Dark as Daylight Ch. 03

Our son is now 15, and his hormones are racing to the top of the scale. I just don't want little Newton's running around for a little while."

"I agree."

He walked over, and knelt down before her.

"From the day we met, I would have followed you to the ends of the earth. That's how deeply I loved you from the very beginning. If I had not gotten on this ship, because of the children, I would have turned into you. I would have been the most miserable person on planet Earth. There would be no way to console me, because you were not at my side. These last four months have been a nightmare, not only for you, but for the children and me. Newton has found one way to deal with it. Teddy cries herself to sleep every night. She wants to know what she did wrong that mommy left her. She doesn't believe it wasn't her fault.

Have I ever told you that you look beautiful pregnant?"

He leaned in, and kissed her lightly on the lips, waiting for her reaction.

It was swift in coming. She grabbed his head and pulled their lips back together. When they parted, she was crying.

"I didn't mean to hurt you Gray. I just didn't know. What my dad told me was a revelation. He should have told me this, as forcefully as he did four months ago, years and years ago. I will try to be good wife, and partner. I will make it my business to make it up to Teddy. I will be the best mother in the world to the twins. I swear I will do my absolute best, because God knows you deserve it."

"Baby, I don't want a submissive. I want you; fire and brimstone you. I just won't take the abuse, and hitting. I don't hit elderly ladies."

"Elderly ladies my ass."

On reflex she drew back her right hand, and started to bring it forward. Then she saw the look in her husband's eyes, and she brought it to an immediate halt.

She said, "That may take a little time."

"That's as long as you have, a little time."

***************

"Accommodations, this is Grayson Thyme. We won't be needing room 514 anymore, my wife and I will meet been living together again."

"Thank you Doctor Thyme, I will send some of our staff up to help move her belongings back to your quarters."

"Thank you."

"Your ass, my ready room, ASAP."

"Yes Captain."

Teddy was in the children's play area, sitting at a desk drawing stick figures, and sad faces, when Delicious walked in.

The teachers looked at her in surprise, as she smiled at them. They knowingly nodded, and let her walk up behind Teddy.

Quietly she said, "I love my Teddy so much."

Teddy turned around, and screamed, "Mommy, I love my mommy. What did I do wrong?"

"Mommy did a bad thing Teddy, not you. Mommy hurt daddy very badly, and was ashamed of herself. That's why she left you, Newton, and daddy. I went away to pray and ask God to forgive me for what I did, not only to my family, but to everyone around me. I am a very bad person, and I am going to try, with daddy's, and your help to become better. Will you help me?"

"I no put nose in corner anymore, but I help you pray."

"If you no put nose in corner, how are we going to play Monopoly?"

"I let you look at board so you no cheat me anymore."

"I never cheat you. I just put you in jail, with mommy."

"I get out first."

"You cheat, always rolled doubles. Want to come to the bridge with mommy? I have to apologize to grandpa and grandma for my behavior."

"Did you apologize God?"

"No I didn't, I forgot."

"We go to room first. We pray, say sorry, and then go see grandma and grandpa."

"Are you sure you're not older than I am?"

"Yes, I sure. You have bigger feet. I grow into your shoes when I get older."

"I love my Teddy."

"I love my mommy, she have a big heart."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What the fuck did you do Gray?"

"What we should have done four months ago, but I was too angry with her to do it. We should have talked it out. We should of screamed at each other, and all this pain and suffering would not have happened. This was my fault Even, I was too prideful and angry with her, I was blinded by my hate to do it."

"Bullshit, now tell me what really happened, or you go to the lockup."

"Can I use one of Gordon's lines?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Dad, you are pain in the ass."

"You have no idea how I missed that line. Now what went on up there?"

"I asked her why she was so down on herself, when she had accomplished so much being like her father?"

"You did what?"

"I told her that her mother's plan backfired, and she became her father because of it. However, look at all the good it did. She met you. You ran away from her, met Jennifer and Gordon. You and Jennifer begat Richard and Holden. She and I have Newton, and Teddy. There would not have been a launching ceremony, so William Junior would never have tripped over Gwen, and who knows what that would've led to. Our 900 patents would never have been discovered, and the world would be worse off for it.

I basically told her she should be patting herself on the back for being her father, because look at the all the good things she did."

"What an unbelievable tactic, where the hell did you come up with it?"

"Honestly, I have no idea. It just started rolling off my tongue, until it ended. Then I told her in no uncertain terms, I wanted her back. I would no longer accept the abuse, or the hitting. We could do one of her famous contracts, and either one of us could sign out for cause."

"How is she going to cope from now on? I don't want her to close down again."

"She said she wished you would have talked this forcefully to her years ago. She heard you but did not listen to you, because you were so kind, and forgiving. Every time you argued, she took a tiny step forward, and you backed off. You hit her with a feather, when what she needed was a sledgehammer. You used that four months ago, and she broke. Today, like Humpty-Dumpty, I hope we put the pieces back together."

"I believe you did Gray. I can't thank you enough."

"She's my wife dad, I didn't want to lose her."

There was a knock on the ready room door.

I yelled, "I'm busy, go away."

Delicious responded, "Okay, Teddy and I will go to the gym. We will see you tomorrow."

"Get in here now."

The door did not open.

"Get in here I said."

The door still did not open. I charged at it thinking she had left. She was standing there fixing Teddy dress.

"Grandpa like a pretty dress?"

"I thought Teddy didn't like dresses."

"Teddy like pretty dress. Look all grown-up. Three years old now."

"I can certainly see the difference. Turnaround for grandpa."

"Such a pretty dress. Teddy looks 10 years old."

"Let's show grandpa what you learned."

Teddy took her mother's hand, and did the prettiest little curtsy I had ever seen. Gray and I applauded, and this time Teddy bowed."

"Teddy, grandma is on the bridge; go show her your pretty dress."

She didn't say goodbye, she just disappeared.

Delicious closed the door, melted into my arms, and began to cry.

Through her sobs she said, "Daddy, I am so sorry. I am still that 16-year-old brat you picked up in Maine. I swear I will do better. I promised Gray I would do better. I promised Teddy I would do better. I promised the twins I would do better, and I just promised God I would do better. I will I swear, I will."

"If you just promised Her you're going to do better, that's good enough for me. All is forgiven baby. The slate is clean. You have a fresh start in my life."

"I love you, daddy. I don't know how you or Gray didn't kill me a long time ago."

"Your mother didn't buy the gun, until she found out she was pregnant with these twins."

"Daddy!"

"It's the truth isn't it? It's against the law to kill pregnant women."

"You can kill women, just not pregnant women."

"That is the law in Texas."

"Bullshit!"

"All you have to do is go back and check."

"I promised Gray no hitting, but if he turns around and doesn't see me do it, I wonder if it counts?"

Gray responded, "If God can see it, it counts."

"Yes dear."

"Magical Gray, just magical."

"It's all her dad. She's trying, and all I'm doing is helping."

"I'll take over the bridge for a while; why don't you take your mother to lunch, the four of you will have a good time."

"Thanks dad, we'll see you later."

"God you look good old man. That muskrat made you look 10 years older."

"Have you ever lived in St. Louis, Hannah?"

"No I can't say that I have."

"99% of the time the wind comes out of the West, and picks up moisture off the Mississippi. As soon as you leave your house, you feel like you just walked into a bath in the summer, and a cold locker in the winter. The muskrat you just removed kept my upper lip warm. When I breathe through my nose, the air had to go through it to get there. It acted as a very nice filter. The air had to work its way down towards my lip, and then into my nose, which made it a little warmer."

"Jack, if you tell me you put your nose hairs in a particular position to do that, you will begin bleeding; but not from your upper lip. It will be from the scissors sticking out of your heart."

"I was going to do just that honey, on the off chance you might believe me. After careful consideration, I've decided not to chance it."

"Whatever college you graduated from made you a very smart man."

"Madame, you are speaking to a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point."

"I didn't know that Jack, where is your ring?"

"I was robbed, and the guy wanted it. I wanted to live, more than I wanted the ring. I think I got the better of the deal."

"I agree. I told all the student nurses I taught, before our parking lot lighting was made more adequate that their lives were more important than their chastity or their wallets. Give up one or both to save your lives. Both can be repaired with time. We cannot give you your lives back.

The beautiful 20-year-olds would look at me, a 40+year-old woman and say 'Yeah, your old what do you care. They're going to scar our lives forever."

"I didn't like it, because it was my personal life, but I had to put them in their place. I told them I was a first-year nurse, just getting off duty after a double shift. I walked out to the employee parking lot, where two men grabbed me, beat me, and raped me for hours. They left me by my car completely exposed. I was not found until the next morning. I was in intensive care for three weeks, and I contracted syphilis and gonorrhea.

In a strange twist of fate those two diseases or what caught my attackers, and sent them to jail without my even having to go to court. Their lawyers advise them that if they chanced the jury seeing me, and the pictures of me lying in ICU they might never get out of jail. As it was the judge gave each of them 60 years each.

From the class forward, no one ever asked me a question about that again."

"Hannah without sounding condescending, how do you survive something like that? As a man I find it unfathomable that any woman could survive it."

"I prayed a lot, but never went to a church. I went to a psychiatrist for years, and she helped me. The worst thing was I had to change hospitals. Everybody looked at me differently. It wasn't like I was damaged goods to them, it was pity, and I couldn't stand that. I needed a lively atmosphere, and every place I showed up, the conversation shut down. I had to ask the hospital administrator for a position at another hospital and he totally understood my reasoning."

"Why did you never marry?"

Hannah smiled. "It wasn't for lack of beau's. I had many of them. The rape did not stop my sex drive, although it did take me a couple of years to start again. There just was no Mister Right. Someone would ask me, and we would talk about it. He would want a lot of children with a stay-at-home mom. I wanted a maximum of three so I could work. Most of the time I was making more money than they were, and that was another problem, not for me but for them. I wanted my own checkbook, and they wanted to co-mingle funds. I said we would split the bills down the middle, and we would each have our own savings accounts. They didn't like that one bit. I just stopped looking. I didn't stop going out with men, I just stopped looking for a husband, unless one fell into my lap."

"Speaking of laps woman, on the table. I'm hunting beaver."

"You going to do me on the table?"

"I'm going to do a lot of things to you on the table, not only shave you."

"I think you're going to get a lot more out of this, then I got out of muskrat."

"If you trust me, it will be mutually beneficial. If you don't trust me, it will still be mutually beneficial. In other words, this is going to be an awful lot of fun."

"Now I know why they have overhead mirrors in operating rooms."

"I have a big, hand held, mirror if you want?"

"I accept."

"Don't move, I don't want you to fall off the table."

"That is one hell of a mirror."

"24 x 20 with two movable handles."

"What do you use this for?"

"It's flexible, we use it to look at bombs."

"How delightful. Ouch, the waters to hot."

"It's just your imagination."

"My imagination is saying the water is too hot."

"Did you feel the first stroke with a razor?"

"No."

"Is the water still too hot?"

"No. Ouch, I'm going to get you for this you bastard."

"Did you feel the second and third strokes of the razor?"

"You are still a bastard. OOOUUUCCH!! What did you do? Pour the whole thing on me?"

"No, I pulled out a single hair at the top of your pussy, that would not cut."

"Do engineers carry insurance?"

"We have to by law."

"Have you ever been sued? Ouch you crazy bastard."

"I've never been sued, because I pay attention to my work. My work is always of the highest caliber. I have finished the easy part. You are cleaned down to the top of your pubic bone if you care to take a look."

"Nicely done, can I get off the table now?"

"You are not finished by a long shot dear."

"I knew you were going to have more fun at this, then I was having with your muskrat."

"As I recall, you brokered the deal."

"Everyone is entitled to one mistake, per day. This was mine."

"You bet your pussy it was. Use this bath towel to bring your knees up to your chest and spread them wide. It will take the pressure off your arms."

"Why do I have a feeling you've done this before"

"I have never done this before, but anytime you need to touch up, I am at your service."

"If I needed touchup, you are going to be as bald down there as I am."

"Why do you think I offered dear. I knew I was getting the better of the deal, and I wanted to give you a way to get even."

"I think I like engineers."

"All engineers, or the one that has his fingers on your labia majora?"

"Your fingers may be on my labia, but your knuckles are on my clit, and my eyes are crossing."

"Excellent, then you won't feel this at all."

"OOOUUUCCCHHH..., You no good cock sucking son of a bitch. I'm going to cut your balls off with a rusty razor. What did you use boiling water?"

"No, the water is exactly 99°."

"How would you know, you bastard?"

"I know, because I have a thermometer in the water."

"I hate you for fucking engineers."

"Pull your legs up higher. Excellent, you can let them down now. Your right side is done. There is not a hair to be found."

"Here comes the water for the last time. 1,2,3, water."

"I hate engineers to the pads of the big toes."

"Pull your knees up again, higher, excellent. Good all done stay there for one moment I just want to put some lotion on you so you don't burn from the razor."

He began spreading a lotion that caused heat to form around the genital areas of a woman's body, although he was spreading it generously around her pubic region, when he told her to spread her legs to get the inside of her thigh and labia, he made sure he placed a generous amount inside her pink fleshy area, and especially around the hood of her hidden warrior.

He proceeded down to her anus, crossed over and proceeded to come up the other side, where he mirrored his actions, except for the pinky that slipped inside her vagina.

It took him less than a minute to complete this task. He removed the pots, scissors, and razors from the area around Hannah. He took the towel from her to wipe up the table, chair, and floor around his work area, and reached out to help Hannah up. She had a look in her eye that told him she was about to spontaneously combust.

In his most innocent voice he asked, "Honey, you look flushed, are you all right?"

"Jack Daniels if you don't fuck me right now, I'm going to throw you on the floor and do to you what those men did to me."

"Of course I'll do anything you say, but what brought this on?"

"Stop talking and get it in me now."

He was already hard from shaving her, and the table was at the perfect height for him to slip into her. He did, slowly, but she was having nothing to do with it.

"Fuck me Jack, don't toy with me."

"Grab my neck, we're going inside."

"Do it here."

"Grab my neck or I'm going to stop."

She grabbed his neck, lifted herself up, and locked her ankles around his back. They helped each other into the bedroom, and without separating made it onto the bed. Before she had a chance to speak, he began to pummel her. His left thumb was on her clit, and right hand was working on her left breast like it was a ball of dough. Her hips rose up to meet his downward strokes, because Hannah was not going to be an idle participant. Her hips flew up to meet his downward strokes harder and harder, and her hand grabbed his dick, to feel it's every downward thrust.

He felt her body stiffen, and her eyes focused on his. She clenched her teeth, and yelled, 'Oh my God.'

Jack felt liquid pour all over his dick, and splash all over his abdomen. He slowed his strokes, but did not stop, waiting for Hannah to make the decision for them, as she recovered.

"Hi, welcome back."

"I never had one of those before Jack. I must say it was outstanding."

"I can't guarantee them forever, but as long as I don't run out of that cream, I think you can enjoy yourself an awful lot."

"You sneaky bastard, I thought I was roasting walnuts inside me."

"Those were my walnuts you were roasting, just in case you hadn't noticed."

"Oh yes I've noticed, and my temperature is on the way up again."

"Hannah do you remember that husband you were waiting for, the one that was supposed to fall into your lap?"

"Yes, why?"

"Well, I have a job that I can walk to every day. It gives me room and board, but it doesn't pay well. I will settle for the 2.4 children, and you can still work, if you want to that is. There is on-site day care, with certified teachers, security, and a fenced in yard, and a relatively large communal house. Travel is assured for a lifetime, and the stars are out all the time. It's paid for by the company. You can keep your own checkbook, and your own savings account.

I promise to honor you, and love you all the days of my life, but obeying you is a problem. I'm kinda' set in my ways, and I am a pain in the ass most of the time. However, I'll give it a shot if you say yes. How about it Hannah Miles will you marry me?"

"Do you have any idea what you're letting yourself in for marrying me? Talk about set in your ways? I think they invented that term because of me. If I would've met you 30 years ago, I would've been all over you like a wet blanket. You are one hell of a catch Jack Daniels. No one has ever talked me into bed in one day before. No one ever talked me into bed in one month either. I was a bitch on wheels trying to get into bed. If you wanted my pussy, you had to work your ass off for it. Not only did you get my pussy Jack, you shaved it. Never in my life did I believe I was going to let a man touch me down there like that. However, when I looked between my knees, there you were, with your 99° water, and your magical lotion. You could have fucked me up the ass, and I wouldn't have minded, that's how horny that stuff of yours made me. Jack you are one crazy fucking, amazing old man."
