Mike was silent for a long time. “That’s… that’s a lot to take in. I had no idea that so much had happened to you. HIV positive, David? I wish you had told me… I could have protected you from Donovan and I could have paid for your treatment at an actual hospital. You could have avoided all of this mess.”
“Yeah,” said David, “but I was ashamed. We had made so many plans when we were younger, we had dreamed of being such important people. You actually ended up achieving those dreams and I can’t even begin to tell you how proud of you I am. You ended up doing everything both of us had hoped to do! But me… I was just a drifter. A nobody. And I only came to you because I needed money. It was shameful enough that I only established contact with you because I needed you to give me money every week, telling you about how badly I had fucked up and how many times… that would have been something that I just wouldn’t have been able to get past. So I ended up hiding everything from you.”
Mike got up and hugged David, who pressed his forehead to his cousin’s shoulder and began to sob.
“It’s okay, man,” said Mike. “It’s all going to be okay. Look, you made a lot of mistakes, it happens. You were an idiot, it’s true. But I still love you, man. I am still here for you. And I swear, I am going to be here for you no matter what. That motherfucker Donovan, he is never going to lay a finger on you again. I swear it. If he comes anywhere near you I will gouge out his eyeballs.”
David was sobbing harder now. “I’m sorry,” he said. It was all he could say, as he was repeating it over and over again. “I’m so fucking sorry, I’m so sorry…”
Mike held David, his brother, his childhood best friend, for the longest time until he fell asleep. When David finally descended into the realm of dreams, Mike got up, wiped his eyes and exited the hospital.
So much suffering, so much grief, and all for what? David was a misguided soul, someone that had just lost his way. He had been looking for love and acceptance and he found it in the wrong person. He was an adult and he deserved to suffer the consequences of his actions, but the HIV meant that he was already paying for past mistakes.
Donovan. Donovan was the one that deserved punishment for all of this. He had abused his wife and driven her to drug abuse, he had accused David of giving her HIV when she was the one that had given it to him, he was the one that had tried to kill him twice and had made his life a living hell.
As Mike rode his bike across the city he made plans to incur all sorts of vengeance upon the psychopath that had caused David so much grief. However, as the hospital got further away, Mike started to think about something else.
There was one person that he wanted to meet more than anyone else in the world right now, one person that could help him make sense of all that had happened over the past few hours. That person was Jennifer, and she had been waiting for him for a very long time indeed. She had not called him at all, instead just texting him to make sure he was okay. She was such a good person, so understanding, so caring. She deserved to be treated with respect, she deserved to know the truth, so Mike was going to make sure that he spent as much time with her as he could.
He wasn’t going to rest until he made everything right.
Chapter Fifteen
Jennifer had been waiting with bated breath for hours now. It was three in the morning and she knew that Mike was safe but she was anxious to meet him, to go over what had transpired over the course of the previous day. She knew that until she met him she would not be at peace.
The moment that Jennifer started to feel like she would tear her hear out in frustration, her doorbell rang. She ran to the door and opened it, and the moment she saw Mike she felt into his arms and started to sob. “Oh Mike!” she said, “I was so worried!”
“There, there,” said Mike soothingly, “I’m alright. I’m here now.”
He guided her back into the apartment and as soon as they were in she started to hit him.
“Hey!” he said, “Quit it! I thought you were glad I was okay!”
“I am,” she said, “and now that I know you’re okay I can take all of my anger out on you. What the fuck, Mike? What took you so long?”
“I had a lot of things I had to handle,” he said. “I had to meet David too.”
Jennifer pressed her lips to Mike’s savoring his taste, savoring the feel of his rough stubble against her skin. She guided him into the bedroom and got on top of him, kissing him the whole time.
“Never again,” she said. “Never again, do you hear me?”
“I am going to have to do this again,” said Mike. “This isn’t over yet. In fact, I fear that this might just have been the beginning. The man I am up against… he’s not someone to be trifled with. He is a highly dangerous individual, someone that I am going to have to fight with a great deal of calculation.”
Jennifer pressed her forehead to Mike’s chest and he held her close. “I can’t deal with this,” she said. “I can’t deal with you being in so much danger.”
‘I know,” said Mike. “I am sorry that I am putting you through this. I promise that I won’t drag this out. I am going to make sure that everything works out in the end, and when the end comes I will make sure that I finish it completely. I am not going to leave anything to chance. I have so much to tell you…”
Jennifer kissed Mike again and said, “Later. Please. I can’t hear anything right now, I just need to be with you. I need you to be close to me…”
“Then I will hold you as long as you need me to,” said Mike. He turned them to their side and snuggled her deep into his chest. Jennifer had missed his smell so much. She was amazed that even after this extended period of time, he still smelled the way he had always smelled. He still smelled like the strong, unstoppable man that he was.
“I don’t care about anything right now,” said Jennifer, “all I care about is the fact that you are safe. Mike… I… I thought that I had lost you.”
Mike kissed her hard and said, “Never. You are never going to lose me. For as long as you want me around, I will be right here. I will keep you safe, and I will stay safe for you as well. Jennifer… without you I don’t know what I would have done. I was broken when I called you, I was useless. If you hadn’t come over when you did, if you hadn’t snapped me out of it… I think I would have ended up doing something very stupid indeed. I think I would have ended up ruining everything. You came in and you made me feel like everything was going to be alright. You convinced me that I had it in me to handle this situation. This is what you do to me. You make me strong, you keep me whole, you keep me sane. Oh Jennifer… I don’t even know where to start if I want to tell you how important you are to me. I… Jennifer… I love you.”
Jennifer stared at Mike in shock. She felt it too, of course, she felt it with every fiber of her being. A part of her had even felt like Mike felt it too, but she had never expected him to actually say it. Not Mike, the guy that just didn’t know how to say anything remotely emotional.
“I’ve never said it to anyone before,” he said. “I am sorry if I said it wrong. I must have sounded so awkward and out of place, like a fish out of water. But the fact of the matter is that I don’t care about how awkward I seemed. This is how I feel about you, you are the only person that has ever made me feel this way, and I don’t ever want to feel this way with anyone else.”
They kissed once more, and it was a kiss filled with a great deal of passion and longing. Jennifer was so madly in love with Mike that she felt like she might burst at any moment. Before she knew what was happening, Mike’s hands were up her shirt and he was fondling her breasts. This was much like the first time they had had sex. Her body was naked under her t shirt and pajamas, and she felt his warmth without any restrictions or blockages.
“Touch me,” she said. “Make me yours.”
“You are mine,” said Mike. “You are completely mine. You belong to me, Jennifer. I own you now, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You are my most precious possession, you are the thing
that keeps me sane in this mad, mad world. I wouldn’t lose you for anything in the world. I would give up everything for you. This is because in owning you, I have surrendered myself to you as well. I have made myself yours in every way possible. I have turned myself into your servant, willing to do anything and everything to make you feel as good as you deserve to feel.”
‘Then kiss me,” Jennifer whispered into Mike’s lips, and her lover obliged. Their lips met as did their bodies, and their moment one would not have been able to tell one from the other no matter how hard one tried.
“I need you inside me,” she said. “I know it’s risky, but I want your come inside me as well. Mike, I need you to own me. I need to belong to you, to be your girl and no one else’s. If you come inside me… that’ll make me whole… I will have a part of you that belongs to just me… Please… Oh Mike please won’t you own my body? Won’t you use me like your property and teach me how to please you? All I want is to be your property, for you to use me like your toy and show me how I deserve to be treated…”
“Yes,” said Mike, his cock rock hard now. “Yes, you are mine. My girl, unbutton my jeans. Take them off me.”
“Yes my love,” said Jennifer, taking her lover’s pants off of him. “What do you want me to do now?”
“Suck my cock,” said Mike. His voice was a hoarse whisper now, with all the desperation of a man that had abandoned all pretense of not caring, all pretense of detachment.
“Only for you my baby,” said Jennifer. She started to suck Mike’s cock, taking it deep into her mouth. She loved the salty taste of it, the way the flavor filled her mouth. His manhood was well lubricated by the time she was done with him.
“Mike,” Jennifer whispered. She took his hand and placed it onto her pussy. “Look at what you’ve done to me.”
“You’re so wet,” said Mike.
“It’s because my body belongs to you, and it knows that you want to use it,” said Jennifer. “I have made myself ready for your pleasure. Do you want to use me, baby? I promise I’ll make you feel good.”
‘That’s my good girl,” said Mike. “On your back, now. Get into position for your lover.”
“Yes my love,” said Jennifer. She got on her back and spread her legs for her man. “Is this good?”
“Yes,” said Mike.
“I am really wet so you can ram it in if you want,” Jennifer mewled. “I’ll take it like a good girl. You don’t have to be gentle at all, I am your property after all. You don’t need my permission to use me.”
Mike rammed his cock deep into her, and the warm wetness inside her pussy drove him wild with passion.
Jennifer gasped but ignored her pleasure. She wanted to focus on her man, she wanted to focus on making him feel good.
“Is that good?” she asked meekly. “Wait, I’ll spread my legs some more for you.”
‘Good girl,” said Mike, stretching out that last word as he started to plunge himself deep into her.
“I’ll be nice and quiet for you now so that you can use me in peace,” said Jennifer. “I won’t be loud or anything, okay?”
She gently kissed his lips and lay back, her eyes closed and her mouth shut. Mike used her pussy the way it was meant to be used and soon he started to pound her with a passion that was formidable to behold.
Jennifer gasped and then covered her mouth. “I’m so sorry,” she said, “did I distract you?”
“Yes,” said Mike. “You said you wouldn’t make a sound.”
“I know!” she said. “It’s just that… you’re being very rough and I know you own me but it makes it hard to stay quiet. Can you hold me while you use me?”
“Yes my baby,” said Mike, wrapping his arms around Jennifer. She pressed her forehead to his chest and whispered, “I won’t do it again. I’ll be a good girl now, I promise. I’ll be your good little girl.”
She was silent for a while as he pounded away at her. She stroked his back and whispered soothing, loving things into his ear, things that would show him just how much she loved him.
“My baby,” she whispered, “you feel so perfect inside of me. You feel so right. Do you want me to kiss your chest? I know you like it.”
“Yes,” said Mike. “Do it now.”
Jennifer kissed Mike’s chest, moaning as she did so. “I know how you like it, baby. I’ll give it to you just how you like just… please don’t go okay? That’s all I ask.”
“Never,” Mike moaned, his grunts becoming increasingly loud.
“Baby does this make you feel good?” asked Jennifer, clenching her pubic muscles to tighten her cunt around her man’s cock.”
“Yes!” Mike roared, “Oh fuck! No wait, stop. No! That’s going to make me come. Do it later when I’ve used you enough. I don’t want to stop right now.”
“Okay, I’m sorry,” said Jennifer. “Wait, pull out so that I can take my punishment, it’ll help your cock calm down a bit too so that you can use me some more.”
Mike pulled out and pressed his hand against Jennifer’s throat. “You are a good little girl but you need to understand who’s in charge here,” he growled. “I am using you because you’re my property, and my property is supposed to obey my command. I am not going to come inside you if you act out of turn again.”
“No!” begged Jennifer, “No please, come inside me… I’m sorry… Okay, I won’t do it again okay? Here, look I’m lying back and my legs are spread so that you can punish my pussy.”
Mike slapped her cunt thrice and Jennifer clamped her jaw shut so that her man would not have to listen to her squeals at all.
“That’s my good little girl,” he groaned. He kissed her pussy and softly massaged it. He ran his tongue up her slit, slowly savoring the taste of her and enjoying the sound of her moaning.
“Stop,” she moaned, “you’re making me feel good… I want to feel used…”
Mike rammed his cock into her and growled, “That’s my girl. You know your place, don’t you?”
Jennifer yelped and said, “Yes, yes... I will do anything to stay in my place, to stay right here under you where I belong…”
“Good,” said Mike. “You deserve my come again. If you don’t give me what I want from you I am going to pull out and come far away from you, do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” said Jennifer, a note of intense desperation in her voice. “Baby please, I promise I understand please don’t say that I can’t bear the thought of your come going anywhere else but inside me… Please, okay? Listen, I swear I’ll do anything, just come inside me okay? Don’t say that you’ll come anywhere else either, I can’t stand it…”
Mike softly kissed Jennifer’s lips and said, “Okay. You want me to tell you where I’m going to come? Would that make you feel loved and safe?”
“Yes please,” moaned Jennifer. She kissed his chest and said, “See? I’m being a good little girl, I’m kissing you just where you like it because I know how good it makes you feel! My legs have been spread this whole time and I haven’t complained one bit, I’m a good girl right?”
“Yes,” said Mike, “yes you are a good girl.”
“Thank you,” Jennifer moaned, “can you tell me where you’re going to come now? Please… for me… for your baby girl…”
Mike plunged his cock as deep into her pussy as it could go, but he did not do it fast. Instead, he kept the pace slow and excruciating, he made sure that Jennifer was driven wild with ecstasy by the time he was all the way in.
“Do you feel where my cock is right now?” asked Mike, pushing it against the deepest part of her. Upon Jennifer’s frantic nodding he said, “This is where I’m going to put all of my come, okay?”
“Oh baby,” she moaned, “Oh baby thank you… thank you so much… I can’t thank you enough for blessing me like this… Can you… can you show me again?”
Mike pulled out fast then plunged back in just as slowly as before. “Right here,” he moaned, “right here. I’ll give my good little girl a gift for being
such an obedient slut but filling her up nice and deep, okay?”
“You promise?” gasped Jennifer.
“I promise, my love,” said Mike. “Just for you.”
“Okay,” she whispered almost inaudibly, softly kissing his chest and licking it. The licking was a bold move, Mike had not allowed her to do it, but she felt like it was the right thing to do in that situation. Mike kissed her and she was glad that she had done the right thing. He would not have kissed her if he was displeased with her.
Mike began to pull out and Jennifer clawed at his back, wrapping her legs around him desperately. “No!” she moaned, “Don’t! Why are you leaving me, have I been bad? I was quiet… Did I hold you too hard? I’ll loosen up I-“
Mike clamped his hand over her mouth and said, “I am pulling it because I want you under me in a different way. I don’t want to look at you, I just want to use you now. Get on your stomach so that I can use you like my property, I can muffle your moans with the pillow too.”
“Okay you’re right,” moaned Jennifer, “you’re looking at my face the whole time, it must make it difficult to use my cunt as your sex toy when you feel me breathing on your chest the whole time. Are you going to come in me like that too?”
“No,” said Mike, “I wouldn’t be able to come deep enough if you’re on your stomach. Just let me use you like this for a little while, don’t worry I will tell you when I need you to take my come, okay?”
“Okay,” said Jennifer. She reluctantly let Mike pull out, then got on her stomach and raised her ass ever so slightly into the air so that he got quickly get back in.
Mike was not gentle at all when he rammed his cock back into her. Jennifer’s face was in the pillow but she still didn’t scream. Just because her man had taken precautions to ensure that he could use her like the toy she was didn’t mean that she could stop being a good girl and do something she was not allowed to do.
