Second Chances : Chapter Three

Charlotte had been writing in her journal before bed. She was expecting a visit from her mother the next day at the Autism Speaks Academy and she had been looking forward to it very much. She picked up the framed photo of her mother and smiled at her mom's image. "I miss you," she said as she lightly kissed the photo.

A couple of orderlies walked into Charlotte's room. "Is it time to turn out the light?" she asked.

The orderlies just shook their head. "I'm afraid you're coming with me," the taller one said.

Charlotte got a nervous look in her eyes. "No, I- I am always in bed by 11 PM. That's when I put my journal away and turn out the lights," she fretted.

One of the orderlies smirked. "Maybe we want to have a little fun with you," said the shorter of the two. He unzipped his pants and showed Charlotte his throbbing erection.

"No, no! This is wrong!" Charlotte cried out. She scrambled off the bed and started looking for somewhere to hide.

Just then, a woman walked into the room. She walked over to where Charlotte was crouched fearfully in the corner. "Hi, Charlotte. I am your grandmother," she said. "And I am going to help you. Come with me."

Charlotte shook her head and tried to pull her arm away when the woman touched her. "My mother said I am not supposed to talk to strangers. I don't know you... and I can't go with you," Charlotte said in a worried voice.

"It's alright, Charlotte. I am your grandmother - your father's mother. My name is Irene. And I am going to save you from these very bad men," Irene told the frightened young woman.

"Th- thank you for helping me," Charlotte said as Irene helped her to her feet.

Irene reached for the bag the orderlies had packed containing a few of Charlotte's possessions. As her granddaughter stepped out in the hallway, she had a few words with the orderlies and paid them for their "services." "Thank you for 'helping' to convince Charlotte to leave the academy with me. She probably would have protested if we had handled it any other way. Also, thanks for getting the blood sample for the DNA test when Charlotte was sleeping," Irene said as she gave the orderlies the last of their pay.

"You're welcome," said the tall one. "What should we do if her mother comes asking questions?"

"You know what I instructed you to tell her," Irene said. "Now I must go, my granddaughter and I are going on a trip."

After they had left the academy, Irene informed Charlotte she was taking her on a trip. "We are going to fly on an airplane!" Irene exclaimed with a happy smile.

"I- I can't get on an airplane. No, no! We'll crash!" Charlotte cried out fearfully.

"You will get on that airplane," Irene insisted sternly.

"I want to see my mother now," Charlotte said sadly. "Where is my mother?"

"You'll be reunited with her soon, darling. I promise."

"Where are we going?" asked Charlotte. "I'm supposed to be in my bed right now. I am always in bed by 11 PM."

Xxxooo

"Are you sure, Marty? Are you absolutely positive that you want me to make love to you?" Todd whispered.

He couldn't make love to her until he had her full consent. Not after Spring Fling.

"Yes, Todd. I want you. Make love to me now," she pleaded. She caressed his hardening cock through his pajama pants.

"I love you, Marty," he told her. "I've always loved you..."

Very gently, he removed her clothing, then his own. "I need to be inside you," he murmured against her lips.

He took her mouth in a passionate kiss as he sunk himself into her tight, slick depths. "Ohhh God, you feel so good," he groaned.

"Todd!" Marty cried out as she locked her legs around his waist.

Xxxooo

AJ just shook his head. "I have a plan, but it would be too dangerous for me to tell you about it. Go home with Michael. I'll take care of Irene and Faison," AJ said to Starr.

"Starr and I want to help," Michael insisted. "Her little girl has been kept from her all this time. We need to find them."

"She's my grandmother," Starr said of Irene. "And obviously she wants to hurt me and my dad. I don't want anyone else to get hurt. I have to help you rescue Cole and my little girl."

"I'm going to be working with Anna Devane and Robert Scorpio, but we'll need your help as well," AJ finally relented.

"Alright, we'll go with you to defeat Faison and Irene," Michael stated. "But what about Mom?"

He looked down at his mother who was just starting to stir on the wooden bench. If Carly woke up, would she try to stop them?

Xxxooo

"If you're not in love with Tea, then who ARE you in love with?" John demanded when Victor stopped mid-sentence.

"Wouldn't you like to know," Victor responded in a sneer.

"Who are you talking to?" Tea demanded of John.

John's erection had dwindled and he had stopped making love to her half-way into the call. When John had mentioned her to the caller, Tea's curiosity had peaked. Who was on the phone?

"Answer the question," John insisted.

"If you must know, I am in love with Crazy Margaret, my son Sam's mother," Victor replied as he didn't want John to know the truth. "She rescued me from my evil mother... and I think we might really have a chance together."

"Whatever. I know you are lying," John said in a growl. "Listen, I'd really like to help you... but like I said, I am busy and I can't-."

"Tea's baby, my son is being held at Irene's compound. Caesar Faison is working with her, and they have several people held captive in cells at her compound. If we don't do something fast, someone's going to get hurt," Victor said urgently. "Now are you going to help me or not?"

XOXOXO

"I'm supposed to be in bed asleep by eleven," Charlotte repeated as she rocked back and forth. Maintaining a schedule was very important to her and she didn't understand where her grandmother was taking her.

"Don't worry gorgeous. I promise that you'll be asleep be eleven," Irene said as she reached into her purse and pulled out a needle.

Charlotte's eyes grew big and she began to scream as Irene approached her.

"It's just a sedative to help you sleep my darling," Irene said as she grabbed Charlotte and pushed the powerful drugs into her arm.

Charlotte's eyes closed as her body grew limp in Irene's arms.

"We'll be at my compound before you know it," Irene said as she smiled.

XOXOXO

"But what about mom?" Michael asked.

"She's coming with us," A.J. whispered as he scooped Carly up in his arms and gently laid her in the back of the limo. Starr and Michael climbed in and sat across from A.J. who was stroking Carly's hair while she slept.

"You still love her don't you?" Starr asked as she looked into A.J.'s eyes.

"She's Michael's mom so I'm always going to care about her," A.J. whispered.

"Where are we going?" Michael asked wanting to change the subject.

"We're going to the Airport and taking the Quartermaine's plane to Irene's compound. Anna and Robert are meeting us there," A.J. explained.

When they arrived at the airport, A.J. carried Carly onto the plane and smiled at Anna and Robert who had already boarded.

"It looks like you picked up a few people on the way," Robert said as Michael and Starr boarded the plane.

"Well we can use all the help that we can get," A.J. said as the doors closed and the airplane began to move.

XOXOXO

"Yes...of course I'll help just as soon as I get off," John said.

"Okay...knowing you, that won't take very long. Once you're finished satisfying your urges with my wife I need you to board the next plane for Switzerland. There's a diner across the street from the airport. Meet me there as soon as you can," Victor said as he hung up the phone.

Victor pulled a picture out of his back pocket. The picture of her had kept him going even when things were at their worst. "I love you and I promise that we'll be together soon," Victor whispered as he kissed her photo.

"Who was on the phone?" Tea asked as soon as John had hung up.

"I'll tell you afterwards...right now I really need to concentrate on finding perfect satisfaction in you," he said as he began to suck on her breasts as the blood once again filled his raging penis.

Once he could feel that his peppy had grown hard again he began to thrust in and out of Tea with increased speed until they had reached their orgasm.

"Who was on the phone?" Tea asked as soon as John had pulled out of her and began to throw his clothes on.

"That was your husband Victor."

"WHAT?" Tea screeched. "Victor's alive and you knew it and you had sex with me anyways," Tea shouted as she slapped John across the face.

"Why not...Victor said that he didn't mind."

"You're lying."

"I'm sorry, but he loves somebody else."

"I won't believe that until I hear him say that," Tea said as she began to get dressed.

"Fine, I'm taking the next flight to Switzerland to meet him. Why don't you come with me and then you can ask him yourself," John said as he fantasized about the many positions that they could try out on the plane on the long flight to Switzerland. Fucking Tea Delgado over and over again would be a whole lot more entertaining then watching some dumb in-flight movie.

"Fine, let's go McBain, but I'm warning you...keep your hands to yourself," Tea threatened as she grabbed her purse and followed John out of her hotel room.

XOXOXO

"Todd," Marty cried out as she locked her legs around his waist.

"Did I...did I hurt you?" Todd asked as he froze.

"No...it feels so good. Please don't stop," Marty pleaded as she arched her back to take more of his length inside of her.

Todd thrust in and out of her as he sucked on her neck.

"Oh...god...Todd!" Marty screamed as she scratched her nails down his back.

"Oh...Marty," Todd whispered as he felt her walls tighten up around his throbbing erection as she released her cum. It felt so good that it pushed him over the edge of ecstasy and his body shook as he released himself fully into her.

"That was...that was amazing Todd," Marty said.

"We always are amazing together Marty. I love you more then I've ever loved anybody else," Todd whispered as he leaned his head against Marty's chest and listened to the rhythmic beating of her heart. He was still buried deep inside of her and he wanted to stay that way all night long. He wanted to savor this moment of ecstasy for as long as he could.

"I love you too," he heard her whisper as they fell asleep.

The next morning Marty opened her eyes and realized that Todd was sleeping on top of her. She knew that they had sex because she could feel him buried deep inside of her, but she couldn't remember why.

XOXOXO

Once the plane had landed Irene carried Charlotte into her compound as she smiled. The next phase of her plan for revenge was about to begin and her granddaughter would play a very important role.
