Chapter Nine

“Ahh! Ahh! No! Stop! For God’s sake—stop! N…oo!”

“Keane, darling, honey, wake up! Wake up! Keane!” Becca switched on the lamp next to the bed, leaned over and shook Keane by the shoulders.

“No! Stop! I’m an American—you won’t get away with this. My men would make you pay for this—stop!”

She watched helplessly as Keane’s naked body flailed around wildly on the bed, his entire body covered in sweat. His eyes were closed, and his lips were contorted in pain. God, he was having some sort of nightmare. She thought.

Becca got on top of him and took his face into her hands. “Keane, honey, it’s okay. You are just having a bad dream. Open your eyes honey. It’s okay. I’m here with you. Hushed, honey, it’s going to be alright.”

She brought Keane’s head up to her naked breasts to comfort him.

“N….oo! Stop!” Keane lashed out at her, knocking her off the bed and onto the floor.

Becca let out a frightening scream as she landed on the floor, her head barely missing a side of the large antique dresser.

Her scream must have gotten to Keane because he was at her side in no time.

“Oh, my god, Becca! Are you alright?” He pulled her quickly into his arms and held her.

“Yes, I’m fine.” Becca tried to shrug him off. “Are you okay?”

“Forget about me.” Keane’s hand went up to the red mark on her left cheek and he caressed the bruise with his finger. “My god, Becca, did I do that? Oh, my God!” He pulled her closer and buried his head in her bosom. “I’m so, so sorry,” he moaned, holding her, rocking her back and forth. “God, Becca, I’m so sorry,” he cried. “I didn’t mean for any of it to happen.”

“I know it was an accident, Keane. I know you didn’t do it on purpose. You were having a bad dream.”

Keane gave her a stunned look. “I was?”

“Yes, you were honey. You sounded as if you were in pain. You were yelling some things and fighting off whoever you thought were after you.”

“Oh.” He looked as if he didn’t remember. “I’m sorry that you had to experience any of it.” He held her tightly.

“Keane, honey. You didn’t sound as if you are alright.” Becca slipped out of his arms and turned to look at him. “You were in pain, honey.” She reached up and caressed his damp hair, pushing the long blond strands away from his wet forehead. “Do you want to talk about it?” Becca reached for his hand and held it in hers. “I know enough to know that this wasn’t just a bad dream.”

Keane gave he a wane smile. “We should go back to bed.” He pecked her on her cheek. “I promise to take you shopping tomorrow, remember.” He smiled at her.

“I’m not here to judge you, Keane. I love you too much. It doesn’t matter to me what happened, I just want to know so that I can help you.”

“And I love you, too.” Keane kissed her full on the lips.
