Harvest of Sin

by Jordan Shay

  “I didn’t want to lie to you when we talked about the furniture store. But, I didn’t know how to tell you what happened. Well...a couple things happened. Mr. Johnny has a video of Derek and me...um….well...in the backroom.” Caleb’s eyes widened even more. “Mr. Johnny confronted me about the video, I denied it. I knew he knew, but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of that conversation. Then...,” I paused as tears welled up in my eyes, “...he put his hands on me. Tried to get up my dress. I hit him, Caleb. Hard. His head bled.”

  Caleb was furious. “He put his hands on you? Bastard!” He stood up and ran his fingers through his hair, pacing back and forth.

  That was the first time I heard Caleb swear. I was happy that Derek wasn’t awake to hear the awfulness of that confession. I’ll have to tell him. But only when he’s better.

  “Caleb?”

  Caleb looks up at me.

  “How are we going to protect Derek? That Mr. Johnny is something evil. He won’t give up. He will kill Derek.” I hesitated. “This is all my fault.” Tears trickled down my cheeks.

  “Not a chance, Anna. There is no way this is your fault.” His eyes bored right into mine.

  Caleb’s head fell into this hands. I realized how much he was still sweating. As he sat there his hands continued to tremble. I wasn’t quite sure if he was shivering from cold, fear, or anger. Or, maybe, just maybe, it was all three. His forearms bulged and I was grateful for how strong he really was. I was so thankful that I had met him, even if he wasn’t going to be my husband. He really would make a hell of a husband for someone one day.

  My eyes fell to Derek’s resting body as he slept. He looked so peaceful, despite the horror he had been though.

  “Caleb?”

  “Yeah?” He answered without even raising his head.

  “Derek and I need to leave town. Can you help us?”

  He hesitated a long time. Then slowly, he raised his head and made eye contact with me. My stomach lurched at his silence.

  “Yeah. I’ll help you. But we should go for tonight. We need to get out of here while it’s dark. Oh, and, Anna?”

  “Yes, Caleb?”

  “You know there is almost no going back after this right? If you try you will either be shunned or banned. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?” I was so lucky to have Caleb as a friend. I knew he would help me.

  ‘I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, Caleb.”

  Chapter Ten

  Somehow the darkness of night provided us the perfect cover. Caleb said we could stay at his cabin, but only through the weekend. That gave us three days.

  We woke up Derek, and he made a conscious effort to get to the buggy. He grunted with every step, and I knew he was still groggy and hurting. I could only hope the pain wasn’t as bad as I imagined it was. I cringed with his every step right along with him.

  I had made a bed of blankets in the buggy, and we stuffed pillows all around him to protect him from the bouncing buggy ride that lay before us. A car ride would have been more comfortable, no doubt, but there was no calling a driver at this hour. Plus, we couldn’t take the chance of someone else knowing what was happening.

  During the ride, I kept as close to Derek’s side as possible. The ride took every bit of an hour, and when we finally arrived I was as grateful as I had ever been for anything. Together, Caleb and I got Derek inside, and took him straight to the bedroom. Within minutes, Derek was again fast asleep.

  I walked back to the living room and saw Caleb making a fire in the fireplace. “You guys will need some heat tonight.” I raised my eyebrows. “Don’t worry. No one will notice the smoke. We are far enough way. Plus, it’s probably like 2am.” He laughed and stood up, wiping his hands off on his pants. There was a strange moment of silence as we stood facing each other. “I’m gonna go. There are some simple groceries in the kitchen. I can bring you more in the morning to get you through the weekend.” He smiled and turned for the door.

  “Caleb, wait!” I ran over to him and threw my arms around him. Then, surprising even myself, I kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you so much. For everything.”

  He blushed and looked me right in the eye. “Anything for you, Anna. I’ll be back tomorrow, probably mid-morning to check on you both.”

  I went back to Derek’s side. I was afraid to lie next to him and hurt him in any way, but my eyes were as heavy as lead. I grabbed a blanket out of the closet and sat in the old wingback chair in the corner of the room. Despite it being hard as bricks, darkness took hold, and I dozed off into a sleepy dreamland. A land where Amish people don’t hurt the English, and where the rules seem to make much more sense.

  The glow of the morning sunshine streamed in the dust covered window, waking me out of my slumber slowly. I glanced at Derek, who was still sleeping. Wandering out to the kitchen, I figured I would boil some water for some coffee.

  I fumbled around in the kitchen I found what I needed. With the water started, I sat down on the dining room chair. There was a chill in the air, and I shuddered. The fire had gone out sometime during the night. Hopefully it would warm up some today.

  As I looked around the cabin, I seemed to have a clearer mind this morning. The events of last night seemed unreal. A dream. A horrible dream.

  But they weren’t. Then it hit me.

  What have I done? What about my family? Abe? What’s going to happen now?

  A million thoughts flooded my mind. Somehow, I remained stoic. There just didn’t seem to be a ‘perfect’ answer to any of this. My lack of emotion seemed odd to me. I must still be in a state of shock.

  As I fixed myself a cup of coffee, I heard a sound.

  “Anna,” It was a scratchy, throaty sound, but I knew Derek was awake. I hurried to his side.

  “Right here, Derek. I’m right here.” I sat on the bed next to him while he woke up. He tried to sit up, but I forced him back down.

  “I feel okay, Anna. Not as bad as I probably look,” he laughed. I smiled at his positivity. His strength. His green eyes sparkling with life again.

  I pulled up the T-Shirt he was wearing and looked for bruising or scars. Wasn’t too bad. Seems his arm got the brunt of it. Even in the shadow of the beating, his hard, six-pack abs rendered me breathless for a second. Before I could stop myself, I ran my finger across his abdomen, and trailed up to his chest.

  “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” He smiled and slowly sat up. I thought I caught a grimace of pain shoot across his face, but before I knew it he had one hand behind my head and his lips pressed to mine. I moaned.

  “For fuck’s sake, Derek, you are hurt.” He ignored me.

  He pulled back long enough to remove a couple of pins from my dress, and open it up, my white bra exposed. He expertly reached around my back, and undid it, letting my breasts fly free. He managed to painfully sit up, moaning a bit from the pain; but determined to sit up and be close to me. My nipples were erect and Derek put his lips to them, caressing them with his tongue and fondling my breasts with his hand, while the other, the stronger one, held him up in bed.

  “Someone is feeling pretty good today,” I groaned with pleasure as he sent shudders through my body every time he ran his tongue over my nipple. I was sure my pussy was getting wet too, and I knew we would be unable to take this any further, both with Derek’s injuries and the fact that Caleb could walk through those doors any minute. “Oh, Derek…” I knew I should stop him. I just couldn’t.

  “I will never get enough of your body, Anna. You are like a soft flower to me. Beautiful, Delicate. Yet, strong at the same time.”

  I pulled his face back to mine and kissed him. My heart pounded. I can honestly say I now know what love feels like. It feels like excitement. Joy. Fireworks. Happiness And sometimes terror & fear, too. But so worth it. Worth every second of it. I kissed him harder.

  “Whoa, Anna. Is someone as horny as I am?” Derek laughed weakly. I could tell he had no strength. The way he said it made me laugh
. “Let me check.” He slid a hand up my dress to panties, already damp from excitement. “Guess so.” He smiled at me. Those luscious lips.

  With his good arm, he slid a couple fingers up under my panties and played with my clit. I was on the verge of an orgasm just from his touch. I moaned. “Oh my God…”

  Just when I thought I would explode in his hands, he moved his fingers slightly and slid one inside of me. “You’re so wet, Anna. I love it.” A second finger found its way inside and before I knew it he was hitting my g-spot. I leaned back a little on the bed to give him better access.

  His fingers moved slow at first, and then sped up. I knew it was coming.

  “Derek, oh my God, Derek, I’m going to cum in your hands…” I tilted my head back and closed my eyes. And it happened. My body erupted. My mind was soaring. Even with my eyes closed, I saw flashes of light. Maybe I’m dying. It was pure joy and pleasure on a level I had never experienced. I can’t believe I waited so long to feel this. But then again, I had just met Derek. Could any other man be capable of this? I fucking doubt it.

  When the world stopped spinning, I opened my eyes. Derek pulled his fingers out and licked them. “You taste so fucking delicious.” Then he collapsed back on the bed and before I could do or say anything else, he had passed out again. Tired with exhaustion from the night prior. Tired from giving me pleasure. Just plain tired.

  As I sat there staring at him, I thought, I didn’t even get the chance to make him cum. I smiled as I thought about what I would do to him when he woke up.

  I wandered into the bathroom to get cleaned up, before Caleb arrived. I realized my pins for my dress were missing, and searched frantically for them for several minutes. Panic had started to set in, and I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or cry. I began to wonder if there were any in the cabin, when I saw them glistening on the floor where they had fallen. Phew.

  My panties were still damp, and I actually debated removing them. It’s not like I had any extra’s with me or anything, but I decided I didn’t care. I took them off and put them under the bathroom sink. As I started to pin my dress back up, I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the bathroom mirror.

  My hair, uncovered by my bonnet, was a hot mess. I tried to use my fingers to straighten it out. Looks like you just got fucked, Anna. I laughed at myself.

  I suppose my face was sort of pretty. My grey-blue eyes matched my light complexion and golden blonde hair. I licked my lips, which were not as luscious as Derek’s, but they were okay. I stood up tall and opened my dress just enough for my large breasts to fall free. I shook them in the mirror and watched them dance. I grabbed them, and they were more than a handful. I guess that’s why Derek likes them so much. Suddenly, A reflection in the mirror made me jump.

  Caleb. Shit.

  He was standing in the doorway, frozen, watching me. I scrambled to close up my dress. My face turned hot with embarrassment. I wanted to yell at him, but I couldn’t find my voice quick enough.

  “I’m so sorry, Anna. I just walked in and didn’t know where you were...I didn’t see anything. I’m sorry.” He stammered the words uncomfortably and then fast as lightning he turned around and walked away.

  I finished pinning my dress back up then I hurried out to the main living area. Caleb was sitting at the dining room table, looking down at his hands.

  “Hey. Sorry. I didn’t hear you come in.” I plopped down in the chair across from him.

  “Yeah, it’s okay.”

  I couldn’t help but notice that he avoided eye contact.

  “How’s Derek?” he asked.

  “He’s good. He’s sleeping.” We sat in silence for a minute or two, neither one of us knowing what to say.

  “Want some coffee?” I stood up.

  “Sure.”

  As I poured us both a cup of coffee, I could almost feel Caleb watching me from behind. There was no doubt I owed Caleb a tremendous amount of gratitude for what he has done for me. For Derek. And I wanted to maintain a friendship with him. I truly did care about him. But, if it’s going to be awkward…I didn’t know how I could handle that.

  I turned around with the coffee and we made brief eye contact. I thought I saw his eyes flutter to my breasts, but I couldn’t say for sure. I was going to pretend it didn’t happen.

  “Did you hear anything this morning, Caleb? About what happened?” I asked.

  He shook his head.

  “No. But your father showed up at my door this morning.”

  He took a sip of coffee. My stomach lurched and I almost spilled my coffee as my hands started to shake.

  “What?”

  “My uncle answered and told him he didn’t know where I was. I’m sorry Anna, I panicked and begged my uncle to lie. I didn’t know what to tell your father. I still don’t know.” He stood up and started pacing. “What’s your plan, Anna? The whole town will be looking for you very shortly. If they aren’t already.”

  My body, frozen in terror, was jolted out its trance at the sound of Derek’s voice from the bedroom.

  “Anna,” He tried to be loud, but he still wasn’t strong enough. I ran towards the bedroom.

  “I’m here,” I headed over to his bedside. Flashbacks of earlier that morning flooded my brain. I wonder if his fingers smell like my pussy. Probably not...he licked them clean.

  “There’s my beautiful Amish princess,” Derek’s eyes were barely open but he grinned from ear to ear. “Why don’t you show those enormous…” He stopped just in time. “Oh, hi Caleb.” He started laughing. I was mortified and looked at the ground. Especially after Caleb walking in on me just a little while ago. Of course, Derek didn’t know that.

  “How are you feeling Derek? I should check on your stitches,” He took a few steps towards Derek and nodded at me. “Why don’t you wait outside, Anna. I can handle this part.”

  Because I trusted Caleb, and hated seeing Derek in pain, I obliged. I went and grabbed my cup of coffee off the table and went to the front porch. A swift wind caught my dress outside, and I quickly remembered my panties under the bathroom sink. I laughed at myself. Not such a good Amish girl anymore, are you Anna?

  The sun was shining, although the autumn air was a bit chilly. The leaves had started to turn and the woods looked beautiful. Funny how they look the most pretty right before they die. A breeze graced through the woods again, and I watched a red leaf dance to the ground.

  A few minutes went by and I thought I’d better go check in on Caleb, see if he needed anything. If he calls for me, I won’t hear him outside.

  Once inside, I set my coffee down and started for the bedroom. Their conversation stopped me dead in my tracks.

  “Look Derek. I know you love her. And I know she loves you. But do you know what will happen? Do you really know? You haven’t known each other that long, and now she is planning on leaving her family for you. If she does that, she will be shunned and won’t be able to see them ever again. Do you really want to take that away from her?”

  “I respect your concerns, Caleb. I even appreciate that you are looking out for her. But it’s Anna decision.”

  “She will never be able to see her little brother again. You would be taking her from everything she knows. Everything she loves. And, what if you get tired of playing “little Amish princess” with her? What then? Where does that leave Anna?”

  I was starting to get angry. How dare Caleb say that! He had some fucking nerve.

  “For one thing, I am not playing ‘little Amish princess’. I actually do love her. For another, it really isn’t your business it is? If fact, I think you have known her for a shorter time than I have, right?”

  “Damnit Derek. Don’t you get it? You and her will have to leave town and you will not be welcome back. Ever. Your kids will never know their mother’s family.”

  “Yeah, Caleb. Thanks. I think the stitches in my arm prove how serious the Amish are about their so-called traditions. And who said anything about kids anyway?”

  Does Derek
not want kids? Or does he just not want to talk about it with Caleb?

  “You’re making one huge fucking mistake, Derek. And you are fucking up a girl’s, no, a woman’s, life. Your life won’t change a bit. Only Anna’s.” I started to hear noises, as if things were being slammed down. It was getting heated in there.

  “It’s Anna decision. Not mine. And certainly not yours. I appreciate your help with my arm, and with getting Anna and I together, but you are out of line with this one, Caleb.”

  “Seriously. Break it off with her. If you do it now, she can still go back to her family and church, and repent for her sins. She may be shunned for a week or so, but they will take her back. There’s still time. Much longer though, and it won’t be an option for her.” Caleb’s voice was pleading.
