2024-10-29 19:42:56Summer's POV
Summer listened to the sound of water running as Asher showered. She had used the opportunity while he wasn't in the room to call and touch base with Reggie and Taylor, just to let them know that she had arrived at their chosen destination safe and sound. Promising to meet with them the following day she hung up and waited for Asher to finish washing.
Despite knowing that she shouldn't be she couldn't help but feel nervous as she listened to the water turn off. After all she and Asher had already done everything there was to do, but she still felt like the eighteen year old her as she began to feel slight expectation at what would happen with just the two of them sharing a room.
As the bathroom door opened and steam rushed out Summer felt her heart constrict painfully. Emerging from the room was a very shirtless and still slightly dripping wet Asher. She couldn't deny that the man looked damn good. Time had truly

She and Asher had arrived at their current location five minutes prior and were currently waiting for Reggie and Taylor to make their appearance.She knew that they were ten minutes early for their appointment time, but she just couldn't stop the anxiety that was rushing through her."Time won't go faster with you watching it." Asher who was smoking a cigarette noted."That's a bad habit." Summer barked back taking a hit at the addiction that Asher had developed within the six years that they weren't together."Yeah, so I've heard." Asher said while taking another drag.Sighing Summer checked her watch once more. She knew that she shouldn't take her feelings out on Asher, but she just couldn't control the emotions that were swirling through her.It had already been over twenty four hours since she had run away from her father,

Theresa, Reggie and Taylor's sister cooed while hugging Summer tightly. "I was wonderin' when we would see you again.""Don't hog her Theresa." Came Vincent their fathers voice. "It has been too long Summer.""I know I'm sorry." Summer responded hugging him."Summer!" Tracy and Melissa echoed in unison running up and hugging Summer violently."It's good to see everyone." Summer said stepping back to join Asher who stood silently watching. "I want to introduce someone to all of you."As she spoke everyone's gazes found their way to Asher and had begun to size him up. From the way they were looking at him Summer could tell they were trying to determine if he should be trusted."Who is he?" Came Josh'

Summer's POVAsher's chest rose and fell as soft breaths left his mouth. He had fallen asleep a lot earlier on leaving Summer awake. They had had their fun and Summer's buzz was now completely gone.Even though she knew that she should be sleeping she just couldn't calm her racing thoughts.As seconds, minutes, hours passed she grew more and more anxious wondering when her father or Michael would make their move. She wished that it was nothing more of a worry of IF rather than a worry of WHEN.She couldn't help but find herself wondering what would happen if she just up and left right now and went back to him. Would he end up killing her? Would he let her off? Would whatever happened be better than living in her current state of unknown?Sighing she tried to push those thoughts away and focus on the sleeping Asher in front of her. Even though she had tried her best to keep him at arms length here she was.&n

Summer's POVThe street outside Summer's hotel was busy with early morning traffic and people heading off to their jobs and school.Summer and Asher had woken up extra early that morning to go and meet the Wilson's to begin a crash course of training. Although Asher could hold his own against three of her fathers men, Summer was still worried that he wouldn't be able to handle more. So she was determined to give him the most help she could.Yawning Asher looked to Summer and smiled, "You shouldn't look so tense, it draws more attention to you.""Don't you think you're a bit too lax?" Summer asked pulling the cap she was wearing farther down to cover her face. "This isn't some game."She didn't necessarily mean to snap at Asher, but he was acting like things were simpler than they were."Listen..." Asher sighed stepping forward and placing a hand on Summer's shoulder. "If this is the last few minutes I have in th

Summer's POV Summer and Asher arrived at the Wilson's hideout a little after ten in the morning. They were due to meet there at nine, but after being tailed they had ended up running late. "What took you so long?" Reggie demanded now as Summer walked up to him. "We were just about to send some people out to look for you." "We were being followed." Summer explained pulling her hat off. "Had to make a little detour to lose them." Reggie's face paled, "What do you mean you were followed?" "Exactly what she said." Asher spoke up frowning. "Someone was following us so we had to make a run for it." "I wasn't talking to you." Reggie snapped narrowing his gaze at Asher. "I don't care." Asher challenged. Sighing Summer shook her head, "Can the both of you stop with your pissing contest?" "He started it." Reggie grumbled crossing his arms. From beside her Summer could hear Asher snickering.
The Dark soul Chapter 35: Where is He
Reggie and Taylor stood on either side of Summer as they stared at Michael's man who was bleeding prefusely out of his nose. He had tried to threaten Summer in front of the brother's and recieved a punch straight to the nose that Summer had already broken."Are you going to do the honors?" Reggie asked now looking to Summer."I can I suppose." Summer muttered.Her heart wasn't in it, all she could do was keep thinking of worst case scenerios of Asher the longer he was being held captive. She didn't have the time to torture this man to get him to talk, but she didn't have any other choice, obtaining Asher's location was the main priority."Can you go get me a pair of plyers?" Summer asked turning to Reggie."Sure thing boss." Reggie said rushing off leaving Summer and Taylor alone with the man."Are you sure you don't want me to beat the shit out of him?" Taylor asked cracking his knuckles. He had a look of bloodlust in his eyes.&

"What do you want to do with him?" Reggie asked eyeing the man that was now hunched over panting after being shocked one too many times."Put him out of his misery." Summer said shrugging."You want me to do it or do you want to do it?" Reggie asked pulling his gun from his belt.Summer considered, even though the man had talked and told them where Asher was being held she was still pretty pissed about what had happened.Smiling Summer held out her hand. "Let me do the honors."Nodding Reggie handed the weapon over to Summer. As she took the gun from Reggie's hand Summer could see nothing but images of Asher being beaten and tortured. Not even batting an eyelash she pulled the trigger allowing a bullet to fly and connect directly between the mans eyes sending him flying backwards in his chair and landing back first on the ground.Handing the weapon back to Reggie who stood staring wide eyed Summer kept her gaze fixed on the
The Dark soul Chapter 37: Rescue Part: 1
Summer paced back and forth in front of the Wilson's secret hideout. The sun outside had begun to set sending an eery red glow across the entire area, fitting given that there was a chance that blood would be spilt this evening. It was almost like a vivid premonition of what was to come.Reggie, Taylor, Vincent, and Theresa had needed to prepare themselves for Asher's rescue mission, leaving Summer all alone waiting. Even though she was anxious to get Asher back, Summer just couldn't stop the feeling of foreboding that she was feeling.Before any missions she always felt like this, it was when she questioned her mortality the most. She knew thinking morbidly wasn't a good idea, but she just couldn't help it. Knowing that she was rushing into danger and that she didn't know how many people were waiting for her always scared the hell out of her."You should stop that before you end up making it to the earth's crust." Reggie joked appe

Asher yelled just as a police officer held out an arm to stop him from coming any closer. "LET ME GO!""I'm sorry but you can't move any closer." The police responded calmly while easily holding the frantic Asher back."Please!" Asher begged trying to break free.The longer Asher was held back by the officer the more his panic and fear grew.

Summer's POV "....How much....." The irrirated voice drifted to Summer through her hazy state. "......Longer..." As Summer began to come to she felt a chill run up her spine at the voices that were breaking through her hazy state. Memories of what had happened right before she blacked out began to drift to her as she slowly became aware. "Did you use too much electricity?" Michael demanded sounding ready to explode. "Does it really matter?" Jackson responded in annoyance. "Worst that happens the bitch dies, best she wakes up an idiot." Summer had to stop herself from laughing at her father's harsh words, neither man had noticed that she had woken up yet and she wanted to keep it that way. "The men will be here soon." Michael huffed, "If she doesn't wake up soon what good will she be for them?" "I'm sure they'd enjoy even if she was asleep." Jackson chuckled. No longer able to remain calm Summer shot

Summer's POV "Leave them out of this." Summer hissed keeping her gaze fixed on her father. "This is between us and neither one have anything to do with this." "Son?" The word could just be heard through the earpiece Summer was wearing. "Did he just say son?" Trying to ignore the chaos that was beginning to break out on the other side of the line Summer watched as Jackson began to move towards her. "But they do." He said now laughing. "Had neither existed then you wouldn't have been disobedient. You would have listened to everything I said and been a good submissive daughter." "I wouldn't have been submissive even if they didn't exist." Summer pointed out in disgust. "People aren't tools you can use as you please." "Oh aren't they?" Jackson countered as he closed the distance between them. "Everyone is a dispensable tool to me." Summer didn't have enough time to react as Jackson produced a taz

"What's the plan dad?" Reggie asked once everyone was settled and ready to listen. "Better be a good one." "I think we should have Summer purposely give herself away." Vincent explained. "ARE YOU INSANE!" Reggie yelled hitting the table. "Are you going insane in your old age?" "Hear him out." Summer murmured piqued by Vincent's suggestion. "What do you have in mind?" "I have some people on the inside that Jackson still isn't aware of." Vincent continued to explain. "They can keep us updated on what is happening with Summer and help us get on the inside." "But what if he hurts her?" Asher demanded taking Reggie's side on thinking the old mans plan wasn't the best. "Could you let him finish please." Summer snapped shutting up the two men. "Vincent please continue." "As I was saying," Vince grumbled, "we can let her get on the inside...." "DAD!" Reggie bellowed cutting the man off again.
The Dark soul Chapter 45: The plan
Summer waited until Asher was fully asleep before she snuck out of the room and headed towards the common room of the Wilson's hideout to find the twins and their father still awake and deep in discussion. From the looks on their faces, it was clear that whatever they were talking about was pretty serious.Noticing Summer's presence they lifted their heads and fixed their eyes on her as she made her way towards them."What's up?" Summer asked as she reached. "I didn't mean to disrupt you.""It's no big deal." Reggie quickly said. "This involves you too anyway.""Oh yeah?" Summer asked sitting down beside Vincent. "What's going on?""Your father called." Vincent said slowly weighing Summer's reaction to this news. "He wants to have a meeting with you.""With me?" Summer repeated. "Did he say when?""Tomorrow." Reggie respoded as his face darkened. "You can't possibly be planning on going."
The Dark soul Chapter 44: Father and Son Argue
"You've grown some balls Summer." Allen whistled after Summer finished telling her story.During her tale Asher had managed to get an arm around her pulling her to sit on the bed beside him. Even after she had obliged he hadn't removed the arm, making it clear he was showing her emotional support. Summer appreciated the notion, but the looks she was recieving from everyone in the room due to it was a little much for her."It was a long time comin' if you think about it." Reggie pointed out in Summer's defense. "Should she just has stuck around with Michael all her life?"At the mention of Michael's name Asher's arm tightened around Summer's waist a movement that went unnoticed to everyone except Summer."I think she should have gone about this smarter." Allen countered shooting Reggie a look. "To do it this way, this was just asking to die.""She was almost killed before this!" Asher who had remained quiet until now snapped.

"Are you sure it is safe to move him?" Summer asked as Reggie and Taylor began lifting Asher off of his hospital bed. Wincing Asher tried to feign being okay, but by the look of pain on his face it was easy to tell that he was hurting. Summer couldn't help but blame herself as she watched, she was sure the exertion from earlier hadn't helped matters, even if he seemed fine during, it didn't mean that he actually was. "Stop being a worried mother." Reggie chuckled as he and Taylor began to move towards the exit. "Your man's going to be just fine." "He isn't...." Summer began only to stop mid sentence with a look from Asher. With everything that had been going on Summer wasn't entirely sure what they were. They hadn't set any particular label and they hadn't even really discussed anything. To her they were just two people who were sleeping together, but she didn't know what Asher thought. Shaking his head Reggie let out a

The sun had fully gone down by the time Summer rolled away from Asher gasping for breath. For a man who had been severely beaten and had even had surgery he was still so full of energy. Despite Summer attempting to stop him and insisting he needed rest he just couldn't be satiated."Are you okay?" Asher asked turning his head to look at Summer. "Was that too much?""I should be asking you that." Summer countered still trying to catch her breath. "You're a patient after all.""Minor wounds." Asher insisted reaching towards Summer again."No more." Summer said sternly swatting Asher's hand away. "You need to focus on recovery.""I think I've shown that I'm just fine." Asher pointed out."Be serious please." Summer insisted sitting up and scooting to the edge of the hospital bed.She wasn't sure how long it would take for the doctor to come back and take a look at Asher, but she didn't want to be caught comp

"Are you done?" Asher asked as Summer's tears finally dried up.Nodding Summer sniffled, "Yeah, sorry about that."Feeling embarassed she tried not to look at Asher. She couldn't believe that she had just spent all that time crying like a baby while the person that should be crying watched."Don't say sorry." Asher muttered as he attempted to smile. "Especially to me.""But..." Summer tried only to be stopped by Asher shaking his head."I told you that you aren't the one to blame for this." He repeated sternly. "You tried to keep me away and I was the stubborn one that refused.""None of this is fair to you." Summer sighed. "I should have never let you get involved.""Too late for that now." Asher pointed out. "And even if we repeated the same situation I would have made the same choices all over again.""Why are you so kind?" Summer asked sitting up to look into Asher's eyes. "I don't
