Broken Souls (6 page)

She found a supply of CD’s and gasped when she saw he had a classic section.
“Oh my
God
you have the Allman Brothers?” She slipped it in and fast forwarded it to her favorite
Tied To The Whipping Post.
When she had it blasting through the air, she began to strut her way back to the kitchen, grinning at Daniel who had his eyes all over her. I mean the man practically had the words
dance for me baby
written all over his face. As usual, she was compelled to give him whatever he wanted.

Sofia began to move her body to the rhythm, which she realized a few seconds in, was the perfect song to dance sexy to. Too bad she’d had no sexy dancing training. But she was a good winger. How hard could it be, she had rhythm and she surely had sexy flowing through her veins at the moment. Sofia let the feeling take her over and she presented Daniel her sensually swaying backside, her body riding the current of desire taking her over. Any time she knew something aroused Daniel, it was instant turn on for her. She placed both her hands on her ass as she twirled her hips to the tune,
matching the songs grinding tempo with flicks of her hips.

When she turned, Daniel was there. He pulled her against his body and put his hand on her ass and God if he didn’t start
dirty dancing
with her!

Sofia thought she’d orgasm on the spot at seeing the look in his handsome face, harsh with desire. His fingers dug into her
butt and forced her to the rhythm of his hunger, his cock pressed hard into her stomach. She was breathless as he led the erotic dance, moving his hips like he did when he was buried inside her.

F
ire flowed through Sofia’s veins as he firmly slid his hand along her leg and hiked it high onto his waist while staring at her lips.

She latched her arms around his neck and Daniel’s
fingers gripped her ass and lifted her. The next thing Sofia new, the wall was at her back and Daniel’s cock was slamming home deep. Everything blurred with pleasure waves as she buried her fingers in his hair and pulled when she felt his finger at her ass. God yes, she was beginning to love the combo.

He gasped against her mouth remaining completely still while buried deep. The only thing moving was his finger
, peeking in and out of her ass just enough to bring her to loud moaning and desperate begging. His cock throbbed and he captured her lips with a hungry kiss as he began to flick his hips. Sofia cried out right in his mouth and brought her hand to her clit, wanting what he’d given her before.

“Fuck yes, rub it baby.”

It was hard to make her clit work when he pounded into her that way but she aggressively tried till she felt that hard heat building higher while he rammed into her and gasped
do it do it do it
against her mouth
.

Her head thrashed against the wall as her orgasm approached. Once she had it in her grasp, she latched onto it and opened for it completely, letting it consume her mind and body, thrusting her into
Daniel Utopia.

When she became aware of things other than blinding bliss, she opened her eyes to Daniel’s forehead on her shoulder, breathing heavy. “Did you…did you have it?”

He gushed a laugh and nodded. “I did.”

He looked at her, smiling
, and she moaned loudly. “My God, what an orgasm, sorry, it sort of overwhelmed me.”

He kissed her softly. “Don’t you dare apologize
when I fuck you senseless.”

“Yes,
that you did.” She put her arms around his neck, not wanting to ever let go.

He walked with her through the open space, opened a door and turned on the light. A bathroom. While holding her, cock still buried, he turned on the shower. When it was the right temperature, he stepped inside with her and shut the door.

Sofia giggled. “You’re making my fantasies come true.”

“You fantasize about this?”

“Oh my God, twenty-four-seven, doc.”

He grinned at her like he was seeing something totally amazing before leaning in to kiss her softly. He turned and placed her back against the shower wall and continued to kiss her like her mouth were a
puzzle he had to solve with his tongue. “I can’t get enough of you,” he whispered. “You’re worse than any addiction I’ve ever had.”

She smiled happily against his lips. She wondered then. “Are we done showing me the bad man you aren’t?”

He smiled, still kissing her.

“You realize you’re wasting your time, right? Nothing you do will make me not love you.”

“That’s because I haven’t done the bad things. Sofia.”

“Oh
hhh you said the magic word. Does that mean you want to still?”

“I honestly don’t know.
” He changed the angle of his head.

“You don’t really want to hurt me,” she said between his non-stop kisses.

“Yes I do. And don’t.”

She ran her fingers up his hair. “You’re conflicted, I know. Soon, I’ll win.”

He smiled and pulled his head back. “Is this a contest for you?”

She stared into his eyes. “No, a fight.” She looked at his lips
and ran her thumb over it. “For the sweet man I love.”

“When you say that it makes me want to show you how wrong you are.”

“How about fight on my side,” she said incredulous. “You’ve been fighting your monster all this time, resisting, why not let me fight with you? Help you?” She begged with small kisses on his lips, and his cock got hard again.

“Help me,” he muttered. “
You keep saying that, thinking that.”

“I
keep
knowing
that. I mean seriously, what more do you need? Just tell me and we might be able to work something similar out, like if it’s too much we can create a simulation, like those things you ride where you think you’re doing the real thing but it’s just an illusion?”

Daniel smiled his cute little boy smile that Sofia adored. The one that he might have smiled before he was hurt by the ones who should’ve protected him.
The one that said,
do you really think it’s possible, that there’s hope for me?

Sofia, held his face. “I don’t want you to think that I don’t love you exactly the way you are, but I can’t stand to see you hating yourself, it’s wrong in so many ways because what happened to you was not your fault.”

He looked down and shook his head. “No matter how many ways I tell myself that, I can’t help but feel dirty and bad. Especially when I give in to it.”

Sofia smothered his face with kisses. “And I get that, we just have to find a way to make you feel clean again.”

“I don’t remember ever feeling clean.”

“But you know that’s not true, the doctor in you must know that’s not true, baby…it’s all a horrible illusion that feels very real, your body was abused, your mind was abused, of course they’re going to feel tainted, but you and I can work it out, I’ll help you, we’ll try different things and if it doesn’t work, we move on to try something else.”

He took a deep breath and let it out, his head still lowered.  “What if nothing works, what if I’m stuck this way, then what will you do?”

She forced him to look at her and it tore at her heart to see the pain
, guilt, and fear in his eyes. “Then I will love you the way that I do now. Even if you never overcome a damn thing Daniel, I will love you, but I promise you I will work on this with you and you may not overcome everything but you will overcome many things, you’re such an amazing man, look at what you’ve done with your life.”

“It’s all a lie.”

“Maybe you think it is, but regardless, you’ve done a damn good job of creating a very convincing life for yourself, and if you are strong enough to pull that off baby, me and you together will do amazing things.”

Daniel
looked at her, raw pain and emotion storming his blue eyes making them dark. He pulled her close to him and hugged her tight. “I feel like anything is possible as long as I have you. When I’m with you, I’m invincible.”

Chapter Six

“Breakfast at sunrise.” Sofia looked all around at the peaceful morning feeling like she were in a fairytale with her prince. A mist draped the air all around them. “Makes me think we’re in an enchanted forest where giants live and this is their smoky parlor.”

Daniel angled
a smile at her, his gaze sliding over her tattered pink terry cloth robe with the faded blue flowers. “You look cute in that.” He pulled the small table with their breakfast and coffee in reaching distance. He got the plate of fruit and sat exactly next to her on the black double patio swing with the fat cushions. He matched it in his black satin robe loosely tied. He held a red grape before her mouth and Sofia smiled and let him feed it to her.

“I love watching you eat,” he muttered, presenting a piece of banana next.

“You’re weird.”

He smiled and slid a piece of orange along her lip. “I am.”

Several bites of fruit and strawberry cream cheese bagel later, Sofia whimpered, “Oh please, my coffee.” 

“Yes mam.” He
presented her the red ceramic mug and she took it, holding it on her drawn up knees and taking the first sip.

“Mmmm
, perfect as usual.” She gazed at the scenery all around her. “This place is
gorgeous.
”

He got his own cup
and snuggled in close to her, fixing her so that her legs stretched over his lap. Sofia’s stomach flipped at seeing the muscles ripple in his chest. “It’s been in the family for a while.”

“Really.”

Daniel took a sip of coffee. “Yeah, once upon a time, before my mother died, we’d come here. I only remember her though.” He gave a soft smile. “She’d take me to the lake beyond the trees behind us and let me throw stuff in it.”

“Sounds like good memories.”

“Maybe. That’s all I remember. Or choose to.”

“
Oh.”

He gave her his lazy smile that made him
cream on herself
handsome. “Tell me something good. In your child hood.”

She smiled and looked up, thinking. “Welllll
it’s nothing spectacular, that’s for sure. We were very poor. Or at least according to the standards of the day. No phone, no air condition. My father was a very good man. A good dad. He raised all seven of his kids by himself.”

“Seven?”

She nodded and smiled.

“Where was your mother?”

Sofia took a sip of coffee and shrugged. “Working out her own issues, I guess. She had a hard life. Married young. Had all her kids in a row, boom boom boom, a year apart.” She laughed. “Anyway, my parents were weird. My dad liked my mom’s sister and my mom liked my dad’s brother. At one point, they lived all together in the same house. Till my grandmother got wind of it. She came and got all of us and took us to live with her in that scary two-story house.”

“Rachel?”

“Yep. She was such a good woman. I can remember drinking coffee milk in the morning out of real coffee cups. With a saucer and everything. And she had these cute tiny spoons that I loved.”

“And your grandfather?”

“Ohhh, paw-paw.”

“Paw-paw?” He chuckled.

“Yeah, paw-paw and maw-maw. He was
mean
and scary as hell. Cussed all the time and hated us. He hated all kids I think. Anytime you’d walk in the room he’d start, “You-you-you- gawd damn son-of-a-bitch.’ And you never got too close to him because he had these giant claws and he’d try and grab hold of you and scratch you. And you definitely didn’t want to drive with him.”

“No?”

“Oh my God, the man drove like a lunatic. Eighty miles an hour down country roads.” Sofia remembered, “Once my brother yelled, ‘Paw-paw you have a flat!’ Because he was doing like sixty nearing an old twenty-five mile an hour skinny bridge by our house.”

“Ohh hooo,” Daniel said, laughing.

“I know. So he stops the car and checks for a flat and of course there wasn’t one. But I’m convinced our brother saved our life.”

He slid his hand up to her knee. “No doubt.”

“We eventually went live with my mother and uncle. Not sure what daddy was doing but I think we went see him on the weekends. But I remember the day he came for us for good. Piled us all in his old sky blue car and we never went back. I was in the first grade and I hated that school we went to.”

“I bet you were precious. But why did your dad come?”

Sofia shook her head. “Our uncle was a bad man. Did some things that my daddy got wind of.”

“Like what?”

“Oh, nothing sexual,” Sofia assured him at hearing the dread in his tone. “Well, not to me. I think he was molesting my sisters but that didn’t come out till way later. It was my brother, he hit him and made his nose bleed and that was that.”

“And your dad came take you guys?”

“Yeah, I think he was planning on it all along but had to get a house. He took us straight to an old but clean shack in the country and we lived with him there.”
