I do not own any American Gothic characters, this is a work of fan fiction. This story is a continuation of my previous stories and follows on from No Way Back.
It was a late July evening in Trinity South Carolina. Although the sun had set giving way to the darkness, the temperature was still at an all time high and the towns residents were struggling to keep cool. A storm had been in full swing for the better part of an hour, forcing most residents in doors for the night and leaving the streets bare.
Rain crashed violently against the open window of Selena Coombs' home, while she stood staring blankly at the world outside. Since her 'accident' she had taken to coming straight home after school and wallowing in her own self pity, before her lover returned home from his shift at Juniper House and she was expected to play the dutiful girlfriend. The routine was beginning to get tedious; however, he was the only constant loyal thing she had left and she needed someone to be with her right now.
Selena did not believe she was a bad person, all she had ever wanted to do in life was to gain the approval of the man she truly loved. Not only had her love married someone else and washed his hands of her, he had taken away any chance of her being able to have her own family. She had never considered herself being a Mother, she had never planned her life that far ahead; however, now that the option was taken away from her, all she could think about was what might have been.
The act that Lucas had so clearly instigated was a betrayal of the biggest kind, she had not deserved this fate after all the years she had remained loyal to him and it had left her feeling empty. As if being alienated from her Father due to the things she did for Lucas had not been bad enough, but to remove her ability to ever have a child of her own? She had always believed she was the right person to remain by his side, she would have done anything for him including carrying a child for him; however, that ship had sailed and all that was left was anger.
A crash of thunder bellowed overhead and it jolted Selena out of her thoughts, when she glanced outside she saw a shadow stood across the street from her property watching her. She stared at the unidentifiable figure cautiously, knowing exactly who it was. Lucas appeared to want to make his presence known, which never boded well for the objects of his games and she had bore witness to this play many times before.
Selena took a slow step back from the window, not taking her eyes off of the figure across the street. Billy would be home any minute now and all she had to do was get through until he returned to her, as Lucas would not attempt to do something in front of his so called friend. She continued to back up into the living room area and closed the door quickly, feeling better with the figure out of her vision.
She was fine, this was nothing and she was just being silly. She repeated the words over and over again in her head, in an attempt to make them stick; however, if she truly believed she was fine, why were the hairs on her arms standing on end and why could she not stop shivering even though the heat was nearly unbearable?
Selena took a deep breath as she felt her back touch the wall and continued to watch the only door that provided access to this room. When nothing happened for a few minutes, Selena let out a sigh of relief and allowed herself to relax a little. Suddenly the window to her left opened quickly, then a strong hand grabbed her by the neck and pulled her out into the garden. She was thrown roughly onto the wet, muddy floor as the rain bore down on her and thunder crashed loudly overhead.
Without a second thought, Selena instinctively jumped up and ran down her driveway to get away from her attacker. She turned her head when she was nearly out into the open street and saw the grim smile of the dark figure slowly following her. As she turned back towards the street she was struck hard by Billy Peele's large brown truck and crashed down to the ground broken.
Lucas smiled when his twin returned back to him, then leaned his head back and let out a loud moan. The soft lips wrapped around his hard manhood had made it difficult for him to concentrate; however, he had completed his intended action and he called out as his climax hit suddenly.
'And what would that action be?' Gail asked curiously, when she released his manhood from her mouth and licked his residue off of her lips. 'I hope it involved your tongue meeting a certain part of my anatomy'
Lucas pulled her to him and kissed her passionately, before spinning her around on the bed and moving down between her legs. 'You think I'd allow you to have all the fun Mrs Buck?' he asked seductively, then pushed his tongue inside of her and began making patterns.
Gail sensed something within her trying to get her attention. Although he had been with her when she was servicing him, she had noticed a change in him for a few moments and part of her was curious as to why. She suspected he had been up to something, especially when he had been tense for a few minutes then his whole body relaxed just before his climax.
A large surge of pleasure burst through her when he began to suck and tease her with his tongue, this caused her to push away the intrusion within herself that was trying to get her attention and focused solely on him.
Lucas sensed her mind wander for a moment, then smiled when she returned back to him. It was hard keeping his extracurricular activities hidden now that she had accepted her true self; however, he was always up for a challenge and it just made distracting her all the more fun.
When she called out his name, Lucas pulled himself away from her sweet spot and kissed her soft skin as he moved slowly up to her lips. He kissed her passionately for a few minutes, then parted her legs with ease and pushed his hard manhood inside of her. He kept his movements slow and savoured her sweet spot closing in around him, then a flash of Selena laying broken on the sidewalk surged through his mind and his thrusts became harder.
Gail was relieved when his movements became more vigorous. She had discovered that allowing herself to give in to her true feelings for him caused her to relax into an accepting state and she could not afford that when she was still struggling to control her homicidal urges. What she truly desired to do to certain people she knew was unacceptable and she yearned to be punished; therefore, when she sensed his focus change and he began to take her with an increased force, she dug her nails into his back deep and scratched him hard to draw blood.
The feel of her claws scraping down his back so roughly tapped into his dark side and Lucas allowed himself to release some of the rage he kept buried deep down. As it came over him he increased his force, pounding in and out of her vigorously and started to pull back when he heard her pained moans.
Gail felt him start to slow and sunk her teeth into his neck, she bit down hard then smiled when his pace picked up again. When his hand gripped her neck tight, she did not fight and allowed him to squeeze her tight. The air coming into her body lessened; however, she still used all of her strength to claw at his back and tried to stifle her pained moans.
Lucas tightened the grip around her neck when she did not fight and continued to pound in and out of her roughly. He had attempted to make their unions softer since the wedding; however, their entanglement always seemed to end up like this and who was he to stop her from being punished if that was what she truly wanted?
Gail struggled to breath as his hand closed around her neck tighter, but she would not yield. Suddenly her climax hit violently and she heard him call out her name as he exploded within her.
Lucas released her neck as soon as their orgasms came together, then softly licked and kissed the skin around her neck that was glowing pink from the force of his grip. As he pulled out of her and heard his love wince in pain, he let out a sigh of disappointment in himself and stroked her sweet spot gently. 'Not that I'm complainin' about our unions and all, but one day this may go too far' he warned, then began sucking her breasts gently.
Gail let out an aroused breath and smiled at the pain she was feeling between her legs. 'Maybe that's what I want, death by pleasure' she mocked, not wanting to talk about how she really felt.
Lucas released her breast and laughed, then brought his lips to hers for a passionate kiss. 'If that's what you want, I might just grant your wish one day' he joked, when they pulled away from their embrace.
'I might just let you' she laughed, then let out an exasperated sigh when Luke started to cry in his crib and got out of bed.
Matt smiled as he exited the hospital after a long shift, M was sat outside waiting for him and he was looking forward to a quiet night without Lucy. Matt had never thought he would get the chance to form such a close bond with another child, after the death of his Claire and although he did not like being away from Lucy, he knew she was in good hands and he was looking forward to having M all to himself.
Merlyn sensed Matt approaching and got up from her seated position on the hospital steps. She was excited that they were finally getting some real alone time together tonight and felt an urgency to rush away from here with her companion.
'Was Abe alright having Lucy? I feel a little bad dropping a toddler on an old man with such short notice' he advised, as he linked her arm in his and they began walking towards the bus stop in front of the hospital.
'Abe is trusted with Luke all the time, he likes havin' the company even if he won't admit it' she laughed, then let out a long breath when Matt stroked his fingers down her bare arm.
Matt had let go of his concern over showing M affection in public, after Gail had took him out for dinner to inform him of Christie's departure from town. Although his best friend was very protective of M, she had given her blessing for him to pursue a relationship with her as long as he ensured that he did not hurt her. The conversation had been awkward and had come out of nowhere; however, he trusted Gail and knew she had both of their best interests at heart.
Now that he felt able to show his true feelings, he did not want to screw it up and he sensed M was ready for something real. 'Let's go somewhere up town, I want to show you off and treat you to a nice dinner' he smiled , as he pulled her close.
Merlyn stroked her chin in mock consideration, then stopped and turned towards him. 'I say we go straight to your place and I can do a little showing off there' she teased, unlike herself and laughed when Matt's jaw dropped open.
Before Matt could muster up a response, Billy Peele's truck sped down the road and pulled up in front of the hospital entrance. Billy jumped out and called for Matt with urgency when he spotted his presence, then carefully took Selena's limp body in his arms and pulled her out of the truck. Matt turned towards M, who just rolled her eyes and signalled for him to go to Billy, then rushed towards the man to see how he could help.
Merlyn spotted a dark shadow at the back of Billy's truck and let out a long frustrated sigh, this had Lucas Buck written all over it and once again he had ruined her plans for a normal night.
