She was on her tenth set of tens when Fillip came running out of the clubhouse past the table she was sitting on, she watched him run towards the ladder to the roof calling her name. She heard him curse as he climbed the ladder.

"Damn it Genevieve! I told you..." He cursed more as he climbed down from the roof. She sat on the table and watched her husband walk back towards the door, he looked at her sitting on the table. "Damn it Gen!" He grabbed her arm pulling her off the table, this rekindled her anger.

"If you're going to fuck another women, at least wait until I'm not in the other room." She pulled her arm away from him and started to walk away. She heard him curse again, she was picked up and carried into the clubhouse. He carried her through the main room and into their room, he laid her on the bed.

"Listen to me very carefully Lass! You are the only women I want in my bed!" He kissed her, she tried to push him away. "Stop fighting me, love. I'm not going to let you go!" He pulled her into his arms and held her, he looked into her eyes. "I can see the storm brewing in your eyes, tell me what's troubling you."

She closed her eyes and let the tears flow freely down her face. "Please...I..." She was crying harder, she couldn't talk.

Chilbs felt helpless, all he could do was hold her and wipe away her tears. "Tell me love." She got up from the bed and walked away from him, she crossed her arms across her body. She couldn't look at him, she didn't want to see his look of disgust when she told him.

"They raped me." She said it so quietly, she wasn't sure he heard her, over the ragging party in the clubhouse.

"Christ." She heard him get off the bed and walk towards the door. His arms were on her, he spun her around and pulled her into his arms, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid."

He pulled back, he put his hands on her face, looking into her eyes. "Afraid of what?"

She clinched her jaw. "Of you not wanting me. I begged Tara not to tell you. I was ashamed...I didn't fight hard enough..."

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! I will want you until the day I die, love! You have nothing to be ashamed of, those bastards...fight hard enough? You have bruises to prove you fought."

She laid her head on his shoulder, he picked her up and carried her to bed. He laid down with her, holding her in his arms. "I love you." She whispered as she drifted off to sleep.

"I love you." He kissed the top of her head.

One Month Later

Kerrianne was sitting at the bar drinking coffee when Gen got up the next morning. Gen braced herself for the hatefulness that she was about to incur. She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down. Kerrianne got up and went into the kitchen. Well, that wasn't too bad, she didn't even speak to me. She thought to herself. Kerrianne came back carrying two plates, she sat one down in front of Gen. The other she sat in the spot she was sitting at and started to eat. Gen looked at her with a confused look on her face.

"I'm sorry I was awful to you. Can we start over?" She asked.

"Of course, it's forgotten."

Kerrianne reached over and put her hand on Gen's stomach. "I'm excited to be a big sister." Gen put her hand onto of Kerrianne's, and smiled at her. "Thank you for keeping me safe."

"I'm your step-mum, it's my job."

"I wanted to make peace with you before I leave. I go back home tomorrow."

"You'll come to visit, often?"

"I'd like that."

"You'll always be welcome."

They hugged each other and ate their breakfast.

They took Kerrianne to the airport the next day.

"I'm so glad you came to visit us. You are always welcome."She hugged her tightly.

"Thank you Gen!"

"Let's know when you get home safely."

"I will Da. I love you both."

"We love you, too!" Gen kissed her on the cheek.

They watched her go through the gate, they waited until her plane was in the air before leaving the airport.

"I have a surprise for you love." She looked at him.

"Oh really?"

He smiled at her, not saying another word until they were in his truck. "Now be a good Lass, and put this blindfold on."

"Hmmm, I'm not sure I like where this is going."

"You trust me right?"

"With my life."

"All right then! And no peeking!"

She sat in the passenger side of the truck trying to figure out where they were going. "Are you peeking?"

"No!" He chuckled at her frustration. After twenty minutes of driving, he pulled off the road, he stopped and slapped her hands when she went to take off the blindfold.

"Fillip Telford, did you just hit me?"

"Aye, Lass! Because it's not time to look yet."

"Hmfp!"

He laughed. "Sit still and let me help you out of the truck." He came to her door, opening it and helping her out of the truck. He placed his arm around her waist and guided her steps. He took off her blindfold, she blinked a few times letting her eyes adjust to the light.

"Oh Fillip! It's beautiful!" She looked at the newly built house, and stables. She turned to him putting her hands on his face and kissing him.

"Are you ready to go inside?"

She opened the door to go inside, he stopped her, he picked her up and carried her inside the house. She expected it to be empty, she looked around and it was fully furnished. She climbed the stairs to the bedrooms and explored, he followed her. All the rooms were done except one, it would be the nursery. She walked into the master bedroom, all their clothes were their.

"We can stay here tonight, if you want love."

"I'd like that."

She sat down on the bed, and looked around. He sat down beside her, he caressed her face. He slowly started to kiss her, and touching her. She pull away from him.

"I'm sorry..." She looked away from him.

He closed his eyes. "I want to make love to you Lass. I know it may take awhile for you to get back, but I'll wait." He pulled her into his arms and held her, she relaxed in his arms.

"I want to make love to you but I'm..."

He kissed her again. "Don't be afraid love..."

He kissed her, she couldn't think when he kissed her like that. His hands slowly explored her body, he kissed the bruises that the monsters had left behind. He unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her bra.

"You're so beautiful." He kissed the scratches that were on her body. She whimpered. "Am I hurting you?"

"No."

"Do you want me to stop?"

"No...Fillip..."

He trailed kisses down her stomach, he stopped at the waist band of her pants. He looked up at her, her eyes were closed. "Open your eyes and look at me. Do you want me to stop?"

"Love me Fillip. Make me forget."

He trailed kisses back up her stomach to her breasts. He sat her up and unhooked her bra, he cupped them in her breasts in his hand. He took one of her nipples into his mouth and gently sucked it. she arched her back and moaned. He raised up and kissed her, slipping his tongue inside her mouth.

His hands were massaging her breasts while he was kissing her. He rolled off of her and undressed, he pulled off her pants, and gently nudged her legs apart. He entered her an inch at a time. It just about killed him to take it slow, he knew he needed to, he slowly made love to her. She wrapped her legs around his waist. He took one of her nipples in his mouth. She moaned his name and arched his back.

She climaxed, he still went at a slower pace, as he got closer to his own climax he went faster. He felt her stiffen in his arms, for a brief second before she hit a second climax, she wrapped her arms around him and cried out. He moaned her name as his release, he rolled her onto his chest.

"Lass, are you okay."

She choked back her tears. "Yes." He could feel her tears on his chest, he rolled her onto her back.

"Christ love. Did I hurt you?"

"No..." She reached up and touched his face. "It was wonderful." He leaned down and kissed her, pulling her back in his arms again. She got comfortable and fell asleep.

She was awakened by kisses. "Do you have coffee?"

"No..just me."

"Then go away!"

He chuckled in her ear, he kissed her again. "Come on love, it's time to wake up." She sat up in bed and looked at him, wrapping the sheet around her.

"No! I'm going to be fat and lazy!" He laughed at her.

"Let's go! Time to eat!" She leaned forward and kissed him.

"Now you're talking!" She climbed from bed slipping on some clothes and following him down to the kitchen. "I'm starving!"

"Are you now?" He picked her up and kissed her, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He sat her down, she grabbed the counter and put her hand on her stomach. "What is it? Are you okay? The babies?"

She smiled and shook her head. "They moved."
