Ghost of you

caught in the middle

Dani

*adult content ahead*

After we got back to Vegas I picked Oliver up but Zak seen the bruise on my face and immediately grabbed Dakota by the shirt and was about to hit him before I stepped between them

Dani: he isn't the one who gave me the bruise...

Zak: whoever hit you deserves to get the same thing.

Dakota: my dad hit her.

Zak: and why didn't you protect her Dakota?

Dani: enough Zak, my son is here, can you not act like this in front of him?

Zak: okay... so what happened?

Dakota: he kicked me out and I brought everything I own.

Zak: I'm not understanding why he kicked you out or put his hands on my sister

Dani: because he doesn't want us to be together.

Zak: you two worked together, what do you mean when you say his dad didn't want you two being together?

Dani: we are dating Zak...

Zak: I'm happy for you both...

Dakota: I know that we talked about me leaving the crew and starting my own show but I was wondering if I could start working with you guys again.

Zak: I was wondering if you would return and you're lucky that I haven't told the owner that you was quitting the show.

Dani: what exactly did you tell him...?

Zak: I told him that Dakota wanted a few weeks to go see his family...

Dakota: there's only one problem...

Zak: what would that be...?

Dakota: there's no place for me to sleep when we are on the road.

Dani: don't worry about that Dakota, we will think of something.

Zak: we will talk more tomorrow, you two get some rest.

After I put Oliver in the car seat, I drove to my house and took my son out of the car while Dakota unlocked the door. I walked to my room and put Oliver in his bed and covered him up before I helped Dakota carry his things to the spare bedroom.

Dani: I know it doesn't look like much but it should be big enough for you and your things.

Dakota: it will be good for what I have in mind, thank you for letting me stay here Dani.

Dani: you're welcome Dakota, if you need anything during the night my room is at the end of the hall.

Dakota: come here...

I walked over to him and felt him gently grab my face and look at the bruise. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed out the ice pack in the freezer and wrapped a rag around it.

Dakota: let me watch over you tonight.

Dani: you want me to stay in your bed tonight?

Dakota: well not for that reason, I want to keep the ice pack on your face while you get some rest.

Dani: you need to get some rest too...

Dakota: I'm not much of a sleeper when I have things on my mind.

Dani: you shouldn't stay up all night worrying about me.

He didn't say anything else as he closed the bedroom door then sat down on the bed and gently pulled me towards him after he grabbed my hand. I felt his soft lips on mine as he carefully ran his hands inside my shirt and unfastened my bra before he pulled it away from my body and out of my shirt and dropping it on the floor next to the bed, He slid up into the bed more. He pulled my shirt over my head and threw it in the same spot where my bra was with my bottoms following next, He was sitting up and I sat on his lap whe we started kissing again when I felt him gently slide himself inside me. I tried ignoring the pain but I haven't had anyone make love to me in over 5 years which was the night Oliver was conceived, the pain of feeling Dakota inside of me made me cry out. I was scared of having a repeat of what happened to Alex happen to Dakota because I couldn't go through that again.

Dani: I'm scared Dakota...

Dakota: don't be scared, I'm not going to disappear.

Dani: I don't want the same thing happening to you like it did with Oliver's dad.

Dakota: that's never going to happen.

I had become a slave to his every desire as we got tangled up in the sheets and the only sound that could be heard was our heavy breathing along with me softly moaning his name until he finally finished filling me up. I felt him lay down next to me and wrapped his arms around my chest and I heard those three little words being whispered in my ear as I slowly fell asleep.

Dakota: I love you...
