CHAPTER 14
She sat there, soaking in the lyrics that she had just graced her lips and knew what had to be done. For the first time she didn't feel afraid to go back because she knew mark would be beside her. She had to trust him and let him in completely. Whether he handled it would be revealed today. She went inside to find that he was awake and sitting at the table eating.
"How long were you out there?" he asked while reading a newspaper.
"All night, Mark I want to take you somewhere today."
"Okay. Where?" he said, finally looking up at her.
"Just trust me. I'll explain everything when we get there." He nodded his head in agreement and they spent the next hour eating and getting ready to leave. They went into the garage and took separate bikes. Him following her to wherever it was she wanted to take him. After hours of driving along Texas, they arrived at a rundown house secluded from everything else.
"What is this?" he asked confused.
"I kinda failed to mention I grew up in Texas. This is home." She said as she made her way around the side of the house and into what was the back yard but looked more like desert. She kept walking, him following behind, until she arrived at a patch of land with a headstone on it. All it said was a name. "This is her grave." She said, showing absolutely no emotion.
"Why are we here?" he asked, slightly confused.
She turned to him. "We are here because last night I realized some things. Mark I haven't been here since I was a teenager and I wanted you to be here when I leave it behind me. I wanted to know you could handle being here. Hell, I wanted to know if I could handle being here. So that is why we are here. So that after today I can begin again, I can live my life and not feel like I'm being controlled and shadowed by a ghost. I'm here to prove to you that I can do this and you are here to prove to me that you can handle being there and with me. Okay?"
He smiled wide at her. "Okay."
"Good, now let's go inside." She began walking toward the house and he followed. It was small and broke down. It seemed as if it would fall over at any minute. They walked trough what looked like the kitchen over to a door. Inside was a small bed in the corner and a dresser. It was plain and a mess. The bed was broken and sheetless. The mattress was covered in dried blood at various parts of it.
"Jesus." He couldn't help saying.
"He didn't help much within these walls." She said looking around. "The cops took most of the stuff as evidence during my trial. There's not much left."
"Your trial?"
"Yep. They had to prove it was self defense when I killed her. Needed a motive for why she would attack me since there were no witnesses. In the end it all worked out the best it could."
"It's your blood isn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah, its mostly from the rapes. This is where it always happened. I remember the first time was this guy. Stephen Harver. Real scumbag. It was a Friday night and I was a little older then thirteen maybe a month after my birthday and he just busted into my room when I was lying down listening to music. Hell I even remember what song it was on, The Unforgiven by Metallica. She stood in the doorway and watched him and when he was done she beat me and told me to get used to it because it was all I was good for."
"Courtney, I wont let anyone hurt you. Never again." He said putting his arms around her.
"I know mark. I trust you."
"Good because I'm pretty sure I love you."
"Pretty sure huh?"
"Yup."
"Well good because I might just love you too."
"Let's go home so I can show you how much I love you like I promised I would last night."
"Sounds good to me. But you realize it's a long drive and Godzilla is gonna have to wait a while."
He whimpered pathetically making her laugh and completely forget where they were. He smiled and said "well then I guess we better get a move on huh."
"I guess so." They walked out to their bikes and rode. The definition of freedom to them both. The wind blowing and the roar of the bike drowning out everything around them. A couple of hours later they arrived back and ate for the first time in hours. After dinner they settled down on the couch. She sang him the song she had written the night before and felt the love inside her overflow when she finished and looked into his green eyes that reflected her emotions.
"I think its bed time baby." He said with desire evident in his eyes.
"Really, because I was thinking we wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight."
"Well then you thought right." He growled and lifted her to carry her up the stairs to the bedroom. "I told you that I would make love to you and that's exactly what I plan on doing all night long baby girl." He nipped at her neck as he set her down on the bed, making her moan slightly and shiver. Slowly he removed his and her clothes, taking the time to torture every inch of her skin before he finally settled in between her legs and captured her lips once more. He entered her and slowly pumped into her wet, hot core allowing her to feel every inch of him. The pace was driving her crazy, bringing her close to the edge but never letting her fall over it.
"Mark please." She whimpered, needing him to pick up the pace.
"Please what baby."
"Faster mark. I need to cum."
"Not yet baby." She clenched her inner muscles, trying to encourage him further. "Don't baby. You gotta be patient."
"Mark I need to cum. It hurts. Please." Mark, giving in, sped up drastically, making her scream at the sudden increase in friction. He pounded into her, fast and hard, taking her over the edge in an earth shattering orgasm. "Oh god mark."
He thrust into her hard through her orgasm and came with her clenching walls milking his release. "Oh god baby girl." He moaned into her ear. They fell asleep immediately afterwards feeling completely content and satisfied snuggled into each others arms.
Ok so that's done. I'm not quite sure where to take this story next so if anyone's got suggestions feel free to give em to me. Review please. And the lyrics below are to the Metallica song in the chapter.
THE UNFORGIVENNew blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time, the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee "Unforgiven"
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
N
Never me
So I dub thee "Unforgiven"
ever shined through in what I've shown
Never free
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee "Unforgiven"
