CHAPTER 7¬Part one¬
Daniel couldn’t believe his ears. How could Alycia want a tattoo from him? He took a step backwards and looked at her, but she approached again. She wasn’t the same girl anymore, she slowly pressed her lips on Daniel’s and moved them slowly, offering him an intimate kiss. Their kiss became hotter and hotter. Alycia placed a hand on his chest and with the other she was so slowly touching Daniel’s naked back and that feeling was sending Daniel shivers and a urge to have her. She stopped kissing his lips and slowly caught his earlobe in her teeth. Daniel moaned her name, Alycia was surprised of what she could do, but she wanted to give him more pleasure. She was following some imaginary traces on his neck. In that moment Daniel pushed her in the wall and kissed her. They were kissing and touching, they had no rush, but they wanted one-another so badly.
*
For a moment his kisses stopped and he started to slap Alycia over her face. He shaked her so badly and kept slapping her. She could hear his voice, accusing her that she was with another man. She had to pay for that mistake. He slapped her until she had lost her balance and collapsed on the floor. Alycia was praying for everything to end, she closed her eyes and prayed for someone to come and save her, but it was too late, he left her unconscious ... until she felt some strong hands shaking her and a soft, but worried voice telling her to come back.
It was her Daniel. She opened her eyes and saw his scared look.
“Are you all right?” Daniel wanted to touch her cheek, but she stepped backwards. “It’s me, it will be ok, just let me hold you” he said again and caught her in his arms, hugging and calming her. Alycia couldn’t resist any longer and started to cry. She cried like a baby, but she didn’t know why. Maybe for the fact the she finally was with a man, but the other man in her life was still there haunting her. Or maybe that she wasn’t honest with Daniel. Or maybe for the miserable life she had. Or maybe she cried for herself.
“Don’t leave me” she said slowly. Daniel kissed her forehead and proposed her to leave his place. She agreed. During the car ride to her motel, they kept silence. From time to time Daniel was checking her to see if she was still awake.
Minutes after they were in her room.
“Thank you for driving me home, and I’m sorry that I ruined your night”, Alycia said while Daniel sat on her bed and she was walking nervously through the room. He grabbed her hand and made her sit on his lap.
“It was our night and you didn’t ruin it. I just want to know if you are ok now, you scared me. Oh...and just so you know...I am not going anywhere tonight, I’m staying with you.” He kissed her lips and started to unbutton her jeans. Alycia took his hand right away.
“What are you doing? You have to go home”
“I won’t, so just please let me put you to bed, that’s all I want from you. I want to sleep with you and feel your soft skin. Trust me” Alycia looked in his green eyes and her heart melted.
“You can stay here over the night.” Daniel helped her rise up and he did too. After, he unbuttoned her jeans as he wanted and she remained in a t-shirt and her underwear. He couldn’t take his eyes from her wonderful legs, but he had to be nice. He undressed in such a hurry and they got in bed, under the blanket. He hugged her so tight that her soft skin over his did the magic. He wanted more. Daniel made her get her t-shirt down and he was so surprised to see that she wasn’t wearing a bra. He wanted to kiss her breasts, but she covered herself with the blanket.
“You said that we are only sleeping.”
“I’m sorry baby, but you are so beautiful, that is hard to stop, but I promise that I will not do anything against your will.”
She smiled softly. “You are such a great man Daniel, but I’m worried that we can’t have a relation, we don’t even know each other.”
“I know that I like you a lot and for the rest I don’t care who you are, why you are here.”
“But I do, and I can’t be with you, I wasn’t honest with you.” She stopped a while and looked in his eyes. She was grateful that he didn’t stop her, she knew that it was time to share him her secret. She never told it to anybody, she didn’t know how to start, it wasn’t easy to tell somebody that you might be in love with that you were married with another man.
“I don’t know how to do it, but probably is the best if I start with the reason why I’m doing this, I don’t want to be judged by you.”
“I won’t judge you, my beautiful. I’m here because I care about you and I want to listen to what you have to say.” He assured her with a kiss.
After a short pause, she took a deep breath and told him everything. “ My horrible life has started ever since I was a child. My father has his own company, so my mother was used with the luxury,I lived in an enormous house, that I never liked.”
“Why? You had a place where to stay, you could have anything.”
“That is right, but the most of all I wanted love. One day, my father came at home and told us that he had to sell the company. So from there started all the craziness. My mom couldn’t give up to all that she was used, she kept spending money until we had to sell everything from the house and after 2 years we had to sell the house too, just to pay the bills. We moved in a nice flat and I was hoping that the past experience would change my parents, but it wasn’t so. My father never got a job, my mother didn’t even know how to cook. I had to get a job, at 16, I was working like a DJ in night clubs.”
“And this didn’t help them? You were just a child...I’m proud of you.”
“I don’t believe that you will be after you hear the rest of the story.”
“You did something more in the night clubs?” he asked worried.
“No, no, there’s no need to worry. You see, my parents were thinking day and night how to get rich again, it wasn’t enough for them that they had where to stay and eat. So, one day they found the solution...they made me marry the guy that my father sold his company. I had no choice.”
“You are married?”
“Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you “
“I guess I can handle it, but I need to know more.”
“I was locked in the house until I turned 18 and after I got married. My parents got everything back, except me. They didn’t care I wasn’t in love with that man. I had to move with him. At first he tried to be nice, but I made the mistake to tell him that I hated him.”
“Slow down...why are you saying the mistake?”
“Because he is a horrible man, he is 20 years older than me and much powerful. He is terrifying me, that is why I ran away.” Daniel hugged her when he felt that she was about to cry.
“Did he hurt you?” she whispered an “yes” and Daniel felt a lot of anger
“Why didn’t you try to divorce him?”
“ I tried so many times, last time he hit me so bad that he had to call the ambulance and before I left England I asked a friend to be my lawyer, he went to see him, but he was too drunken and Nick couldn’t talk with him.
Daniel didn’t say anything. He kept hugging her and looking at the ceiling. It was too much for him, but in the same time he couldn’t leave Alycia alone.
