I slowly wake and feel my muscles protest a little, not surprised after sleeping on the floor all night. I look at the face of the man I love still fast asleep and grin. I was so worried about him last night. Everyone tried to keep me busy by distracting me, but nothing worked. I just ended up going into the library and playing every song at least twice in the books he bought me. When I finally heard his soft voice and saw him smiling down at me, all the fear and worry left. He begins to stir so I crane my neck and begin to kiss him. His arms circle around me and pull me against his chest.
"Good morning my love," he says with sleep still in his voice.
"Good morning to you my love." Our lips lock once more and I feel another wave of relief and calm rush through me. His tongue slides along the rim of my lips. I open my mouth and his tongue slips into my mouth, roaming every inch.
"We're still here you know," comes the amused voice of Elliot. We pull away breathless and lean up a little. Standing in the kitchen is everyone, looking straight at us. Floor, can you swallow us please, I think to myself. Christian helps me off the floor and we enjoy breakfast with the family. He tells us how last night unfolded. It's a good thing they found the moving truck with women inside. He tells us how everyone will be getting help and my love for him grows. I love how he is so compassionate to help others.
"Well I'll be at the jail talking to the men tomorrow to show them the evidence and to maybe get confessions out of at least some of them. This will be a long trial when we go to court," Carrick tells us.
After everyone leaves and Christian and I get showered and dressed we relax and read in the library. I'm excited about going back to work Monday and starting classes too. It's well into the afternoon when Jason comes into the library.
"We've been keeping tabs on Belford and Marist," he tells us looking solemn. "We just got news that they both died from overdosing last night." My eyes practically pop out of my head as Christian and I lean up from the couch. "They both died from a heroin overdose. However, Belford left a note Ana."
"What did it say?"
"He was truly sorry for what he did to you. He also had a new will written up, giving all of his money to Coping Together. We don't think it was suicide. It truly looks like it was just accidental overdosing." I sit there in shock from the news. Christian puts his hand on my shoulder and pulls me a little closer to him.
"Thanks for letting us know Jason," Christian says softly. Jason leaves us but I'm still shocked. "Are you alright baby?"
"I'm just shocked they died. I mean I would have just been happy never seeing them again for the rest of my life, but now that they're gone, I don't have to worry about them coming back to hurt you or our family." I finally focus on him and see he's smiling. "What?"
"I love hearing you call everyone 'our family' because that's what it is, our family." My smile matches his as our lips collide. I turn more into him and pull him closer to me. I slide into his lap as our tongue dance for dominance. After a few moments of making out, I feel his erection poke my clothed core and gasp from the sensation. I feel my face flush and draw back and gaze into his almost black eyes.
"I love you Christian."
"I love you Ana." Our lips meet once more in a slow, steady pace, feeling like the first kiss again.
Once we're done with dinner, Jason's phone goes off.
"He's here. I'll go show him up," he says before getting up from the table and descending in the elevator.
"Who's here Christian," Gail asks. I'm confused as well.
"Someone who I met last night. He works with the FBI and I thought it would be best if you met him Ana." We clear away the table just as the elevator arrives. Out with Jason steps a man with light blonde hair, a mustache, and light brown eyes. He looks at me with slight hesitation. "Nice to see you once again Robert. Ana, this is Corporal Robert Wilks, your uncle." My eyebrows probably shoot to my hairline as I look in shock at this man.
"Ana, I'm so sorry I've haven't been in touch with you over the years. I was younger than Carla by five years. When we learned she was getting married, we were thrilled. We all loved Raymond and knew he would take care of her. I only met him that once because then I was overseas serving in the war in the Middle East. I learned about her death and of your birth through our parents. I knew the minute I got the news I should be discharged or stationed over here to help Raymond raise you. However, I wasn't able to leave. My parents, your grandparents died some years later. I never knew what happened to you until I heard about Raymond dying in the car crash. I never heard anything about you so I thought you died in the car alongside him. I swear to you Ana, if I had known, I would have abandoned the Army and would have taken care of you myself. I'm so sorry if you went through any pain during your childhood and I'm so sorry you were alone when you needed family the most. I hope you can forgive me." I walk up to him slowly and draw him in for a hug while the tears slowly go down my face.
"I have an uncle. I'm so happy." He embraces me back as the tears of joy continue falling.
"You don't hate me? You don't despise the fact I never came to see you or comfort you when your father died?"
"I could never hate you. There are things in life we can't change, no matter how hard we try. My life had to be the way it was so I could find true happiness in the end by meeting the man I love with every fiber in my body. And what better news to learn than having an uncle."
"You have cousins too." I lead him over to the couch and we look at the pictures on his phone of his growing children, two daughters and a son along with his wife. We sit and I listen to him as he tells me stories of him and my mother growing up. When he asked who took care of me after Dad died, I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth. It would hurt him so I tell him a family friend cared for me. Before long he has to leave. I give him my phone number and I get his and we promise to keep in touch since he's only an hour away. "I wanted you to have this too so you could have something from the Wilks side." He holds out a photo for me. It's a picture of him along with Mom and my grandparents. "It's right before I shipped out."
"I love it so much. Thank you Robert."
"You're welcome Ana. It was nice to finally meet you." We see him off before I head into Christian's arms.
"You're the best boyfriend a woman could ever ask for."
"And you're the best girlfriend that any man would be lucky to have."
It's been a week since everything with the sex trafficking market was shutdown. I'm taking online classes and went back to work. Everyone was so happy I could speak again, Jack especially. Christian and I still haven't had sex, but he respects the fact I'm still nervous about being seen naked and being touched intimately so we've just stuck to making out. Tonight Jason, Gail, Luke, Christian, and I are heading over to Grace and Carrick's house. Carrick has news regarding the men who ran the sex slave market. We pull up into their driveway and park before heading inside. We embrace with everyone before gathering in their living room to hear what Carrick has to say.
"Well after a week of negotiations and deal after deal, we, and I mean the men too, have come to an agreement," he states. I grab Christian's hand and hold it close to me. "They confessed to everything and in exchange they will be housed in a more, 'cushy' prison. For their confessions, the deal was they would all serve one year for kidnap and two for rape."
"What the fuck," Christian shouts.
"That's batshit crazy," Elliot yells next.
"That's fucking bullshit," Mia screeches.
"Children! Watch your mouths and sit down. Your father isn't done yet," Grace scolds.
"Thank you Grace. As I was saying before I was interrupted, they will serve one year for kidnap and two for rape for every woman. So if they captured a total of 85 women and they raped a total of 63 women and we times 63 by 2 and add 85, well they won't be getting out anytime soon. They will also help us find and shut down any other sex trafficking markets in the United States. The women who were sold before were found. None have been murdered. Some had unfortunately been raped, but their rapists will be held accountable. The men's assets have been liquidated and that money, along with the money they got from their 'business' will go to the victims. So Ana, what would you like to do with your $130,000?" We all cheer and hug once more. After we have calmed down everyone looks to me for my answer about the money.
"I would like to donate it to the homeless shelters in Seattle."
"Very well then Ana."
"We also have important news," Kate says. "We learned this afternoon we're pregnant." Everyone shouts and hugs Kate and Elliot. This day has been so wonderful I don't want it to end. However after we all talk and dish out more hugs, we all go our separate ways. I collapse onto the bed still reeling from the news Carrick told us. Christian crawls in next to me.
"I'm so happy for you Ana. And for the women who will be safe now."
"Me too Christian." Our lips lock in a gentle kiss at first but soon it builds and I feel my blood rushing through my veins. We pull away needing air and lean our foreheads together.
"So do you want to cuddle or stay up and read for a little bit?"
"I want to work on my touch therapy, please."
"Okay where would you like for me to touch you baby?" I turn away from him and remove my shirt, exposing my bareback. I lie back on the bed face down and turn to look into his eyes.
"Can you touch my back?"
"Certainly Ana." He moves so he's on his knees. I watch as he rubs his hands together and brings them down on my back. He rubs in circles and I close my eyes as the feeling of his hands against my skin runs through me like a current. He slowly rubs my back in patterns and then slides up my arms to repeat the process. When he moves back onto my back, he leaves kisses in places of his hands going down my back and over my arms. I release a moan and arch my back into his touch. He grins against my skin as I begin to pant. "Where would you like me to touch you next baby?"
"My…legs," I sigh. I raise my hips so he can take off my pajama bottoms, leaving my underwear in place. He starts at the arches of my feet and massages them. He then moves up to my ankles and my calves. When he reaches my thighs, my legs close on instinct but feeling his warm, strong hands touching me mixed with his soft lips kissing my flesh makes my legs open once again. He rubs and kisses every inch of the backs of my legs. My core is throbbing and I know I'm wet.
"Now where would you like me to touch you Anastasia?"
"God, anywhere, everywhere!" I flip over and see his eyes expand as he sees my bare chest. I feel my cheeks redden as I see his bulge in his pajama pants getting bigger. "Make love to me Christian."
"Are you sure Ana?"
"More than anything. I want you. I crave you." He seeks my lips and soon our tongues are battling once more. He pulls back and looks into my eyes.
"Are you still on birth control?" My cheeks brighten again. "I found it one time looking for my deodorant."
"Yes I'm still on it." He cradles my face and softly kisses me. His hands slide from my face down my arms and sides and back up before he cups my breasts. I break away and gasp from the feeling. He leans down and peppers my left breast with kisses on all sides before doing the same to the right. With his forefinger and thumb, he gingerly rolls my nipple causing it to become erect. He licks the other one and I gasp again. He brings it into his mouth and begins to suck on it. My hands go into his luscious hair and we both moan from the sensations we're receiving. After switching breasts, kissing it and sucking on it while I writhe beneath him, he moves down and kisses my stomach. He kisses down my right leg before moving over to my left. After that he removes his pajama pants and is left in his underwear. I see his bulge and it looks huge.
"Lift your hips baby." I do and feel his hands slide under the brim of my underwear and pull it down my legs. He flings it somewhere and looks down at me. "Oh you're so beautiful Ana. God I love you."
"I love you too." He raises my legs and shuffles on the bed. He leans down and is right at my exposed pussy. I try to close my legs but he holds them apart.
"Are you okay baby? We can stop right now if you're not ready."
"I'm fine, just embarrassed with you seeing me down there."
"Don't be embarrassed baby. You're truly beautiful." I feel his fingers part my lips and I arch my bottom into his touch. "Oh God you're so wet." He rubs my clit with his thumb while inserting two fingers into me. My whole body arches off the bed as his tongue replaces his thumb. My hands go down into his hair as I begin to moan, feeling the wonderful sensation he's causing me to have.
"Oh Christian," I cry as I feel my orgasm coming. He adds another finger and licks quicker, causing me to cum hard but loving the feeling. As I come down from my high, he removes his briefs. I look up at him through hazy eyes. I spy his erection and blush harder. He's surly bigger than average size, so will he fit?
"Are you sure about this Ana? Again we can stop right now."
"My body wants you Christian. I want you." He moves up between my legs and kisses me once again before I feel his dick rubbing my wet core. I moan as he slides it in. It pinches but he stops before long.
"I'm so sorry Ana." He moves his hips a little quicker and the pinching worsens as he fills me completely. I throw my head back to stop the tears from coming as I grip his biceps. He leans up and kisses my eyes. Within a second the pain stops and now it feels fine. He thrusts into me a little faster as while we kiss. Soon I pull back to release my moans. He kisses along my neck and my hands go down his chest to feel his hard muscles. They go around and feel his strong back muscles and his firm butt. He groans when I touch it and he thrusts harder into me. Oh I loved that!
"Oh Christian! Harder please!" My moans mix with his groans and pants to fill the room. His hands go down my sides and grip my hips to thrust into my harder and faster. "Christian, I'm cumming!" I feel myself close around him. He thrusts deeper into me causing me to have another orgasm while he finds his release.
"Oh God Ana," he calls while he squirts his hot liquid into me. We collapse, both panting trying to catch our breaths. He pulls me against his chest and I throw my arms around him. "How was that baby?"
"Only you. Only you, the man I was waiting for, the man who could fill my life with happiness and love, could every make me feel the way you just did. That was phenomenal!" He chuckles as my eyes close "I love you."
"I love you too Ana."
