Safe Haven and the Second Chance Mates 18 Lori
“I will never be yours you freak.” I yell out before I can continue, he punches me in the jaw, and I pass out. I woke up a few hours later, alone. The sounds floating throughout the room make me sick to my stomach. The sound of a woman screaming and grunts. The woman begging to be let go, for the person to stop. The sound of skin slapping skin. I peek open my eyes but don’t see anything. I moan and pull myself up as best I can in the bed. Tears flowing freely down my face. I can still hear the sickening sounds but no clue as to where they are coming from. I cross my legs and try to twist my ankle free from the bindings, but it seems while I was knocked out, he tightened them back up.“Fuck.” I say softly looking around my prison. I bite my lip trying to not cry out, “I may never get out of here.” Tears flow quietly down my face as I face that this will be my life from now on. James enters a few hours later, the sound of the woman screaming, and the gru

Asher Hollywood Undead blared through my speakers as I went through the files Lori had accumulated on her flash drive. All evidence pointed toward James Connor. We had his name, but the man was rich. Insanely rich. From what we could see he had been making donations to the shelter since the day Lori started as the Fundraiser Coordinator. He had met her at a fundraiser that day. From the meticulous records Lori kept about all the donors, James claimed his mother was an abuse victim, raped by her husband. The records showed weekly donations. Phone calls. Emails. After a year of this unknown started contacting Lori via email. Things started escalating around the time we had come back in the picture.I rubbed my chest at the ache and focused on the screen. I cooked my head and peered closer before smiling."I got you mother fucker." I mutter as I lift my phone and call my contact at the police station. After relaying the message, I sat and waited for the call back.I dialed L

I slide my hand to the restraints and ease her wrists from them with no protest from her. She’s out like a light. I have a feeling the freshest bruise on her head is what’s causing this. My heart pounds in my chest. She’s fully dressed, and I can’t tell if she’s been touched elsewhere. But my heart hurts at the sight of her. She moans as I lift her into my arms and start carrying her up the stairs.“Asher.” she moans, I glance down at her face, but her eyes are still closed. I grimace a smile and shake my head as I exit the house with her in my arms. I look around at the police cars and see an ambulance.“You couldn’t wait?” a familiar voice says from beside me and I find Smith, my buddy from the police force beside me.“Not when it comes to her.” I say as I walk toward the ambulance.He shakes his head then claps me on the back, “Thank you for not killing the fucker, I wouldn’t want to put you in jail when you saved her life.”I nod I can feel her start to wake up more. She opens her

Lorelei I couldn’t believe it. Asher had saved me. I was fighting him being close to me, touching me. The disgust I felt in myself was drowning me. I didn’t deserve his touch. But he had saved me. I closed my eyes against the glare of the light above me in the ambulance as it sped down the highway toward the hospital. I took stock silently as I felt his eyes on me. I took deep breaths and grimaced at the smell radiating from my body. But I was free. My arms hurt from being above me for so long. I could feel the welts on my wrist and ankles from the restraints. My face throbbed from the multiple blows I had taken the last few weeks. My skin sticky from the disgusting things he had done. Asher had asked if James had touched me. He never asked if he had degraded me. If he had mentally or verbally abused me. There was so much worse that could have happened. Of that, I am sure. But at this moment I wasn’t sure it could be worse. Having Asher touch me, hold me in h

Asher Lori dosed off as I read to her. Peace taking over her features for the first time since her sleepy smile in my arms before she freaked out. I lay my head back against the chair and smile as the same nurse from earlier entered the room. “How’s our girl?” she asks me as she quietly checks the IV and other machines surrounding the bed. “Safe.” I growled as I adjusted into another position in the seat. These damn things were not made for a six-foot two man of my size. Or anyone really. Damn things hard as a rock. I had it leant back so I could stretch out but still didn’t make it comfortable. The nurse smiles as she takes Lori’s blood pressure without waking her. “Can I get you a blanket and a pillow?” “Please.” I say smiling as I exaggerate the sound. She laughed softly and wrote down her findings and left the room. She came back quickly with a warm blanket and fresh pillow and handed it to me. “Thanks.” I said before placing the pillow behind me and stretchin

Lorelei The days seem to fly by in a blur as I stay in Asher’s apartment. The nights only eased by Ashers presence beside me in bed his strong arms wrapped completely around me. Refusing to let me go even in sleep. After the first night of me waking up to nightmares Asher has been a constant presence in my bed. Just not in the way I used to always dream about.He even initiated multiple sleepovers with Eli. He would curl himself around me the big spoon to my little and have Eli curl against my front. Those were the nights I felt the safeties, the most secure.Yet my heart isn’t here anymore. I feel so numb to the world around me. I’m terrified most days to even open the blinds. I’m scared to look in the mirror. I can feel the difference inside of me. I am broken.The days are endless filled with fear and pain that break me in every way. I curl in a ball on the bed and cry. I can’t help the pain. I know I shouldn’t feel like a whiny bitch. I’m not the woman he killed. I’m j

. “He was murdered in a riot inside the prison he was being held in without bond.” I sat there feeling like I had been shot. He was gone...but how...no “You didn't?” I said softly refusing to voice my fear. “I should have done it myself that night, but you were more important.” “Tell me you didn’t have someone do that. Asher. Please.” “I’m not going to sit here and lie to you.” His eyes plead at me to understand. I want to understand I do, but I had told him not to do this. “Tell me you didn’t put Braylin in that position.” I whisper. She’s the only person I can think of who would have a contact that could kill someone even from prison. Her father's connections that she usually hates using but for friends like me I know she’d do it in a heartbeat. “Not going to lie to you baby girl. I would take on anyone to make sure you are safe.” He pulls me closer to him. My chest pressing against his. I can feel the rub of my

“Does it feel like I’m lying.” He growls. His fingers glide from my shoulders before digging into my hips. I shake my head. “Say it out loud.” he groans as he pulls me closer to his body. Not rubbing or suggestive movements but like he doesn’t want to let me go. Like touching me is his lifeline. “What?” I ask, biting my lip and focusing on the feel of him against me. I have never felt this before. Excluding the trauma James had brought to my body, I have never felt like someone was craving my body, needed just the feel of me against them to take their next breath. It was an intoxicating feeling. Overwhelming and terrifying. My brain was spinning trying to tell me that I needed to walk away, that this would lead to nothing but pain. That I should be ashamed that I felt arousal at his touch. “Look at yourself and tell yourself that you are perfect.” He growls into my ear. “No.” I whisper fighting myself, fighting him. He presses his lips a
