“Which she turned around and snorted. Wow, your case for getting custody just gets better and better.”
“I was an idiot, okay? The way she said it, if I didn’t go along with her plan she would start telling people it wasn’t consensual, or some other story. And Whit was crazy enough to do it, too, so I figured I would just pay her the money and she would be happy.”
“And you never thought about Penelope again?” She bit out.
“Of course I did. I might be an asshole, but it killed me thinking that my kid was going to grow up never knowing who I was. Or worse yet, having Whitney as her mother.” Dante cut his eyes away from her, rubbing the back of his neck. When he spoke again his voice was weary, low. “I tried to get in touch with Whit a few times over the years but she always turned me down. Told me if I wasn’t calling about money then don’t call.” He turned back to her and Jacqueline saw the hurt in his eyes. “I know why Whit thought I would make a terrible parent, but why do you?”
Looking into his stormy blue eyes she softened, the fight draining from her. “It’s not that I think you would be a bad dad, I just think that Penny needs stability. She needs the chance at a normal life.” Jacqueline inhaled a shaky breath. “She needs to not become her mother.”
Jacqueline fought back the tears that threatened to spill, the result of her anger, her guilt. She turned her back to him, pacing into the kitchen.
She didn’t hear him follow her until his voice rumbled from behind her. “That’s all I want for her too.”
She turned to face him and he caught her in his arms. She looked up to him, gathering her courage to trudge on. “I tried to help Whitney and I failed. I can’t fail Penny. I don’t think I could bear to see her take the same path as Whitney.”
This time the tears fell onto her cheeks and she cast her eyes down. Dante took her head in his hands and turned it up again. He pressed a kiss to each stream on her cheek, far gentler than she could imagine. The urge to let herself go with him was great, but she held on to the last remaining shreds of dignity she had.
“Whitney kept her from me for 7 years. I can’t lose her again.”
“I don’t want to keep her from you, I just want to keep her safe.”
“Ditto.” Dante’s lips brushed against hers, a flutter of a kiss that made her breath hitch and chased away the sadness, replacing it with an ache of desire.
“If we both want the same thing for her how do we choose?” The touch of his fingers along her ribcage sent a shiver through her, which culminated low in her belly.
“We don’t.”
“What do you mean?” Kisses peppered her jaw until he reached her earlobe making it difficult for Jacqueline to stay focused on their conversation.
“We share.” Taking her earlobe between his lips, he sucked, then released it.
“What?”
“You said it yourself, we’re both her family, we both want the same things for her. Why fight about it?”
His hands worked their way up her ribs until they were on her breasts, a gentle caress. She arched into his touch, her body remembering vividly his hands on her bare flesh. The wetness between her legs was evidence enough. Her mind tried to discern what he was talking about, but his hands on her body made it hard for her to think straight.
Just as Jacqueline was moving into his touch he grabbed onto her and turned her around, facing the island. His large body pushed against her and she reached out and gripped her hand onto the cool granite. Dante bent his body over hers, his hands on her breasts again, tugging and tearing at the front of her dress, exposing her sensitive skin to his hands. The sudden switch in him surprised her, but it turned her on even more. She liked that he wasn’t afraid to take what he wanted, and she liked that he wanted her.
His hips pressed into her and she could feel his erection on her. Jacqueline gathered her courage and pushed back into him, loving the way he felt against her. She was rewarded with his greedy hands tugging her nipple with a startling accuracy. She reveled in the burn, in the pleasure that washed over her. A low moan escaped her lips.
In a few quick movements, Jacqueline’s dress was torn roughly from her and it fluttered to the floor. She heard the sound of denim being pulled down, and when Dante stepped back behind her she could feel the heat from his body and the silky skin of his cock against her. It seemed as though that was the only part of him that was smooth and Jacqueline wanted to touch it like she had the last time. She wanted to feel the rigid member in her hands and know that she could bring a man like this to the brink of pleasure, then take him over the edge.
She turned around to face him, Dante quirking an eyebrow in surprise. Being faced with him she felt more nervous than she had a moment ago, but as her gaze moved down to his thick erection jutting out, her nerves were easily forgotten. Her small hand reached out and fisted him, gently at first, learning him. She watched his face as her hand moved over him, watched how she could affect him. Her movements became bolder, more aggressive, until his eyes slipped closed and his hips thrust into her motions.
Bolstered, Jacqueline bent her body down and tentatively licked the tip of his cock. His eyes flew open in surprise, his hands moving to her head. She moved her hands to the base of him, then slowly took him into her mouth. A low groan sounded from above her, but before she could continue Dante pulled her up.
Her eyes widened in alarm and she looked at him.
“Babe if you keep doing that I’m going to come, and I don’t want to do that until I’m buried in you.”
Her body ignited with his words, eager as he was to feel him moving inside her again. She turned back around to the face the counter, eager for him, only to hear a soft chuckle from behind her. She looked over her shoulder to him to see him smiling.
“Come on.” He said, holding out his hand. She took it and he led the way down the hallway to her bedroom. Dante guided her onto the bed and he followed her.
Keeping his body close to her, Dante rubbed the head of his cock along her seam, grunting at the wetness he found there. The tip of him entered her a couple inches, then pulled out. He repeated it that pattern until she was writhing with need under him. She let out a growl of frustration and Dante smiled, relenting. This time he pushed into her and buried himself to the hilt. She grabbed onto his shoulders at the sensation, at the tremors that ripped through her. He pumped into her with no prelude, a hard rhythm that left her breathless.
Her lips sought out his and they met with a passion that was consuming. His merciless pace gained in intensity and Jacqueline brought up her legs around him, opening herself up to him. His eyes watched her face and this time she wasn’t nervous. This time she wanted to let go in front of him, for him to see what he did to her. The tension in her sex tightened as she neared release, the friction of him inside her was driving her to the edge.
Her fingers dug into his shoulders, holding onto him as the savage rush consumed her. That ever present tension in her body came undone. Above her Dante’s primal sounds told her that he too was nearing climax. She watched through the haze of her own release as his features became rigid and his movements became frantic. A groan of pleasure echoed throughout the room.
Dante stilled above, looking down at her face. He smiled broadly, something she had never seen him do before. He rolled off of her and pulled her close to him.
“I love watching you let go.” He said, breathless. His smile was still in place.
“I don’t know what it is but you bring out a side of me I didn’t even know I had. I’ve never had the desire to give a man head before today.” She said with a smile, inspecting the small nail marks on his shoulder.
“See? I knew we would make a good team for Penny.”
She propped herself up on his chest to look at him wholly. “You can’t be serious about trying to parent together.”
“Sure I am. Why not?”
“Because we hardly know each other.”
“I think I’m getting to know you pretty well.”
He said, his fingers trailing down her back.
“You know what I mean.” She playfully slapped his chest, then settled back against him. “You’re a hard core rocker and I’m, well, just a regular person.”
“I think that’s what makes this idea great. You’re calm and nurturing where I’m not.”
“I suppose. And you’re confident and bold, and I’m not either of those things.” Jacqueline laid on him, thinking, tracing the dragon tattoo the covered most of his chest, and basking in how good it felt in his arms. After a moment she said to him, “This is a crazy idea, you know that right?”
“The craziest.”
“We need to make sure we take things slowly. Gradually.”
Dante laughed. A low rumbling sound that had her blood start racing again. “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but we don’t do ‘slow’ very well.”
Smiling, she swung her leg over his hips and straddled him. Pinning his arms above him, she trailed kisses along his jaw, letting herself go once more.
“Well in that case we should just fuck it and do it our own way.”
“That’s my girl. We’re already a family now. Blood has nothing to do with it.”

THE END
Fallen Past
Nick and Kelly were your typical high school romance. They had gone to the same elementary school and were always together and then once they got to high school they came into their own sexuality and decided that there was no one better to date than the other. So, four years passed and they became the talk of the school.
By the time senior year rolled around and people were planning for prom, there was no question in anyone’s mind that they were going to take King and Queen. The school was right and Nick and Kelly both won the King and Queen respectively.
However, that wasn’t the only thing they were excited for. After waiting until prom night, they had decided to be as cliché as possible and to have sex that evening. So, as the evening wrapped up, the two made their way back to Nick’s house where they had it all planned out.
“Alright, so, you stay in the car for now and I’ll make sure my parents are asleep.” Kelly nodded in agreement as the two made their way back in his beaten up, old car. “Once I know that they’re asleep then I’ll come back out and get you, cool?” Nick looked over at her as he drove. She agreed, but he couldn’t help but continue to look at her every few seconds. He would glance at her and catch her eye and after a moment she giggled and asked him what he was doing.
“I’m sorry, but you’re really beautiful tonight. I mean that.” And he wasn’t wrong. Kelly was always beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls in their town. She was always a sporty girl who wouldn’t dress up just in case there might be a chance to do something fun. Her hair could almost always be found in a messy bun and she had a natural beauty that didn’t require makeup. Her sisters were always much more involved in makeup and fashion than she was but she didn’t have time for it.
Tonight though she had let her sisters work their magic on her and made her more stunning than ever before. Her hair was curled into long ringlets that seemed to bounce and levitate around her shoulders as she walked. They hadn’t gone overboard with her makeup and stayed very tasteful. She had been thankful for that, and Nick had taken notice. Which she also liked.
“Well, I’ll make sure to tell my sisters you said so,” she said laughing. She reached across the center console of the car and rested her hand on his leg. “You don’t look too bad yourself.” Kelly teased him constantly about his appearance. He was the kind of guy that couldn’t grow facial hair even if he wanted to, but there was no reason because even at eighteen, he had a perfectly chiseled jawline. She had also never seen his hair messy, it always appeared perfectly quaffed, regardless of the situation.
Nick was the guy that would grow up and become a politician. He was incredibly friendly with everyone and had never met a person he couldn’t charm. Whether it was with his boyish charm that he would turn on for older women and teachers, or the gruff athlete that he could turn on with every one of his friends. He knew his way around a person, and was going places.
So, as they drove along, it was obvious that both of them were excited and nervous for what was going to happen and both felt like they had a lot to talk about. Kelly had been accepted into a prestigious nursing school in a nearby town and Nick was attending a Pre-Law program at another college states away. Both had agreed when they were choosing schools to not let the other be a distraction, but they were now realizing that there was more to discuss than that.
They had all summer to discuss it though, and knew that they had more important things to handle that night. Their plan fell into action when Nick pulled into the driveway and creeped up to the door, searching for lights on in the house. When he was satisfied, he motioned for Kelly to move around to the backyard.
Kelly quietly climbed out of the car and grabbed her change of clothes from the back seat, making sure to not make too much noise. As she rounded the corner of the house she heard Nick open the door and walk inside, calling that he was home to his parents. She sneaked around the house to the back door where there were steps leading down to the basement and she waited.
Nick had walked into the house and quickly searched the ground floor for anyone, but only heard a shout from his dad that they would talk in the morning. Nick quietly pumped his fist because he knew they had gotten away with it and began walking down the stairs into the basement.
Kelly had been waiting for a few moments when she heard the muffled TV from inside the basement turn on and a few seconds later the door creaked open slowly and Nick popped his head out, looking for her. He ushered her inside and closed the door behind her after looking around outside after she walked in.
She tossed her backpack onto the couch and Nick walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She let her head fall back onto his shoulder and they swayed to the music that was playing on the television. After a moment of this, she spun around in his arms so that she was facing him and kissed him deeply.
They stood like this for a moment, connected at the mouth, his arms now gripping her waist firmly until she pulled away and led him to the couch where she pushed him down so that he was sitting. He settled into his seat and expected her to follow, but instead she placed one leg up on the couch next to him and pulled back her dress slowly revealing a garter belt attached to her thigh high lace topped stockings.
Nick’s mouth dropped wide open as she began to work the few fasteners on the back of her dress and unzipped it, letting the dress fall to the floor. Kelly stood there like a Victoria's Secret model and stared at Nick in enjoyment. He stumbled over his words, but eventually got them out.
“Was this your sisters’ work too?” She laughed and took a step toward him, ready to mount him on the couch.
“Oh no, this was all me, babe.”

Kelly walked a few more steps toward him and leaned down and began to unfasten the hooks and zipper on his pants. Nick had his hands all over her body as she finally got them undone and pulled them off of him. She tossed them into a heap with her dress and watched as he began to unbutton his shirt and took off his jacket. She waited and as he finished he tossed the shirt and jacket into the same pile.
So, Kelly kneeled down in front of him and removed his boxers. His dick was already hard by the time she pulled them off and went to work right away. With one hand she began to stroke the shaft of his cock and bent down lower to tickle Nick’s balls with her tongue. She flicked and tongued them, sucking on them gently. She smiled in enjoyment as she listened to him moaning. After a moment of teasing him she stopped sucking his balls and moved to his head.
She licked the tip of his dick a few times until it was nice and wet and then proceeded to put it in her mouth. Nick’s head fell back onto the couch and he moaned louder and louder. With his dick in her mouth, Kelly looked up at him and allowed her hands to drift up his legs and her fi
ngers began to tickle and scratch his thighs.
Nick looked down at her as she bobbed up and down on his dick and he reached down and pulled her hair up so that he was holding it in a ponytail behind her head. He shifted a bit in his seat so that he had more room to move and, while holding her hair back with one hand and her throat in the other he began to fuck her mouth.
Kelly stuck out her tongue so that there was more room and gagged slightly as he held her still. She felt his throbbing cock in the back of her throat and felt herself getting wet. She and Nick always had an adventurous sex life and this was something that they both got off on. So, Nick continued to thrust harder and harder, moaning with each movement.
After a moment she pressed off on his legs and he released her. She pulled away and took a deep breath and looked up at him. He had a big smile plastered on his face as she stared at him and she yelped slightly when he jumped up from the couch. Nick lifted her off her feet and placed her on the couch where he had been sitting.
