The Enforcer's Daughter

Very Sore

Chapter 12

(Very Sore)

Tori was glad she’d showered but was still completely worn out by the time she reached Lord Gregory’s mansion with her father. Since the blonde woman hadn’t been angry Warner had elected to drive her back himself.

Slowly Tori got out of her father’s Dark Green Suburban. With the rush of adrenaline gone she was beginning to feel sore. Warner put his arm around her and walked her to the door. They didn’t even get to knock as the door opened to reveal Nancy.

“Tori!” Nancy said and hugged the blonde woman.

“Hi Nancy.”

“Oh I’m sorry,” The brunette woman apologized hearing the girl softly hiss. “You must be so worn out. Come sit by the pool and…”

“Tori get in your swimsuit. Sitting in the hot tub will help.” Looking at Nancy he added, “She may, need help changing.” The brown haired woman didn’t hesitate and immediately started heading up the stairs with the enforcer’s daughter.

“Come on in Warner,” Trevor called seeing him. Warner didn’t hesitate and closing the door joined the dark blonde man. “Mary drinks please,” Trevor said passing a servant. They walked outside and sat down at a table near the pool.

“I understand you were really rough on her,” Drake commented from the side of the pool.

“I was more than rough. I was a complete assumption,” He said quickly changing his word as he saw Teresa suddenly approach. Drake looked at Warner funny for a minute before smirking as he realized he has stopped himself from cursing in front of the lord’s granddaughter.

“Auntie Tori home?” Teresa asked clearly hopeful.

“Yes but she’s probably really tired. No jumping at her okay?” Trevor told the little girl.

“Okay,” Teresa said not hiding her disappointment.

“Come on Teresa,” Lady Kendra said getting out of the pool. “Let’s get you dressed.” Taking the carrot top’s hand she led the little girl away.

“Warner, good to see you,” Lord Gregory said walking up. Warner got up and the two men shook hands. “How’s Tori?”

“She’s pretty worn out,” The enforcer admitted. He gave a half smile and added, “There are some pretty disappointed enforcers though.”

“She didn’t do well?” The lord inquired.

“Tori was exceptional. They’re disappointed she won’t be joining the ranks,” Warner informed them. “I threw everything at her. She’s even stronger than I expected.”

“Where is Tori?” River asked walking out.

“She’s getting changed. The soreness is starting to set in. Some ice and then a soak in the hot tub will do her a lot of good,” Warner told him.

“I’ll get the ice,” River said and headed back inside.

Warner and Lord Gregory both raised an eyebrow as the lord’s son abruptly rushed away. Almost in unison the two fathers looked at each other. Hearing a chuckle however their eyes went to Drake.

“I feel as though we’re missing something,” Lord Gregory commented.

“River’s fallen in love with Tori,” Trevor informed the two men. He smiled seeing both father’s look a bit surprised.

“Okay you could have warned me I’d start hurting this much, this fast,” Tori complained as she walked out with Nancy.

“River went to get you some ice,” Warner told his daughter. “Lie down on the lounge chair and ice for a little while and then you should hit the hot tub.”
