Whiskey In The Water

Chapter 16-Logan

Chapter 16

Logan

Ashton and I walk out to the car after kissing my wife goodbye. Getting into the car, with Nick driving, we head out to the warehouse that Ashton owns. “How hard was it to find them?” I ask. “Not too hard. Took that Corbin guy from his house. He lives alone. Oliver was a little harder. Rico had to wait until his little hooker friend left.” He tells me and I nod. “You ready?” he asks. I look at my best friend and say, “f**k yeah.” And I see Ashton smirk. “I know you said we needed to handle them but are you going to tell me why?” he asks. “These fuckers tried to attack her when they were in high school. Tried to assault her in the back of the library right before graduation. She ran in that Corbin prick the other day and he was running his mouth asking her if she knew who her baby daddy was and that he’d be the baby’s daddy, but it would cost her.” I tell him. “f**k that.” Ashton says.

We pull up to the warehouse and get out of the car. “We will be a while. I’ll call when I need you.” Ashton says and Nick pulls away. We walk inside and see Rico and a couple of his guys standing and watching our new little friends. They have their heads down but look up when they hear us walk in. Corbin sees me and his eyes go wide. He starts to struggle, and his buddy looks from Corbin to me and back, confused. Corbin is screaming around the gag in his mouth and I just smirk at him. “I see he remembers you.” Ashton says and lightly smacks my chest. “That he does.” I say before the smirk falls from my face.

I walk up to Corbin and look from him to Oliver. “So, some interesting information has come to light about the two of you and my wife.” I say and Corbin keeps struggling. “Take their gags out.” Ashton says and Rico’s guys do as he asks. “What do you want?” Oliver asks. “Oliver, is it?” Ashton asks and Oliver doesn’t respond. “Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Ashton and the two of you know someone special to us.” He says. “I don’t know anyone you know.” Oliver says. “Lori Jones.” Corbin says softly and Oliver’s eyes go wide. “Now now. I told you she’s my wife. Her name is Lori Edwards now.” I say and both men are struggling against the binds holding them in place. “See, Lori is my wife. She’s carrying my daughter. And you upset her. I can’t have that.” I say. I point to Ashton and say “This man here? He’s Lori’s big brother and he doesn’t like anyone messing with his little sister. He’s kind of protective. I mean, not as bad as I am but you get the point.” I say, calmly. “My wife tells me things.” I say. I look at Corbin and say “After she saw you, she was upset. I don’t like seeing my wife upset. It’s not good for her or my little girl. But she was. She told me about what the two of you tried to do to her in the library when you were in high school. Touching my wife. Touching what’s mine. That was the wrong thing to do.” I say. “Well, she wasn’t yours yet.” Ashton says. I look at my best friend and he’s smirking. I look back at my victims and say “Doesn’t matter. Her father was beating her before she was mine and I still killed him.” I tell them and they both freeze.

“Are you ready brother?” I ask Ashton. “Oh yeah.” He says. He moves over in front of Oliver, and I am in front of Corbin. “Gag them.” I say and Rico’s men gag them like I asked. “Strip them and tie them face down on the tables.” Ashton says. I look at Ashton and say, “I like the way you think.” Before looking back at Corbin and you can see the fear in his eyes. “Incinerator is ready. Fire is good and hot.” Rico says and I start rubbing my hands together excitedly. “Are you ready boys? It’s time to party.” I say before Rico’s men bring Ashton and I some fire pokers and they are flaming hot. We both take the hot pokers and start pressing them to different parts of their bodies, listening to them scream around their gags. Before long, they both pass out. We put the pokers down and Ashton looks at Rico and says “Toss them in. Don’t even check if their still breathing.” Rico nods and he and his guys get to work.

After they finish, we head to Ashton’s office and have a drink. “Are you okay brother?” Ashton asks. “I’m okay. Just, Lori was telling me about that Corbin fucker. She said that he got a fifteen-year-old pregnant and then told her to get rid of it, that it wasn’t his but apparently it was. She wouldn’t so he had his friends jump her and caused her to lose the baby. Lori said the girl killed herself and no one would do anything about it. I guess her parents tried to have him charged but they couldn’t get anything to stick.” I tell him. “Well, looks like she got some justice too.” Ashton says before clinking his glass with mine.

After a couple of drinks with Ashton, Nick brings me home. I walk inside and see Alice sitting on the couch, reading a book. “Hey mom.” I say. “Hey son.” She says and raises a brow. I nod and she smiles softly. “Where’s Lori?” I ask. “She was tired, so I sent her to bed. I told her I would wait up for you.” She tells me. “Okay. Well, head to bed mom. See you in the morning.” I tell her before kissing her cheek. I set the alarm and head upstairs.

I walk into our bedroom and see my wife hugging my pillow, sleeping and I can’t help but smile. I head into the bathroom and get a quick shower before climbing into bed with my wife. I pull my pillow from her, and she stirs a little. “Logan?” she asks. “It’s me baby. Go back to sleep.” I tell her softly. She opens her eyes and looks at me. I nod and she kisses me softly before snuggling into my chest. “I love you.” She whispers. “I love you too.” I whisper back before we both fall asleep.

The next morning, I wake up before Lori. I head to the kitchen and Alice is cooking. “Morning mom.” I tell her. “Morning son.” She says. “How’d you sleep?” she asks. “Okay. More importantly, Lori slept all night.” I tell her and she nods her understanding. I pull my phone out of my pocket and send a text message telling my assistant that I will be working from home today. “Are you going into the office today?” she asks. “No. I’m going to work from home today. I don’t want to go far from Lori right now.” I tell her and she smiles. “You can go into the office Logan. I’m fine.” Lori says as she walks into the kitchen. I pull her close and say “I know you are but it’s for me too. I just want to be close to you today.” I tell her. “Do you want me to work in your office today?” I ask. “Please.” I say and she nods.

After breakfast, she heads to her office and gets her laptop before heading into my office. She sits on the couch with her laptop, and I decide to take mine and sit next to her with mine. “Logan, can you hand me that notepad?” I ask. I lean forward and grab the notepad that she asks for, and she starts writing down some information. She places the notepad between us, and I glance at it and see that she’s written some names down. “Who are those people?” I ask. “They are names of some social workers that Kathy got me access to that might be interested in working at the mission.” She tells me. “Do you need background checks done?” I ask. “I’ve already sent the names to Rico, and he did it for me. These are the ones that passed the background checks and are okay to interview.” She tells me and I look at her impressed. “What?” she asks. “You impress me more every day. You are just amazing.” I tell her and she blushes. “Good to see I can still make my wife blush.” I say before leaning over and kissing her softly.

After we finish what we are both working on, we are sitting on the couch still, talking. I have her feet in my lap, as usual, rubbing them. “You spoil me.” She says. “That a problem?” I ask. “Maybe.” She says and I see her smile, but it doesn’t meet her eyes. “What is it?” I ask. “Will you still want me when I’m ready to pop and can’t take care of you anymore?” she asks. “There will never be a time when you can’t take care of me.” I tell her. “You know what I mean. The farther along I get, the bigger I’m going to get. You’re not going to want to see me that big.” She tells me and I remember Izzy having the same feelings when she was pregnant. I take her hand and pull her to straddle me. She’s wearing a sundress that looks amazing on her and shows off her baby bump. I cup her face with one hand and my other hand is on her thigh, sliding up under the hem of her dress. “I want you to listen to me and listen closely. You are carrying my daughter. That is a miracle in itself. But honey, what you see as getting bigger, to me is you housing one of the most precious things I will ever witness. You are and will always be the most beautiful, sexy, amazing woman I have ever met, and I will always be proud to have you by my side, on my arm and in my bed.” I tell her and she puts her forehead to mine. Neither of us say anything else as my other hand finds her other thigh. I slide my hands up her thighs and one of my hands slides under the edge of her panties. I brush over her c**t with my thumb as my fingers slide down to her entrance. “Mmm.” She moans. “That feel good baby?” I ask softly. She nods her head and I say, “Use your words baby.” She takes a shaky breath and whispers “Yes.” I smirk and slide my finger inside her warm, wet channel before slipping a second finger. She starts rocking against my fingers. “Ride my fingers baby. Make yourself c*m for me.” I rasp and she starts to rock faster against my fingers. I start placing soft kisses to her neck and she tilts her neck, giving me better access and I can feel her core start to suck my fingers in before she stiffens, and I feel her find her release on my fingers. I pull them out of her and bring them to my lips. She watches me suck her juices off my fingers and she reaches for my belt. “What do you want baby?” I ask. “You to f**k me.” She rasps. I’m not used to her talking like that, but she gets my belt undone, as well as the button and zipper on my pants. I raise my hips and help her get my pants and boxer briefs down enough to pull out my hard member. I help her rise up before she lines me up with her entrance and she starts slowly sliding down my shaft until I am balls deep inside my wife.

She starts bouncing up and down on my c**k finding a rhythm that feels good to her, and it feels amazing to me. My hands are on her hips, and I move one hand to find her c**t again. I start rubbing circles on her little nub as she starts to moan a little louder. I can tell she’s getting close again, still sensitive from her first orgasm. “That’s it baby girl. Ride my c**k. f**k your p***y feels so f*****g good.” I rasp and she moans. “Logan. Oh God. Logan.” I pull down the top of her dress, revealing her luscious t**s. I wrap my lips around one n****e while I use my finger and thumb to tweak the other and hear her moans getting louder. “You’re p***y is choking my c**k baby. f**k, I’m not going to last.” I say. “c*m with me Logan. Please.” She begs and I double down on her c**t and feel her start to pulse around my c**k. “Logan.” She calls out as her orgasm rips through her. “f**k baby.” I groan as I find my release inside my wife and this orgasm seems like it’s going on forever.

When we both start coming down from our blissful high and I place soft kisses to her lips. “You’re mine Lori.” I say. “All yours.” She says back. I cup her face and make her look at me. “You will never be anything but perfect. Do you understand me?” I ask and she nods her head yes. “I know what’s going through your mind. None of that s**t is true. I know you don’t feel sexy because of being pregnant but baby, being pregnant makes you a whole other level of sexy to me. If you ever start feeling like that again, let me know. I have no problem dropping everything to show you just how perfect and how sexy you are.” I tell her. “How did I get so lucky?” she asks in a whisper. “I’m the lucky one. I have the perfect woman.” I whisper back.

After spending a little more time in my office, we just cuddle on the couch. After a little bit, my phone starts ringing. “Yeah.” I say into the phone. I look at Lori and she’s watching me closely. “When...Shit…Yeah, I’m on my way.” I say before ending the call. “What’s wrong?” she asks. “That was Kathy. We should head to the hospital. I’ll fill you in on the way there.” I tell her and we head out the door.

Getting into the car, Hans driving, Logan looks at me. “You know Kathy works with Child Services right?” I ask and she nods her head yes. “Kathy was called to the hospital. Woman was brought in with her little girl. Both covered in bruises. The little girl won’t let anyone touch her but her mom and her mom needs to be checked out. They need to do a r**e kit and can’t with the little girl there and they want you to see if you can talk to her.” I tell her and she nods her head.

We get to the hospital and as soon as we walk in, Kathy walks up and says, “Thanks for coming.” And we both nod. “The little girl’s name is Anna. She’s nine. Won’t leave her mom’s side.” She tells me. Lori nods and says she will be right back. Kathy leads her to the door where Anna and her mom Beth are. I watch my wife walk in and talk to Beth and Anna and within a few minutes, Anna is walking out of the room with Lori. She’s f*****g amazing. Lori and Anna walk over towards me and Anna tenses up. “He won’t hurt you. He’s my husband. Is it okay if he walks with us to get something to eat?” she asks, and Anna nods her head yes. “I’ll walk behind you guys.” I tell her softly and she nods.

I follow my wife and Anna down the hall, walking a short distance behind them so not to scare Anna. After we make it to the cafeteria, they get something to eat, and I pay before they find a table and I sit a couple of tables over so that I can see my wife and still give them some space for Lori to get her talking.

After about thirty minutes, we head back upstairs after Kathy texted Lori to let her know that Beth was done with the tests. When we walk back into the room, I stay near the door while Lori explains to them that Kathy would help her, and Anna get to the mission, and they could stay there and would be safe. I speak up and tell Beth “I will be there tomorrow afternoon to talk. I’ll help you any way I can.” She looks down at her hands and before she can say anything Lori tells her “He’s a lawyer. We both work with the mission, so you don’t have to worry about anything. We don’t charge. You will be safe, and we can help you and Anna.” She tells Beth and you see Beth relax. She looks at me and mouths “Thank you.” I just nod and Lori comes back to me, and we head home for the night.

We walk into the house and Lori heads to the shower. She was quiet all the way home and I know something isn’t right. After she gets into the shower, I strip down and climb in behind her. I don’t speak. I pull her to me, and she starts to sob. After she gets it out of her system, I help her get dried off and we get dressed. “What did she tell you?” I ask. “Anna said her dad was the one beating on them both. Beth took the beating when she tried to stop Anna’s dad from molesting her.” She tells me. “Did she say if it had happened before?” I ask. “Anna said he’s never tried anything with her. Just hits her and yells at her.” She tells me. “So that’s the first time he’s tried to molest her?” I ask. “According to Anna.” She tells me. “Well, tomorrow, if you and Mary can talk to Anna some more, I will talk to Beth, and we will see what we can do for them. But they will be safe there. No one will let anyone near them.” I tell her. “I know.” She whispers and we just lay together for a while before she finally dozes off.

I lay awake most of the night just thinking. I will never understand how a man can hurt the people he should be protecting. What kind of man does that? And to try to molest his child? f**k. I finally doze off about 3am with my arms around my wife and my hand on her stomach, holding my child.

The next morning, I wake up and am in bed alone. I start to panic before I hear her in the closet, getting dressed. “Damn it.” I hear her say softly. I get out of bed and walk to the closet door. “Are you okay baby?” I ask. “No. I can’t see my feet.” She pouts. “Sit down.” I tell her and help her sit on the bench we installed when she started showing. “Which ones do you want?” I ask. “The blue ones.” She tells me. I grab the blue ballet flats that she loves to wear and start putting them on her feet. “I didn’t mean to wake you up.” She says softly. I tilt her chin up to make her look at me. “I don’t mind you waking me up.” I tell her before kissing her softly. “I was going to head down and help Alice with breakfast.” She tells me. “Give me a minute and we will both go down.” I tell her. “You should rest. I know for a fact you didn’t get to sleep until late.” She says. I look at her and she says “Every time I moved, you were awake. Plus, you look exhausted.” I shake my head and say “I’m fine. But I will let them know I won’t be in the office today. The only client I will talk to today is Beth.” I tell her and she nods. “Okay. Then we can come back here and rest.” She says. “Yes. I’ll talk to Beth and find out what all needs to be done for her and Anna and then I will send the information to Jordan to handle for me.” I tell her. “Good.” She says and we both get up and head downstairs to get our day started.

After breakfast, we head to the mission and as soon as we walk in, we head to the sitting room where Beth and Anna are. As soon as Anna sees Lori, she stands up and rushes over to Lori. “Good morning Ms. Lori.” She says. “Good morning, Anna.” She says. “Anna, why don’t you show me your guys room?” Lori asks and Anna looks at her mom. Beth nods her okay and they head to the dorm.

“How are you feeling?” I ask. “Sore but okay. Still keep looking over my shoulder but Kathy said we’re safe here. She wants me and Anna both to start counseling.” She says. “What do you think?” I ask. “I think it’s a good idea.” She tells me. “Good. Now, let me tell you how this is going to go.” I tell her and she nods. “I’m going to ask you some questions about you, Anna, and her father. I need you to give me as much detail as possible. Then I will tell you what I feel we should do, and we can go from there.” I tell her and she nods. “Thank you for this Mr. Edwards.” She says. “Call me Logan. Now, tell me about yourself.” I tell her and she starts talking. She tells me about how her and Anna’s father have been together for more than a decade but aren’t married. That they don’t live together. She tells me how he has a wife and two kids with another woman and that he just comes by when he wants something. She tells me about how every time he shows up, she tells him that she doesn’t want to be with him and that they are done, and he tells her that she doesn’t get to make that decision. She tells me about how he hits her and Anna and how he tried to molest Anna. She tells me that he’s never tried to do that before and told her that if she won’t sleep with him that he will take it from Anna. At first, she thought he was just saying it to keep her in line and get what he wanted but then she found him in Anna’s room, pinning her on the floor and that he had her pants off and his pants were undone. She hit him over the head with the lamp and he beat her.

“Okay, so, restraining order and relinquishing of parental rights. I will get the police report and talk to the district attorney about no bond to keep him in jail. You and Anna are not to leave this building until further notice.” I tell her. “Okay. But will I have to face him in court? He’ll kill me and if he doesn’t, his wife will.” She says. “Depends on the judge. But I will see what I can do to make sure you’re safe and that Anna is too.” I tell her and she nods.

After talking to her and getting all of the info, I tell her that I will have one of the lawyers that works for me, get everything rolling. I email the information to Jordan who says that she will get this done before the end of the day. I take my wife home and we snuggle in bed and rest just like I promised. We both end up falling asleep wrapped around each other and we nap off and on all day.
