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 Darkness Approaches.
It was a was cool late Thursday night in Trinity South Carolina. There was a slight breeze blowing through the empty streets and the full moon was high in the clear sky, casting an eerie light across the deserted town.
Gideon wandered the long dark corridors of the Buck Mansion, in search of his Master. No sound could be heard as he skulked slowly down the middle of the corridors, apart from a few low moans coming from a room buried deep within the vast confines of this property.
When he spotted the dim light under the closed door he lay down obediently, awaiting his Masters next orders. The dog could sense the darkness radiating from within the room and knew better than to intrude on such a thing, unless it became evident that his Master was in trouble; therefore, he would just wait obediently as he always did.
Lucas sensed Gideon's approached and gripped Gail's hips tighter in irritation, then smiled to himself when the mutt chose to remain outside. Caleb's birthday had been a huge success, even after Selena had tempted his love into helping her and everything had gone smoothly. Lucas had been on his best behaviour all day, being the dutiful Sheriff and the good family man; however, now he needed this time to unleash his primal urges and he was nowhere near ready to give up on his fun.
Gail gripped the edges of the table tighter as Lucas continued to pound in and out of her relentlessly. His desire was insatiable tonight and she knew her body would show the signs of their activities in the morning; however, she did not care and she craved him just as much as he did her right now.
She felt her climax rising again and laughed, she had lost count of how many times he had caused her to unravel so far and he appeared in no urgency to stop any time soon. She closed her mind off to everything around her, to allow herself to fully embrace the intensity of what was coming; however, just as they were about to experience their release together, the sound of Luke's cries through the baby monitor pierced into her brain and she forced Lucas to pull out of her.
'You've gotta be kiddin' me' Lucas snapped through gritted teeth, having to use all of his strength not to lash out at being interrupted.
'You wanted this family' Gail shot him a look of warning and started to pull her dress back on, when she heard Caleb's voice through the monitor and felt Lucas' hands grip her shoulders to prevent her from moving.
'Shhh...Give him a minute love' Lucas whispered in her ear as he reached down and ran his fingers up the outside of her thigh, then began gently playing with her sweet spot.
Gail still did not fully trust Caleb alone with Luke; however, her desire took over and she leaned back into Lucas, then raised her head to his to meet his lips. She kissed him softly at first, then when it was evident Caleb had managed to soothe Luke she allowed Lucas to gently bend her over the table again and pick up where they left off.
Lucas sensed the strength it took for Gail to take a step back and trust Caleb with Luke and he admired her commitment to their family. He understood why she would have reservations due to his past history and the fact that she had remained with him now turned him on even more. 'See, being content here with us isn't so hard. We're a normal family' he whispered, as he pushed his hard manhood deep inside of her and nipped at her bare shoulder affectionately.
Gail let out a low moan at the intense pleasure that surged through her when he entered her and laughed. 'You really are delusional' she advised, then pushed her hips back to force him deeper inside of her.
Lucas let out a loud moan and shook his head, his primal urges were returning and he sensed she was not content with his delicate thrusts; therefore, he gripped her shoulders tight and began pounding in and out of her again. It did not take long for their climax to return and he sunk his teeth into her neck when he exploded within her.
Gail allowed him a moment to rest inside of her, before shrugging him off and pushing him down on the table. The sharp stinging feeling on her neck caught her attention momentarily, she touched the spot gently with her fingers and shook her head at the excited look in his eyes when she saw the blood on her fingertips. 'What would your constituents think of their perfect dutiful Sheriff if they saw how much he liked to hurt his wife?' she asked, feigning innocence.
'They'd probably commend him for his restraint, considering how much his wife likes to hurt him' Lucas shrugged, then gripped her hips tight when she climbed up on the table and straddled him.
Gail let out a long breath, then smiled devilishly as she took him inside of her and began riding him roughly. She scraped her long nails down his chest and smiled triumphantly at his moans when her nails broke his skin. 'You love it really' she laughed and bit her lips to stifle her own moans.
'And you don't?' Lucas panted, as he sat up and kissed her passionately.
The sound of Luke's cries came through the monitor once again and Lucas cursed out loud. Gail stopped for a moment, then heard the telephone ring and felt a knot form in the pit of her stomach.
'Who the hell is callin' at this time of night?' Lucas asked irritated, as he started to lift her off the table with him.
Gail willed Caleb to Luke, then let out a relieved breath when she heard his soothing voice over the monitor. 'Leave it' she ordered, as she wrapped her legs around his waist tight and dug her nails into his back.
Lucas stared at her suspiciously, knowing she would not usually allow her curiosity at a mystery caller to be ignored so easily; however, the feeling of her closing in around his hard manhood as she tensed caused his train of thought to disappear. He gave in willingly to the look of longing in her eyes. then slammed her hard against the wall and began sucking her neck.
Gail let out a loud moan as he began to pound in and out of her, then closed her eyes and willed Gideon to their bedroom. She sensed her trusted companion rush down the corridors and up the stairs, then he entered their bedroom and pushed the ringing phone off the bedside table.
She smiled when she heard Caleb praise the dog for eliminating the sound that had disturbed his baby brother and allowed herself to fully concentrate on her lover, putting her trust in Caleb to take care of Luke in their absence.
Ben sat on an old car in the Junkyard staring blankly into his cup of coffee, then watched the paramedics take away Poppy Bowen's lifeless body in a black body bag and place it in the back of the ambulance.
As Lucas had taken some vacation time, he had gotten the call about this horrific incident in the early hours of the morning and he was the first on the scene. Rita had not been impressed that he had to leave her with Izzy so abruptly; however, no-one dared bother Lucas at home and Ben was officially in charge until his vacation time had ended, whenever that would be.
Ben knew instantly that he was out of his league when he saw the state of the poor girl; therefore, he had tried to reach Lucas by telephone after he had arrived on the scene. His telephone call was answered when he first attempted to reach his boss, then it was dropped and further calls would not connect so he had decided to stop trying and see what he could make of the situation himself.
Everyone was looking to Ben for instruction and all he could think about was the state of the poor girls body. Chunks of her flesh had been ripped off, causing bone to be visibly exposed in the bright moonlight. It had been a hard sight to witness and Floyd had thrown up when he saw her wounds, causing Ben to send the man away and leave him on the scene alone.
First Billy was attacked by a wild animal and now Poppy was killed by one. The poor girl had dealt with a lot of tragedy in her life, considering how her Mother had died and now this had happened to her on his watch. The thought of it all sickened him and he did not even know where to begin with this investigation; therefore, he picked up his telephone again in an attempt to reach Lucas for some guidance and prayed that he would pick up.
Gail awoke in the large kingsize bed, laying comfortably on Lucas' chest. She did not remember coming to bed or falling asleep last night; however, they had been going at it into the early hours of the morning, so she presumed Lucas had brought her back here when they had finished.
She let out a long breath and let calmness flow through her body after her restful sleep. It had been a long time since she had felt this relaxed and she stroked her hands affectionately down Lucas' chest, not wanting to move from her comfortable position.
Lucas felt her fingers playing with his chest hair and smiled, sensing how at ease she was. He was used to her being plagued with nightmares most nights; therefore, this relaxed feeling she was giving off was unusual to say the least. He opened his eyes slowly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, before pulling her closer and inhaling her scent. 'I don't know about you, but I'm in no fit state to move anytime soon' he whispered, feeling the aching muscles throughout his body.
Gail laughed and lifted her head slightly. 'That's a shame, I was planning on a bit of light exercise before the kids got up' she smiled, then reached down to his manhood and stroked it gently.
Lucas let out a quiet moan and shook his head in mock disapproval. 'You're gonna be the death of me Mrs Buck' he joked, then leaned down and began kissing her passionately.
Gail savoured the taste of his tongue in her mouth, then tensed when she heard a small knock on the bedroom door.
Caleb opened the door quietly, then popped his head around it to survey the room and entered holding Luke carefully when he saw that they were both awake. 'Ben's at the door' he advised Lucas, ignoring Gideon's low growls from underneath the bed.
'Tell him to go away' Gail sighed, sensing what the visit was about and stroking Lucas' manhood discreetly under the covers in an attempt to distract him.
Lucas sensed her discomfort and stared down at her curiously. Her behaviour had been off the previous night and he had let it go, due to his desire to have her how he wanted; however, today was a new day and he found himself intrigued by her change. 'Go tell him I'll be right there son' he advised, but did not move when Caleb left the room.
'Oh will you now?' Gail smiled teasingly, as she climbed on top of him and began kissing his chest. She did not want him to get involved so soon and just wanted to enjoy this time before everything became complicated.
Lucas did not like that she was attempting to distract him and sensed something was very wrong here. Although his desire for her was unwavering, he felt like she was trying to play him and he had vowed not to be tricked by her again; therefore, he gently pushed her off of him, then got out of bed and started to search for some clothes. 'You think I'm stupid?' he asked unimpressed, not looking at her.
Gail sensed his distrust and remained calm. It was obvious he had known she was hiding something last night and she had been surprised that he had let this go on for as long as it had. It appeared her hopes of keeping everything simple for a little while longer had been destroyed; therefore, she resigned herself for the game that would inevitably come next. 'You got that from me wanting to service my husband?' she asked sarcastically, choosing not to make this easy.
Lucas turned towards her and shook his head, then leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Regardless of her disobedience of late, he did not believe she intentionally wanted to hurt him and this was just her coming to terms with her true nature. Besides, it was always more fun when she made it a challenge. 'Until tonight Mrs Buck' he smiled, then left her alone to find out what was going on.
Gail rolled her eyes at his apparent indifferent manner, then let out a long sigh. She suspected he would not be so understanding when he found out what she had gotten up to last night and it would be interesting to see how accepting of her true nature he really was.
