Janelle
I wake up gasping looking around. “Hey… Hey, what’s wrong?” Abel asks sitting up and rubbing my back. I flinch before I realize that I’m lying in our bed, in the apartment unscathed and the dim light of dawn is creeping through the windows. “What’s wrong, Jani?”
“It felt so real.”
“Come lay back down, babe. It was just a dream.” He urges soothingly.
“What happened yesterday?”
“Everything,” Abel answered.
“No, I mean did I destroy this apartment?”
“Babe, you are working through some emotions. I promise you didn’t go rabid wolf on our apartment. Lay back down.” He chuckled. “Yesterday, you saved Gus, and helped take out Vinny and Thelma.” He whispered kissing my temple as he pulled me back to bed.
“It felt so real,” I whispered trying to shake the feeling.
“It was just a dream.”
“What’s my name?”
“Janelle.”
“No, my full name.”
“How am I supposed to know that? I only asked for your first name so I could refer to you as a person.” He chuckled kissing my lips. “I don’t recall you ever telling me your full name, but I do know sometime in the future it will be Janelle Vilkas.” He murmured as he moved to be above me. “Janelle Vilkas sounds so good to me.” He kissed my lips as his hand traveled down my body. “Do you want me to pleasure you, babe? I know that will make you feel good.” His lips begin to move down my neck, along my collarbone, stopping to suck each breast as his fingers begin to slide between my folds before thrusting into me.
“Abel…” I moan as the pleasure of his moves takes over. His lips trail down my abdomen until he’s licking my clit in rhythm to his fingers moving in and out of me. Yeah, that definitely was a dream… “Abel…”
“MMM…” he groans against my clit sending me over the edge with ecstasy. I feel myself c*m as he laps it up with hunger. He sends me over the edge two more times, before thrusting his manhood into me. “I can’t tell if you like my tongue or my c**k better.” He chuckles.
“They both pleasure me differently,” I respond, holding on for dear life as I feel I’m floating away with pleasure.
When we finish, he pulls me on top of him and holds me to his chest kissing the top of my head. “I love you, Jani.” He says kissing my head.
“Am I free to leave when I want to?” I dared to ask. If that was just a dream he’d have a different response, right?
“In a few days, once we are sure we got everyone Vinny planned to threaten us with, yes. Please don’t leave the house until I tell you it is safe. I could never forgive myself if something happened to you.”

Abel
She seems so shaken by her dream. I want to know what it was about, but I’m scared to make her relive it given how real it felt to her. I’ve had dreams like that before, I know how hard it is to shake the dream off. Seeing her flinch when I touched her told me, I was in the dream causing her to cry. I woke to her sobbing ‘Stop, it hurts’, but I never… I hope that pleasuring her like I did helped her realize it was just a bad dream.
She fell back asleep shortly after, telling me she felt safe enough to go back to sleep. My mom was right, Janelle was in shock. How do you help someone in shock? I thought everything was fine when she finished sobbing, but now… She’s having nightmares.
***********
I wake again to the sound of someone on the stairs. Instinctively, I pull the covers over us trying my best not to wake Janelle who is still sound asleep on my chest. “Your father will be home soon. He’s having Quil brought home for comfort, but he still hasn’t gained consciousness. He’ll be more comfortable at home in his own bed.” My mom informs me as she climbs the stairs. She stops at the top when she notices Janielle and I in bed. “Sorry, I thought you’d be awake.”
“She had a rough night,” I reply.
“I know, I lived it as well.” My mom nods.
“Rough night sleeping.” I corrected. “Is Quil in the clear?”
“Yes.” My mom says. “Just doesn’t want to wake up.”
“How’s Gus?”
“Resting comfortably. Thankful to be alive.”
“We would have lost them both if it wasn’t for her.” I sigh kissing Janielle’s head softly and rubbing her back. “When Dad comes home, I’m going out for the day.”
“Is that a good idea?”
“It’s needed, much needed.” I smile.
“If you insist, I cannot stop you.” My mom turns around and leaves the apartment.
She can’t leave the house alone until everything is clear, but I can take her out. I owe her that much now that we are all free from Vinny’s reign of terror. I relax holding Janielle as she sleeps on my chest. Everything feels perfect now. All I want to do is talk with her about our future together. What I envision, and what she wants. I love it when we just talk together. I’ve learned so much about her from our private talks, and I know how much she hates feeling like a caged animal in this house. If I can take her out for just a few hours and go for a walk in the park to soak in the sunshine, which is something she’s been missing, she will feel better. I’m not expecting a miracle, but I want to see her smile more.
She yawns and stretches in my arms. “Morning, sleepy head.” I smile as she lifts her head to look at me. “How did you sleep?”
“Better than I did earlier. Thank you.” She replied getting up.
She returns and begins getting dressed for the day. “Do you have shoes?”
“My old sneakers, why?”
“Make sure you put them on, we’re going out today.”
“You said not until you are positive everything is safe.”
“I said, not to go out alone until everything is safe,” I replied. Babe, I am tired of seeing you sad. I hate knowing you are upset because you have been trapped in this house like it’s your cage. I want us to have a nice picnic lunch in the community park and soak in the sunshine.”
“That sounds lovely.” She said with a smile as she walked over to the bed, knelt down, and pulled her backpack out from under the bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Getting my sneakers. After all, I am not going barefoot if I’m leaving this house.”
“Let me rephrase that. Why have you not unpacked your backpack?”
“I’m not ready to. Please, Abel. Don’t make me.”
“Honey, if you want to keep things in your bag, that’s your business. I just figured when you moved up here, you would have unpacked it by now. That’s all.” I climb out of bed and head into the bathroom. I need to shower before I take her out on our date. When I return to the bedroom, I find her sitting on the sofa slightly rocking as if nervous. “Janelle?” I say softly as I approach her. I kneel in front of her, so we are at eye level. “What’s wrong?”
“Please don’t be angry with me.”
“I’m not angry. I needed a quick shower, and once I’m dressed, we’re going to go out. I promised you that once Vinny was eliminated, I would take you on dates and that you could build a life here within the pack. We’ll help you find a job and get you a car. Anything you want, Janelle, it’s yours.” I assure her taking her hands in mine. “Why do you think I’m angry with you?”
“I still can’t shake that nightmare. It…”
“It just felt so real. I understand.” I sigh pulling her in for a hug. “You don’t have to, but if you want to talk about it, I’m here to listen.”
“It’ll make you angry. I…”
I kiss her lips. “I won’t get angry; I’m just concerned about you. It was a long and eventful night before bed, and then the nightmare added to your stress. Jani, please let me help you.”
“Maybe later.” She replies. “I just need a few minutes then I’ll be ready to go out. Though, I don’t have any makeup to put on.”
“You don’t need any makeup, but if you’d like we can go to the store and purchase some for you to wear in the future,” I tell her as I walk to my dresser to get dressed. I plan on taking her clothes shopping while we are out, but only after we have our lunch date in the park.
