Starting from Scratch Ep. 077: me so tHORNY

"Gutsy considering how often he's being picked on." Respect fleeting.

"Piper's nephew will be with him. I think they are becoming good friends."

"Least he has a shadow. Listen...I'll...take baby bird under my wing for a spell, teach him defense. Maybe even enroll him in my friend's Dojo like we talked about."

"He will give up unless you make him go. I know Travis."

"I'm...not his Dad. I can only do so much. You're mine...he's not."

"His birthday is in a few weeks he is technically an adult. Once he is I am totally yours Master."

"Good to know. Totally OURS now."

"Ours?" She pondered aloud then realized his meaning, "Yes...Master Henry. Both of yours."

"For now. Just don't let your heart get too...attached."

"He is married. I only serve him because you command me to accept him as Master of..."

"Love? More emotional needs? You're mine body and soul."

"Yes Master."

"Don't go looking at me all goo goo eyed." He narrows his eyes at her expression, "I'm not making love to your ass."

"Would that be...so bad?"

"I gotta get ready for work. Night shift at Cashanova's." He bailed from her as if not wanting her to get the idea he could fall in love. Oh, he could, but he chose to stay the tough guy. "If that Fucknut next door tries anything again you call me or Master Loverboy. I'll check in on you Sunday, see how you and the boy are coping."

"Thank you Master. I'll make pancakes on Sunday. I know you love my recipe." If not her!

She sits up wincing as she finds two more stems stuck to her chest like an X. Before pulling them free Dom stops her. "Marks the spot." Her eyes flare with hope until he rips them from her chest and throws them aside. Maybe it was He loves me after all.

With only his pants on he notes her eyes trembling. In a rare event Dom crawled back over her torso as she falls along with him. Kissing her chest where the tiny wounds bled he licked her clean. The sensations shocked her. Nipples tugged on between his teeth for fun Dom eased away. That was the closest thing to a bleeding heart she would likely ever get from this man. Good enough!

Shirt buttoned up he sat down and put his socks and boots on. Finding Kelly rising to her knees behind him he turned his cheek to peripherally examine her poise. Sensing her emotions Dom shook his head and patted his shoulder. Without hesitation Kelly hugged his neck from behind and kissed his cheek. He knew she needed at least that much to keep her going. What he didn't realize was Kelly had slipped a hand full of rose petals down the back of his shirt collar. Her way of saying she loved him.

"Getting a little too cozy ain'tcha?"

"Yes. You will have to punish me for my behavior."

"Well hell." Looking at her alarm clock for the time he pulled away and whirled his mass to topple her again to the mattress, more stems impaling her. Grabbing her ankles he moved them behind her ears and ate her out.

Kelly Herbert loved...a good kisser.

********

Twenty minutes after Travis Herbert stepped from Piper Cherry's home...

"I hope Sable answers the door instead of her Dad. He's going to ask why I'm not in school."

Heading up the McKellen's porch Travis saw his reflection in the door window, using it as a mirror to comb his hair, still damp from his shower. That would also be a giveaway if Henry noticed enough to be concerned. Knocking on the door sure enough he was busted. Henry McKellen came downstairs after checking in on Dakota whom he was making clean her sister's bedroom as punishment for she and Tessa Harper's deception. Opening the front door Henry winced at the unexpected visitor. Just as predicted he looked back at their living room clock to note the time then coughed up, "School let out early?"

"Long story Mister McKellen! I got to leave before everyone else is all. I didn't get a chance to see Sable without her braces before she went home with you. Is it okay if I say hi and tell her she looks beautiful?"

Henry smirked considering his request, knowing that the girls even had him fooled. With a pucker he let Travis inside but paused him with a finger to be quiet. "She's a little down right now. Cleaning her bedroom if you can believe that. Here!" Henry retrieves the single red rose in a thin vase from the stand beside the front door. "Reuse your flower Romeo. Go up there and give her the biggest kiss you ever gave her." He smirked, "Yeah I know you've been kissing her."

"Really?" Trav looked inspired. "Thanks Mister McKellen."

"No problem. Go pounce on her." He winked knowing full well he was going to hear Dakota scream and push the boy away proving she wasn't Sable. Let the kids figure their own mess out. He had to tidy up a few loose ends in his office before going to Cashanova's for Svetlana's premiere on stage, so the rest was on them. Another nudge sent Travis dropping his bag by the door, taking the flower, and rushing up the stairs.

In Sable's bedroom Dakota heard the rapid footfalls and brightened up, "Daddy is coming for me. YESSSS!" Taking off her night shirt she tossed it over a desk chair, the only thing she had put on after she and Tessa Harper had seduced her Father, Dakota threw herself on to her sister's bed and spread her legs as wide as she could get them, hands holding them in ready. "I knew Daddy couldn't resist me."

Before she could react Travis burst into view with the flower and bulged his eyes. "Hi honey I'm home."

"TRAVIS!" She sat up quickly and covered her body. She had no clothing near to hide herself. "What are you doing here?"

"Your dad let me in. He told me you were down and needed cheering up. Smile for me I wanna see."

Dakota could at least do that, let him think she was Sable for the moment, it was obvious he had no clue. "I have to wear a stupid retainer, I just haven't put it in yet. Hand me my shirt." She pointed to the desk chair where it draped.

"Kiss me first."

He walked up to her and sat the flower on her bedside stand. Before she could resist he toppled her over on to her back and pinned her to the mattress, kissing her. Lips touching, Dakota wheezed as if in a panic, the kiss was...icky! Travis Herbert? Seriously? So not her type. So...not a bad kisser. DAMMIT! Dakota let it happen, his hands touching her chest, his body literally laying on hers, crotch laying directly on her pussy. The situation drew Dakota in with an unexpected temptation, that faded instantaneously. This was Perbert! No fucking way!

"Ewwww!"

A door opening and closing downstairs startled both of them. Footfalls moving rapidly made Dakota whimper and pat his back, "Noooo! Stop it Travis." Kissing her neck she squirmed and stared at the door expecting her Father to catch them.

"WHAT THE HELL?" A voice rallied making Travis rear up from kissing Dakota's throat.

"Oh! Hey Dakota!"

The real Dakota busted up laughing as Sable stood with hands on her hips at the door.

"Am I missing something?"

"Nope!" Dakota pushed him off of her and got up to put her shirt on. Walking away she eased past her sister while razzing her, then whispering. "He jumped me! Sorry!"

"She'll be right back!" Sable as Dakota pointed at Travis, "Stay!" She then followed Dakota into her bedroom. Closing the door Sable bulged her eyes, "Are you nuts?"

"I told you he jumped me. I wouldn't kiss him on purpose."

"Why were you naked in my bedroom?"

"Long story., I'll tell you later. Here!" She whipped her shirt off then handed it to Sable, "Change and go get your man."

"Daddy's home. Mom's outside."

"Better hurry then, huh?"

"This is insane." Sable laughed then ditched her butt zipper jeans, all of her clothing then put on Dakota's t-shirt. Taking a deep breath she marched back into her room and found Travis smelling her rose.

Brightening up at her return he sat the rose back where it had been. "I didn't get to tell you but I love your new smile."

Sable threw herself on top of Travis and kissed him hard.

That was all she needed to hear.
