���It���s because of our history, you miss being told what to do Brody, by me. You are to be submissive to me and if not I will punish you by whatever means necessary,��� Elizabeth said calmly.

  ���Elizabeth, I get part of what you���ve lived through and can���t bring myself to imagine the rest. But it���s your choice to change. You have a family who loves you. A new beginning and you could be whoever the hell you want to be. Come on, we all put our asses on the line for you,��� Brody pleaded.

  ���And that���s why I know you need me, you want me,��� Elizabeth said in a seductive tone.

  ���For God sake Elizabeth she���s your sister! What the fuck are you trying to pull?���

  ���She���s no more my sister then they���re my parents, the only one I feel a connection to is Lexi, she���s part of you and you were mine, and will be again,��� Elizabeth said with warning.

  ���You need to get help Elizabeth, I���ll talk to Henry and figure something out. I���m Emma���s always. Lexi���s connected to you through her, she���s your blood. Those people love you and have grieved your loss for years, they want you in their lives. They want YOU in their lives,��� Brody said sweetly.

  ���Cut the shit Brody, it���s not who I am ��� or you for that matter,��� Elizabeth laughed.

  ���Sit your ass down now! You have one of two choices here, get some fucking help or stay the fuck away from my wife and children,��� Brody snapped.

  ���Who do you think you���re talking to?��� Elizabeth asked. ���Your ass should be at my feet begging forgiveness right now, waiting and wanting punishment for your very inappropriate behavior.���

  ���What you don���t understand is my ass is not fifteen years old anymore, I���m not a child!��� Brody growled.

  ���I���m very well aware of that, don���t you remember?��� Elizabeth purred.

  Brody laughed, ���Um no, I was drugged, I remember waking up and someone on their knees. I certainly wouldn���t call that willing or wanting.���

  ���You���ll be begging before I let you touch me again,��� she seethed.

  ���Not going to happen, what���s wrong with you? Get help, Elizabeth,��� Brody said pleading.

  There was no more conversation. Emma scrambled to her feet and set Lexi in her crib and ran down the stairs. She turned the corner and walked quickly to the living room, ���Where���s Brody?���

  ���In the bathroom cleaning himself up,��� she sneered.

  ���Why is that?��� Emma asked crossing her arms in front of her.

  ���I got him a bit messy,��� she smirked.

  ���Why are you doing this to me?��� Emma asked sincerely.

  ���I haven���t done anything to you,��� Elizabeth said looking away.

  ���You���re my sister, who was gone for so many years, who���s lived through hell and I���ve loved you for all those years. I���ve watched our parents die inside and slowly heal because they had to, for me. You may think I���ve had it easy Elizabeth, but I���ve grieved your loss in some way or another for all those years. Please, I beg you, please stop doing this to yourself,��� Emma wiped away tears that fell down her cheek.

  ���You���re afraid of losing him to me.���

  ���No Elizabeth ��� not at all. You don���t know him. God…you don���t even know yourself, how could you? Elizabeth I look at you and want to hold you and hug you and fix all of this for you. I look at your beautiful niece and wonder how the hell you survived all of that when you were younger than her. You have no idea how many times I dreamed of you coming home Elizabeth, and having a sister and parents who weren���t broken anymore. I want you in my life and you want to punish me and I don���t know why.��� Emma began to cry.

  ���Pull yourself together, Princess,��� Elizabeth snickered.

  ���No YOU, damn it! ��� Emma cried, ���Please!���

  Brody ran into the room and grabbed Emma and held her, ���I think we���ve had enough for one night, Henry!��� He yelled.

  Henry and Caroline walked into the living room and looked back and forth between their daughters, ���We should leave,��� Henry said. ���Caroline. I���ll meet the two of you in the car.���

  ���Emma, your mother and I went in to say good night to Lexington, she���s still asleep but I have no idea how she slept through all that. I���m sorry, I love you Emma,��� Henry hugged her. ���We have a lot of work to do, please know whatever you need, we���re still here. Don���t push us away. Goodnight Brody.���

  * * *

  ���Are you alright?��� Brody asked softly.

  ���Yes,��� Emma hugged him.

  ���How did they know?��� Brody asked.

  ���Does it really matter?��� Emma said and buried her head in his chest.

  ���Emma look at me,��� Brody said lifting her chin.

  ���No, I���m tired…can���t we just go to bed?��� Emma asked pulling away.

  ���Em, what���s going on?��� Brody asked.

  ���I���m not going to answer that. I���m tired and emotionally drained,��� Emma turned to walk away.

  ���Alright let���s go,��� Brody kissed her head.

  ���I���m going to get a drink, I���ll meet you up there,��� Emma yawned.

  ���Okay, I can wait if you wish,��� Brody said looking at her searching to see if she was angry.

  ���I���ll meet you up there okay?��� Emma squeezed his hand.

  * * *

  Emma crawled in bed and Brody walked out of the bathroom, ���Talk to me Emma, you haven���t even asked what happened, I know you have questions.���

  ���Can we talk tomorrow? I���m tired. I���m not angry with you Brody. I love you, we���re going to be fine,��� Emma hugged him and laid down.

  ���So will we be sleeping?��� He asked.

  ���London has school tomorrow, we can play all day,��� Emma said softly and rolled over and laid her head on his chest.

  ���Oh, okay,��� he said and softly rubbed her back and head.

  Emma smiled and kissed his chest, ���I love you.���

  ���I love you.��� Emma looked up at him resting her chin on her hand, ���Everything alright?���

  ���Yes,��� she whispered and put her head back down.

  He continued to rub her back and she looked up again, ���You should probably lay still.���

  ���Why?��� Brody asked with a smile creeping across his face.

  ���You know why,��� Emma blushed and scowled at him.

  ���Em, I know you���re tired but I know you want me,��� he smiled, ���So why are you denying both of us?���

  ���It���s always epic.���

  ���And that���s a bad thing?��� Brody smirked.

  ���Oh no, not at all ��� but I���m very tired,��� Emma whined.

  ���What are you asking Em?��� He asked as his hands floated down her back and he stopped at the small of her back.

  ���I want you, but I want you in like thirty minutes and not an hour.���

  ���Forget it then,��� he said trying to hide his amusement.

  ���Brody you���re exhausting, maybe I could just finish with you once and not five or six times before you,��� Emma asked as her hands lowered on his
stomach.

  ���Nope,��� he said, his tone smug.

  ���Fine, goodnight!��� Emma turned over.

  Brody laughed out loud, he moved his body closer to her, ���I���m ready, but my concern is I might hurt you.��� He reached his hands around her waist and pushed his fingers under her panties. He lightly stoked her clit and she moaned and pushed into his hand as she rolled over on her back and slide her panties down.

  ���I���m ready, and I want you inside me now,��� Emma said as she rolled to her side.

  Brody smiled at her and kissed her head, ���Wait here.���

  Brody walked out of the closet with handcuffs, ���Brody, no way.���

  ���Trust me Emma,��� he smiled and sat on the bed. He handed her the key, and clasped one around his wrist, ���You���ll need to do the other,��� he said and held his wrist out.

  ���I don���t need������ Emma started.

  ���Yes you do, just don���t turn off the lights please,��� he said, ���Come on Em, it���s all in your control.���

  Emma smiled, ���You���re sure?���

  ���It���s your one chance, you better take it,��� he said and thrust his hips towards her smiling.

  Emma slapped on the cuff and raised her eyebrow and smiled as she pulled his silk bottoms off.

  Brody put his restrained wrists behind his head and took a deep relaxed breath and watched her as she slowly kissed down his belly, she grabbed him and gently took him in her mouth, her tongue caressed the bulging veins of his hard erect penis and she drew her mouth back and flicked her tongue across his tip. He moaned and closed his eyes, ���That feels so good, Em.���

  Emma moved faster and sucked hard using her hand to stroke him. Her breath became labored, as she moved up his stomach to his mouth, she kissed him as she held him in her hands and slowly rubbed against him as she moaned into his mouth. She sat up and slowly began to lower himself onto him, she stopped and circled with her hips gently pushing, she grimaced and he pulled back, she looked up and gave him a warning look.

  ���Em, easy,��� he said in a serene tone. She raised her eyebrow and looked at him and smiled insolently, she took a deep breath, ���Emma don���t������ he said through clenched teeth and she slammed into him and yelled out in pain. Brody sat up and wrapped his cuffed arms around her as she clung to his body. ���What the fuck Emma, are you okay?��� he said pushing her to her back as he pulled out slowly and she cringed. ���Answer me!���

  Emma laughed, ���I thought I was in charge here.���

  ���Yeah, well you���re about to be dethroned…for acting fucking crazy!��� Brody scolded and Emma laughed.

  ���Could you please lay back down, I want you,��� she said and he looked into her eyes that were dancing.

  ���Pain Em, that does it for you?��� Brody asked annoyed.

  ���Not sure but I love the thought of what���s to come,��� Emma looked up at him confused, ���You���re mad at me?���

  ���You just intentionally inflicted pain upon yourself,��� Brody growled, ���Take these things off, Em.���

  ���I did not,��� she pushed him back and straddled him, she was angry.

  ���Emma enough. This was a bad idea,��� Brody said closing his eyes and she pushed onto him again, ���Emma enough!���

  Emma moved slowly up and down him and pain became pleasure Brody watched her as she moaned and moved, she was hot and wet and felt good. ���Emma we need a condom,��� Brody said through his teeth.

  ���No.���

  ���EMMA ENOUGH!���

  Clive burst through the door, ���Everything���oh shit…sorry������ he said and turned around to walk out.

  ���Clive there���s a pair of keys on the nightstand, Emma cover yourself,��� Brody said glaring at her.

  Brody lifted his arms and Clive removed the cuffs and quickly left the room. Emma jumped up and ran to the bathroom and tripped over the blanket.

  Brody grabbed her, ���Not so fast Emma.���

  ���Don���t touch me,��� she said with her jaw clenched.

  ���You will listen and then do whatever you need, but you will listen to me,��� Brody said insistently.

  ���Take…your…hands…off me now!��� Emma snapped.

  He held his hands in the air and looked as if he was remembering something. She took the opportunity to grab her shirt and throw it on, ran into the closet and pulled on pajama bottoms, and walked past him.

  ���STOP!��� he snapped and Emma jumped, ���What you just did Emma, was to hurt yourself.���

  ���No it wasn���t, is was because I wanted to get laid without all the other stuff,��� she yelled. ���It was because I was tired,��� her body started to shake, ���It was because you wanted to and I wanted to make you fucking happy because you���no because I���I���m done with this conversation and I���m sleeping in Lexington���s room tonight.���

  ���I will ��� you stay here,��� Brody said and walked past her.

  ���No! You can���t ��� you might wake up and hurt her,��� Emma screamed. Immediately she put her hands over her mouth and he turned around and cocked his head to the side, ���I���m sorry.���

  He shook his head and looked sick to his stomach, ���I���ll sleep on the couch,��� he said in a whisper and walked out the door.

  At two in the morning Emma woke to Lexington���s babbling. As she walked past the office she saw Brody on the computer. She walked by on her way back and he turned around hearing someone. ���Do you need something?��� He asked coldly.

  She held up the bottle and kept walking. She checked on London as she walked by. She was sleeping peacefully snuggled up with the stuffed rabbit Brody had won her at the county fair. She kissed her head, ���I love you more.���

  Emma changed and fed Lexington and fell asleep. She woke again an hour later and put Lexington in her crib and went downstairs to bring the bottle down. Normally she would have waited until morning but she needed to see if he was still awake, to see if he would speak to her. He floored her tonight, and she lashed out to hurt him. This was only his third night home and she was putting him through so much. It wasn���t what she dreamed about. It wasn���t the romantic notions she had dancing in her head when she thought daily about what it would be like to see him again.

  She stopped at the door, ���Would you like a drink?��� She asked and he turned around in his large leather chair.

  ���Sure,��� he said and ran his hands through his hair.

  Emma brought him a glass of water, ���Is this okay?���

  ���Yes thank you. Is Lexington alright?���

  ���Yes she was just hungry, she���s asleep now.���

  ���Are you going to bed, or do you have a few minutes?���

  Oh thank God, she thought. Emma let out a deep breath, ���No…I���d like to talk.���

  ���Good, let���s go over the finances. Did you get life insurance money?���

  ���Yes but I returned the check.���

  ���Why?��� He asked looking at the computer.

  ���Because you weren���t dead.��� Emma looked at her hands on her lap.

  ���Ariel, was she paid?���

  ���Yes,��� Emma reached over and clicked the mouse revealing scans of cancelled checks.

  ���Clive, Lila, and Rupert?��� Brody asked looking ov
er the screen.

  ���Do you think they would still be working if not?���

  ���Clive would and Lila would,��� Brody said in a matter of fact tone.

  ���Yes,��� she reached again and clicked on two files.

  ���The properties?���

  ���All paid with royalties, record sales went through the roof when they thought you were dead.���

  ���Where does that leave us?��� Brody asked and Emma looked at him wanting to say she was sorry.

  She took a deep breath and leaned across him again and stopped and turned her head towards him and kissed him, he slowly pulled away, ���Sorry.���

  He didn���t respond, he just looked at her as if he was confused. Emma clicked on a file, ���Here.���

  She sat back down as he looked over the files and compared them to a year ago. ���How have you managed this?���

  ���I don���t know, are you upset, did I do something wrong?���

  ���No, there���s more there than a year ago, more than two years ago, do we have a lot of credit card debt?���

  ���No, we���ve never used them, this account here, is a secured account debit card. That���s what Clive and Rupert use,��� Emma sat back in her chair.

  ���And what about your personal funds?��� Brody asked still searching files.

  ���My pay goes into this account and pays the household bills, utilities, food, groceries, doctors��� co-pay, and those kinds of things. Rupert���s pay will come out of that as well.���

  ���Don���t you think that sort of thing should be done with my money? I mean if you don���t trust it enough to be combined, why are you leaving yourself so short?���

  ���Brody you���ve been back for three days, I wasn���t trying to upset you. I���m sorry,��� Emma stood up, ���You know, I thought you would be pleased. Good night.���

  ���I didn���t say I wasn���t,��� he said in his cold tone.

  ���Well I can���t tell. You���ve turned to stone, unemotional and very cold. I���m tired, goodnight,��� Emma walked upstairs and climbed in their bed, she hugged his pillow and fell asleep.
