Part 39: Your Brother Is Next

I told Ash. "Someone told me forehead kisses are the best. They mean pure love."

Ash replied. "My love is not pure but rather sexual. Now you know why I kiss your lips."

I giggled as he pounced on me and kissed my lips. "You're a psycho."

"That doesn't bother you a little bit."

"Not at all."

I combed my fingers through his hair as he lay on my chest. "I've never really known what happiness was. I hope this will last."

"It can, but some things might be unavoidable."

I blinked. "What are you talking about?"

"Your brother..."

"No, he won't do anything. I... I just don't want him to know because I'm a little shy to tell him I have a boyfriend."

"I know." He rolled off me and lay on the pillow next to mine. "But has he ever told you about his past life before coming back here?"

"Past... no. Why?" I turned and saw him nod as though finally understanding something. "I figured it was bad and he doesn't want to go back there so I don't bring it up. Why did you ask?"

"Nothing. Just curious."

"Not convincing. Come on, tell me." I turned his face so that he was looking at me.

"Well, if you insist then," He pulled away and turned to the door. "Your brother and I we... I..."

"You were friends?" I asked, excitement growing inside me. "You knew my brother? Tell me, how was he? Was he an airhead dummy and always had control over everything like now? Did he date?"

"Princessah," Ash silenced me. "Something happened. You're right about him having always been a control freak but something... someone close to me was terribly hurt so things changed a little."

"Was my brother hurt too?" I asked seeing the pain on my boyfriends face. "Was that why he came back home?"

"That was why he came here and no, he wasn't hurt but I was."

"I'm sorry," I stared down on the bed.

"Hey, it's alright. You don't have to worry." He told me and I nodded. "But your brother..."

"He's next?" My eyes widened.

"Something like that."

"Is it like, some serial..."

"Not like that, but the past is never far behind us, you know? You can run and hide and change your identity but..." Ash smiled. "The past always catches up like a fucking shadow. You might think it's gone just because you're indoors but your shadow never leaves. Even after darkness you know it will eventually show up."

"You will help me, won't you?" I asked him. "If they try to hurt my brother, will you help me protect him?"

"I'll always help you Princessah, it will kill me if anything is to happen to you." He ran the tips of his fingers over the skin of my face. "But your brother... I don't fuck your brother anymore now, do I?"

"Please help him."

"We're rivals." He said indifferently.

I blinked at him.

"He betrayed someone real bad and the person found him for retaliation. I can't help him because he's my rival and I know exactly how deep his betrayal went." Ash laughed bitterly. "Perfect. Just perfect."

I felt shivers run up my spine and goose bumps awaken all over my skin. It was as though a dark, heavy cloud suddenly appeared over my beach sky, not threatening to rain but showing all signs of permanency.

"Ash... I heard myself say. "Ash I think it's getting late. Please take me home."

"If you go home now, are you going to ask him what he did to me?" he looked at me.

"I don't know. Please just take me home."

"No," Ash reached for me and wrapped me into his arms. "You're sleeping over."

"No, I... I can't sleep over. I've never slept away from home before. My brother will be worried ." I told him, the cloud looming over me slowly coming down. "Please."

"Let's fuck some more before I take you home."He cupped my breasts while running his tongue along the length of my ear.

I struggled to free from him. "No please... No Ash, I don't... we can't do that now. I want to go home."

"What?" he stopped his actions for just a moment. "You're usually the one begging to fuck, why the denial Princessah? Are you suddenly scared of me?" I could make out the smile from his voice.

Yes, I am scared of everything right now and I want my brother. "No, I'm not scared of you. I just... I'm hurting. We can't have sex now, I'm still hurting from earlier..."

"That's the whole point, or else what's pleasure without pain?" Ash bit into my neck. "You love the pain, you always tell me pain is pleasure."

I shrugged him away. "Ash, I really don't feel like it no. I'm not in the mood. I don't know what happened but please just take me home?"

"Fucking bitch." He whispered. "You expect me to believe the Queen of sluts doesn't want to fuck right now? Dare me."

"Ash..." I tried to free myself but he pressed me down on the bed and tried to slip a finger inside me. "Ash please don't do this..."

"You're making it sound like I'm doing something you don't like. I'm only doing what's good for you, aren't I?"

"Please, if you don't stop I'm going to cry." I told him, my energy nearly spent.

"Be my guest Princessah. I have quite a lot on my plate myself, I'll help shed some tears along with you."

"Ash..." I sank my teeth into his skin and he jumped back in pain. I jumped off the bed, scrambled to put on my clothes.

Before I could accomplish anything, Ash was locking the door.

"Ash..."

"You're not leaving me Princessah. Please don't leave me." He walked up to where I was. "You drove my nerves on edge and I'm still hard for you."

I shook my head. "I can't..." I was cut off by his hands on my shoulders as he pulled and nailed me to the nearest wall. "Ash..."

"Hush..." he shushed as he pressed my body hard against the wall while parting my thighs with his knee. I could feel his erection pocking me as vividly as I could feel the blurring tears that ran down my cheeks. My struggles were futile against his steely body, and he was clearly unable to receive signals from outside his head.

I felt him thrust his whole length inside me, but my energy was way too spent to cry out or resist...
