Chapter 3

After I calmed down, Happy and Juice went out to the back deck to let Janie and I talk. "How did you and Juice get past it after your attack?" I asked. "Juice let me have complete control when it came to intimacy. He let me set the pace, let me control how far we went. I slowly started pushing myself forward. It didn't take long for me because I felt like I had that control over myself and my own body. That might be what you need." she tells me. "I don't know if Happy would do that for me." I say. "He will. Just talk to him. He can't help you if you aren't talking to him and telling him what you need." she says and I think about what she says.

A little later, Juice and Janie leave and it's just me and Happy. He sits on the couch next to me and asked "How'd your talk go?" I sigh and say "She was telling me that it might help me if we take things at my pace. She told me what helped her was that Juice let her take complete control of how they did things intimately. She said it might help me feel like I have more control over myself and my body." I tell him. "That what you want to try?" he asked. "If you are willing to but I understand if you need to find that release with someone else. I get it." I tell him. "That ain't gonna happen. I ain't gonna be with anyone else but you. If you feel this is what you need then I am all in." he tells me. "Okay." I say.

That night, Happy is in the shower and I decide it's not or never. I walk into the bathroom and start undressing. I slip into the shower behind him and rub my hands up his back to his shoulders. He lets me explore his back for a minute before turning around and kissing me softly. I push him back against the wall and he moves one hand to my hip to hold me close and the other is tangled in my hair. I deepen the kiss and I feel his hardened member pressing against my leg. I pull away from the kiss and say "I need you." He turns me towards the wall and picks me up. I put my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. His hands are on my ass holding me up while he enters me slowly. He begins to thrust in and out at a slow and steady pace. "Faster Happy. Please." I beg. He begins to thrust faster and harder until I feel myself reaching my release with him right behind me. We take a minute to catch our breath and he kisses me softly and says "Fuck babe." I just sigh into his shoulder. "Thank you." is all I say before he puts me down with a soft kiss to my lips. He gets out of the shower and dries off while I shower off and then holds out a towel for me to walk into when I get out. We don't bother to get dressed. We just head to bed and lay next to each other. "Are you okay?" he asked. I look at him and smile softly and say "Getting there."

I slept through the night. No nightmares. No terrors. Nothing. I woke up the next morning, snuggled into Happy's chest, his arms around me tight. I slide out of bed and into the kitchen to start the coffee and breakfast. My phone was on the counter and started going off. I see a number I don't recognize and answer anyway. "Hello?" I answer. "Hello Lacey." I freeze at the voice on the other end of the line. "What do you want, Luke?" I asked. "I thought since Chris up and left that maybe me and you could have a little get together. I miss my favorite party favor." he says. I hang up the phone and slide down the wall as another panic attack hits me full force. I can't breathe. Just as I start hearing Happy's voice everything fades to black.

I wake up and I am in a hospital room with Happy sitting in the chair beside me, holding my hand. "Happy?" I say. "Hey baby. You're awake." he says. "What happened?" I asked. "I came into the kitchen and you were having a panic attack and passed out." he says and then I remember the phone call. I pull my hand from his and turn my head away from him. "Hey. Talk to me." he says, turning my head back to look at him. "Can you get Janie?" I asked. "Yeah babe. I'll be right back." he says. A couple of minutes later, Janie walks in. "Hey girlie. What happened?" Janie asked. "I had a panic attack and passed out." I say. "Do you know what triggered it?" she asked. "I got a phone call from one of Chris' friends wanting to see me. Said he missed his favorite party favor." I say as I start sobbing again. She pulls me into a hug and says "No one will touch you. I am getting them to release you to my care and we will take you back to Happy's house." she says and I just nod. "Get dressed. I'll be just outside." Again I just nod.

"How's she doing?" Happy asked Janie. "Not good. Apparently one of Chris' friends called her wanting to see her. Called her his favorite party favor." Janie says. "Get her phone. I'll see if I can trace the number and find out about this guy. We won't let him near her." Juice says. Janie walks back into my room and I am dressed and ready to leave. "Where's Happy?" I ask. "He's right outside the door." she tells me. I walk out the door and right to his arms. "I got you baby. No one will touch you. I promise. I got you." he says as he rubs his hand up and down my back. He leans down and kisses me softly and I start to calm down.

Walking into the house, Juice asks me for my phone. I hand it to him and he takes down the number that Luke called from. "What do you know about this guy?" Happy asked. "His name is Luke Talley. He was Chris' best friend. Works for a small construction company that's run by his dad but he used to spend a lot of time at our house. Even when Chris wasn't there, he'd find a reason to be at the house. Finding reasons to touch me. Chris knew and said I was to do whatever he wanted even if he wasn't there." I say, looking down at my hands. Janie takes my hand and squeezes it. "It's okay. We got you." she tells me. I glance up at Happy and I can see he's pissed off. I excuse myself to the bedroom and sit down on the bed. Happy follows me and sits next to me. Taking my hand, he softly rubs his fingers over my knuckles. "I won't let him hurt you." he says. "I know you won't. I trust you." I say. "I don't want this to change the progress we've made. You're still my girl and I'm still yours." he says. I look at him and see he's looking at our hands. I lean over and kiss his cheek and he looks at me. He puts his arm around me and pulls me to him and I let him. I finally gave myself to Happy and I'm not letting this knock me back. I kiss him softly and say "Let's get this bastard." He smiles at me and we head back out to the living room. Janie looks at me concerned and I nod to the kitchen while Happy and Juice talk.

Once in the kitchen, Janie asks, "Are you okay?" I smile a little and say, "Yeah. I took your advice last night and I slid into the shower with him. I finally was able to give myself to him on my terms and I won't let Luke knock be back from that. I refuse to." I say. "Good. I'm happy for you babe. Now, I saw the look on your face when you left the room." she says. "I'm good. We talked and we are in this together. He won't let anyone touch me. I belong to him and he belongs to me. Period." I say with a big smile on my face. Janie pulls me in for a hug and we walk back to the living room to see what Juice has found out.
