Nathan stared at Parker without knowing how to answer. The girl had been through so much he doubted he could explain lust and desire for others to her on a way she could understand, after all those two things together had harmed more than anything else in the world.
-You need to be a bit more specific than that if you want me to answer. What do you want to know?
-Well... I want to know why it is so good for men and so bad for women. - He frowned at those words, he had a feeling he was stepping on thin ice.
-What makes you think sex is bad for women? - She didn't move from her place, but he felt her muscles get tense.
-I don't think; I know. It hurts! - He was abruptly hit with what he was trying to say and had to fight the urge to question her about her abusers and chase them with a gun on his hand. He knew she had been molested, but raped?! What in the hell!
-How old were you, sweetie? - His tone was low, he was trying to seem calm, if he didn't the entire conversation could be blown and she could freak out; that was the last thing he wanted.
-Five. When it started... - He knew she was about to cry again, he sighed deeply. - I was nine when I killed him and ran way... - He wanted to tighten his grip around her, he wanted to hold her in his arms for the rest of the night until she fully realized she was safe there and that nobody with be that intimate with her unless she wanted to. He didn't do it, he knew how Parker felt about touching in general, the fact she was still lying with her head on his chest, hugging him while speaking of such a sensitive matter was huge.
-Parker what they did to you; it had nothing to do with sex! - She raised her head to face him and stared at him like he was silly.
-No, that was sex! She said on a pretty obvious tone. - I know it, I saw some sex on some videos Hardison has on his computer when he was asleep. - Nathan did not need to know that. She changed the course of the conversation again- They said they were loving me, making love with me, but... It felt bad and it hurt! That's why I want to know, why do men keep doing that to women, why is love and sex like that? - He closed his eyes for a moment.
There's a part of him that wanted to leave that bed, he wanted to call Sophie; she could take that matter on her own hands and she'd probably explain things to Parker better than him. She had trusted him tough, not Sophie so he would stay and answer everything.
-Parker, darling, what they did to you was not sex and it was not even close to love making! - She eyed him strangely; he could see that now, she was completely confused. That was going to a very long night.
A/N: I apologies if my Parker sounds to naïf, I hope you understand he was really young when everything happen and that she didn't have anyone explaining intimacy or love to her. She has a sense that what was done to her was wrong but only because she was a child and she knows those things shouldn't be done to children. Her image of physical demonstrations of love and sex is very far from reality due to the way she was manipulated as child…
Anyway, I'll update when asked for.
Thank you for your support!
