MATT

There
were no words said between us as I headed for home, she just sat there with her
arms folded in her lap looking out the window at the scenery. She seemed so
detached, so removed, like she was just going through the motions. I slammed
the car into park and turned to her. “Do you even see what you’re looking at
Kadyn?” she turned wide eyes to me, her face drawn and so fucking sad I wanted
to hit something. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, she wasn’t supposed to be
like this. She was too young, too beautiful and just too fucking perfect for
this to be her life. I won’t let it be, if I had to drag her kicking and
screaming into our life, the life I wanted to give her, share with her, then I
will.

I
got out of the car and walked around to her side, we were just a few minutes
from the house but that was okay. I helped her out of the car and walked her
through the trees and into the little meadow in the clearing. “Look around you
Kadyn, what do you see? No don’t tense up he’s not here, he has nothing to do
with this place it’s just you and me here now, tell me, what do you see?” She took
her time looking around at the wild flowers that grew between the grass and
trees. The sun was still in its waking up stages and the light on the leaves
spoke of new beginnings.

“Do
you see the wide open space, the wildflowers? Look at the sky; see how beautiful
and clear it is? This would be a nice place for a picnic, I think we’ll do that
soon.” I let her take in the beauty of her surroundings; I wouldn’t be
surprised if this was the first time she’d allowed herself the luxury. I refuse
to study similar cases to hers, I might be wrong in my thinking but I didn’t
want the influence. All I know is what I want for her, I understand the danger
but apart from that I wasn’t willing to give an inch. It’s just not in my make
up to let someone else dictate my life and my choices. When I made the choice,
when my heart settled on her she became a part of me, anything that hurt her
hurts me, and there was no way I was going to let anything hurt her. That
thought gave me an idea.

“Let’s
go.” I was happy to see that she was almost reluctant to leave. When she forgot
to be afraid she could enjoy the same things as the rest of us, so it was the
fear that I had to conquer first and foremost. We made the rest of the trip
with her hand in mine. My anger was beginning to fade as we pulled through the
gate. I could hear the others in the back already as we walked through the
house and headed in that direction. “Change of plans guys. Carrie and Nessa I
need you guys, meet me in the gym in ten.”

I
took her up to my room and dug through my drawers for an old t-shirt and
sweats. “Here put these on.” she looked at them questioningly but went into the
bathroom to put them on. She looked a mess in my too big clothes and it was so
cute I had to kiss her. “Good morning my Kitten.” I held onto her after the
kiss, gently rocking her back and forth.

“Good
morning Matthew. Why am I wearing your clothes?”

“You’ll
see come on.” I took her down to the second floor where the others were waiting
in the gym. I’d asked them to join us so she wouldn’t feel alone or some shit,
and because I was about to put her in some situations that might not be the
most comfortable for someone who’d been through what she had and having other
females around might make things easier. At least that was my thinking.

“Okay,
today is the first day of your self defense classes ladies.” Nessa started
grumbling about her nails and Carrie looked over at her husband and shrugged. I
guess she thought he had something to do with it but he was just as surprised
by the announcement as they were. He didn’t say anything though just got in
line behind the girls followed by the douche. I’ve never taught a self-defense
class in my life but I knew the power of feeling empowered, it was the first
step in giving my woman that boost she needed, hopefully.

“Okay,
first we’re gonna do some Tae Bo, loosen up those muscles and get your range of
motion and hand to eye coordination working as it should.” It also teaches you
how to punch and kick as well as strengthening the arms and legs which is what
I was after.

That
was the first of many classes for the next three weeks; we did it every other
day and in between I walked her to her appointments with doc, or we hung out
together. I never gave her too much time to dwell on her past even keeping her
on the phone late at night until she fell asleep. I had decided on a plan of
action and so far it was going perfectly.

James
had called two days after our meet with the news that he had landed and was
casing the place, of course he used cryptic codes but I got the drift. On the
second day under the guise of a cable guy he’d entered the residence while
Bruno was at work and wired his house and phones. Later that night I received
the pic of Bruno in bed asleep. I was ready to call him back when he sent me
something disturbing, something that more than anything that had passed so far
had brought me to the brink of murder.

“I’m
guessing this is yours.” That was the message James had sent before he sent me
pictures of a room, no, more like a shrine, in Bruno’s house. There were
Pictures of Kadyn in all stages of maturity from the age of fourteen until
maybe just before she left. I’ve never felt such gut wrenching fear in my life
until then. I’d jumped in one of my jeeps and headed for the diner never mind
it was eleven o’ clock at night and I’d only taken her home an hour earlier.
I’d run past her father and up the stairs to make sure that she was safe. That
was the first night she’d slept in my bed. It was a little hard to convince her
dad but in the end she’s an eighteen- year old girl with a mind of her own and
they both knew I wasn’t going to hurt her.

After
I’d taken her home and put her to bed in my bed I’d walked outside and looked
at the rest of the evidence James had sent me. The sick fuck had shots of her
in her bathroom, getting dressed, even eating. How the fuck had the cops missed
that? Had they looked at this guy at all? I’d called James right away with one
order, the only thing that could be done. At first I wanted to torch the shit
to the ground but that would mean him having to move and me finding his ass
again, not to mention her mother was too close and a fire was not the easiest
thing to contain.

“Take
them all down and take them somewhere and burn them.”

“You sure you wanna do that
boss? They could be used as evidence.”

“No evidence we’re not going in
that direction her mother tried that shit and got nowhere. Besides I read up on
the psychology of these fucks and they get off on seeing their victims in any
capacity they can even in a courtroom. He’s never to lay eyes on her again. No
I want to drive this fucker over the edge, I want him either dead or in a cage
but she’ll have nothing to do with it.”

“Suit yourself, I’ll remove them
tomorrow. So do you need me to hang around here for anything else?”

“Nah not for now, but maybe
later I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do next. I need to wait and see his
reaction.”

“Well
everything is hooked up all you need to do is turn on your computer and it will
all be there.”

That
had been a little more than two weeks ago, and in that time we’ve spent almost
every waking moment together and she’d slept in my bed every other night. The
only reason I let her out was because I knew she still needed that contact with
her dad. I was trying to figure out how to give her the time she needed with
him during daylight hours and keep her with me at night. Though we hadn’t had
sex yet which was beginning to drive me insane, we did graduate from just
innocent kisses to petting. Like now, I have her on my lap as she plays on the
computer. My hand is under her skirt, my fingers teasing around her pussy lips.
There was no tension in her body, no fear, so I carried on until my fingertips
touched the slight wetness that had gathered at the lips of her sweet flesh.

“Open
for me baby.” She shifted her legs slightly open and my heart thumped in my
chest when she rested her head back against my shoulder. I spread her legs over
my knees opening her up even wider to my advances as I thrust just the tip of
one finger into her tightness. She was soft, hot and tight as fuck. Pulling out
my finger I tasted her essence on my tongue before turning her lips to mine for
a kiss. I kept her mouth under mine as I went on a quest with my fingers, this
time pushing two deeper into her pussy. Her response was electric; she ground
her ass down hard into my straining cock as I fought to hang onto my control.

Her
kisses had grown more and more voracious in the last two weeks or so, like she
wanted more but didn’t know how or what. I knew, I understood her body’s pleas
but I wasn’t about to rush her, I’d come to enjoy the slow build up. I loved
the little teasing games she would play, like rubbing against me while we
walked or the way she just let her hand so innocently graze against my zipper
sometimes. I especially liked when she sat on my lap and massaged my cock with
her ass like she’d been doing tonight, only this time I’d decided to up the
stakes just a little and boy was it paying off.

I
had no set time in my head as to when she might be ready I just knew I didn’t
want to scare her in anyway. But if her reaction was anything to go by she was
almost there. I finger fucked her while she sucked on my tongue and hummed into
my mouth. “I want to eat you baby.” Her eyes widened but I didn’t give her time
to protest as I lifted her and placed her across my bed. I pulled her panties
off all the way and lifted her skirt around her middle barely giving myself
time to enjoy the pink softness of her pussy lips before I was diving in
headfirst.

I
lapped at her first, inhaling her heady bouquet. Her scent made my cock jump
and weep and I released it from the confines of my sweats. I stroked myself
while licking at her flesh keeping her open with the fingers of one hand. “Hold
your legs open for me Kitten.” She was quick to pull her legs up and back
holding them behind the knees spreading
herself
open
for me which only fed my encouragement. If she weren’t careful she’d find
herself impaled on my cock, which hadn’t fucked in months and had never wanted
anything as much as he wanted her.

I
growled into her pussy it was so good, my mind filled with images of me
covering her. I had one moment of doubt as I tested her tightness with my
tongue. How was I going to fit inside her? At ten and a half inches I was
afraid I might tear her or some shit. I’ll just have to work on loosening her
up with my tongue and fingers in the next few days, because I knew I wouldn’t
wait much longer to take her. When I touched her swollen clit with my thumb it
was all she needed to flood my mouth with sweet pussy juice, which I sucked up
like nectar. I tested her readiness by laying my ready to erupt cock against
her pussy and stroking until I came. It set her off again and almost blew the
top off my head.

“You’re
so fucking responsive.” The thought that I might’ve missed this, might never
have known it had me grabbing her up in my arms and holding her close as she
rubbed her pussy against my cock getting all that she needed from me to make
her feel good. We both started laughing for some strange reason; maybe we both
realized we’d passed a hurdle that we had both been afraid of. Knowing that
there was no lingering fear, that she could actually let herself go enough to
enjoy was very fulfilling. I wanted to do everything to her and with her at
once but pulled back.

“I can’t
wait to get inside you it’s going to be so good.” My shy girl buried her face
in my neck and squeezed me tighter.

That
night as with the others in the last few weeks, as soon as she was asleep, I
snuck from the room with my laptop. It was time to fuck with her tormentor. In
the past few days and nights I’ve sent him images of him asleep in his bed.
I’ve made transcripts of conversations he’s had on the phone but best of all is
making the weird sounds in the middle of the night that carried through his
house and made him think either the place was haunted or he was going crazy,
though I think he was already bat shit crazy to do the shit he’d done to a little
girl.

I
heard Josh slip out behind me a few seconds later. His shit had started too in
the form of the case involving the kidnapping of his wife getting underway. I
was going to have to testify, but now instead of dreading it I felt a sense of
purpose. I now accepted that I was not responsible for Patti’s actions and that
the things she’d done came from the person she is and would’ve been regardless
of whether or not I was in her life. I also looked at the whole situation
differently now because of Kadyn, instead of looking for excuses or reasons
behind what she’d almost caused I see it for the pure evil that it was. Of
course having Kadyn next to me to ease the blow went a long way to helping me
deal with the bullshit, but I was grateful everyday that I’d dodged that
fucking bullet.

“Patti’s
dad called earlier.” I whispered the words to Josh as soon as he sat next to me
on the lounge chair next to the pool. The only light was the half moon that was
right overhead and reflecting off the surface of the water. The night was calm
and still, everything had gone to sleep it sounded like. It was just us two
alone in the night with the shit that we had to do to protect our women. “What
the fuck did he want?”

“He
knows it’s putting me in an awkward position but if I could just be a character
witness maybe the court will go easier on her now that her lawyers have talked
her into taking a plea deal.” There was no emotion in my voice as I relayed the
message because I no longer had any feeling about it one way or the other. She
didn’t think about me or my family when she did that shit, she was thinking
only of her own selfishness and to this day I still don’t understand what the
fuck her problem was. It’s not like Carrie was taking anything away from her.
That just goes to show how unhinged she was.

“What
did you tell him?” I looked at my brother like he was stupid and he held up his
hands in surrender. “I’m just asking bro, I wouldn’t blame you if you had a
moment of weakness, she was your girl for a long time…”

“Joshua,
don’t be an ass. You’re my brother you know how we stick together, there’s no
way I could ever do such a thing. I would never stand with anyone against you
you
know that. And the fact that she’s dead wrong makes it
even more fucked up that he’d even ask. Dad I think would’ve made us own up to
our shit and let the chips fall as hard as it might be for him to do. This guy
is just interested in saving his little monster and his family name. Fuck him.”

“Okay
bro as long as you’re not feeling any pressure, you don’t have to come to the
sentencing hearing if you don’t want to. Carrie and I are thinking of skipping
it just to send the message that we’re over her ass already.”

“Damn I never thought of it like
that that’s cold.”

“Yeah and
I’m hoping the other fuck dies in prison I’m still trying to get the word
circulated that he’s a rapist asshole but they have him in solitary or some
shit for his protection. And the castrated one is of no concern to me anymore
since he’s like half a shell these days.”

“Do you
have any remorse for any of that Josh?”

“Not an
ounce, people wanna act like deranged animals then let’s give them what they
want, like this fuck here. What’re we doing to him tonight?”
