Her father answered the door on the second knock. He looked about the same as his picture, which I'd had my security snap while they were doing a background check on him. I liked knowing who I'm dealing with, and since he was not only the law in this town but the father of the young woman, I meant to claim I needed to know as much as I possibly could.

It's a good thing I had, but a picture was one thing, seeing the man in the flesh quite another. I called on all the etiquette-training mom had tried to drill into me as a youth not to do what I so badly wanted. I had to think of my little Blossom.

"Yes, can I help you?" Clifton Sanders was a forty-five-year-old fit, attractive male who took good care of himself. All of that was obvious at my first cursory glance. He didn't look like the friendliest of people, though, if the look on his face was any indication. Before the day was over, I was sure to put a frown on his already scowling face; I was afraid.

"Mr. Sanders, the name's Gideon Thorpe. I'm here about a personal matter. Would you mind if we took this inside?" He studied me from head to toe, taking in the expensive cut of my suit, the limo behind me, and the two men standing guard at my side.

I'd chosen the limo today for just this purpose. I wanted to make a statement, that of power and utter control. It wasn't every day I flexed my muscles, but in this case, there wasn't anything I wouldn't do to get my way. "I suppose come on in."

He led us to his living room and took a seat on the couch while pointing me to one of the two armchairs across from him. I ignored him and remained standing, first tenet of the top dog. Always hold the position of power. There was a huge portrait of who I assumed was Ashley's deceased mother over the fireplace mantle.

That, more than anything in my reports, told me about the man. It also helped me to understand a little better why he was raising his daughter the way he was. I felt the first niggling of anger hit my gut but held it at bay. It was never a good thing to jump the gun.

Things could appear one way on paper and be entirely different in reality. This was a delicate situation, so I thought it best to proceed with caution, feel him out, so to speak. One wrong move on his part, though, and I'll show him just who the fuck he was dealing with. I came here with the words of the report fresh in my mind but yet willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. So far, I wasn't too impressed with what I'd seen.

"Before we begin, let me just say that I have with me any documents you might need to verify anything I might say to you." I saw the confusion cross his face.

"You said this was personal?"

"Yes, I'll get to that. I think you should know I've had you investigated before coming here today. Both your personal and professional life and though you may not know me, I am an honest, upstanding man of my word."

"I've heard of you; who in these parts haven't?" He leaned forward with a look of what the hell is this about on his face, but I wasn't ready to give him anything quite yet.

"Good, I have a reputation in the business world that's quite separate from who I am as a man. I like to keep my personal life just that, personal."

"Well, what is it that you think I can do for you, Mr. Thorpe?"

"Gideon, please, and it's quite simple. I want your daughter. No, let me reiterate, I mean to have your daughter." Never beat around the bush; it's just a waste of fucking time.

His anger was instantaneous and expected.

"Get the hell out of my house." He got to his feet in anger, but that little show of aggression didn't phase me; I stood my ground and stared him down. "No."

"What?" He stumbled back as if I'd hit him. I could imagine a man in his position accustomed to giving orders and having them followed without question would have a hard time with the word. I wonder how often he'd let her say the word? The fuck.

"I came here in good faith when I really didn't need to, as a courtesy, out of...respect, I guess you can say. But we both know that there was no need. Ashley is of age after all..."

"But she's still under my care."

"For now, yes, and if you handle this the right way, she just might remain there for a little while longer. But if you force my hand, I'm afraid I will take her away from you completely."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"It's quite simple, I want your daughter, I want to take care of her, and who knows, maybe this thing could last forever; as it stands, I don't see my future without her in it. I can make her very happy in life. Or you can leave her to the wiles of some young buck who might use and discard her..."

"My daughter does not date." He was turning red with anger, and it gave me pause. There was something more going on here than just a man concerned with the welfare of his young daughter and more than the initial report had intimated though what we'd found was fucked up enough.

What that something was, I'll have to wait until the more in-depth report I'd ordered was in front of me. All I cared about right now was paving the way for her and my relationship.

"How long do you think that will last, hmm? Do you think to keep her under lock and key for the rest of her life? Is that what your dear wife would've wanted for her only daughter?"

"You know nothing of my wife."

"Bit of a free spirit our Dana, wasn't she? Tell me, does your daughter know that you blame her for her mother's death?"

He turned white as a sheet and looked around the room as if seeking an escape.

"You can't; you don't..."

"What, I can't know that? But I do, like I said, I had you investigated, not just what you show the world, but what you do in secret. And yes, I know about your secret rendezvous and what's said and done there." I smirked at him.

"You know what I see; I see a beautiful, vibrant Blossom that's being smothered to death by you because you can't get over the death of the woman you loved. But how much could you have really loved her if you seek to destroy her daughter's spirit? A daughter that by all accounts she loved dearly."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." He paced away like a cornered rat.

"You don't have to; just listen."

    "You're not driving that car." It was later that night and it was time for bed. She was walking around the bed rubbing lotion into her hands, which was part of her nightly routine. Her hair was now down to her ass, some sort of side affect of the pregnancy, but I loved it. Gave me more length to work with when I'm hitting her pussy from behind. Her breasts are also another favorite of mine these days, like they needed any help. Now they're fuller and filled with milk, which I'm not ashamed to say I partake of on occasion. In fact I'm about to enjoy some just as soon as I get the coming argument out of the way."Why can't I drive the car?""First because it's my baby, and second because it's a classic and I'm not sure what the laws are on that particular car being driven."She lifted her silk nightgown up to her hips and straddled me, flinging her hair back over her shoulders. "I'm your baby." She nibbled on my neck and pressed her pussy into my cock. Well yeah you are; I put my

    But that night her screams had been of a whole other nature. It's not easy for a man to watch his woman in that much fucking pain and not be able to stop it. Afterwards when they'd placed the girls in her arms she'd acted like that shit hadn't just happened while I'd still been fucking traumatized."What did you or he do this time baby?" Just then the culprit came through the door into the nursery. He went first to Dana who was asleep in her mother's arms and kissed her head before coming over to do the same to little Jenna who was nodding off on my shoulder. He's a very proud uncle and one of the many people I have to fight to get some time with my kids. He's grown a good foot in the last year and eats like a linebacker but he's still a boy with a boy's heart. He's in school and doing well there, curious about every fucking thing under the sun. A son any father would be proud of until he started encouraging my wife in her shit."What have you been up to Jason?" He looked back at

    Things were finally quiet now almost a damn year later. Somehow we'd kept her name out of all of it, which had been my only concern. After we'd buried her father she seemed to have put the shit to rest. She'd wanted to go through her old home for any mementos she might want to keep and I'd let her. Now she had little pieces of her mom throughout our new home. She wasn't hiding and crying anymore, these days she was too busy driving my ass up the wall for that. Between the two of them it was like a three ring circus around here. I spent most of my time during daylight hours feeling like a fucking school principal but the nights, well let's just say her sensuality hasn't waned. In fact pregnancy seemed to amp that shit up a notch or two.She loved sex, loved spending hours on end under me; some nights we'd go at it until early morning when I'd finally have to call a halt lest she hurt herself. I fell in love with her pregnant body, she was ripe and round and so fucking sex that just

    We spent weeks afterwards cleaning up the mess those two had left behind. That's when we found out we'd only touched the tip of the iceberg. The filth ran far and wide and by the time we'd scraped the bottom of the barrel we'd unearthed names of dignitaries and high ranking businessmen and women not only here but abroad. The most horrific thing I think was how far back the shit had gone. We're talking a century or more here. The fuckery read like a Victorian novel, maybe something people would've read to their kids to put fear in them and keep them in line. Only this shit wasn't a story, this was real. Pages upon pages of documented records of the atrocities one class had perpetrated on another for almost two hundred years. At least that's as far back as we were able to go.After the initial rescue when I'd finally been able to go visit the children and see what kind of state they were in, we'd said fuck it and just went ahead and got the others out immediately. Seeing that shit f

    "I'm not afraid of you, you can't touch me; what I am is bigger than you and the idiot masses.""Oh really, I've been wondering about that. Tell me senator, if you have the power to turn Starks into an animal of the night why are you and your sidekick trussed up like two old bitches in my warehouse? What, you ran out of powers?""I'm not a fucking dog, you think I did all this so I could run around in the woods smelling my own ass?""Actually I have no idea what it is that you were trying to do. Why don't you fill me in since you've got nothing more pressing at the moment? If you didn't want to turn yourself into an animal exactly what is it that you were after?""I wanted eternal life." His eyes moved around the room like a feral cat ready to pounce. Maybe that's why the guys had used so many chains to bind these two. They were both bat shit crazy."Ahh, every megalomaniac's wet dream, you wanted to play God.""I am a god.""Oh yeah, which one?""The one." He all but bellowed.

    "I had to do it." The kid started to shake and I put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. My head started to pound, I'd had enough. "It's okay Jason. Where's the body?" I directed my question to Gage and the others."Already taken care of." Fine now I just had to figure out some lie to tell my wife when she came back into the room. "You don't ever tell her what you did you hear me Jason?" He just looked up at me trying to be brave but he was just a little boy. A little boy who'd just killed his own father. Will the evil these men set off ever end? I heard her coming back down the hallway and braced myself.She walked right over to him her eyes searching him for injuries. "Jason what happened? Were you in an accident?" He looked to me to take over. I was still trying to come up with something plausible. "It was a deer baby nothing to worry about." That seemed to calm her a little bit and she started fussing at him to go clean up and get out of his ruined clothes.I was pretty much
