Ash's point of view.With the help of Anna and Bear, I finally pick up the courage to tell Dylan my story; at first, I see the admiration in his eyes, but that admiration quickly fades to realisation, and when I get to the final part, fear. The feeling I know too well is the fear of the unknown, the fear of realising that you're not the same as everyone else; there is something different, something that's a little inhuman.I pull him into my arms as I say."We will get through this, kid; you're not on your own anymore; we're all here to help you."Then my heart breaks as I watch him fall apart in my arms, Dylan has built walls around him all of his life, and it's hard to forget that he is just a child.I should get it, though, because I've been in the exact same spot where he is right now, only I did it alone, but Dylan won't ever be alone in this. He has me and Anna and Bear, who I know from experience will help him to get control of his fears, and then lastly, there's Stan, the best
Ash's point of view. We spend most of Saturday in bed; what can I say? My little queen is insatiable, not that I'm complaining. I love it. Dylan has decided to have a sleepover at the Fire pit with Bear and a few of the guys. I think it's good for him to get away from the pair of us for a while and mix with the younger lads down at the Pit. I know there's no need to worry about him, not when Bear is around. And tonight, he has his fight; I've matched him with a very capable fighter. Although he doesn't know it yet, tonight is more about seeing if he has learnt to hold back rather than winning the match because I know he can win, but will he hold back? That's what I need to see. The fighter in question, Skid, has been told to goad him and try to get a reaction from him. We need to do this. We need to know that he's ready to face the world and ready to go back to school on Monday. We can't have him beating the shit out of the other kids at school; yes, he got away with it this time
Anna's point of view.After a few drinks at the Fire Pit, the three of us make our way home, Ash and I didn't want to stay out too late, as the and the boys have a surprise planned for Dylan tomorrow.Dylan heads off to his room. As soon as we walk through the door, I take my coat off in the hallway, Ash leans in to kiss my lips, and I let out a little moan."Mmmmmm"He growls as he says. "God, I love that sexy little moan you make."Before he throws me over his shoulder as he strides upstairs and into the master bedroom, he throws me down in the middle of the bed. I giggle as I land with a bounce.He crawls up the bed over my body as he kisses me. "Mmmmmm"Now, this is not a gentle, sweet kiss; this is a kiss filled with raw passion, one that leaves us both breathless with promises of a night to remember. He nibbles on my lower lip, gently sucking it into his mouth as he works his way down my neck, gently sucking my skin as our hands rip at each other's clothes.We're naked and breat
Anna's point of view.We're soon racing through the waters and out into the open sea; I don't know who's more excited, Dylan or me, neither of us has been on a boat before, and this one glides along the clear water at an unbelievable speed. The boys are in their element.I laugh as I watch Dylan's face; he's loving it, especially when Bear lets him handle the boat; at a slower pace, of course; when we eventually stop, Stan throws the anchor down before the boys start setting up the fishing rods and equipment. I strip off my dress, leaving myself in my bikini as I sunbathe at the front of the boat, smiling to myself as I feel Ash's eyes on me.After an hour of listening to the guys having fun fishing, I throw my dress over the top of my bikini before joining them.Ash pulls me into his arms as he whispers. "Are you having fun, baby?"I smile as I reply. "I am, and Dylan's loving it; it's good to see him enjoying himself."Ash nods his head as he turns to look at Dylan. "Yeah, it is. H
Anna's point of view. When I wake up the following morning, Ash is already up; I still feel exhausted, yet I don't feel as though I'm coming down with a cold. Yesterday was a long day, though. I shrug it off as I jump into the shower before making my way downstairs. Ash and Dylan are both talking in the kitchen; Ash lifts his head up as he says. "Hey babe, I thought you would have had a lie-in; you said you were tired." I smile as I pour a glass of fresh orange juice; for some reason, I just don't fancy coffee today. " I couldn't sleep", I reply as Ash opens the fridge door and shouts over his shoulder. "Do you want some bacon putting on, Anna?" I sigh as I reply, "No, I'm okay. I'll just have some toast," Ash turns his head to look at me, and I shrug my shoulders as I say. "Maybe, my crazy obsession with food is finally wearing off." Ash looks at me as though I'm crazy; I can't help but giggle, but seriously though if I carry on eating the way I am, I'm going to be the size of a
Ash's point of viewWow-what a weekend it's been; Dylan aced his fight on Saturday night, but not only that, He kept those powers of his under control. I know we have Bear to thank for this. He used the same technique he first used on me all those years ago, although I must admit he seems to have finely tuned it to perfection. No doubt, his high-ranking years in the military and the new recruits he has trained along the way have helped Bear to perfect that technique to what it is today.Then on Saturday, we had Dylan's surprise, a day on the boat out in the open sea fishing with the guys, Dylan loved it. He never stopped smiling all day, but he deserved it. It was evident by his reaction that he's never had anyone surprise him before, never mind an entire day of nothing but fun.Anna was loving it too, her very first time out on a boat, and she looked sexy as fuck in that bikini. I love to see this carefree side of her; damn, she had me good with that fish, the little minx; I can't b
Ash's point of view.The following couple of days passed quickly; there have been no more incidents at school, thank God. Dylan has been going to the Fire Pit every night after school; he's getting a bit too cocky with Bear. If I'm honest with myself, it makes me a little worried; I think it's time I got more hands-on with his training; I start taping up my wrists. Stan looks at me as he says."You're going in the ring with him?"I nod my head as I reply. "Yeah, he needs it." Anna pulls me to one side, her face filled with worry as she says. "You won't hurt him, will you?"I chuckle as I reply, "No, I won't hurt him. I just need to show him that he's not invincible, and I need you up there with me, baby."Her eyes go wide as she says. "Why?"I sigh. "Because if I lose control, I know you can bring me back; I would never hurt you, baby; I should be good though I've fought my demons for a long time. I know how to control it now. I've just never fought another with the same strength as
Anna's point of view.Oh my god, I'm so glad that tonight is over as I watch the pair of them in the ring. I've never been so frightened in all my life. I've seen first-hand what Ash is capable of as I watched him bring Areon down, and the frightening part is I've also seen how strong Dylan is when I've watched him fight.Thankfully though, they both get through this pretty unscathed, but Ash is right as Dylan fell to his knees at Ash's feet; in complete and utter bewilderment and shock, it was exactly what he needed. When Ash pulled him to his feet, the look of respect on his face was priceless.They stand together in the ring as they look at each other with respect, but I've learnt to read Ash well. As they look at each other, there is something else there, though, almost as if they are having a telepathic conversation between themselves. I have no idea what's happening, and they stay like that for a good ten minutes before they finally turn to leave the stage. Dylan stops and tur
