Her Good Looking Badass
Jane poured herself a cup of coffee and sat at the breakfast bar. She’d been working hard all week on her dissertation and felt like a well-deserved break was in order. She and her mother Erica had been alone ever since her dad moved away—that was ten years ago. His excuse was that “it was to further his business, just temporary, for the good of the family,” but once the letters stopped coming Erica knew the reason.
Jane’s mother was a rare breed, hardworking, diligent and a real go-getter. Her passion and desire to excel spilled over into every facet of her life, including parenting. She was strict and kind in equal measure and Jane had never felt like she lacked anything compared to other children. When she looked back at her childhood all she remembered were happy memories. Just her and her mom. Erica’s parenting had paid off and Jane was at the top of her class in high school and college. She was now studying law and was in her final year. Erica hadn’t done too badly either. She managed to fight her way up the ranks in an accounting firm and was soon to become an associate. It was safe to say that Jane and Erica were a success in life.
The only real difference between Erica and Jane was that Erica had a man. Since John, Jane’s father, left Erica, she had never really hit it off with anyone else. She had dates here and there but they never amounted to anything. That was until she finally met the man of her dreams at work. He had been a part of Erica and Jane’s life for many years. They had visited each other’s homes on a few occasions when Erica was still with John. However, whereas Erica had at least tried to date before her recent luck, Jane felt like she had yet to meet someone who met her criteria. A combination of a refined upbringing and excellence in every part of her life meant that she could never compromise when it came to finding a mate.
“Make sure you’re ready for tonight honey,” said Erica as she came into the kitchen.
She poured some juice with one hand whilst still on the phone with the other.
“Tonight?” asked Jane in confusion.
“Sam and his son are coming.”
The confusion on Jane’s face melted away to reveal a look of disinterest.
“Great, can’t wait,” she said sarcastically.
“Oh behave, they’ll only be staying for a week, anyway, Sam’s your father now so show him a bit of respect.”
“I know, I know, but his son Aaron.”
“Yes, I know, best not to get too close, just keep the conversation light and formal and you’ll be fine.”
“Okay mom.”
Jane hated Aaron. Every time he came to visit, he would always end up making her cry. When they were younger, he would break the heads off her Barbie toys, or rip the pages from her textbooks. As he got older, he became more and more mischievous and he had a knack of knowing which buttons to press to make her annoyed and upset in equal measure. Still, there was no getting away from it, she was going to have to face them and just soldier through it.
The faster they arrive, the faster they leave, the faster I can get on with my life, she thought.
As soon as she finished her coffee there was a knock on the door. It was Jane’s friend Amy.
“Hi Jane. You ready?”
“Yup.”
They both left the house and walked down the road.
“How’s the dissertation going?”
“Good,” replied Jane.
“How about you, how’s your art course going?”
“Oh it’s really fun; I’m loving every minute of it.”
“I still don’t know why you took that course Amy. Your grades were as good as mine, you could be a lawyer, accountant, doctor, but art? Where’s the future in that? I just don’t get it.
“I dunno, it just seems fun, I wish I had a better reason but I don’t. I guess I just got tired of crunching numbers all day, the prospect of doing it for the rest of my life made me wanna crawl up into a ball and drown myself.”
“Jeez,” said Jane, “that’s a little melodramatic Amy.”
She laughed. “Yeah, I guess, but you get what I mean right?”
“Not really, I think we’re just different you and I.”
They walked passed a liquor store where a few young guys were standing outside. As soon as they saw the two girls they got up. Some of them began wolf whistling.
“Just ignore them,” said Jane.
They walked passed and one of them slapped Jane’s ass. She screamed and turned around with an angry expression on her face.
“Which one of you did that? That’s sexual harassment; did you know I could have you arrested?”
The group of men began to laugh.
“Look at the posh girl, all high and mighty.”
One of them walked up to her. He was topless and wore a huge medallion around his neck.
“Hey baby girl, how about you and I go behind the store and I show you a real good time.”
“In your dreams,” replied Jane and walked off with Amy.
The men kept whistling and shouting obscenities until she and Amy turned the corner.
“God I hate that place,” said Amy.
“Me too,” replied Jane. “I hope they demolish it one day.”
They kept walking until they arrived at the local café and they took a seat next to the window.
“So you found a guy yet?” asked Amy.
“Nope too busy.”
“You’ve been saying that ever since I met you.”
“Well it’s true.”
“You gotta give it a shot Jane, do you really wanna end up alone?”
“There’s nothing wrong with living alone. My mom did it and she turned out fine didn’t she? Besides men are like leeches.”
Amy almost spat out her coffee but managed to control herself just at the last moment.
“You’re gonna have to explain that one to me.”
“I mean they take up your time, your money, make you sacrifice your own life, they get jealous and need constant reassurance, it’s much easier just owning a pet.”
Amy burst out laughing.
“You’re gonna change your tune once you meet the right guy.”
“Is that what happened when you met Jack?”
“Pretty much,” replied Amy.
They sat there for almost an hour and caught up. Gossiping on which of their old schoolmates was getting married and which was getting divorced. While Amy chatted away on the most recent bit of news, Jane received a text from her mom;
Need your help with cooking for tonight.
“Great.”
“What’s wrong?” asked Amy.
“Oh I totally forgot to tell you, guess who’s coming round for dinner tonight?”
Amy shrugged her shoulders.
“Aaron and his dad.”
Amy started laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“The look on your face Jane, it’s worth a million bucks, you look like you’d rather have your skin peeled and roll around in salt.”
“…Well I guess that’s one way to put it.”
Amy was suddenly lost in thought.
“Aaron, Aaron, now why do I know that name?”
“He’s my stepbrother, you met him once, remember?”
“Really?!”
Jane sighed as if this would be the millionth time she would have to explain it to her.
“We were fifteen, we went to the forest, remember?”
Amy still had a blank expression on her face, so Jane continued.
“He put a frog down your panties?”
“Ahh!” said Amy jumping into life, “That Aaron. Man he is such an asshole, I’m glad I’m not the one meeting him.”
“Jee, thanks,” said Jane sarcastically.
“Just be polite and you’ll be fine,” said Amy.
“that’s exactly what mom said.”
“Well then your mom is one very smart lady.”
Jane smiled.
“Well I better go and help her for the inevitable torture.”
“Oh lighten up Jane, it’s not death row.”
“Oh so you wouldn’t mind swapping places.”
“Not in a million years.”
Jane and her mom prepared dinner until they finally heard the doorbell.
“Can you get that Jane?”
“Do I have to?”
Erica gave her a stern look, which meant yes.
She opened the door only to find a longhaired man standing there smiling at her.
Jane was relieved that it wasn’t Aaron and his dad, she was grateful for the precious few Aaron-free minutes she got. She glanced at the man and judged from his appearance that he was a door-to-door salesman or something of that nature.
“Whatever you’re buying we’re not interested thanks,” and with that she started to close the door.
“Janey?”
She froze immediately. She knew that voice and she knew that name, nobody had ever called her that, nobody except Aaron.
But it couldn’t be, she thought.
She slowly opened the door and looked him up and down. He had long hair and was clean shaven. He was tall, and was wearing a pair of ripped jeans and Doc Martin boots. There was nothing about him so far that was anything like the Aaron she knew. She glared at his face and strained her eyes, as if trying to claw through deep forgotten memories, trying to match it with something, anything. He was manlier, more butch, but the eyes, she could tell from those, those were the giveaway. They had a twinkle. Jane knew it well. It was the same look he got when he had successfully ticked her off when she was younger. She was sure now, but part of her still couldn’t believe it.
How could he have changed so much? She thought.
“Aaron? Is that you?”
“Well who else did you think it was knucklehead?”
Yup, it’s Aaron alright.
Nobody else would insult her so casually, especially not in the first five seconds of meeting.
“Well aren’t you gonna say hello? Or has the cat got your tongue?”
“H…hi…how are you?”
Aaron started laughing.
“What’s wrong with you? Honestly you’ve always been weird. You’re supposed to invite me in? y’know, cos, that’s what normal people do.”
“Oh yeah please come in.”
He walked passed with a smirk still plastered across his face. As he came in Jane was still frozen in the same spot. She noticed that there was a bag in front of the door.
“Oh by the way be a dear and bring my bag in would you?” asked Aaron. “There’s a good girl.”
Jane finally snapped back to reality.
If he think’s I’m his personal bellboy he’s got another thing coming.
She walked in and saw that Aaron had already made himself at home. He had his feet up and the TV on. Jane came and stood in front of the TV.
“D’you mind?” he asked.
She didn’t budge and just glared at him.
“Sorry love, got a bad back, you’ll have to get it yourself dear.”
With that, she stormed upstairs. She sat on her bed for a few moments and then screamed into a pillow. All the memories that she’d long forgotten came flooding back. He could still do this to her. Still make her feel small, useless. After a few moments she sat back up. She decided to go back downstairs.
You can do this Jane, don’t let him get to you. You’re a strong woman.
As she came back down she noticed he was on the phone and had his head buried in the fridge.
“Yeah babe, I told you, I’m in town for a few days, so if you wanna hookup just let me know.”
Babe? Few days?
Jane couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Is he thinking of staying here for a few days?
She decided to confront him again. She stood behind him and waited. He hung up and turned around.
“Oh Janey, I didn’t see you there, wassup?”
“Who were you talking to?”
“Oh, just one of the many chicks that are crazy about me. Why? Jealous?”
Jane could feel herself losing it again but managed to maintain control.
“I see,” she said. “How long are you planning on staying?”
“Oh I don’t know, guess I’ll play it by ear.”
“You told that girl you’d be here for a few days, I hope you’re not planning to stay here for that long, if you did then I think you’d better start looking for other arrangements.”
“Woah, hold your horses Janey. “First of all, why are you eavesdropping on my convos? And secondly, how long I stay or don’t stay isn’t up to you is it? It’s up to mom.”
“I wasn’t eavesdropping, you were in the kitchen, and I don’t think my mom is gonna agree to your staying even for one night so good luck with that.”
Aaron smiled.
“I missed this Janey.”
He is actually enjoying this? Jane thought.
Before she could say a word Erica rushed in and gave Aaron a big hug.
“Sweety how are you? It’s been so long! I missed you, Where’s your father?”
“He was a little too busy. Hey mom I got something for you.”
“For me?” asked Erica with a shocked expression on her face.
Aaron handed her a small gift, pink and wrapped box. She opened it immediately. It was a posh box of chocolates.
“Oh, you shouldn’t have honey.”
She hugged him again and kissed him on the forehead. Aaron looked at Jane and winked. He had her wrapped around his little finger and he wanted her to know. She knew what was coming and she knew what her mom would say. All she could do was watch as a spectator on the sidelines.
“So how long are you in town Aaron?”
“Oh well, I’ll probably go to a motel tonight and stay there for a few days.”
“Don’t be silly,” said Erica. “You’re staying here.”
“Here? No way, I couldn’t possibly put you out like that mom.”
“It’s not open for discussion, I won’t hear anymore about it. You’re staying here and that’s final.”
“Okay, if you insist.”
He smiled and then looked at Jane again.
“It’ll be nice to spend some time with my favorite sister.”
“Ah so sweet, what a darling you are,” said Erica.
What an asshole, thought Jane.
“Jane can you come and help me in the kitchen?”
“Yeah, that’s right, run along Janey, I’m hungry,” said Aaron once Erica was far away enough not to hear him.
Jane gave him the middle finger and then went to grab some plates.
Later that day they all sat and watched TV. Erica began to yawn and rubbed her eyes.
“Well kids, I’m going to bed, don’t stay up too late.”
“Okay night mom,” said Jane.
“Yeah night mom,” repeated Aaron.
Jane didn’t react, and instead continued to watch her mom as she left the lounge. Once she was out of sight, Jane went and sat next to Aaron.
“Look, I don’t know what you’re doing here and quite frankly I don’t care, but please don’t hurt my mom again, cos if you do, you’re gonna have me to deal with.”
Aaron laughed.
“You call that a threat Janey? I’ve got more menace in my little finger.”
“It’s not a threat, it’s a warning. Now I suggest you go to bed.”
She didn’t wait for him to reply, she just went to her bedroom and waited. She didn’t hear a sound.
What’s he waiting for? She thought.
She was about to get up and check on him when she heard the front door close. She quickly ran and opened it, just in time to see Aaron walking off down the road.
Oh you’re not getting off that easy.
She grabbed her jacket and followed him. She kept a safe distance so as not to alert his attention. Her curiosity began to peak.
Where is he going at such an hour? He didn’t use his phone so it couldn’t be a girl he was meeting. What else could it be?
He walked under a bridge and then put his bag down. Jane hid behind a pillar not far from him and watched. He crouched next to his bag then looked around to see if the coast was clear. Then he took out a spray can and started spraying the wall.
Graffiti!? Excellent, I got him. Mom is gonna go bananas when she finds out.
She waited almost an hour and once he finished and left she walked up to the scene of the crime. She took out her phone and snapped a photo as evidence. As she did so she realized just how beautiful it was. The picture was of a large multicolored dragon circling the globe. She was taken back by just how intricate the picture was. She never realized that so much time and effort went into graffiti art. She slowly walked home thinking about Aaron. She had never met anyone quite like him. He got under her skin in a good way and bad. She felt a strange kind of attraction to him. It was unlike any she had experienced before.
But none of this makes sense, she thought.
He wasn’t well educated, nor did he have any etiquette to speak of. However, there was something about him, a passion, an aura. It made her curious, to find out what it was, to just be around it.
The next day she decided to confront him.
“Morning Aaron.”
“Yeah whatever,” said Aaron in disinterest.
He walked straight passed her into the kitchen.
“Did you have a nice time last night?”
“Yeah great. Blonde this time, in case you were wondering.”
“I know exactly where you went, that kinda lie might slide with mom, but not me.”
“What are you talking about Janey? Where do you think I went then smarty-pants?”
She took her phone out and showed him the photo she took the night earlier. It took him a while to focus his blurry eyes on the screen but once he did, he almost gasped.
Yes finally, she thought.
For the first time in her life she had left him speechless.
“So what? You’re gonna show mom that I do graffiti? Big deal?”
“Well you’re certainly gonna lose your ‘good boy’ image, and that’s a start,” replied Jane.
“Okay, well, you knock yourself out honey. I’m going back to bed.”
He isn’t phased at all, she thought.
Jane let out a sigh of frustration and walked out. As she reached the front door she saw Amy standing there.
“Oh what are you doing here?”
“Haha surprise!” said Amy. “I was just walking passed and I thought I’d visit.”
Just then Aaron turned up at the door.
“Hey, who’s this hot babe?”
Amy’s jaw dropped. She was totally speechless. Before Aaron could continue, Jane interrupted.
“Come on Amy we’re leaving.”
“Nice to meet you Amy,” said Aaron as they walked off. “Call me.”
“Close your mouth Amy, for god’s sake.”
“Was that Aaron?” asked Amy. “Wow he has really grown up into a hotty huh?”
“You’re disgusting,” replied Jane.
They both headed to the mall and spent a few hours trying on clothes and buying makeup. Once Jane headed back home it was already late. Her mom usually went to bed around eight so Jane thought that she was probably sound asleep for the last few hours. She tried to be as quiet as possible and once she came in she was suddenly heard the sounds of someone screaming. She quickly ran into the lounge and saw Aaron fucking a blonde girl she’d never seen before. He was grabbing her hair and pounding her doggystyle.
As soon as they saw Jane they immediately stopped.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Jane we didn’t see you there,” said Aaron. “Jane this is …erm…”
“Lucy,” said the woman who was still trying to get dressed as quickly as possible.
“Lucy, right, Jane this is Lucy, Lucy this is my stepsister Jane.”
Lucy extended her hand fully expecting Jane to shake it.
“Don’t touch me,” said Jane. “Just get out.”
Lucy did as she asked. Aaron casually began to get dressed. Even though Jane was still angry, she couldn’t help but stare at his physique. He was muscular and adorned with tattoos all across his torso. She looked down at his cock, it was still erect and larger than Jane had imagined. She quickly turned her back to him.
“Can you please hurry up and get dressed?” asked Jane. “Have you no humility?”
Aaron smiled.
“Hey I’m not ashamed by what god gave me, I know you wanna look, I don’t mind.”
“Don’t be so disgusting, you’re my brother, even if you weren’t I still find you repulsive as a human being.”
“I’m your stepbrother, and I saw you staring, I’m not blind y’know.”
He walked passed her and grabbed some juice from the fridge.
“How could you bring a total stranger into this house and where did you get the balls to have sex while my mom is sleeping upstairs?”
“Oh get off your horse miss high and mighty. Just ‘cos you’re not happy and got a silver spoon stuck up your ass doesn’t mean you can dictate what others do. People like you make me sick.”
“I make you sick?” asked Jane. “Where do you get off? I’m not on some self-destructive path, I’m trying to do something with my life. And that silver spoon up my ass you’re talking about? It’s called having principles, a backbone, but I wouldn’t expect a spineless guy like you to understand such stuff.”
“Okay, as fun as this has been I’m going to bed.”
Aaron went upstairs leaving Jane standing in the kitchen by herself. She couldn’t believe the way he was acting, but what was really getting to her was his complete lack of remorse. She felt like there wasn’t an ounce of shame in his entire body.
She thought there was no point working herself up into a frenzy so she decided to go to bed too. As she laid there, she started to think about Aaron. She couldn’t get the image of him fucking Lucy out of her head, she started to imagine that he was fucking her instead. The thought of this started turning her on and she began to get wet. She plunged a finger into her pussy and moaned as she did so. After she came she collapsed onto her bed, totally exhausted. She closed her eyes and drifted off. A few minutes later she woke up, there was a voice coming from somewhere outside her room. It was too mumbled to make it out and it didn’t sound like her mom so she went to investigate. She realized it was coming from Aaron’s room. She slowly pushed the door open and listened.
“…Mona…,” moaned Aaron.
Who’s Mona? She thought. Probably just another notch on his bedpost.
She went back to bed.
The next morning Jane woke up early and decided to wait for Aaron in the kitchen. To her surprise, he was already up and making breakfast.
“Hey honey, want a pancake?”
“Erm…sure,” replied Jane, a little taken back by the whole thing.
“Don’t look so surprised, I do have a nice side you know.”
She didn’t reply and just sat down at the breakfast table. He put a couple of pancakes on her plate.
“Syrup or honey?” he asked.
“If you think being nice to me is gonna stop me from telling mom about your antics last night then you’re sorely mistaken mister.”
“Oh sis I’m hurt that you think I would sink so low.”
He sat down and joined her. He took a large bite and then smiled straight at her.
“So when are you gonna hook me up with Amy?”
“Who’s Mona?”
Aaron’s smile disappeared.
“How do you know about her?” he asked.
“I have my sources. So who is she? A chick you banged that meant a lot to you or something? Did she use you?”
Aaron looked down at his plate.
“Don’t ever talk about Mona again, understand?”
There was a strong determination in his voice that made her hesitate. Before she could recover and continue to torcher him, which was her plan all along, he walked off.
Jane was confused. It was such an intense reaction that it must have been more than just a girl. As she was lost in thought her mom came downstairs.
“Morning Jane, I just saw Aaron on the stairs, what’s wrong with him?”
“Oh my fault I’m afraid.”
“Why what did you do?”
“I heard him talking in his sleep last night that’s all.”
“Ah, was it Mona?”
Jane was surprised.
“How do you know Mona?”
“When he was a child and he stayed over, I heard the same thing,” replied Jane’s mom.
“Who is she?” asked Jane.
“Mona was his mother.”
”Was?”
“She past away when Aaron was born, I think he still blames himself for it.”
“Oh no that’s terrible,” said Jane.
“Yeah, but at least he’s got us right,” said Jane’s mom with a smile.
Guilt began to swell up in Jane’s heart. She felt so terrible for treating him so badly ever since he arrived.
”Oh honey aren’t you supposed to be meeting Amy today?”
“Oh crap!” said Jane. “I totally forgot.”
She had promised Amy that they would meetup early today and she rushed off.
“Hi Amy sorry I’m late,” she said as she arrived at the library.
“Oh don’t worry, Eric’s been keeping me busy.”
“Eric?” asked Jane.
There was a tap on her shoulder and she turned around. A tall man in a pinstripe suit stood there smiling at her.
Oh god not Eric, she thought.
Eric was a guy who had been trying to date Jane for the past few years, but Jane had turned down every one of his requests. They would get more fanciful and elaborate each time with the most recent one being a hundred balloons delivered direct to her house by singing telegram. No matter how hard he tried though, Jane couldn’t help but feel that he was just plain creepy, and the more he pushed the creepier it felt. The only way she could get him to back down and stop hassling her was once she threatened to phone the cops.
“Oh hello Jane,” he said. “It’s been a while but always a pleasure.”
“Stay the hell away from me,” replied Jane.
“Oh calm down, it’s just a coincidence bumping into you here.”
“Yeah, a coincidence, and pigs fly.”
“There’s no need to be so rude Jane. Besides, I have no interest in you, I haven’t had for some time now. You, my dear, need to get over yourself. Anyway I’m leaving.”
Jane watched to make sure he left the library, then she looked straight at Amy.
“What?” Said Amy in an innocent voice.
“You know what, why the hell were you hanging out with him?”
“He just came up and started talking to me,” replied Amy. “Anyway he seems like a nice guy now, maybe you should give him a second chance.”
“A second chance? He’s a psychopath, trust me. He might sound like all sweetness and light right now but he’ll turn in an instant. The further away you stay from that guy the better.”
“Okay, okay I got it,” replied Amy.
They spent a few hours studying for a while until Jane looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Aaron walk past just a few feet in front of them.
What’s he doing here? She thought.
She decided to follow him again. He walked into the art section of the library and then stopped at the shelf labeled ‘painting’. He flicked through one of the books on the shelf then went and sat down at a table close by. Jane came up behind him and looked over his shoulder.
“Van Gogh huh?” she said.
He turned around.
“Oh hey Janey, I didn’t see you there.”
She came and sat beside him. She noticed a sketchpad on the table and started to flick through it. There were pencil sketches and colored drawings of animals on some of the pages and real life drawings on others. Near the end of the pad were drawings that were similar to Van Gogh in style. She was amazed. She never realized that he was so serious about drawing and painting. She just thought that he was a graffiti artist, someone who likes to take risks. She never really considered that he would be pursuing it as an art form.
“You’re drawings are amazing Aaron.”
“Thanks.”
“Listen, I’m sorry I brought up Mona. Mom told me all about her. Nobody deserves to have their mom taken away from them. It must have been terrible not to know your mom.”
Aaron smiled.
“Well that’s very sweet of you to say Janey. To be honest, I blamed myself for a long time. I guess I still do to a certain extent.”
Jane’s heart broke. She realized that she’d been reading Aaron all wrong. She felt like he was a waste of space, lazy and ungrateful. But now she felt a new found respect for him. She decided to let him into her life. To take a chance, after all he was family.
“Why don’t you join me and Amy.”
“Sure,” replied Aaron.
He followed her to their table and sat down.
“Hi Amy.”
Amy was speechless. She just sat there with her mouth open. It wasn’t until Jane nudged her that she finally had the courage to speak.
“Oh Hi Aaron long time no see.”
“You don’t remember her do you Aaron?” Asked Jane.
Aaron looked at both of them with a puzzled expression on his face. Jane continued.
“Do you remember the forest?”
“Ah, yes of course, the little whiner. Well ,well, well you’re all grown up now huh.”
Amy giggled like a giddy schoolkid and Jane shook her head.
“So what are you guys doing here exactly?” Asked Aaron.
“We sometimes come here to just study and chat,” replied Amy. “What brings you here?”
“Aaron is studying art,” replied Jane excitedly.
She took Aaron’s sketchpad and handed it to Amy. Amy looked through the pages with great curiosity.
“Wow, I never realized you were so skilled.”
“That’s not the only thing I’m skilled at,” said Aaron with a wink.
Amy giggled again and started to go red.
“Okay, Okay that’s enough Aaron,” said Jane. “But I do have to admit that I was surprised to learn that you’re interested in art too.”
“Yeah, I’ve always been into it. At first I used it as a therapeutic tool as a child, but over time I enjoyed it so much that I would draw night and day if I could.”
He pulled one of the books away from Amy and read the cover.
“Hmm ‘Law and Judgment Volume 2’ it sounds so interesting. So I guess you’re the person to go to when I need to know the time before I do the crime.”
“You dare, and Amy if he ever approaches you ring me,” said Jane.
“Jeez what a party pooper,” said Aaron.
Jane’s phone began to vibrate, it was her mom.
Could you pick up some milk on your way back?
“I gotta go guys, I’ll see you later.”
She left Amy and Aaron in the library and rushed off to the nearest grocery store. Once she got home she decided to stay and study a little. After a few hours passed she realized that Aaron hadn’t returned home. She texted Amy.
Are you still at the library?
There was no reply.
That’s strange, she thought. She almost always replies immediately.
It was getting late and she decided to sleep. She almost dozed off when she suddenly heard her phone ring.
“Hi Amy, jeez took your time didn’t you?”
There was no reply on the other end.
“Hello?” asked Jane.
Suddenly she heard a voice that was all too familiar.
“Hello Jane.”
“Eric? But how did you get my number?”
“I have my sources.”
“What do you want Eric?”
“You know what I want, it’s only one thing, it’s only ever been one thing, you.”
“Look, I’m sorry that I don’t have feelings for you Eric, I really am, but this has got to stop, if you call me again, I’m notifying the cops, you got that?”
Eric hung up and Jane went back to bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow she heard the phone ring again. She was suddenly filled with rage, that was until she looked at the caller ID and noticed it was Amy.
“Hi Amy, where have you been?”
“Sorry I got a little held up. Meet you tomorrow at the library again?”
“Sure,” said Jane.
Once she hung up she thought for a while. Something just didn’t seem right. She heard the front door close and she went downstairs to take a look. It was Aaron.
“Had fun did you?” she asked him while she sat at the top of the stairs.
He looked up at Jane and smiled.
“There’s something I wanna show you Janey.”
“You do know what the time is right?”
“Just stop complaining and follow me will you.”
Jane did as he asked. She still felt some regret for the way she had treated him so she almost felt like she owed him. Once she was dressed, they walked up the road.
“So where are you taking me?” asked Jane.
“It’s a surprise.”
“Well I don’t like surprises.”
“Trust me, you’ll like this one.”
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a hill and once they got to the top, Jane was confused.
“Okay, so now what?”
Aaron didn’t answer and just laid down.
“Erm what are you doing? Have you gone completely crazy?”
“Just copy me,” said Aaron, still smiling.
She decided to do what he asked again and laid down on her back. She finally looked up and saw what looked like a million stars above them. She gasped.
“It’s so beautiful!” said Jane.
“I told you you’d like it.”
She looked at him, deep into his eyes, and he looked right back. She wanted him, she was aroused by his creativity and passion, and this was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for her, so she began to get wet again. She kissed him, and suddenly they both began to kiss and grope each other violently.
“Aaron I want you to do me like the dirty girl I am.”
As soon as she finished talking he slapped her on the ass and she squealed.
“Harder.”
He slapped her again, harder and she screamed even louder. His hand left a red mark on her asscheek. He began to fuck her doggystyle, just like he did with Lucy. He grabbed her hair and started ramming her as hard as he could. Jane’s whole body began to shiver and shake, and her eyes rolled over. She could feel his breath on the back of her neck, his strong, manly hands gliding across her arched back. It sent a shiver up her spine. She had never been treated like this, it was so rough, just like she imagined it would be with him. He began to kiss her neck and she smiled.
After they both came, they sat there and looked up at the stars. Jane watched Aaron closely. Even though she knew about his mother, his past was still a mystery to her.
“Don’t you ever wish you could float away? Just keep floating ‘til you’re so small you look like a star to the rest of the people down here who look up. That’d be cool.”
“Are you high?” asked Jane.
He burst out laughing. Probably. High on life that’s for sure.
“Y’know, I always thought you were a bad boy.”
“Whatever gave you that idea?” he asked.
“Well, from what I hear you’ve been in and out of prison so many times that my mom lost count, you have sex with anything in a skirt, and you vandalize public property.”
“Woah, anything else you wanna add to that list?”
“Yeah, and you can be a real asshole.”
He started laughing again.
“But you wouldn’t just have sex with a bad boy, especially if he was your stepbrother, so you must have changed your mind right?”
“Yeah, you’re right, I did change my mind.”
“So what do you think about me now.”
“I think you’re deeper than I gave you credit for. You had a tough life, and you’re interests are, well, interesting. But the jury’s still out.”
“Why?” he asked.
“Because you’re still an asshole sometimes.”
They walked back home holding hands, still looking up at the stars from time to time.
The next day she woke up early and jumped out of bed. The thought of seeing Aaron soon was making her excited already. She went to his room and knocked on the door. There was no answer.
Maybe he’s having breakfast? She thought.
She went downstairs but he was nowhere to be seen. She thought about where he could be, but drew a blank. She decided to go and study in the library. When she got there, she sat at the table that she and Amy usually sit at, and began studying. After a few moments, she went to get a book and as she walked past the rows of bookshelves, she heard moaning. It got louder and louder the closer she came to the ‘Law’ section of the library. In-between one of the rows of bookshelves she finally found the source of the noise. It was Amy.
She was standing bent over with her face towards Jane and her panties were pulled all the way down to one of her ankles. Aaron was fucking her from behind and she moaned every time he plunged his cock deeper. Jane gasped and Amy looked up. She froze in fear.
“Hi J…Jane,” said Amy whilst still being fucked.
Aaron stopped and looked up. He and Jane made eye contact for a few seconds. Tears started to swell in Jane’s eyes and she quickly ran off sobbing.
“Jane wait, I can explain,” said Aaron as he ran after her, still in the process of pulling up his pants.
“Go ahead, fuck my best friend, just leave me alone.”
She took her stuff from the table and left.
How could I have trusted him? She thought. And Amy! What a bitch! Some best friend she turned out to be.
As soon as she got home and sat down she felt her phone vibrate. It was Amy apologizing and asking to meet. Jane dismissed the message and put her phone away.
God what an asshole, she thought. How could I let him use me just like all the other girls. Just another notch on his bedpost.
Her thoughts were interrupted by another message on her phone. This time it was Eric.
I am at The Tavern bar if you change your mind about our relationship.
Normally she wouldn’t have replied. Every time Eric managed to find out her cellphone number, she would ditch it and buy a new one. It was the easiest way to get rid of him. But this time was different. She was in a vulnerable state. This time she decided to reply.
I’ll be there in an hour.
When she got there, the bar was almost empty. There were a few guys who looked like truckers sat at a table in the corner. Jane scanned the room and saw Eric sitting at the bar smiling at her and she walked over.
“I was beginning to think you weren’t gonna show up,” he said.
The bartender came over.
“Two martinis please,” said Eric.
“Ah, you still remember what I drink,’ said Jane.
“Of course, I remember everything about you.”
“Oh that’s so sweet.”
She felt like it was creepy, but tonight was different. Tonight she wanted to be with someone who loved her intensely, that would do anything for her. But most of all, tonight she wanted revenge. She took a sip from her martini and listened to Eric talk about how successful he was at his latest job. She watched his lips and began to zone out, his voice became inaudible and everything went blurry. She fainted.
When she came to, she woke up to find herself in an apartment she’d never been in before. She didn’t recognize any of the furniture but saw a window to the far left of the room. She tried to get up but her arms and legs wouldn’t move. She looked at them and found to her horror that she’d been strapped down to the bed.
“Don’t struggle Jane, the ties I’ve used will only get tighter the more you struggle so try to stay as calm as possible.”
Jane recognized the voice.
“Eric? What are you doing? Why are you doing this?”
“Because I love you Jane, I’ve loved you my whole life. Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I knew I had to have you.”
“Eric this is crazy, don’t do this, you’re a nice guy, I know that, it’s not too late, you can just untie me and we can talk.”
Eric laughed.
“I’m not stupid Jane, I wasn’t born yesterday. I know you wanna escape, it’s only natural. But I’m afraid I can’t untie you until you know.
“Know what?”
“Until you know how much I love you.”
“Believe me I know how much you love me, but tying me up doesn’t really help your cause now does it?”
“Nono, you don’t understand Jane, you will never know how much love I have for you until I show you. That was the mistake I made last time. Once you experience true, ultimate love with me, then you’ll finally understand.
He took off his clothes and walked towards her. His body was covered in tattoos. A dragon was wrapped around his whole torso and there where skulls on fire inked on his chest.
Jane started to panic again and tried to wriggle free.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m not gonna hurt you.”
“Wait, please, just wait. Why don’t you untie one of my hands?”
“Oh come on Jane.”
“I’m serious, if you’re gonna show me what true love is, I wanna at least be able to touch you. Your face, your body. Women have needs too Eric.”
She was bluffing but it worked.
“Okay, but no funny business Jane, understand?”
“Of course,” she replied.
He came closer and untied her right hand. The minute he did, she punched him square in the mouth. He staggered and then collapsed onto the floor. Jane was shocked.
Wow what a lightweight, she thought.
She began to untie her left hand. She was almost done when she suddenly saw Eric standing over her.
“That was a nice shot Jane, now you’re gonna have to be punished.”
Jane began to scream as he tied her hand back up, this time a little tighter than before.
“You make me so angry sometimes Jane. Why do you resist me every step of the way. I guess we have to compromise when we’re in a relationship but you do realize that I’m gonna have to dole out some strict punishment right? He stood there and looked at her for a while.
“I’m gonna leave you alone to think about your actions. It’ll also give me time to decide the best punishment that fits the crime. You’re gonna learn one way or another Jane.”
A feeling of dread descended on her.
I’m never getting out of here, she thought. I’m gonna die in this place.
She closed her eyes and resigned herself to death. She pictured her mother’s face. Then she thought back to Aaron as he fucked her—his manly chest, muscular shoulders.
Aaron, I wish you were here right now.
She opened her eyes and looked out of the window. He was just like she remembered, he smiled and waved. She knew it was her imagination but she wished so much that he was real, that he would come and save her. She watched him as he tapped on the window.
Wait a minute; figments of your imagination don’t tap on the window! She thought.
Aaron it’s really you! She shouted.
He forced his elbow through the glass and it shattered. Eric had heard all of the noise and came rushing in.
“Who are you? Get outta here.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” said Aaron.
Eric picked up a baseball bat he had hidden behind the door and swung at Aaron. Aaron ducked and backed away.
“I don’t wanna hurt you,” he said.
“You don’t wanna hurt me?” replied Eric. “I’m pretty sure I’m the one holding the bat.”
He swung again, this time it connected with Aarons shoulder, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Aaron no!” screamed Jane. “You monster!”
Eric smiled and came towards her.
“I guess that was your little hero huh? Pathetic.”
Jane saw Aaron getting up. He grabbed Eric’s shoulder, swung him around and punched him. Eric was out cold this time. He looked over at Jane and smiled.
“Miss me?”
He started untying the bindings on her hands.
“Wait, stop!” said Jane.
“What is it? What’s wrong?” asked Aaron.
“How do you feel about doing a woman who’s tied up?”
“Is that what you’re into Jane?”
She just smiled at him. He didn’t need another invitation and lunged at her, kissing her passionately. He climbed up onto the table and took off his pants. Jane watched as he stood over her. His cock swinging just above her. She marveled at it. It was huge and erect. A line of precum dripped out and onto her stomach.
“Stick it in my mouth.”
Aaron did as she asked and bent down with her head between his legs. He stuck his cock in her mouth and she immediately started licking his head. She could feel the salty precum as she lapped it up and tried to move her head forward in order to deepthroat him. She managed to go halfway and held her head there. Aaron moaned in pleasure and started gyrating his hips causing his cock to go in and out.
After a few moments he pulled his cock out of her mouth and got off the table. He walked over to the other side and buried his head in between her legs and began to flick his tongue on her swollen clit. Jane began to tremble, No guy had ever done this to her before, and Aaron seemed to be pretty good at it. Her pussy was yearning, aching for his large cock and it was driving her crazy.
“Fuck me Aaron, stop teasing and just fuck me!”
Aaron smiled, he knew exactly what he was doing. He teased her until she couldn’t take it anymore and then pushed his cock deep into her pussy. She gasped as he did and then froze like a contorted statue. Aaron felt her pussy clench his cock and saw her thighs trembling from the overload of pleasure. Jane had never experienced such an intensely pleasurable orgasm before and she was loving every second of it.
He gently began to fuck her, first just entering with the tip of his cock, then going halfway. She moaned with pleasure. The fact that she was bound to the table heightened the experience. It made it feel more dangerous, more thrilling. She didn’t want him to stop.
He began to fuck her faster and faster and she watched as the glistening sweat dripped from his body and onto her. He kept going until they both came violently. He remained on top of her and looked into her eyes.
“I’m sorry about fucking Amy, I realized I love you and wanna be with you. I won’t cheat on you again.”
“Thanks Aaron, that’s really sweet of you, but could you untie me now?”
Aaron sat for a moment with his finger on his chin.
“Aaron?”
“Let’s give it a minute,” he finally replied.
THE END
