1005words
"I took almost two years without speaking to my parents because of him..he had brainwashed me.
"Then the monster really came out. I stopped wanting to really talk to him and he would get angry with me. It started with hard grabs on my arms, yelling in my face to him back handling me so hard that I felt like my teeth were going to get out ..He became angry with me for no apparent reason, I remember him coming home from work and if things weren't the way he exactly wanted them or dinner wasn't on the table, he took it out on me with his hands",
Her voice was shaking and my entire body was tense. I wanted to get my hands on this Jason guy's neck and strangle him until his life left his eyes. He hurt my Lynn and for that he will pay.
"Why didn't you leave him sooner?", I asked, trying to keep my voice quiet.
She let out a small laugh and shook her head. "And go where? He had alienated me from everyone I ever knew. And the friends that I thought I had were all sleeping with my husband behind my back. There was nowhere for me to go",She responded then her face suddenly changed and she smiled warmly.
"That's when I met Luis online. He was a gem and we became friends fast. He flew out to Seattle to come over and see me. He is the reason why I left Jason for good and started my own life. He saved my life. If it hadn't been for Luis, I would have probably still be in that awful marriage with 2.5 children while Jason controlled everything",
Fuck! I was really trying to hold my shit together. Her story reminded me of my parent's story. Only my mother wasn't so lucky and got addicted while my father took out his anger on me. And I was even more upset now because there wasn't a damn thing I could. I was still haunted by my past, how am I going to help Lynn through hers.
Then she grabbed my hands and pulled me from my thoughts. I stared into her eyes and I knew then that I would never let harm come over her again. As long as there is breath in my body, Lynn will be protected.
"I will never let him hurt you again, Lynn", I whispered reaching out to cup her cheek as I stroked my thumb across her bottom lip. Her eyes misted over as she blinked at me. "I know", She whispered back.
"I'd like to kiss you Lynn", But I was afraid she didn't want me too. We had been through so much in the last twenty hours and I didn't want to push away my luck.
She slowly nodded."I'd like to......",
Leaning forward very slowly, I brought my lips to hers and gently kissed her plump ones. The kiss was soft before I pulled back but she grabbed my collar of my shirt and pulled me back towards her mouth, slamming her lips onto mine.
My hand left her cheek and twisted in her hair, leaning her head back so I could fucking devour her. There was no holding back now. Her moan filled my mouth at the same time that our tongues collided. Fuck she tasted so good and it took everything in me not to push her onto her back as I tasted and licked every inch of her perfect body.
But I couldn't, I stopped myself quickly.
I pressed my forehead against hers as our heavy breathing filled up the space between us. My heart was fucking pounding in my chest and I knew I needed to go before I couldn't control myself again.
"I should go", I breathed as I pulled away from her and stood up from the couch but before I could go too far, she grabbed my hand and stopped me.
"Stay.......", She whispered, pulling me back towards her and it was the only place I wanted to be in right now.
LYNN'S POV.
I didn't want Drake anywhere but right here with me. After we told each other our deepest secrets, I somehow felt closer to him. The connection we had before was on fire, but this new one was a fucking inferno.
Everything was out in the open and it felt more freeing than I thought it would ever. After my horrible experience with Jason, I never thought I would be able to find a guy that made my stomach flutter with butterflies joved just thinking about him.
When I told Drake that I was in love with him too, I completely meant it with my whole heart. That's huge for me. Now I just hope we can continue to make things work because I didn't want to lose him.
"Thank you for telling me everything, Drake", I whispered as I reached over and took his hand in mine.
He lightly squeezed mine before bringing my hand to his lips. His eyes stared into mine as he lightly kissed my fingers. It amazed me that even this small gesture made my heart thump wildly for him. I didn't know it before until now , he was everything I have ever needed and probably forever.
"I'm going to warn you that i don't know how to do this", Drake said.
"Do what", I let out a small giggle.
