I opened my eyes and saw a mostly dark cave. The oil lamp had run dry sometime in the night. Judging by the faint light shining through the cave opening, it must have been before sunrise. I rolled over and gently placed my hand on the side of Reed's face. He stirred and opened his eyes, immediately meeting mine. He smiled at me sleepily and gently kissed my forehead. Despite my life being complete turmoil right now, none of it mattered in this moment, or any moment spent with him.
"It's best we get up and moving. Your family will have a search party out for you the moment they realize you are gone." Reed said. I nodded in agreement knowing that the monster I had witnessed in my husband would not let me go quietly.
Reed stood and dressed himself and then helped me dress as well. We left the cave and began walking through small animal made paths in the woods. We walked until the sun was high in the sky and we had reached an area with an opening. He turned to me and said "We will stay here until evening. That's when the train comes through. We are going to hop the train and take it wherever it goes. I need you to trust me on this, okay?" I felt anxiety rise inside my chest but I also craved the adventure of being somewhere new by tomorrow.
"I trust you." I said confidently.
We laid on a blanket just outside the forest opening, facing each other and talking, giggling, playing with one another's hands, and exchanging kisses until the sun began to set. Reed looked at me and smiled, a far away look in his eyes.
"This is the beginning of our adventure."
A low rumble in the distance made itself known. Reed stood and helped me to my feet. He packed up the blanket into his nap sack and guided me to a dirt hill. The sun was out of sight now and I could just barely make out the train tracks. Reed helped me as we climbed the hill of the tracks. The rumble was growing louder and I could see the train lights coming towards us. Reed turned to face me and had to yell to even be heard "When I say go, you go and don't think about it!" I nodded to signal I understood. He squeezed my hand tightly and we both watched as the train approached.
The train began to pass us, whipping at my hair and clothes. The smell of smoke filling the air. Each train car passed faster than the first until it seemed to almost slow down. Reed squeezed my hand and then let go as he leapt to grab a small door handle on the side of a car. He hoisted himself up and then shouted over the roar "NOW!" he held out his hand and I grabbed it quickly. He pulled me up to him and then slid open the door where he pushed me inside. He crawled in and closed the door behind us. It was dark and it took my eyes time to adjust. Once adjusted I could see trunks and crates piled up everywhere. Reed began looking around and opening trunks. He found a trunk with ladies clothing and motioned for me to come over to him. I walked over and peered into the trunk. "Find yourself something nice so that we can get you out of those clothes and into something you weren't seen leaving in." I began sorting through the trunk and pulled out a white eyelet dress with a matching hat. I turned my back to Reed and politely said "excuse me sir, could you please help me out of these clothes" with a playful smile.
Reed chuckled and began undoing the buttons on my dress. He gently pushed the dress down to my hips trying to avoid touching the very tender welts and bruises on my back. He then untied my hoop skirt and pushed it to the ground. His hands lingering on my hips, I could feel the pain he felt seeing me in this condition. I turned to face him. "That will be all, sir" I said playfully. He smiled but it didn't quite meet his eyes. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his face to mine. I kissed him and then whispered "my love...I am okay as long as I am with you. Please don't dwell on the past." He kissed me in return and then said "I should have protected you. If I was with you, this wouldn't have happened to you." His eyes brimmed with tears as he spoke the words. I began covering his face with kisses and whispered "shhh.....this is not your fault. We are together here now and that is all that matters. Vow to keep me safe from this day forward and that is all I'll ever need." "I promise, Sadie" he said in a low voice. I kissed the corner of his mouth and left a trail of kisses all the way down to his collarbone. He pulled me close and let out a content sigh. I laced my fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck and gave a little tug.
His fingers moved from my hips to the small of my back where they began working to undo the lacing of my corset. He gingerly pulled it away from my body and cast it to the side. My breasts shifted under the thin fabric of my chemise. He pulled the hem of the chemise over my head and tossed it near my corset before unbuttoning my slip and allowing it to fall to the floor. He slowly walked me backwards to a trunk and pushed me down until I was sitting on top of it. He kneeled in front of me and cupped my breasts in both of his hands and began kissing each simultaneously. He moved to lick and suck on both n*****s, tugging at them until they stood erect. He gave both a pinch and seemed satisfied with their tautness. He kissed the space between my breasts and and slowly moved down to my stomach, placing both hands on each side, he smiled sweetly and kissed around my naval. He grabbed my knees and gave a quick squeeze of reassurance before parting my legs. His fingertips lightly grazed over my inner thighs as he watched my expressions. His lips softly kissed my hips and the area below my naval before he moved down to my v****a. Using both hands he spread me apart and ran his tongue from just below my opening all the way to the top of my c**t. My body tingled at the sensation and I instantly threw my head back and let out a moan. He repeated this action multiple times, each time sending me closer to the edge. He grabbed my hands and placed them on top of his head and whispered "I want you to be my good girl and enjoy yourself. Don't think about it, use me to get your pleasure" He returned to licking me from bottom to top. I run my fingers through his hair and pulled it slightly. He let out a low moan that felt so good against me. I moved to position myself directly against his face and used his hair to push him further into me. He let out a low "mmmmm..." as he sank his tongue into my opening. I could feel him pressing and rolling it around inside of me, sending chills over my body. He soon replaced it with two fingers, pushing them deep inside and curling them in a 'come closer ' motion. He began licking and sucking my c**t, pulling it into his warm mouth and twirling his tongue around it. I began grinding myself against his face, keeping my grip on his hair so that his face stayed firmly against me. He sped up his motions, intensifying the tingling sensation throughout my body and I felt as he carefully pushed another finger inside me. I pressed myself harder against him, allowing his fingers to go as deep as they physically could inside of me. I sucked in a sharp breath mixed with pleasure and pain, but the kind of feeling that just makes you want it more. I rocked my hips harder against his fingers, allowing them to come in and out of me as he relentlessly sucked my c**t. I felt him slide his fourth finger inside of me, spreading all of them out as his hand slide just a bit further into me, stopping before his thumb. He made a scooping motion inside of me and I felt my entire body tremble. Everything felt so tight and was stinging a bit however I couldn't help but want him to continue. I pulled his head away and tilted it up and down so that he was licking me from the top of my opening to my c**t again. He continued the scooping motion of his hand inside me and the stinging began to disappear. I soon felt my body melting against him and then I started shaking as my breathing grew rapid. Then it felt like I exploded, fluid dripping out of my opening, moans escaping my lips. He slowed his motions until he stopped completely. I released his hair and he pulled his face away from me. Gently and carefully he retracted his fingers that were sunk ever so deep inside my body. I shuddered at the sensation, almost enough to send me over the edge a second time. He chuckled quietly and then said in a low husky voice "that's my good girl...that's what I wanted from you" He stood and collected my clothing and brought it to me.
"You only have to put these back on if you want" he said with a wink.
