DAY OF RECKONING
CHAPTER 14
Dara and Lucas had almost forgotten the obstacle in their lives as they enjoyed their lunch, until they heard that all too familiar voice that they had both come to despise.
"Well, I heard there was an addition to our happy little family." Looking at Dara in contempt he challenged, "I heard you had an unfortunate accident and had a bad time with the baby, nice to see you fully recovered."
Dara narrowed her gaze as she replied sweetly, "Thank you for your concern, but as you can see I am a lot stronger and tougher than I look. You might be surprised at what I'm capable of dealing with."
Answering her challenge Garrett issued, "Careful sister dear, you might come up against something you cant handle one day."
Looking at the man evenly, Dara responded, "I'm certain I will, one day, but I'm also certain that you're not that something."
Realizing that she wasn't as temperamental as Lucas, Garrett turned his attention back to the baby who, although wasn't crying, obviously didn't like the person now interested in her. He was just about to reach a hand out to touch her when Dara spoke in deadly seriousness.
"I suggest that you leave my child alone unless you're tired of living."
Glancing back at her he started to taunt her until he saw the look of hatred in her eyes. Backing away slightly he challenged, "Really? I'm not worried I don't see such a tiny woman like you as being much of a threat to me."
Lucas, who had had enough of the other man spoke up and glared at the younger man as he warned, "No, she may not be much of a threat but her husband is, now leave us alone."
Garrett sensing his opportunity looked his sister in law up and down leeringly as he smiled lecherously and addressed Lucas, "You know I can see why you married her brother dear, I can also understand how you two go so many children. Tell me something, is she as much of a hellcat in the bedroom since the kids as she was before them."
Dara seeing Lucas about to totally lose his temper at the taunt placed her hand on his arm, drawing his attention.
Lucas turned to look at his wife and could see the silent plea in her eyes for him to control himself, understanding immediately he remained quiet and gave a slight nod, indicating his understanding.
Garrett watched the exchange in frustration, he didn't understand how, but this woman and his brother had some kind of ability between them allowing them to communicate without a word.
Dara watched the look of frustration on the younger man's face with satisfaction. The truth of the matter was that the ability that she and Lucas had stemmed simply from their love and understanding for each other. Smiling sweetly at her brother in law she got up and slung the diaper bag over her shoulder as she took the handle of the stroller and prepared to leave. Looking Garrett in the eyes as she continued smiled she asked demurely, "Do you really wonder what I'd be like in bed Garrett?"
Not quite believing his ears he was taken slightly off guard but recovered quickly as he smiled seductively and nodded.
Dara leaned over the rail and placed her hand along his cheek as she continued smiling and replied, "Well, I'll tell you what dear, when they start selling ice skates in hell come and see me because that will be when you find out, when your able to ice skate in hell." With that she turned and left followed by Lucas who was laughing, as were people who had heard the interchange.
Garrett stared after her with hatred in his eyes. He knew things would be coming to a head soon enough, but he was now determined that before it was over with he would have his brother's wife and make her pay for her insults.
Lucas shook his head as he helped Dara put the baby back in the car when they reached the station, "You know I should be upset with you for that comment, but seeing that bastard speechless makes it worth it."
Dara smiled at her husband's good mood as she placed her hands against his shirtfront, "I'm glad that I could amuse you darling."
Lucas wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer as he bent down and oblivious to anyone watching placed a deep kiss on her mouth, looking up he stated, "Um, you definitely do that, in more ways than one, speaking of which what did Crower say?"
Dara smiled broadly as she answered brightly, "Both of us are as healthy as we can be, Matt seems to think that the fatigue syndrome is in an upswing and Ria's as healthy as she can possibly be."
Lucas nodded as he hugged her tightly to him. Releasing her he opened the car door for her and stated, "I'll be home later on, okay?" Dara nodded as she fastened her seat belt and left.
Garrett had stood back in the shadows, watching the interchange between the two. He was beginning to grow impatient and he knew he would have to make a definite move soon, everything up until now had just been play time for him but he knew that time was coming quickly to finish this and he knew the opportunity would present itself soon.
