Getting ready I drive back, walking in Alena looking at me and smiling.“You look different.” Her words accusing, I shrug.“I got a shower today, that will be why.” She laughs and nods, Jackson sat there, surely he should have left by now, he can’t cancel. I look at him waiting, and he gets up walking to me.“I need a couple of minutes with him alone, Alena.” She smiles and nods walking back into the living room and closing the door.“What the hell Jackson, you should have left already.” I shake my head hoping Alena can’t lip-read.“Yeah, I am I sent Troy home to explain to his wife and grab some things, I booked a later flight no worry needed, now how did it go? Obviously not well if you’re back already.” I laugh sitting down and shake my head.“That bad?” He looks at me walking towards the kitchen and grabbing the glasses and whiskey. “Does everything have to be resolved or spoken about over whiskey Jackson? Would a coffee not be enough?” I look at the glasses as he pours the whis
The sounds of MJ screaming wakes me up, getting out of bed I walk downstairs, Troy there trying to get him away from Alena and failing, he keeps screaming hitting him away and I have to laugh.“Struggling there?” Troy turns seeing the amusement on my face, MJ gets up and runs towards me, why me? He knows Troy more than me he should have gone to Troy willingly.“Apparently I won’t anymore, have fun I am going to get started.” I nod and sit down MJ bringing the cars, Alena watching us.“So about last night.” I look up at her.“What about it?” I hope this isn’t where she says she knows I am Marcus and just didn’t say anything.“I am sorry for the way I acted, honestly I hope you don’t think I am some sort of crazy woman.” I laugh shaking my head.“Alena, everyone is crazy, just some more than others, you only need to worry when your craziness is affecting your life.” She nods and carries on cooking.“Thank you, as well, for MJ and keeping him busy on a morning while I cook” I shake my he
The figure walks in and I freeze, my eyes staying on the screen, the blood dripping from my face as I look at the two figures. My phone buzzes, and I know it is Troy, no doubt just as shocked as me, picking it up I hold the phone to my ear, my mind unable to find the words I need.“Marcus, are you watching?” I sit watching, as they both walk upstairs, Jo left downstairs. A couple of minutes later they appear in the safe room.“Fuck sake Marcus get a grip, that’s your ex-wife and her new fella.” He is right, I need to get a grip, and there she is beautiful as ever Maria with the guy I refer to as dickhead, or any other insult other than James, does she know what is going on? I am a fool, of course, she does, this is Maria, she walked in with him straight up to the safe room, and stood watching as he checked the monitors, I guess I could never compete with a guy in a drug and weapon gang that also sell women they smuggle into the country.“Fuck me, Marcus, answer me now before I call Al
The sirens wake me, jumping up I run out of the room, the towel still wrapped around my body, grabbing MJ, I hand him to Alena, I run up the stairs and grab the girls carrying them down. Alena’s eyes are on me as I pass them to her before closing the safe room door, Troy rushes out dressed, clearly not stupid like me running around naked.“What is going on?” I look at him and shake my head, we rush downstairs and look around, nothing everything is fine, I turn the Alarm off. Everything is still locked, and no windows are smashed, so someone had to be trying to break in from outside, but we can’t risk opening the doors this late while it is dark to check.Walking back upstairs I throw on some trousers. Opening the safe room door Alena stands pure panic on her face, the kids crying and clinging to her, clearly, this is the first time this has happened since I left. She looks scared, just like all the times before, I look at Troy.“You check the footage and see what can be seen, I will h
Liam looks at me, clearly on edge, his eyes raking over my body and I know Jackson has not told him.“Sorry for freaking out before, I just saw you looking like you were ready to lunge for her.” His eyes stay on me as he says it.“Uncle Liam, can we have chocolate?” Katy stands smiling at him, I am grateful they are distracting him.“I don’t know what did your mum say?” He looks at them.“She said we could have chocolate, she was going to tell Jo.” Katy smiles and Liam walks towards the kitchen, total sucker as always I laugh and he turns to look at me.“What?” He looks around him, noticing there is only him there to laugh at.“She will get you in crap one of these days, Alena never mentioned chocolate.” The sound of MJ crying makes us both look towards the stairs, Liam looks awkward, clearly unsure what to do, why would they leave him with the kids?“I will go.” I walk upstairs Liam not arguing, walking to MJ’s room he is standing in his cot crying, picking him up I look around, grab
Sitting down I read the book, Alena disappearing through the door, sitting I read the story watching as once again he falls asleep on my knee. Getting up slowly I lean over the cot, Alena walking to the door as I put him down.“I think he misses Jackson more than anyone else.” Well, that should all be sorted by tomorrow, Jackson will be back, I smile and walk out.“Thank you, Adrian, I am grateful you are here, he seems to like you.” I nod.“I am not sure why, I am a freak with this scar, you would expect him to be fine with Troy, even Liam, not me though.” I am glad, this is the only time I get with my son, so I will cherish it.“Well, I don’t think you are a freak, and the scar actually suits you.” She smiles as I walk by her.“Are you coming down for a coffee, Adrian?” “No, I am going to grab an early night, I will see you in the morning.” I smile at her and walk past going to my room. I pass out quickly, but wake soon after and keep waking. My eyes would shoot open. Sitting up i
Waking up I roll over, Alena sat on the edge of the bed smiling at me.“Morning, I brought you a coffee” I smile sitting up, taking the cup from her hand, a plate next to me with breakfast. I still feel like this is wrong and she shouldn’t be doing it, things have changed, and no doubt her love for me has changed.“Jackson wants to speak to you, preferably before we leave, which is in about half an hour, he is already hiding upstairs.” She laughs shaking her head as she gets up and walks out. Grabbing the food I walk upstairs, sitting down eating waiting for Jackson to speak.“How against are you to going back to how things used to be?” I look up at him, is he crazy?“Very, it will destroy Alena when I have to leave, and I won’t want to leave if I do, don’t think about it Jackson, if that was all you wanted I am going.” Getting up I walk off, he is crazy, I am doing everything in my power to not think of Alena in that way, and he goes and suggests I ignore everything and do it anyway?
The car door opens, turning Jackson is sitting next to me.“What have you said? She won’t even talk to me Marcus, she walked straight up to the bedroom”“This is why I said not to tell her, fuck. I knew she would get hurt and I have not even touched her, I turned her down that is what I did.” My voice does not sound right at all.“That is all? She is a hell of a mess, I swear I thought you had told her you were leaving tonight or something. Why are you so against it Marcus?” “Because Jackson, I am the one who has to walk away, knowing that it will destroy her. Me agreeing is basically saying, yeah I will fuck you then walk away, I won’t do that. I don’t understand how she can be happy to, surely she knows the hurt she will be in if I agree?”Maybe it is me, I am the issue, not Alena I am the one scared of walking away already and I know if I touch her I won’t. I can’t punish Alena for the way I feel, this is punishing her, I don’t deserve her asking for me to please her.“Marcus, sh
It is Monday, and Jackson leaves soon, and I know he will hate himself more than he hates Liam right now if he leaves and doesn’t sort it. So protecting my balls, I walk into the now-empty office.“Go see Liam.” He doesn’t even look up to me, he shakes his head and continues signing papers.“I mean it, you go and see Liam, he is the only family you have left Jackson. Go see him sort this shit out, I know Alena is hurting not seeing Georgina.” No one has even communicated, Georgina is sticking by Liam and Alena is sticking with Jackson, it needs sorting.“Go sort it, then Alena can at least say bye to Georgina.” He finally looks up and moves, standing in front of me.“I will, but only for Alena, I have no intention of accepting his apology none at all, but for her, I will.” He walks out, following him I watch him leave, Alena looking at him confused.“He is going to sort things out.” She smiles, clearly, she agrees it needs fixing“I am glad, he leaves in an hour and I don’t want him g
“What are you trying to do to me? Seriously.” I laugh stepping backwards, her body coming towards me,“Stay kitten.” She looks at me with an innocent look and slowly takes another step.“I thought I would come and help Master.” I shake my head looking at her, she is amazing.“Kitten, not happening, I would be fucking you right here for everyone to see all night” Her eyes spark with interest and it just makes me want to do it more.“Fine, no sex, I will just help you.” She steps forward now reaching me, her hand pushing into my jeans and grabbing my cock.“And how do you plan to do that kitten?” Someone walks in, Alena moving closer to my body hiding her hand, he walks past into a cubicle, and she smiles.“Well Master, first I am going to go so slow, so, so slow until you can’t take no more you drag me onto my knees. Then after that, I am going to tease slowly and gently with my mouth until you grab my hair Master, grab it so hard I scream and force me, gagging me” She smiles, does she
Arriving at the club we walk in, Georgina and Liam nowhere in sight.“You stay here Alena, and I will see if I can see them.” I leave her standing against the bar leaning over it ordering drinks, is she doing that on purpose? If she leans forward a bit more, we will see everything!Shaking my head I walk around and can’t see them anywhere, giving up I walk back to the bar, someone is standing with Alena. His arm is around her, and he is laughing. I recognise him, but I don’t like how his hand is slowly sliding down Alena’s back, and she is letting it.Walking over I stand behind them, Alena looking back and smiling.“Marcus, you remember Daz right?” Oh, I do remember Daz, pushing myself in between them his arm folds,“How are you Daz? Any new crazy girlfriends?” He flinches shaking his head.“No, no one yet still holding out for someone if I am honest.” I look at him, acting interested but really I am not, everyone knows that person is Alena.“Oh is she that good she’s worth staying s
“What’s happened?” Moving I hug her, my heart still beating in my chest.“You that is what, tell me next time please, I have been searching the house for twenty minutes, I even called Jackson.” Her arms wrap around me, hell I thought I had lost her, just like that.“Sorry, I didn’t think. I am fine.” She moves back, turning in a circle.“See, nothing wrong, totally fine. Let’s get packing.” Sitting we pack away a suitcase each for the kids. Alena carries on while I go down to cook, walking around the kitchen I make us dinner, Alena coming down looking exhausted already.“Early night for you tonight” She nods not even trying to argue with me, sitting we eat. Alena is quiet the whole time.“Why don’t you go get some sleep now? Honestly, there is no need for you to sit awake.” She nods and walks upstairs, I will even get the kids if she is still asleep, sitting in the living room I turn the tv on, sitting and watching random stuff.The time comes to get the kids, and as much as I want to
I throw on a pair of slacks and walk out, Jackson stood there in the hall waiting.“She came then.”I nod walking towards the room.“Good, the first thud I thought you fell off the bed, then the scream had me worried it was Max but checking her room was empty and the second thud came from your room, so I figured she had.”“Yeah, I walked in turned around, and she was standing there waiting”. I shake my head to myself, I took a risk there doing that to her, a huge risk.“What happened?” He looks at me sensing my doubt.“Nothing bad I don’t think. She just kept pushing for me to be me, to stop hiding and take control.” His eyes widen, he knows what I am like.“She cried, a lot but still didn’t tell me to stop even when I asked her she said not to. I need to clean the room.”“I will help, and you can tell me what you did, and how she reacted, so I know, I won’t do it myself, but if she gets that side from you that is a good thing.” Nodding I open the door walking in we clean the room, Ja
Walking to the office, I sit down with Jackson looking at me.“No way, even just to cuddle she didn't look comfortable. It may take time, if she is like this in a few weeks, it stops." Jackson nods, clearly agreeing her not being comfortable with doing anything with me with Jackson around isn’t good.“Right, bed for me, if you need me just come wake me." Walking out I go back to my room. Closing the door I rest my head against it and sigh. As I turn I stop, my eyes taking her in.“Sorry Master, I thought I should change first.” She stands smiling, her body looking perfect, heels and stockings, but other than that totally naked.“Would you like a picture?” She giggles.“Why would I need a picture when I have you?” I'm frozen, taking her in. I think it's just shock that she just did it, I thought she was in bed. She steps towards me, hitting the play button on the music. Her body stops before me, standing she looks at me, then her hands stroke down my chest, her hips swinging as she beg
Walking in Georgina and Alena are sat talking and looking through printouts of houses.“Right, for you two. I am happy with all these, Georgina has found houses local to each one as well. So you two decide which house and location are the best.” She hands us both a pile of sheets. Sitting at the table with go through them, Alena and Georgina cooking and talking.“You think she is giving a hint here Marcus?” I laugh and nod.“Yeah, considering for every one house in this country there are about four in America.”“Okay, if you're happy with it, throw the ones here away and pick from America?” He looks at me, and I nod.“Hell yeah, no arguing from me, let’s move to America.” Laughing I push the ones from this country away, sitting another hour we look over the pictures getting it down to two.“Alena, Georgina,” Jackson calls them over, sitting at the table Jackson places the two sheets down in front of them“Two houses, you two need to decide this part.” They turn over the sheets, Alena
My alarm wakes me and I get ready, walking down I grab a coffee, when Jackson comes down looking at me.“I’m coming, I left Alena a note, there is no way I am just going to sit and wait.” Grabbing his coat he follows me out, and I drive us the three hours to the court. The trip is done in silence. Nothing right now is right to talk about. I stop outside the court and both of us just look at the doors. Waiting for the other to move. I guess I will. Getting out of the car Jackson follows and we walk into the courtroom and sit down. We sit where they will see us. Jake is brought up first, then Roxy, their eyes catching ours but don't linger as they quickly avert their eyes away.Roxy's barrister stands up."My client made a full confession and admitted to all charges that were put before her. Yes, he was the one who used the gun, but she had no part in the torment of the family, the boxes, and such. She did not intend to physically harm anyone, and Mr Jake O'Brian used her broken mental
“In we go kitten.” I get out of the car walking into the house Alena follows me.“Honestly, after Melanie how did you have the energy for more?” Jackson laughs looking at her, and she looks embarrassed, seriously embarrassed.“Sorry.” Her head lowers, and we both look at her confused.“Oi, we agreed on no apologising, and why would you apologise anyway, you did nothing wrong in fact you did something right you let it happen around people that could see.”“Wait, surely she has at some point let you do that around people?” Jackson shakes his head, and I honestly feel shocked.“Other than at the business, those days when the blinds are up, and staff can check in no, never has she agreed or thrown caution to the wind and let me do what you did, so to me, that is an achievement.” He walks to Alena pulling her to him.“I love you kitten, go get a shower, I will be up in five minutes to cuddle and sleep.” He kisses her gently, and she walks off, turning to me I am ready for some sort of argu
