Chapter 14 - Rawls

Author: Dakota Lyons
last update Last Updated: 2024-12-07 00:29:29

When I walked into the house it was eerily quiet. "Evie, where are you sweetheart." No response. I heard a faint ding like a text message, and I pulled out my phone. It wasn't my phone and then I noticed Evie's cell phone was on the table. That is so unlike her, she goes everywhere with that phone.

Panic started to set in. "Evie, sweetie, where are you?" Again, no response. I started to check every room and calling her name louder and louder. When I went to her room, I noticed there were clothes thrown everywhere and her backpack was gone. I felt the knot in my stomach tighten.

Evie had left and taken my car. I am glad have a tracker on my car, so at least I know where she has gone. I may need to give her a little bit of space, but I won't give her long before I am going to find her.

I hate myself for not immediately picking up on my child's pain when she came home. I knew she was acting differently, but she had been pretty stressed out ever since she had gone off to college.

    I was turned on, nervous and scared all at the same time. I could not believe that I was going to be with the real man of my dreams. He set me down gently on the bed, and as I looked up into those dark brown eyes that I had fallen in love with when I was sixteen. "Rawls, I need to tell you something." Rawls leaned in, his hand cupping my face. "You can tell me anything, Claire." My nerves were about to get the best of me, but I don't think he would want to find out about my virginity as a surprise. "I have dated but..." "Baby, I could care less about who has been here before me. All that matters is that I am going to be your only one for the rest of your life." I think my ovaries just exploded, but he is not understanding what I am trying to say. "That's not it. Please listen, honey." It was hard to think straight as he was kissing on my neck and down towards my chest as he was slowly pulling off my shorts. I had to grab his face and pull his face towards mine so he

    I could not believe how tight Claire was and how good it felt. I wanted to take it slow, because I wanted her to get all of the pleasure, and I did not want to finish too quickly. I watched her face carefully, my eyes never leaving her as I pushed deeper. "You're okay, Just keep breathing." I could tell she was focusing on her breathing, and I started to gently stroke her cheek. I could see a tear rolling down her face. I wiped it away before it could reach the pillow. I looked into her eyes searching for any sign of pain or discomfort. She nodded and took a deep breath. "Keep going," she whispered. I did, inch by inch, filling her up as far as I could go. With each push, I felt her opening up to me, her body giving way to mine. Her tightness was unlike anything I had ever felt. I was claiming a part of her that no one else had ever touched. It was a feeling that was hard to explain, but it made me feel like I was the most powerful man in the world. Her walls gripped me li

    Even though I wanted to stay the night with Rawls, I was going to have to go home. I didn’t want my parents to get suspicious and I needed to be up early for work in the morning. I kissed him deeply, trying to convey everything I felt in that one kiss. "I have to go," I whispered against his lips. "My parents will be worried if I don't come home." Rawls nodded, his arms tightening around me briefly before he released me. "I understand," he said, his voice thick with reluctance. "But I don't want you to go." "Me neither," I admitted, feeling a pang of sadness at the thought of leaving the warm cocoon of his arms. "But my parents will be worried." How am I becoming the voice of reason this time. Rawls sighed, his chest rising and falling with the effort to control his desire to keep me there. "You're right. But I don't want you to go. I want you here with me, in our bed." His voice was low and gruff, a stark contrast to the softness of his touch. "Did you just say our bed

    Just knowing that Claire was okay was a relief. I was worried I had hurt her since she was a virgin. I did everything in my power to take it easy with her. She was so responsive to my touch. I have to concentrate to not just fuck her into the bed. The tightness and wetness she possessed was my undoing. She was mine, that is an undeniable fact. The thought of her carrying my baby grew stronger as I lay there in the bed we had just shared. The idea was so tempting, so all-consuming that it was all I could think about. I knew it was fast, and we had a lot of shit to deal with, but the thought of her swollen with my child was making it hard to think of anything else. I had to get my mind off of it. I grabbed my phone and pulled up the tracker app for my car. She had made it to the beach house. That was a relief. It was late, but I was going to check the cameras to make sure she is okay. I am very concerned about her mental state in the way she rushed out of Claire's house. I clicked

    Rawls and us alone for a weekend. My heart was racing at the thought. I had to tell my parents something as a reason to be away from home. Even though I am an adult they still worry and I feel like I need to let them know if I am going somewhere. That evening, I sat at the dinner table with Mom and Dad, trying to act normal. T I pushed the food around my plate, my stomach in knots. I had to tell them something, anything to get out of the house tomorrow. The silence was deafening. "Claire, are you okay? You have been really quiet tonight." Mom can always tell if something is wrong. "I know this is random," I began, taking a deep breath. "But I need to get out of town for the weekend. Just to clear my head." My parents exchanged a worried glance. "Is everything okay?" Dad asked, setting down his fork. "Yeah," I said, forcing a smile. "It's just... it has just been really stressful at work?" Mom reached across the table, placing her hand gently on mine. "You know you can talk

    I met Rawls at a parking garage on the other side of town, a place where we were unlikely to be seen by anyone we knew. The concrete structure was cold and sterile, the fluorescent lights flickering overhead. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and all the tension in my body melted away. We shared a quick, passionate kiss before he opened the door to his favorite pickup truck. The smell of leather and his cologne filled the car, a comforting scent that made me feel safe. As we drove away from the city, the anticipation grew stronger with every mile. We talked about trivial things, trying to keep our nerves at bay, the radio playing softly in the background. His hand found mine, and we drove in a comfortable silence, the warmth of his touch reassuring me that we were making the right choice. The cabin was exactly as he described, a cozy retreat hidden away from the prying eyes of the world. The woods surrounding it whispered secrets as we unpacked the truck, the sound of our footsteps

    The weekend ended way too quickly. As we drove home, I could see Claire continually looking at her ring. We had not discussed the real possibility of a pregnancy. We have not been practicing safe sex this weekend or the first time we were together. I feel like I am being the irresponsible one in all of this. Claire having my baby makes me very happy. But on the other hand, she has just started her career in social work and I wouldn’t want to stand in the way of what she has worked so hard to accomplish. I broke the silence, because we were quickly heading back to reality. "We need to talk about what happens next, Claire." I tried not to show how worried I am. She turned to me, her eyes searching mine. "What do you mean?" "Well, you know, about us, and what people might say. And..." I took a deep breath. "What if you are pregnant?" The color drained from Claire's face, and she took her hand away to clutch the ring. "I did not even think about that," she whispered. The truck'

    My hand felt empty without Claire's, and the cold metal of the ring box in my pocket was a stark reminder of the promise I had made. I took a deep breath and walked inside, the sound of my boots on the hardwood floor echoing through the house. The television was playing in the background, and I could hear Evie's footsteps as she approached the door. "Dad?" she called out, her voice had a hint of anger. I turned to face her, trying to put on a calm face. “Evie, I am so glad you are home. I have been worried about you.” Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Where were you?." "Out of town," I replied, trying to keep my voice even. "I had some work to take care of." It was a lie, but one I hoped she would believe. Evie looked at me skeptically. "On a Friday night?" She knew my work schedule better than anyone. "It was unexpected," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "A last-minute emergency." "Yeah, sure," Evie said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "And I bet this 'emergency' was

    I should have gotten Jonathan psychiatric help a long time ago. Even as a child he had issues getting along with other children. The years I was with Rawls and Evie, Jonathan had been raised with his father’s (Marco) family, the Castellanos. Marco had always talked about the strange incidents that occurred when they he was young, but he had always downplayed the seriousness of Jonathan’s behavior. Now, it all made sense. My child had turned into a monster, and we were all just pawns in his twisted game of power and control. I had to see Evie. I had to explain, to apologize for the years of pain I had caused. But would Evie even believe me? Would she recognize me as her mother or the woman who had abandoned her all those years ago? Fear and guilt had been my constant companions since I had gone into hiding, but now, with Evie's safety hanging in the balance, I was going to have to face my past. I had to see her, had to try to make this right. I approached the house where I kne

  • My Life Long Crush   Chapter 72 - Claire

    I know Rawls and Dad are keeping things from me. I can see it in their eyes every time they think I'm not looking. They hover over me like overprotective hawks, their whispers and furtive glances speaking volumes. But I'm not a child anymore. I know something's wrong, something much more than just Evie's disappearance. I sit in my room, my thoughts racing, trying to piece together the puzzle that is my life. The walls are closing in, the silence suffocating. I need to know the truth. I need to know what's happening to Evie and why my fiancé and my father are acting so strangely. Summoning my courage, I tiptoe down the hallway. The house feels eerie, as if it's holding its breath, waiting for the next shoe to drop. I hover outside the door to Rawls’ office, listening to the muffled whispers of Rawls and my dad. "We need to tell her," my dad says, his voice strained. "She has a right to know." Rawls's voice is low and firm. "Not yet. She's not ready for this." I bite my lip, my he

    Claire said that Thelma is good at digging up information. Hopefully she has something that can help us find Evie and rid our lives of this psychopath. Robert and I were anxious to see what Thelma had found, but I know it will help Claire if they can see each other. "Thelma," Robert said, his voice tight with urgency. "What do you have for us?" Thelma took a deep breath, her eyes flicking to me before returning to Robert. "I've been looking into Jonathan Cramer/John Castellanos's history," she began, her voice steady despite the gravity of what she was about to say. "And it turns out he has connections to Evie's mother, Fiona." "Robert and I leaned in, our eyes locked on Thelma's face as she opened the folder. She pulled out a series of photographs, each one more disturbing than the last. "These are of Jonathan with his mother," she said. "Does this woman look familiar?” Robert took the photos, his eyes scanning over them before handing them to me. The woman in the images

    Robert and I sat in my office, poring over the case files and notes we had gathered on Jonathan Cramer. The silence in the house was suffocating, compared to the chaos that had erupted earlier. The detectives were on thin ice with me. I could not believe they questioned Claire about the paternity of the baby. "How did he do it?" Robert muttered, his eyes scanning the page in front of him. "He had to have had help," I said, slamming a fist on the table. "There's no way he could have gotten through that security unnoticed." Robert nodded, his jaw set. "I've called in a favor with an old contact at the precinct," he said, his eyes never leaving the paperwork scattered in front of him. "We're getting the full report on the facility's staff—everyone who had access to Evie's location and schedule." We worked tirelessly into the night, piecing together a timeline of events, looking for any inconsistencies or signs of tampering. The more we dug, the more it became clear that this was

  • My Life Long Crush   Chapter 69 - Jonathan and Evie

    I can’t believe how easy it was to get at Evie. The security at the mental facility was no better than the security at a nursery school. I had disguised myself well enough that Evie did not recognize me. She thinks her dad sent me to pick her up for her safety. She will be anything but safe with me. I may have a little fun with her before my plan is put into place. But first things first, I need to get her to my place. She’s so naive and trusting, it’s almost too easy. I have a van waiting outside, no plates, no paperwork, no way to trace it back to me. The perfect getaway vehicle. As we walk out of the facility, my heart races. The plan is coming together perfectly. The security camera's blind spot is right where I need it to be. I glance around, making sure no one is watching. "It's okay, Evie," I say, my voice low and reassuring. "We're going to get you somewhere safe." Her eyes are wide with fear, but she nods, trusting me implicitly. She's just as innocent now as she was

    Days passed, and despite the fortress we had built around ourselves, a sense of unease remained. It was as if the walls were made of paper, ready to be torn apart at any moment by the monster we knew was out there. And then, it happened. Evie went missing from the facility. "No," Claire whispered, her hand flying to her mouth. "It can't be." But it was. Evie was gone, vanished without a trace from the very place we had thought she would be safe. The facility's director looked at us with a mix of regret and urgency, his words barely penetrating the fog of dread that had descended upon us. "We're doing everything we can," he assured us, but the tremble in his voice did little to ease our fears. Robert's eyes met mine, and I knew what he was thinking. We had been so focused on keeping Claire safe, we had neglected to consider that Jonathan might come after Evie. The realization hit me like a punch to the gut. We had played right into his hands. We sprang into action, phones to our

    The drive home from the hospital was tense. I was constantly looking in my rear view mirror. Claire's parents followed us in their car, Robert and Mary were as worried as I was about this whole situation. Once we were inside the house, there was an urgency to secure the place. Robert and I immediately began installing the state-of-the-art security system while Claire's mother hovered anxiously by her side, ensuring she was as comfortable as possible. The house felt like a fortress under siege. Every creak of the floorboards, every rustle of the curtains had us on edge. We worked into the early hours of the morning, installing cameras and alarms, setting up a panic button by Claire's bedside. Finally, the last screw was in place and the system was live. I walked into the living room, where Claire lay on the couch, her eyes heavy with exhaustion and fear. "It's done," I told her, trying to keep my voice steady. "You're safe here." Her gaze searched mine, looking for the truth in my

    Now that we know was this Jonathan person is capable of, I am going to put security on Evie as well. I trust what they have at the facility. Once I get Claire home, I am getting personal security and upgrading our alarm system. I look at Claire, who is still in a daze, and I realize that the reality of the situation is setting in for both of us. The man who attacked her is still out there, and he knows where we live. I refuse to let fear control us. I lean down and whisper reassurances into her ear. "Rawls," she whispers, her voice shaky, "What if he comes for me again? Or what if he tries to get to Evie?" The thought sends a chill down my spine, but I don't let it show. "He won't," I tell her firmly, stroking her hair. "I promise you, I'll protect you both. I won't let anything happen to either of you." Her eyes search mine, looking for the truth in my words. "You can't be with us all the time," she points out. "No," I admit, "but we're not going to make it easy for him. We
