Chapter twenty-three

Henry

Henry woke to a thudding blow against his leg. Pushing slumber aside, he rolled left and took a second strike on his right shin. Cool air met his chest, the covers having shifted and fallen sometime during the night.

Years ago, in the throes of a nightmare, Jay had given him a black eye that persisted for a week. Tonight, it seemed Alice aimed to surpass him.

His sweet, sweet girl had been wrestling demons as he slept.

A wild swing, elbow leading, jolted him into action. Driving his arm down to block her, he caught her forearm with his and snatched her wrist. Her outflung hand fell limp inches from his cock, her backslap thankfully undelivered.

He raised her hand and pressed a kiss against her knuckles. “Let us be grateful my reflexes are as fine as yours, dearest.”

No answer greeted him, though he hadn’t expected one. Alice yet slept, tangled in the knotted strands of anxious dreams. The bedside clock ticked over to two seventeen, its muted blue glow silhouetting her form. Behind him, Jay’s deep breathing remained unchanged.

Perhaps his beloved boy might sleep through Alice’s disturbance. Unlike Jay, she warred with her demons in eerie silence. No cries or shouts passed her lips. Sharp lines of frustration and fear pooled harsh shadows in her face.

He shifted her with care, nestling her tense body in front of his own, winding them together like yarn on a spindle. Her slender back pressed into his chest as he tightened his hold on her arms. Sliding one arm beneath her neck, he passed her clasped wrists to that hand.

She squirmed, a delicate bit of torture as her ass wiggled against the cock now showing interest in the proceedings. Throwing his leg over her lower body helped still the motion but not the desire. With long practice, he shuffled his cock’s urgent prodding to the back of the line. He had far more heady pleasures to fulfill.

“Your needs first, my dear.” Voice low, he teased the edge of her ear with his tongue. This was the bargain he struck; his pets would never struggle alone, never suffer silently when he could ease their distress. “I dislike tension in my darling Alice when I am not its cause.”

Either his hold or his voice proved sufficient to cease her flailing. Yet her nightmare refused to loose its grip so easily. The tightness in her shoulders and the stiffness in her legs resisted his entreaties.

With her wrists held in one hand, he used the other to deliver long, sweeping caresses. “Shall we see what we might do about these difficulties, hmm?”

Firm, heavy strokes mapped all he could not see: the strength of her ribs, the subtle hollow in the curve of her hip, the slight swell of her stomach as she breathed. Alice needed the security of possession, not the teasing touches of foreplay, a delightful discovery their relationship had manifested for her.

Cupping her breast, he added pressure until a soft sigh tumbled from her lips. Her nipple pebbled under his palm.
