“How can you even think that way? You’re right in a way though.” She looks at me like I’ve offended her, but I’m not finished yet. “You’re not that girl anymore, you’re better,stronger and so much more, you just need to realise it yourself. You had the courage to stand up for yourself and leave that absolute arsewipe of a man! That’s the bravest thing you could have ever done.” Standing back a little I look her in the eyes, so she knows I’m serious.

“Thank you, and thank you for listening, it’s not a nice part of my life, and I’m trying so desperately to forget about it.” She drops her head when she talks about it. It breaks me even more.

“Are you going to take the rest of the day off?” I ask, hoping she will.

“No, I’m going to dump my bag at the hotel, then head to work, I need all the money I can get right now, until the house is sold.”

“Well, okay I need to head back anyway. I’ve got a few clients I need to see, as well as look into your house sale.” I smile and hug her again.

As we walk back up the hill, we go our separate ways after hugging each other one more time. I watch as she heads further up as I walk into the office.

I can’t get it out of my head, it’s like a nightmare I keep replaying.How has she coped with this?It’s not happened to me, yet the thought of what she has had to deal with day in and day out is unthinkable.

Sitting back at my desk, I try but I just can’t concentrate. So I make a few calls and leave and head home, where I can try and deal with what she told me for the rest of the day.

The door opens for me when I get home; I am a little surprised to see Dan working from home today.

We both look at each other in surprise.

“What are you doing home so early?” We say at the same time, then laugh, but my laughter suddenly turns to tears. Dan scoops me up in a great big hug and leads me to the living room. He places me on the sofa and sits beside me, looking at me like I’ve lost my mind.

“Em, what’s up?” He trails his hand over my cheek, concern etched on his face. I’m not a crier, never really have been; I’m good at compartmentalising and dealing with stuff, but this… It’s a whole new level of… I don’t know.

“I’ve been with Millie this morning,” I say through sobs, “she told me… everything,” sinking back into the sofa a little more.

Dan moves closer, taking my hand in his. His other hand rested on my thigh, caressing it with his thumb.

“What do you mean? Why does it make you so upset?” His head is resting next to mine now.

“He hurt her so badly Dan, I mean most people would go to prison for a very long time after what he did to her, and not just once either, multiple times, over and over and over again. Then the last time he almost killed her,” I tell him, losing whatever composure I had left again. Sobs come easily every time I think of it all.

Leaning forward, he puts his head in his hands, like he can’t process just how bad it was for her. So I tell him everything while I cry. He gets angry, then cries himself for how she was treated and it just makes me love him so much more, how he wears his heart on his sleeve.

“I knew it wasn’t a car accident! Just the way she behaves, that bastard! How could he do it? How could anyone do that to someone? It’s sick!” he shouts.

“I know, she asked me not to tell anyone, so you can’t let on that you know. I know it’s going to be hard for you, but please, she needs to trust us. And I don’t want to let her down, not after what she has been through.”

Dan looks at me and laughs, “You know that’s going to be impossible, right? I have never been able to hide how I feel. How do you think Jack found out about us? My heart is forever on my sleeve,” he sighs. He was right, it’s one of the reasons I love him so much, that and his big kid side, it’s refreshing.

“Alright, I’ll let her know you know. It makes you think though doesn’t it, just how easy it could have been for me, or one of my friends to end up in a situation like that.”

“I would never hurt you, you know that right…”

“I know you would never hurt me, Jack would kill you if you did, and you love him and me too much for that to happen.” I chuckle, reaching for his hand.

“I’ll show you just how much I love you, and how I can’t wait for you to be my wife,” he says, tackling me to the floor and pinning me underneath him, claiming my mouth with his.

He moves his hand eagerly up my leg, lifting my skirt and gliding his fingers over the apex of my thighs. He moves his fingers under my panties, slowly and agonisingly taunting me. I let out an eager moan while his mouth moves down my neck. He kisses me tenderly as his finger finds my clit, circling it, making me moan louder. He spreads my legs, giving him more room to play, while I tug off his shirt.I should come home early more often if this happens,I think to myself.

“Oh my god babe, you’re so wet, can I… you know?”

“Do whatever you want to me. The way I’m feeling right now, I want you however I can have you,” I tell him and with that he rips my panties off, slides two fingers inside me and sucks my nipples through my blouse.God I love him so much.I can feel myself climbing, my muscles clamping down on his fingers as they move in and out of me, curling up inside of me to get to my sweet spot. His fingers are coated in my juices, when I feel him rub my back passage with a finger, and he slides it in, the sensation makes me climb higher, I grab his hair pulling his lips to mine and kiss him hard. I scream his name as he makes me come, wave after wave sweet high washing over me. Before I can come down, or even catch me breath, he slides his finger out and I feel the tip of his cock at my entrance. He slams into me, letting out a groan and stills himself.

“Fuck,” he says kissing me, before he thrusts into me again, building me up higher again.

My back arches to him, and he takes a nipple in his mouth, nipping at it and sending a shock of ecstasy through me. He thrusts into me harder and faster, meeting his own needs as well as mine. I can’t hear anything; my mind is full of pleasure, I feel light. As he fills me up, I hear myself moan in a way that doesn’t sound like me. I can feel myself climaxing when he thrusts one last time, and I fall apart around him. He stills and we reach our high together like always. I explode and slump to a frazzled, happy mess on the floor with Dan lying on top, kissing every part of me he can. I cup his face and kiss him back.

“I love doing that with you,” Dan says into my ear as he rolls off, and we lie on the floor together, me on his chest.
