen year-old girl, but you're my wife and I'll be damned if the same thing will happen to you."

  "Oh my gosh, oh daddy, I'm so sorry." I hugged him as tight as I've ever hugged him before, my heart breaking into a million pieces for him, for his remembered pain.

  That answered a lot; though I always suspected it had to be something horrible that had sent him running from civilization, I’d never imagined something like this. He hardly ever spoke of his past and his contact with his family was minimal at best. Now I understood why he was so overprotective so anal about our security, it's a good thing I didn't mind being hidden away up here, had I been one for big city lights and the party scene we would have major issues.

  Now with this new revelation it was a wonder he even let me near the computer at all.

  "I promise to be careful I won't talk to people on there."

  "You can talk Simone, just not about personal things and definitely no fucking flirting there's no difference between flirting on there or in person as far as I'm concerned.

  You're no longer a prisoner here, you can come and go as you please...okay maybe that's stretching the truth a little bit, but you know what I mean, you have your freedom, but if you put yourself in danger I'm not going to handle it very well, call it paranoia call me domineering, whatever makes you happy, but I will never stop taking care of you and if that means you get an ass whipping every once in a while, then so be it. Are we clear?"

  "Clear."

  "Good, now let me take care of you."

  He rubbed more ointment into my already fading welts, but there was no repeat of the afternoon's love making. Instead after he'd cleaned up in the bathroom, he came back to bed pulled me on top of his body, kissed my forehead and we went to sleep with me held safely in his arms.

  Chapter 12

  My aching cock woke me early the next morning. Simone was still sprawled on top of me with my hands molded to her ass.

  Before I was fully awake I was grinding my heavy cock into her stomach, moving her body so my leaking cock could rub against her clit. After about five minutes of that I was ready to fuck a knot in the floor.

  "Come on baby wake up." I squeezed her ass cheeks together, trapping my cock between her legs.

  "Hmmmm." She was barely awake before I was lifting her body and pulling her up mine so that her pussy was over my mouth.

  "Hold onto the bed head." She rested her head on her folded hands at the top of the headboard while I swiped my tongue over her morning wetness.

  "Uhmmmmm..." I entered her with my tongue, her sweet taste bursting on my tongue as I held her ass in my hands and ate to my heart's content.

  Her little sleepy movements soon became bolder as she rubbed her pussy on my mouth.

  Sliding out from under her I knelt behind her and with one thrust was buried inside my girl. Crushing her body between mine and the headboard I started slowly fucking back and forth into her, her soft ass bouncing into my groin.

  "Flex your pussy little girl."

  "Yes daddy."

  She squeezed...held...released, the tightening of her pussy around my cock felt like heaven.

  With my face buried in her neck, inhaling her sleep warm scent I let myself feel her, her silky soft hair on my face, the girlish slenderness of her hips in my hands and the smooth, liquid heat of her cunt.

  Pulling her back gentl
y, I took her breasts in my hands so I could torment her nipples. She reached her hand back and over so she could grab the back of my head twisting her head for a kiss.

  One touch of her tongue and my libido spiked up. Instead of slow steady thrusts I was now plunging into her depths.

  Her fingers pulled my hair painfully but I didn't care, the pain spurred me on to fuck harder and deeper as I bit down hard on her neck making her cum hard and long on my cock.

  "Play with your clit for me little girl."

  Her other hand went to her pussy and she rubbed her clit as we fucked.

  "I'm gonna cum...daddy....unghhhhhhhh."

  I lifted one of her legs and shifted so I went in deep on an angle, hitting her G spot and making her shake in ecstasy.

  "Cum in your baby daddy, I want to feel you cum, I love to feel you cum."

  I came, pulling out and shooting on her clit and fingers from behind before pushing back in and shooting in her more, over and over.

  I turned her over and kissed her long and hard soothing her with long strokes of my hand.

  "Good morning beautiful girl."

  "Morning daddy." She squeezed me and sighed before settling once more in my arms.

  "You're taking the boys to school today." I felt her body tense, fuck, I didn't want to do this either but ever since I told her the story about my sister yesterday something's been nagging at me, I hated like fuck what was going on in my head but I had to do this.

  "But daddy why, I hate...."

  "I know but you have to do it okay."

  She nodded yes but didn't say anything.

  I was a fucking wreck for the whole twenty minutes or so she was gone. That morning while we both fed the boys breakfast I'd been hard pressed not to lose my shit and bar them all in the house, it had been five years, five wonderful years of bliss...for me and here is where the fuckery in my mind started, what had it really been for her?

  When she came back I released the breath I'd not been aware of holding, she seemed subdued and unsure of herself and I thought it best to get the shit over with.

  "We need to talk." I took her hand without farther ado and headed to the office.

  Seating her in a chair across from me I pondered my next words carefully.

  "I want you to spend more time in town..."

  "What...?"

  She was out of her chair and kneeling in front of me before I could blink. I couldn't touch her now, if I did, I would never get through this.

  " Simone, I've been thinking...I took you against your will..."

  "Daddy don't." She grabbed my hands in hers.

  "Ssh, listen, I told you the story yesterday about my sister, the guy who took her also saw something he wanted." I was going to be sick, what the fuck had I done?

  "Not the same..." She was shaking her head wildly.

  "What if you're only staying because I didn't give you a choice, what if what you think you feel for me isn't real?"

  "You want to send me away, you don't want me anymore, you're mad about the computer." She kept finding all these reasons why I was sending her away, which I wasn't, not really.

  "It's none of those things baby, I love you, more than I ever thought possible, but what if I'm no better than him, what if..."

  "Don't say that, you're not like that."

  "Simone..."

  "No daddy, no, you can't send me away, we can't be apart, I won't do it." She ran out the room. That was the first time she'd ever spoken to me like that in five years.

  I went to find her and found her under the blankets with the covers over her head.

  "Baby come out from under there and talk to me."

  "Baby listen to me...."

  "No you listen, I heard what you said about your sister, I'm sorry that happened to her, but you're not like him."

  "Simone I chained you to my bed and forced myself in you...."

  "Daddy, I know, I was there remember, I know what you're thinking and you're wrong, how could you not have known all this time, how could you not see?

  You took me yes, and I was scared out of my mind in the beginning, but you never once hurt me, the first few weeks here I didn't know what to expect, but by the time we found out I was pregnant I was halfway in love with you already. You don’t see yourself, you're the kindest, gentlest person I know, you always put me first, now it's me and the boys, you drive yourself crazy trying to make sure we're safe, you shower us with gifts every chance you get, and do you remember when the boys were sick with fever as babies? You stayed up all night with them in your arms, and no matter how I begged you to put them down and get some rest you wouldn't leave them, not for a second. A monster wouldn't do that."

  "But if I hadn't taken you maybe you would've had a better life somewhere." It burned me to say that but it had to be said, I'd opened a can of worms, one I hadn't known was there, how could I have missed the parallels?

  "What if all you're feeling is just...in your head...?"

  "I know what you're thinking and you're so wrong, my life before you was a shadow, I had no one daddy, why do you think I was hiking across the country alone? I was a very unhappy person back then, I was searching for something I didn't know what, until you cried when you held our son for the first time, that look on your face and the one you wear whenever you look at us, that's what I was searching for, so no, I won't be going into town more often, what for I belong here with you and the boys."

  " I wasn't going to take them away from you, it would kill me to do it, but if you wanted to leave I would've let you go, I..."

  "I'm not going anywhere..."

  "You're not making this easy."

  "I should make it easy for you to destroy our lives? I love my life with you, nothing else matters, now let's go make lunch I'm starving."

  I sat there as she left the room; I guess I've been dismissed. Could she be right, could I be worrying for nothing? Man I hope so, I really hope so, my heart couldn't take it if she wasn't.

  Chapter 13

  The next few days were a bit tense for me; I hadn't touched Simone since that morning when we had the conversation. Every once in a while I'd catch her out the side of my eye giving me furtive looks but I was adamant about giving her space, letting her breathe.

  I spent more time apart from her and the kids, spending hours in my workshop taking out my frustration on wood and pounding nails.

  I felt like an addict coming down from a high, going through withdrawals after years of binging on a favorite drug.

  At night I'd wait until she fell asleep before sneaking into bed, I'd lay there and watch her as she slept, my heart heavy and fear in my gut.

  Now here it is, Saturday, the kids are home, there's lots of running around and screaming, usually I'd be right in the middle of it, rough housing with my boys.

  I slammed out the back door and headed for my workshop. I spent hours working on a piece driving my body and mind to exhaustion. By the time I lifted my head it was late afternoon and the sun was going down.

  I made my way back to the house, my trepidation growing with each step, it was way too dark in there and where was the blast of the television blaring cartoons or some Disney show?

  My heart pounded in sickening fear when I walked in to find an empty house.

  "No...Simone...no." I dropped to my knees in the middle of the living room, tears running unchecked down my cheeks, bile rising in my throat.

  "SIMONE..."I don't know how long I laid there, heart sick and broken.

  When I could feel my legs again I rushed out the door and to the garage. The cars were all there, the alarm for the gate hadn't signaled and there had been no alert on the workshop monitors so they couldn't have gone too far. Please don't let her have left me.

  I never prayed so hard in my life, I think I might have even promised to give up some things in the future, I'm not sure, all I could think about was her being gone, the three of them, my world, out of my life forever.

  No fucking way, I couldn't survive
it, I'd never let that happen.

  Running back inside I grabbed the keys to the ATV to go looking for them. As I came back out the door I heard them.

  I've never moved so fast in my life as I did when I ran to them. Fear gave way to anger, anger to jubilation, and then, enlightenment. I grabbed them up in my arms, trying to hold all of them at once until we ended up in a tangle on the ground.

  "Where were you?" My voice was gruff as I pulled her head back to look into her eyes.

  "We went for a walk daddy, that's all." I saw something in her eyes; some knowledge was hiding there behind the innocent look she gave, as the boys thought we were playing a new game and started tackling me.

  That night I enjoyed my family as we made dinner together, then sat around the table eating and laughing. The boys were full of questions as usual and I could see they were glad to have their father back.

  Putting them to bed after their baths took on new meaning, they were mine, they'd always been mine, but somehow unbeknownst to me I'd been harboring this fear, now I could truly breathe. No one was going to take them from me, not ever.

  I tackled her down to the mattress after her shower that night, tickling her to laughter, until laughter became deep sighs as I touched her with all the love I held inside for her.

  I marked her in ways I hadn't since our first few weeks together, I needed to reclaim her once more, to stamp myself on her and in her.

  By the time I entered her gently while gazing lovingly into her eyes, I was lost.

  "I know what you did...thank you." I drove into her as deep as I could go as she wrapped her legs around me, her heels grinding into my ass keeping me locked inside her.

  "Don't ever leave me Simone...swear it."

  "I swear daddy, never."

  "Tell me you love me."

  "Love you daddy, so much." Her head went back as she enjoyed the slow stroking of my cock in and out of her pussy.

  I stroked her softly a few times more before the need overcame me and I wanted more, needed more.

  I needed to reclaim her, get things back on an even keel.

  "Ready?" She nodded, I pulled out, turned her over and tied her hands behind her back.
