“He’s not mine daddy. He’s a good friend, and I really want to thank him for what he did last night. I’m not sure what would’ve happened if Adam had gotten the chance to drive off with me.”
“Lucky us, we don’t have to find out. Now go get a shower and get some proper clothes on, I’ll be waiting by the car when you’re ready.”
***
Getting out of the car, Emily noticed the police car holding outside Janus’ office. Glancing back at her father, he simply waved at her before driving off. Stepping into the office, the receptionist glared at her before pushing a button on the intercom.
“Mr. Hansen, she’s here.” Glaring at Emily once again, the receptionist busied herself with paperwork. A door was opened further down the hall and she could hear Janus’ voice.
“Come on in Ems.” Without hesitation, Emily walked over to the open door and poked her head in. Suddenly Janus’ office seemed much smaller compared to yesterday. Two police officers were standing in there, both looking up at her as she entered the room and closed the door after her. One of the officers stepped over to her, hand stretched out.
“Mrs. Hallberg, I presume?” Wincing at the mention of her married name, Emily took the officers hand and shook it.
“I would prefer it if you would call me Emily, or Miss Jensen, my maiden name. As I’m sure you already know, I have filed for a divorce.” The officer nodded, he did know, he was just testing the waters.
“Well, Emily. Could you please tell us what happened yesterday?”
“Officer Larsen, is this really necessary? You’ve already got the statement from everyone else on the crime scene, do you need to burden my client with further pain?”
“It’s all right Janus. I can handle it.” So she told the officers what had happened and why she was filing for a divorce.
“I’m not supposed to tell you this ma’am, but we’re still holding him. Apparently he’s wanted in Copenhagen for fraud. They’re sending someone down to pick him up.”
“What?” The surprise knocked the wind out of her. Blinking Emily tried to make head and tales out of it, but draws empty. “What? How? Why?”
“We don’t know miss. But it’s safe to say he’s going to jail for a long time. Now just to be sure in case he gets out before time, would you like to get a restraining order on him?”
Looking up at the officer from where she sat on the chair, Emily felt the world come back into focus. Blinking a few times, she heard the word restraining order, and suddenly it all made sense.
“I can get a restraining order?” Janus moved closer to Emily and crouched next to her. Touching her knee to make contact, he explained.
“Yes, you can. With everything that happened, and all the proof you have, coupled with the events yesterday I don’t know one judge who wouldn’t grant it to you. That said, he can still come to you, but he’s not allowed and the police have to respond immediately if he does and someone calls it in.”
“Then let’s file for it. Can’t hurt with the way he acted yesterday.”
“I thought you might feel that way, so I took the liberty to fill out the paperwork, all you have to do is sign.” Putting the paper down in front of her, Janus handed her a pen and after a quick read-through, Emily signed it.
“Now was there anything else you needed from us, officers? Otherwise I need to have a word with my client about her divorce.”
Both officers assured them that they had all they needed and said their goodbyes. As the door closed behind them, Emily suddenly got nervous. Before she knew it, Janus was in front of her, crouching again.
“How are you feeling?” A small laughter escaped her before she looked up at his face and just as quick the smile vanished. With trembling fingers, Emily reached up to gingerly touch his swollen eye. When he winced a little, she retracted her hand immediately.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Taking her hand in his, Janus gave her a smile.
“It looks worse than what it is. It will heal soon enough. Just a black eye.” He guided her hand back to his cheek, but before releasing it, he turned his face against her palm and gave her a small kiss. Her pulse quickened at the sweetness, the tenderness in his gesture, and she could feel her walls crumble.
“I came because I wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday. I don’t know what would’ve happened if.” A shiver went through Emily’s body at the mere thought of what her husband would have done.
“Hey, none of that Ems. We’re all here now. We won’t let anything happen to you.” Cupping her face in his large hands, he gently stroked her cheeks with his thumbs. Looking into his eyes, Emily could feel how easily she could get lost in them. Frankly, if he smiled at her, she was lost. Had always been. Without warning, Janus leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss. It was a sweet gently kiss, a mere taste, and it leaved her craving more. When he nibbled at her bottom lip, she had to stop the moan that was close to escaping her. Opening her eyes when the kiss ended, Janus leaned his forehead against hers.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have. Not with everything that is happening to you -” Before he could protest anymore, Emily leaned in and kissed him right back. Wrapping her arms around his neck she leaned in further. Janus didn’t need any further encouragement and pulled her down into his lap. Having her flush against him, awakened dormant feelings long buried. Licking her upper lip, and nibbling at her bottom one, gave him the award he was looking for; her moan. As soon as she opened her mouth, he slipped his tongue in, exploring her. One of his hands tangled in her curls at her neck, while the other started to explore the rest of her body. Finding his way under her shirt, he slipped his hand up her ribcage toward her breast, when a pained sound escaped her. Freezing in his tracks, he leaned back, not sure what just happened.
“Sorry, it’s just…” Gently removing his hand from her ribcage, Emily pulled her shirt down. “It still hurts a bit.” Furrowing his brow, Janus tried to raise the shirt to take a look, but when Emily pulled it down again, he looked up at her.
“I won’t hurt you Ems. I just want to take a look. That’s all.” Shoulders sagging, she let her arms fall to the side, allowing him to lift the shirt and look. A small gasp escaped him when he saw the green and yellow bruising on her porcelain skin. Gently, he put his hand over some of the marks, noticing how they resembled a hand. Anger burned through his veins, and Janus cursed long and hard, making Emily jump.
“I’m sorry Ems, I didn’t mean to frighten you.” Removing his hand, he pulled her gently into a hug. “I just can’t imagine why someone would hurt you. Ever. You’re absolutely perfect, and to do this -” Shaking his head, Janus can’t even finish the sentence. A weak smile played on Emily’s lips.
“You have no idea how much that warms my heart.” Leaning in, she gave him a short and sweet kiss on the lips. “Thank you. For everything.”
“Come on, it’s almost lunch time. Let me buy you something to eat.”
“No really, you don’t have to.” Glaring at her while helping her up, Janus didn’t take no for an answer.
“Ems, I swear, if you use the word fine, I’ll drag you over the knee and spank you.” She could tell it was a joke, but the image somehow got stuck with her and a slight blush crept up her cheeks. “Come on, let’s grab some lunch before I decide that the only thing I want to have is dessert.” The way his voice lowered at the last words, made her body shiver in a good way, her nipples hardened and a fire started in her core. Without a word, Emily turned around and almost ran from the office, Janus right behind her.
“The last she heard before the doors closed behind her, was Janus shouting over his shoulder at the receptionist that he’d going out for lunch. Taking a deep breath to calm her raging emotions, Emily closed her eyes and tilted her head up toward the sun, enjoying the warmth it spread.
A slight touch at her elbow brought her back to reality, Janus was smiling at her. “Ready to go?”
***
A few days later, Emily came b
ack home after another day out in the city that was close to their hometown. With a sigh she let herself into her parents home. Kicking off her shoes, she fantasized about a hot shower and a warm meal. Her parents had taken a few days off from work and left for Germany so she had the house all to herself. She needed it. With everything she had planned and the life she was trying to build back up for herself, she needed some quiet. Trudging up the stairs, pulling off her clothes on the way, the bathroom beckoned her to get that promised shower. Before reaching her destination, there was a knock on the door.
Grumbling under her breath, Emily turned around and ran down the stairs. Ripping the door open, she growled at whomever was outside.
“You better have a freaking damn good excuse for interrupting.” Her rant stopped short when she saw who was on the other side of the door. Twinkling dark blue eyes meet hers, and a smile to die for accompanied it. Drawing in a breath, Emily suddenly realized what she was wearing – or more accurately what she wasn’t wearing. A blush crept up her cheeks. Janus’ grin grew wider and his smile turned more mischievous.
“Well, this was a pleasant surprise. Had I known you would greet me dressed like that, I would’ve come by sooner.” Emily felt like she was on fire, in a multitude of ways.
“I was on my way to the shower, I just came home from the city.” Stepping inside, Janus leaned closer to Emily and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Holding up his hand, he showed what he brought with him. “Chinese! I’m so darn hungry, you have no idea!!” Laughter escaped Emily, her joy not containable. Janus smiled at her, enjoying to see her happy again.
“Thought you might be hungry. Why don’t you jump into the shower and I’ll get this sorted out?” Leaning closer, his lips brushed her ear, he lowered his voice to a whisper. “Unless you need someone to wash your back, of course.”
Molten lava spread through her, and her swallowed hard. Having Janus so close and the image of them in the shower was almost too much for her. Almost. When she didn’t respond, Janus made his move, and gently brushed his fingers against the tanktop she was wearing, dipped under it to touch the petal soft skin underneath. Drawing in a breath, Emily turned her head slightly toward him. Her intention was to say no, but looking into his eyes, seeing her own need reflected in his eyes, her determination wavered, and before she knew it, she could feel her back pressed against the wall, Janus’ body against her front.
Dipping his head, he kissed her like a starving man, devouring her little by little, his hands roaming over her body.
“Janus.” A moan escaped Emily, a plea from her lips, begging him for more. Dipping his head further, he nipped at her breast, easily finding the nipple. Sucking it into his mouth, he gently bit down through the tanktop, eliciting another moan from her. To his surprise, her hands that had been firmly holding onto his back, were now working on his belt and zipper. After a few seconds work, the charged silence in the hallway was broken by the sound of the zipper. When Janus felt Emily’s hand slip down, he froze. Closing his eyes, he relished in her touch; her slender fingers wrapping around him, stroking him from base to crown, running her thumb over his sensitive head. Putting one hand against the wall by her head, he leaned his forehead against hers, their breath intermingling
Over and over, Emily kept stroking him, loving the feel of his silky skin between her fingers, the small bead of precome made her want to taste him, and she licked her lips in anticipation. One of Janus’ hands had been clasping her hips, but was now moving toward her core. Stroking her pussy through her underwear, Emily closed her eyes in pleasure. She could feel her release building and she longed to meet it. It had been far too long since she’d had good sex. Dipping under the silk, Janus pushed a finger inside of her, loving the feel of her wet folds. The combination of her squirming from his touch, her hand still stroking his cock and the moans that came from her was almost enough to send him over the edge. A kiss to his neck sent shivers down his spine, a groan of pleasure escaped him.
“I need you Janus. All of you.” The meaning wasn’t lost on him. Within seconds, he ripped the offending underwear away, lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around him, driving himself balls deep into her, making her shout his name in pure bliss. His lips found hers and while he drove into her over and over, he kissed her like she was the air he needed to survive.
The fire that burned inside of her was spiraling out of control and she let it. Feeling his cock drive into her, stretching her to the limit felt so, so good and before she knew it, his name left her lips as the orgasm spread through her body leaving her limp. Janus soon followed after, his own release making his dick twitch and his head spin.
“You feel so good, baby girl. I could do this all night, just to hear you scream my name.” Nipping at her nipple, he drove himself into her once again, her moan music in his ears. Her breath was labored, sweat drenched her forehead, and the special glow to her cheeks… all of it made her even more beautiful to him.
“Wow.” A chuckle escaped Janus. “I need that shower even more now.” Pulling himself out of her, Janus took her face in both of his hands and gave her a kiss that made her toes curl. Nipping at her bottom lip, he refused to let her go just yet, needing her even more. The way she clenched his biceps with her hands, he knew she felt the same way.
“I’ll fix the food, while you shower.
Emily quietly agreed and she began to walk up the stairs. Making the mistake of looking behind him to admire the view, Janus could feel himself grow hard again by the mere thought of water sliding over her beautiful skin. Her footsteps could be heard upstairs, and Janus looked down at the food sitting on the kitchen table. When he heard the shower come on, he left the food and without hesitation, he ran up the stairs, following the sound of water.
Janus quietly slipped into the bathroom, and for a minute he just stood there, enjoying her silhouette behind the drapes. Seeing her hands reaching for the soap and the way they traveled over her skin, Janus quickly shucked his clothes and moved toward the shower. Slipping in there, he smiled when seeing her surprised look.
“Thought you would need some help getting soaped up.” Moving to stand behind her, he put soap on his hands and moved them over her skin. Leaning her head back against his shoulder a sigh escaped her.
“And you just thought you would volunteer?” Feeling his dick press against her ass, she pressed tighter against him, enticing him and fanning her own flames as well.
“Uh huh.” His hands covered her breasts, rolling the nipples between his fingers. Feeling them go stiff, he chuckled a little. “You like that, don’t you?” Pinching them a little harder, he felt his own cock grow even harder. “Put your hands against the wall.” The order came without thought, his voice husky. Seeing her obey was a huge turn on for him, even more to see her sway her ass and looking over her shoulder with desire smoldering in her eyes.
Standing behind her, he kissed her shoulder, his hands covering hers. Slipping down further, Janus peppered her back with kisses as he let his hands glide down her arms, slowly, teasingly. Carefully he avoided the patches of skin that were still marred by healing bruises. Crouching behind her, he got the perfect view to her ass, and he nipped at her globes, the temptation too high. Sliding a finger inside her pussy, he pumped a few times, feeling how wet she was. Giving her a final nip on the ass, he stood up and slowly pushed his cock inside her aching folds. As he entered, a moan escaped Emily and she arched her back even more, allowing him to penetrate deeper. Janus leaned closer to Emily and licked her earlobe. Pressing herself against him harder, Emily tried to make him move. She needed him to. Want rushed through her veins, muddling her thoughts. Pulling out a little, he slowly pushed back inside again. For what felt like forever, he repeated the motion, driving Emily insane with need.
“Please Janus.” She feel him pull out again, only to stop the motion.
“Please what, baby girl?” His voice was husky with repressed need, barely contained. When she tried to press backward he tightened his hold on
her hips, halting her motion. “Say it.” A whisper against her ear.
“Fuck me Janus. I need to feel you move inside of me. Please. I want you.” A harsh breath released by her ear and right before he drove into her he whispered into her ear,
“I love it when you talk dirty. My own fallen angel.” No more words were said as Janus picked up the speed and the only thing that could be heard at the moment was the running water and skin slapping against skin. “Almost there baby, are you with me?”
“Harder.” Panting, Emily could feel the sweet ecstasy of release lying so close, just around the corner. A small sound of frustration escaped her, knowing what would happen next – he would secure his own release and leave her hanging in limbo, just like Adam always did. To her utter surprise and delight, Janus gripped her hip harder, pushing himself more roughly into her, driving her closer to the edge. With his other hand he stroked her clitoris, and in few seconds pushing her all the way, drawing a scream from her as her orgasm tore through her body. Pushing one last time into her, he shouted her name with his own release.
Leaning her cheek against the cold tile wall, Emily panted, trying to bring her heartbeat down.
“Baby girl, you’re gonna be the death of me.” A breathless laugh escaped Emily. She could barely stand on her legs, tears prickling at her eyes. Noticing her emotional state, Janus frowned. “Are you alright? Did I hurt you?” Shaking her head, she couldn’t form the words to explain. Instead she turned around and burrowed her head into his chest, trying to not let her raging emotions get out of control. Without a word, Janus wrapped his arms around her, giving her strength.
“I haven’t felt so good for too long. I… He never…”
“Geez, are you telling me he couldn’t even… Bastard.” Leaning back, he tilted her head up. Looking into his eyes she falls into their depths, not ever wanting to leave. Love, understanding and desire smoldered in there making her feel not only loved, but safe as well. Leaning down to kiss her deeply, making her head swim, he pulled her flush against him. “I would never leave you hanging baby girl. Ever. Come on. Let’s get dried, dressed and get some dinner. I don’t know about you, but I need some food to keep up with you.” A chuckle escaped Emily as she untangled herself from him and she walked past him toward her room. Before leaving the bathroom, Janus delivered a saucy grin accompanied by a smack on her ass.
