Her Lost Soul 2

Chapter 21

I wake up in bed as something feels off. "Flynn," Riley whispers. I'm laying on my back, that in itself is odd when my girl is with me. "Flynn."
    I roll over so I'm hugging her from behind. Why is she awake? "What's wrong?"
"I think I had a nightmare. But I don't remember." She turns in my arms and buries her face on my neck. A nightmare? The only time she's had a nightmare with me is when she thought I'd leave her.
"You're safe, baby, I'm here. I love you." I reassure the best I can in this sleepy state. I rub her back in the hopes it will lull her back to sleep. "Sleep, baby."
    Why is she having nightmares? I'm too tired to worry about it now as I drift back to sleep. I wake to someone yanking on my arm. "Flynn," Riley whines.
     I grumble, "Not yet." I still need sleep.
      "Flynn." She tries pulling me some more but there's no way I'm moving yet. I feel her breath fan across my face. "I want you to accompany me in the shower." My eyes fly open, she has my full attention now.
    Maybe she can get me out of bed right fucking now. However, sex is just as good in bed than the shower. I wrap my arms around her and bring her on top of me. I quickly pin her beneath me. "Hmm, what's wrong with right here?"
I flex my hips into her to let her know I'm already hard for her. She giggles but groans in pain. I doubt she's taken her meds yet. "Because I need a shower. Maybe, if you're too tired I'll find different company."
    I growl, what fucking company? Like Riccardo? He's the only other guy in the house who's not family. Why does she do this to me? If she wants a fucking shower, she will get one.
     I climb off the bed and haul her onto my shoulder. I slap her backside for that comment. "Don't make me jealous," I growl. I carry her out my room and into the bathroom.
     I walk into the shower and turn it on. She squeals as the water pours on us. "Flynn, we still have clothes on."
"Oh, I know, you're wearing too many clothes." I slide her slowly down my body so she can feel how hard I am for her.
    I prize her soaking wet top over her head. I drop it on the floor. I kneel in front of her and shimmy her shorts and panties down her legs.
     I stand up and slide my boxers off. I step out of them and I spin her around and crush her against the wall.
    I hear her pants as she anticipates my next move. I slide her legs apart with my feet. I hold my cock in my hand and hold it against her entrance.
    She whimpers when I don't bury inside of her. She can't say things like that and expect me not to retaliate in someway.
    Once I can't take anymore I press the tip inside her and grab her hips after I brush the hair out of her face. I need to see the whole of her face. I thrust hard into her and she whimpers.
"Is this what you wanted?" I hiss. I start a slow rhythm.
"I want harder and faster, Flynn." Fuck me, she's as insatiable as I am. I give her what she wants. I pound into her. I love make love slowly, I love fucking her like this. Both are equally pleasing.
     I love that she can take me like this. I'm not being gentle but her face is full of pleasure. Her mouth hangs open as her cheek is plastered against the wall. "No matter how many times I claim you it's never enough. You feel so good." She sticks her ass into me more and I groan when I bury deeper inside her. "You're mine, don't joke about finding someone else because it pisses me off."
"I know, it works though." Bloody hell, she knows how to get what she wants. I growl as she bites her lip as if to contain her amusement.
     I kiss her cheek and keep pressing soft kisses until I reach her soft neck.
"Little minx." I pull out of her and she whimpers. I'm not done yet baby. I spin her around and lift her up. She wraps her legs around me as I thrust into her warm pussy.
     She gasps and then coughs. I still inside of her. She makes me forget that she's poorly. She continues to cough. "Ri."
"Don't stop," she begs. She tries sucking in a breath but ends up couching. I pull out of her and set her down. "No."
"You know I can never control myself around you. He said you needed rest." I'm not fucking her in the shower anymore. Not when she keeps cough. She starts washing herself. I wait patiently, I need to take her to my bed and fuck her there.
     Where she doesn't need to put much effort in. I decide to wash myself whilst I'm here. When she's done she leaves my in the shower.
    Where is she going now? I rinse my body and turn the shower off. I grab a towel and notice she's already left the bathroom. What the hell?
     I secure the towel around my waist being careful with my hard on. There's only one way it's going down. I walk to my room and turn the handle. The door doesn't budge.
She locked the door again? "Ri! Stop locking me out of my room!"
I don't know why I keep saying my room. It's ours now. "Go away." I've had enough of locked doors so I ram my body against it and the door slams open.
"Well, at least now you can't lock me out anymore." I close the door and realise I've made the lock ping off. Oh well.
    I grab her meds and make my way to the bed. I sit her up and slide the heart tablets in her mouth. I pass her some water and she swallows them down.
    I give her the pain meds and antibiotics next. It's like a damn pharmacy in here. "Now, shall we finish what you started?"
"Huh?" she snaps.
"Well, I don't know about you but I need to get rid of this hard-on."
"But you said. . ." What did I say exactly? I didn't say I wouldn't fuck her. Is that why she left?
"No, I never said I wouldn't fuck you. You left before we could compromise." She frowns as if she doesn't understand, "If you promise to keep still and let me do the work then we're good? Right?"
"No, not good, how is that fair? I can reciprocate. I don't know what it would be like. . . you know to not move again." She shuts her eyes in pain. I cup her face, she trusts me to do this. She's just stubborn.
"Come on, girls kill to not put effort in." Her eyes fly open to glare at me. "Alright, calm down. You know you only have to say stop and I would, you can trust me. If you don't want to then that's fine. I'm not forcing you."
"I want to but your overprotectiveness is so stupid." Pfft, hardly.
"It's not stupid. I've seen you walk into the sea, I've seen you raped, I've seen your ex hold you at gunpoint and there are still many more. I have to be protective or I could lose you."
"You won't lose me if you let me love you. It's a chest infection, not a disease that will kill me." I sigh, she doesn't care about risking her life. Yeah, it's a chest infection, a chest infection can lead to pneumonia. Pneumonia can kill you.
"Is this what you want then?" She nods. "Then you have it." I'm not letting her exert too much energy. She can either deal with it or tell me to stop.
    I unhook our towels and I gently eases into her and she groans. I grab her hips and hold her as still as I can. I rock my hips and rest my forehead on her chest.
"Flynn."
"We both know I can make us both come without your input." I latch onto her nipple with my lips and teeth.
"It's not the point." It is the point, she needs to be careful but I can't deny her of sex. It's the only way I find acceptable. I give her other nipple some attention.
"I see this will have to be quick. You're so stubborn." She's not happy with this so I speed up my thrusts. I'll have to overwhelm her enough for her to forget that I'm holding her still.
   I feel her legs shake and I know she's close. I crush my lips to hers to muffle her sexy noises. There's no lock on the door after all.
     She sets me off as she pulses and I groan into her mouth. I rest my body on her good side. Once my cock is soft I climb off her. She grumbles."As much as I'd love to stay here all day with you, we need to get up."
"No." It's her turn to be sleepy. I have no idea what the time is. I kiss her forehead and climb off the bed. I pick my phone up and pull the charger out. 9.06.
    I find some clean clothes on the chest of drawers. Abigail has obviously done some washing. I'll have to thank her later. I put on some clean clothes.
    I search for some clothes in her bag. Leggings and a top. Way more comfortable than the jeans she wore yesterday.
    Once she's fully dressed, with another of my hoodies, I contemplate carrying her. She was in a right mood yesterday so I think it's best to give her a choice. "Am I to carry you or?" She groans as she sits up. She holds her ribs and I see it's the hard way again.
     She gets to her feet and I put my arm around her to support her. I'd rather carry her but I don't want to fight today.
    When we reach the bottom of the stairs she starts coughing again. Fucking hell. I leave her to go into the kitchen. Miley is helping Abigail again. Hayden is sat at the table reading something.
     "Flynn! We're going to the zoo today." I raise my eyebrow, we are?
     Hayden laughs, "Tyler swore. Miley wanted to go to the zoo." I laugh, he never learns. Abigail passes me a coffee and I thank her.
     "Pop's says there will be Zebras and lions and giraffes." She frowns as if she's deep in thought. "And bears, and pandas."
     I take a sip waiting for her to name more but she seems to be finished. "That sounds fun," I agree. She's going to have a lot of fun. It's going to be good for her.
   She claps her hands in excitement and I go to check on Riley. When I walk into the living room I frown. Riley is fast asleep on Tyler. He's covered her in a blanket. "So, the kid blackmailed me to go to the zoo." I smirk, he's an absolute idiot. I sip my coffee. "Riley wants to stay at home."
    "Then I'll stay with her." It's not an option to leave her.
    "You have to go. Miley won't enjoy it if one of you aren't there." I know but what can I do?
    "No, bro, I'm not going. If she's not going then I'm not." Riley grumbles and clutches to Tyler.
"Everyone off the couch," Tyler orders. It was only Ruby on this couch with them and she quickly does as he said. He lowers Riley onto the  couch and she grumbles again. "Outside now," Tyler growls.
    I follow behind him, I'm not going. There's nothing he can say to make me go. He abruptly turns when he's outside. He closes the door behind me. "Miley needs this, Flynn. She may frustrate me like fuck but she's a kid and needs to do normal things. She so excited to go."
    I sigh. "I know but Riley needs me too."
    "No, she doesn't. I've already spoken with her. She really wants you to take Miley to the zoo. She knows she needs to rest. She can't walk around the zoo."
    Why now is she choosing to rest? She makes no sense. "Bro, she's going to lounge around watching tv. Riccardo isn't going so I'm going to give him cash to look after her. Tell him the rules."
    I glare at him. "I don't trust him to look after her. No one can, Bro."
    "If she gets out of line he can call us. You're being ridiculous." I don't trust him to be around her when she's alone.
     "Once I've laid out the rules to him, if I feel like he's going to listen, then I'll go." He rolls his eyes but nods.
     "I'll bring him out." I nod, I'm not happy with this but my hands are tied. I'll have to threaten him enough. She's vulnerable when she's poorly.
    I sit on a chair on the deck and wait for them to come out. Once they do they both take a seat. "Right. Rule number one. You keep your hands to yourself. She's mine."
    He laughs. "Alright."
    "Number two, watch her at all times. She's sneaky, she needs to rest." He nods, "Number three, no leaving the house. You'll need to try get her to eat because she won't on her own accord. No heavy lifting, if she gets out of hand, call me. If she does get out of hand, don't touch her."
    Tyler rolls his eyes. "Is that everything, Bro?" I shrug, they're the main points. I can't think of anymore right now. "You understand?" he asks Riccardo.
     He nods, "No touching, watch her, get her to eat, no leaving the house, no heavy lifting. Make sure she rests. Doesn't seem too hard."
    Tyler and I laugh and he raises his eyebrow. "Yeah, you obviously don't know my sister." He slaps some notes in his hand. "She's hard work."
    I get up and make my way to my girl. She's still snoozing on the couch. I cup her face and press my lips to her forehead. "Baby?"
"Shh, tired," she whispers.
"I don't want to leave you." It's actually going to be impossible.
"I only trust you with my daughter, please. I don't feel up to going and she needs to go Flynn. She needs this."
"I know, doesn't make it right that I have to leave you." I nuzzle my nose on her cheek.
"I'm just going to be here watching TV, or most likely snoozing. I'll be here waiting when you get home." We'll, that's pretty obvious. I kiss her lips.
"Good, I love you." Now I had better go tell my demon sister. I leave the room and she's helping Abigail in the kitchen. Ruby is trying to keep her occupied too. "Smiley?"
     She looks over at me with a smile on her face. "Mommy isn't come to the zoo with us. She's still a bit poorly but we're going to have fun right?"
     She starts crying and I groan. "Hey, big girls don't cry, do they?" Ruby wipes her tears away. "We're going to have so much fun and we can find lots of ways to annoy Uncle Tyler."
     I raise my eyebrow at her. She's brilliant with her. I look around the room and I'm surprised he's not here. "Uncle Tyler says bad words and I get good things."
    Ruby taps Miley's nose and she giggles. "Uncle Tyler is silly." Yes, he really is. "Why don't you go see your Mommy."
    She nods and Ruby helps her off the side. She runs out the room. "Fucking hell, if Tyler doesn't marry you one day I'm going to kick his arse."
     Ruby blushes as she smiles. "She's a sweet kid."
     "When Riley is around. She's actually a demon when she's not. Where is Tyler anyway?"
      "He's popped to the shop to get Miley some sweet." I roll my eyes, he just doesn't bloody learn. I don't need her hyperactive.
      I kiss Abigail's cheek as I pick up some bacon. She slaps my hand and I laugh. "Five minutes, Flynn and it will be ready." I quickly shove it in my mouth. "Anyone would think I starve you."
     "You do, five minutes is a long time when I'm wasting away." She tuts and shakes her head. "I love you." She grabs a tea towel and hits me with it. I laugh loudly and move out her firing line.
     "Get out the kitchen." She shoos me out the way.
     "You'd better do as she says, son." I plonk in a seat at the table.
     "What you going to do about it, old man?" I raise my eyebrow at him.
     He chuckles and looks at Ruby. "You'll soon get used to the mad house."
     "It's not a mad house. It's family, she will soon get used the family," I correct. "Because let's face it. You like picking up strays, old man."
     He laughs again. "That is true. However, we don't pick up any strays. Only those that a deserving." I snort and he raises his eyebrow.
     "Was James deserving?" I question.
      He glares at me. "He wasn't family. Not yet at least. I didn't see him as a son."
      I hear the front door open. "Breakfast everyone," Abigail announces. I'm first on my feet and in my chair at the table. Miley runs in and climbs on my lap.
    Tyler dumps the sweets on the table and Miley grabs them. I take them off her and she screams. "You're not having sweets for breakfast. You can take them for the car journey."
     I glare at Tyler. He could have waited to give them to her. Abigail and Ruby come in with the plates. Tyler holds his ears as he sits down.
     "Miley! Stop screaming." She throws her body about on my lap and I struggle to hold on to her.
     "I want my sweets! Uncle Tyler gave them to me! I hate you." I know she doesn't mean it but it still hurts to hear it. "Uncle Tyler, tell him!"
     "Kid, I'm not talking to you when you're hurting my ears." Miley doesn't stop crying and screaming and it's driving me insane.
     I stand up and deposit her in Tyler's lap. His eyes widen and he grabs her hips to stop her falling. "You can deal with her. You gave her the sweets."
      He can't just give her what she wants when she wants. "Kid!" he shouts.
      Ruby sits down and tries to take her but Miley screams more and clings to Tyler. "Told you, she's a demon. Don't take it personally."
      Abigail sits down. "Miley Archer. Enough. Eat your breakfast or you're not going to the zoo."
     "No! Uncle Tyler promised. We're going to the zoo. Uncle Tyler!" She wraps her arms around his neck and he holds his hands out.
     Abigail glares at Tyler. "Kid, if you stop screaming then I'll buy you a toy at the zoo."
    I groan and slump in my chair and put my hands on my head. "Tyler!" Abigail scolds.
     She stops screaming and looks at his face. "You'll buy me a toy at the zoo? Anyone I choose?" She sniffs and wipes her eyes.
     "Yeah, as long as you don't scream for the rest of the day and eat your breakfast." Riley is going to be pissed if she finds out he's bribing her.
      "He's going to be a great father figure," I grumble. "Good luck is all I can say Ruby."
      "Shut up bro. Go sit with your brother and eat your breakfast." She faces forwards but doesn't move.
     "No, I want to eat with you Uncle Tyler." He groans and I pass him her food. She starts scoffing her face.
     "Where's Riley?" Abigail asks.
     "Mommy is tired," Miley mumbles with her mouthful.
    "I'll make her eat once I've eaten." I start eating now that Miley has settled down.
    "Flynn, Ruby's pretty isn't she?" Miley asks.
    Hayden laughs and I glare at him. How to put this tactfully? Fuck. "Why don't you ask, Uncle Tyler that question?"
     She turns her head and looks at Tyler. "She's pretty, isn't she Uncle Tyler?"
     "She's very pretty, kid." He kisses Ruby's cheek and she blushes.
     "Like Mommy. Mommy's pretty too, isn't she Uncle Tyler." Tyler grumbles.
     "Why don't you ask Flynn." He rolls his eyes and Miley turns and frowns.
     "She's pretty, isn't she, Flynn."
     "You're confusing her, guys," Abigail scolds. What? Tyler's not really going to say his sister is pretty just like I can't really say Ruby is.
      "I think Mommy is beautiful like an Angel." She claps her hands and giggles.
      "Angel. My Angel," she agrees. Angel stealer. I don't bother arguing with her, she is a kid after all.
      Once I'm finished I take Riley's plate and carry it into the living room. She's absolutely adorable when she's asleep. "Ri, I'm not going to let you skip a meal so I don't know why you even try."
    She grumbles, I settle the plate on the table as I lift her up and climb in behind her. She turns on me so she's laying on her stomach. "Just don't move if you're going to lay like that." I grab the plate and hold a pancake to her mouth and she groans. "Ri, come on. You need to eat more. You're wasting away."
   She sighs and opens her mouth. I shove it all in. I've seen her shove half a burger in her mouth. She can handle a pancake.
She nuzzle her nose on my chest and I growl. She chews and swallows and then her breathing shallows. Fucking hell, she's hard work.
    At least she ate something I guess. I slide the plate on the table. She's a nightmare at the moment with eating. She's a nightmare in general lately. I swear she never used to be this hard work. Once she let me in that is.
    I stroke her hair as she sleeps. Maybe, I should stay here. There's no way that Riccardo can handle her. I'll be too far away if she needs me. "Bro, you're going. I can see it written on your face."
    I look at him leaning up against the doorway. How long has he been stood there? "She's vulnerable whilst she sleeps, what if she needs me?"
    He rolls his eyes, "She's fine. What she wants is for you to take care of Miley, whilst she temporarily can't."
    "I know but it doesn't make it, right." She always does what's best for others, not herself.
     "We're getting ready to leave. Just you wait, you'll find her in exactly the same spot when we return." I grumble.
    "Ri, we are going."
"Okay, have fun," she whispers. I lift her up and settle her back down. I make sure she has a pillow underneath her head and kiss her head.
     I walk into the kitchen and Abigail is packing a rucksack. "I've packed water bottles for us and some snacks incase, Miley gets hungry. I've also made sure there's a sandwich in the fridge for Riley."
     "I'll eat it when we return. Good food shouldn't go to waste." I know she won't eat it. I can hope but there's no way she's eating without me. She sighs, she is such a good mother and Riley doesn't always appreciate her.
    I kiss her cheek and take the bag from her. I slide it on my shoulder and head to the front door. I slide on my shoes and I call Miley.
     She sits on the stairs and put on her wellies and coat. I do my best with the hat and then gloves. "No. Ruby needs to do my hat. You do it wrong."
     I groan as she yanks the hat off and holds it out for Ruby. I roll my eyes and leave the house. I open the back door of Tyler's car and wait for Miley.
     The snow is starting to melt but it's still white everywhere. Miley comes jumping out the house with Ruby and Tyler. She has her sweets in her hand. Maybe I should tell Riley, she will beat his ass.
     I help Miley into her seat and strap her in. I walk around the back of the car and chuckle as I see his sticker. I climb in the back as Tyler and Ruby gets in the front.
     Tyler follows Abigail and Hayden. He's going to come with us to the zoo but then he's going into work for a couple of hours.
     It takes an hour to get the zoo. I text Riley before we get out the car.
     ME- Please keep me updated. I hate leaving you. X
RILEY- I'm fine, stop fussing. Is Miley okay? X
ME- She's so excited but she wishes you were here as I do. X
RILEY- Me too but I couldn't have done it. I know my limitations. X
ME- Hardly, you normally do them anyway. X
   RILEY- Then it must mean I am really sick and in a lot of pain. X
      Fucking hell. If I knew that then I wouldn't have left. "Bro, she's really poorly and she's hurting."
      He sighs, "Yeah, I know. She told me. She told me not to tell you or you'd never have come."
      "Of course I wouldn't. Maybe I should head back." He gets out the car and walks to my side.
      He yanks my door open. "No you're not. You have no way of getting home. Just a couple of hours, Bro. She can cope." I groan, I'm here now.
ME- What? Then I'm coming home. X
RILEY- Calm down. I'm fine. Miss you already. Have fun. X
ME- Miss you :( X
I help Miley out the car and I hold her hand as she jumps up and down as we walk. Yeah, she needed this. I don't think I've ever seen her this excited, even before.
      We make it to the counter and Hayden pays for everyone and we head in to the zoo.
      It takes us around an hour to walk around the whole thing. Miley kept squealing with excitement with every animal we came across.
      She alternated between us all of who was carrying her or lifting her up to see. We've just sat down in the cafe to eat. Abigail takes her to the bathroom as I look at the menu.
I tell Hayden my order and I head to the bathroom. It just doesn't feel right without my girl with us.
