Lucas sat in Caleb's favourite Diner with Abe and the boy. It was a good job he had visited his old friend, as the man was going stir crazy worrying about why Merlyn Ann had not slept in her bed last.
'If I wanted a teenager to look after, I would've had a child...My Rosie is gonna go crazy when she finds out' Abe snapped, then took a deep breath to calm himself.
Caleb looked at Lucas worried, who just shrugged off the concern. 'Please don't tell Gail, she'll only use it as a reason to make me leave'
Abe sighed and regarded Caleb carefully. 'Looky here boy, I ain't that girl's daddy and you brought her into the picture with my Rosie if I remeber correctly...If Rosie needs to leave with you so she can keep an eye on you all, then that's her choice and she's only doin' whats best for ya'
'To hell with that ol' man, you know that ain't ever gonna happen' Lucas interjected casually.
Abe rolled his eyes and turned his full attention to Lucas. 'You gonna trap that girl in that maze of yours boy?...' he asked irritated, '...You know she won't take kindly to bein' caged, just like you wouldn't'
Lucas laughed and waved off the comment. 'Look, no-one is goin' anywhere...' he reassured Caleb and turned back towards Abe, '...If that little Missy wants to test your boundaries friend, I don't see how that comes back on us'
Abe laughed, then took a sip of his coffee. 'My Rosie won't stand for that girls insubordination and if she believes her being locked up with you and yours is a hindrance to the young girl, I guarantee she will fight you'
'What if Merly just stay's with us? It's Christmas in 2 day's anyhow and we all should be together' Caleb suggested, trying to come up with a solution.
Lucas shook his head and did not bother dignifying the suggestion with a comment.
Abe narrowed his eyes at Caleb, he did not care for the child referring to the girl with his dead sisters name. 'What Lucas means is the girl won't want that and Rosie wouldn't force her...but I'm too old to look after a teenager old friend, so somethin' has to give'
Lucas let out a long sigh, then turned towards the Diner entrance when he heard a girl laughing. 'Speak of the devil' he said, then got up and approached Merlyn who was being closely followed by Matt.
Suddenly 'Young Girl' by Gary Puckett came on the jukebox and Lucas smiled. 'Hear that Harvard? It appears this one's for you'
Matt blushed when he realised what the song was and brushed past Lucas, not wanting a confrontation.
'Why do you have to be such an ass? It's not as though you actually care what I do' Merlyn stated, then went to follow Matt.
Lucas grabbed Merlyn's arm and dragged her to his booth, ignoring the curious stares of other people in the Diner. 'Sit down and shut up Merly Ann. You're out of line and if you can't see it, at least consider what you're doin' to the man you claim to care so much about' Lucas suggested, then smiled at the young waitress who came over to deliver their breakfast.
Merlyn went to challenge Lucas, then felt her brothers hand grip her knee. 'Where were you Merly? You had me and Abe worried'
Abe did not approve of Lucas' action and remained silent, he could see how angry the girl was and even he knew there must be a better way to handle this than making a public spectacle.
'You know what? You lot don't get to interfere with me...I'm goin' to find my cousin!' she snapped and started to get up, then felt Lucas' hand on her wrist like a clamp.
Lucas pulled Merlyn back down, then leaned over the table so only she could hear him. 'You disturb the mother of my child with this childish outburst and I swear there'll be no danger of Harvard crossing the line, as you won't be around to tempt him...and this time, I'll be certain to ensure your body can't be found' he threatened.
'You wouldn't dare' Merlyn stared back at him defiantly.
'Test me Merly Ann...you know what lengths I'll go to in order to protect my family' he assured her.
They both stared at each other for a moment, then their connection was broken when Abe pushed his way past Lucas and out of the booth. 'I won't be a party to this boy...' he warned, then turned to Merlyn. '...Come on, you can fill me in on your activities for the night while we go join the good Doctor'
Merlyn rushed up to join Abe and shot Caleb a disapproving glance, for allowing Lucas to take control.
'She's mad at me' Caleb said sadly and began to play with his food using his fork.
'But she ain't runnin' to your cousin and interferrin' with our living arrangement now is she?' Lucas asked and smiled when Caleb nodded his acceptance at what he had just done.
Gail sat comfortably on the large bed with Luke propped up on a pillow, to enable him to feed comfortably. The sharp discomfort of his feeding was starting to ease slightly and she allowed herself to close her eyes for a moment, while she held her son securely.
Gail was taken back to the large Dining room, where it appeared a few months had past as Rosemary's hair had grown significantly. Her past self was wearing her loose curls draped over her shoulders and her dress appeared tighter than her previous vision.
'I wish you wouldn't employ my family to be your servants' The young blonde woman said, as her cousin collected her plate.
'Your Uncle and I have a gentleman's agreement...you'd do well to keep out of my business Darlin'' Master Buck warned and wrapped one of Rosemary's loose curls around his finger playfully, when she leaned down to collect his plate.
Rosemary blushed and took a large intake of breath, then rushed off to the kitchen with the dirty plates.
'You're inappropriate with her' The blonde woman stated, as she took a sip of her wine.
'Jealous?' Master Buck asked, with a wicked grin.
The blonde woman got up and stormed out of the room, Gail sensed her leave the house and felt concern for Rosemary when she re-entered the room with a fresh bottle of wine. By this point Master Buck had moved to the fireplace and beckoned for Rosemary to come to him. Rosemary approached him nervously and set the bottle down on the table, before obediently following his orders.
When Rosemary reached him he gently took her hand and pulled her in front of the fireplace, then slowly turned her around so her back was to him. 'You're shiverin', this'll warm you up' he whispered in her ear, as he brushed her curls away from her shoulders with his finger.
Gail could feel the confusing arousal Rosemary felt, the girl clearly did not fully understand what was happening to her as she was so young and innocent at this time. Rosemary stood obediently and allowed him to pull down her dress strap, then run his lips over her bare shoulder.
'How old are you now love?' Master Buck whispered, before placing a gently kiss on her shoulder.
'Fifteen' Rosemary said quietly and let out a small moan when his lips touched her bare skin.
'How many months?' he asked, with a hint of frustration in his tone.
Rosemary tried to gather her thoughts, his closeness was distracting and she was finding it hard the think.
'Fifteen years and ten months' Gail said in unison with Rosemary and watched as Master Buck pulled her dress strap back up, walked towards the bottle of wine on the table, then picked it up and headed out of the room, leaving Rosemary alone.
Lucas returned home to check on Gail, after dropping Caleb off at the park to play with his friends. He had ran into the Mayor's wife Mary and she had proposed something that he needed to run past Gail. He sensed his love was still in bed and shook his head, she clearly must be exhausted if she could not bring herself to come down.
After hanging his jacket behind the door Lucas stared at the overly decorated Christmas Tree that he was forced to have in his entrance hall with disgust, then headed up the stairs to his bedroom. When he entered the room, he saw both Gail and Luke had fallen asleep when the baby had been feeding and he smiled. He quietly moved towards the bed, carefully removed Luke from his position resting on Gail's breast and placed him in his cot. He regarded Gail laying peacefully and felt his manhood grow hard, when he decided to carefully get on the bed beside her.
Lucas caressed Gail's bare breast gently and watched as she stirred slightly. He knew breastfeeding his son had been hard for her at first; however, she had worked through the pain without complaint and continued to feed their son in this natural way. He stroked her nipple softly and bit his lip as he tried to control his urges, then moved her head to her breast and placed his mouth over her tender nipple.
Gail let out a painful moan when she felt the strange pressure on her breast and her eyes shot open when the sucking she felt did not match her sons. Gail looked down and saw Lucas, then tangled her hand in his hair and attempted to pull him off of her; however, he removed her hand easily and continued sucking.
Lucas did not want to hurt her, this was something new that he did not want his son to solely experience and he wanted to taste her. When he was satisfied that he had once again tasted all of her, he released her breast and pulled himself up to her.
Gail gently wiped the liquid off his lips with her thumb and shook her head. She knew he was possessive and dominating; therefore, this was just another way to make him believe he owned her. She was not mad as she knew he could not help being this way and she was more concerned about her visions.
'I want you' he whispered, then kissed her passionately and ran his hand down her body to her sweet spot.
Gail allowed him to kiss her, then took his hand in hers and removed it from between her legs. 'I want to move back in to my house and have my old figure back, but we all can't get what we want can we?' she asked sarcastically, then got out of the bed.
Lucas knelt on the bed and grabbed her arm, to turn her back towards him. He ran his hands up the outside of her legs, then pulled down her pajama shorts and nuzzled her sweet spot.
Gail inhaled deeply and tangled her hand in his hair, then let out a small laugh when she felt him begin to play with his tongue. There was no point in stopping this act, as it would only prolong the inevitable and it always turned him on the more when she fought back.
When Gail had accepted the act, Lucas pulled her back down on the bed and moved between her legs. He began to nip and suck at her sweet spot, then pushed his tongue inside her and tasted her fully.
Gail turned her head into the pillow, to stifle her loud moans so they did not wake the baby. She could not deny how easily he could make her come, especially when she chose not to resist and she bit the pillow when her climax came to prevent her calling out his name.
Lucas licked her sweet spot with a sense of pride, then pulled himself over her and parted her legs with his knees. 'See, it's not so bad being here with our son...This way I know exactly where you are when I want to service you' he teased and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Gail stroked his cheek, then ran her hand through her hair. 'This only makes me want more and you know we can't do that yet'
Lucas nodded and bit his lip in frustration, he craved to be inside of her; however, he would not allow himself to hinder her full recovery. 'A dinner' Lucas said as he climbed off her, trying to distract them both from their urges.
'What dinner?' Gail asked, as she propped herself up on her elbows.
'Our elite men's group are wanting to check up on you, since you've been out of bounds for the last few months...Mary suggested a dinner' he advised and prepared himself for a bad reaction.
Gail thought for a moment, then nodded. 'I'm in' she agreed, then got out of bed and went to the wardrobe.
'As simple as that?' Lucas asked in disbelief.
Gail looked over her shoulder and smiled. 'I know I can't hide from everyone forever...Now, I think someone is late for work' she said with mock scorn.
Lucas glanced at his watch, then stood up and adjusted his pants due to his uncomfortably hard manhood. 'It appears I am, you behave now' he warned, then placed a kiss on her forehead and smacked her behind before leaving.
