“Shit, sorry, I was miles away,” I say shaking my head as my heart races so frantically I want to be sick.
“Are you okay to drive, sugar? Need me to take over? Are you too tired?” he asks watching me intently as I turn my eyes back to the road.
“No, sorry, I’m okay I promise,” I say and he exhales and nods resting his hand on my thigh.
“I was talking to you and it was like you completely zoned out. What were you thinking about?”
Oh, nothing, just a dream wedding where I had to pick between you and Chad. That’s all!
“No, nothing, I was just thinking about Annie and hoping she’s okay. I feel bad for leaving her. She wasn’t in a good way when we left her,” I say and Danger nods.
“Yeah, hopefully, she’ll just ring Caleb like she normally does and he’ll go and get her,” he says and I nod knowing that’s what she’ll probably do.
The rest of the car ride back we talk some more about everyday stuff and when we arrive at the manor, I start to feel a bit tenser about how this is all going to go down with Mum. Getting out of the car I walk over to Danger, who’s standing in awe of the manor.
“Shit sugar, this place is massive,” he says glancing upward.
I take his hand and shake my head pulling him toward the door. The dogs are barking incessantly as I arrive at the door, and when I open it Mum comes out of the lounge room in her pyjamas eating directly from a tub of ice cream.
“Oh, hey girls, I wasn’t expecting you back so…” she stops mid-sentence when she notices Danger walk in behind me. Her eyes are open wide as she looks down at what she’s wearing and then tries to cover herself. “Shit Ella, you could have warned me we were having guests. Sorry for the way I look, Danger. If I’d known you were coming I would’ve worn actual clothing,” she says and Danger chuckles.
“It’s fine Lia, your pyjamas are pretty rockin’ anyway,” he says and she smiles and tilts her head to the side.
“You think so?” she says and giggles.
I roll my eyes because I know the effect Danger has on women and it seems my mother isn’t immune.
“Mum, is it okay if Danger comes up to my room?” I ask and she purses her lips and straightens her stature.
“Ella, I don’t know…Wait! Where’s your sister? And where did Danger come from?” she asks and I tense up looking at Danger.
“I flew in a couple of days ago from the states. I was in London and met with the girls at a club—”
“What! A club? You went to London clubbing?” Mum yells and I bite my bottom lip as Danger looks at me pursing his lips in an apology.
“Mum, we just wanted to have some fun.”
She scoffs and shakes her head. “Some fun, Ella? Clubs are great when you have security. Did you even have any with you?” she asks and I gnaw on my lip and shake my head. “Great, so where’s your sister then?”
“Annie was having too much fun to come home,” Danger says and Mum scoffs.
“Great! So she’s drunk and all alone in a club somewhere in London, right?” Mum says and I nod.
“How could you be so fucking reckless, Ella? How could you leave her there? She’s famous, anyone could take advantage of her. Holy hell, this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. And from you Ella, you’re the sensible one,” Mum yells grabbing her phone from the buffet and dialing.
“Who are you calling?” Hoping she isn’t calling Dad.
“Annie, I need to know she’s okay.” Mum paces the foyer as I look up at Danger, who’s rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably.
“We shouldn’t have left her,” I whisper and he nods.
“I’ll go back and get her,” he says.
“I’ll come with you,” I say and he shakes his head.
“No, stay, keep your mother calm. I’ll find her, okay?”
Mum hangs up the phone and grunts in frustration. “She isn’t answering.”
“I’m going to go back and pick her up,” Danger says and Mum nods.
“Okay, thank you. Danger, if you want a relationship with Ella, prove to me you can look after my girls. Prove to me you can find Annie and bring her home, okay?”
“Don’t give him ultimatums Mum, that’s not your style.”
“You want my approval, Danger? Prove to me you can look after my girls,” she reiterates and I scoff and fold my arms over my chest as Danger nods and looks across at me. He walks up to me, grabs my head and pulls me to him kissing my forehead.
“I’ll find her, Ella,” he says and I nod grabbing his hands and looking into his eyes pleading with them to tell him I’m sorry about how this has turned out. He nods and kisses my forehead again.
“Shit, I don’t have a car,” Danger says.
“I’ll call a cab,” Mum says and starts to dial the number.
“I’m so sorry, it shouldn’t be like this,” I say and he shakes his head.
“No Ella, if I can prove to Lia that I’m worthy of you, that’s half the battle done,” he says and leans in kissing my lips softly.
“The taxi will be here soon. You can wait outside by the manor gate. I need to talk to my daughter,” Mum says dismissively.
“Okay, I’ll find her and get her home safely,” he says squeezing my hand and letting go as he turns to walk out of the door.
“Danger,” I call out and he turns back to look at me.
“That was great to see you again.”
He smiles radiantly. “I’ll see you again before I leave, I promise.”
I smile as he turns walking out the door closing it behind him.
“Ella Slade, how could you be so irresponsible?” Mum berates walking up to me and grabbing my shoulders looking me in the eyes with unshed tears in hers. “What if Annie’s in real trouble right now, huh?”
“I know, Mum. I know I fucked up, but she was being such a bitch and wouldn’t come with me, so I just left her there. I feel bad about it now. But I know if she gets in a jam she’ll call Caleb,” I say and Mum shakes her head.
“Okay, well let’s just hope that Danger finds her. We have an agonizing hour and a half wait for him to get to her. Let’s go to the lounge room and talk about your night, and you can tell me exactly what Annie was doing,” Mum says.
We spend hours worrying and I get a text from Danger saying he went back to the club, but he couldn’t see her anywhere. He asked around and people saw her leaving with a guy, but that’s all we know. We stay up all night worrying, and Mum is beside herself debating whether or not to call Dad, but I keep telling her not to worry him just yet.
Into the night, Mum received a phone call on her mobile and it was from the hospital in London. They said Annie had been admitted with drugs in her system and was being held overnight for observation.
Mum and I drive as quickly as possible to the London hospital. With an overwhelming sense of guilt and a gnawing in my stomach that won’t subside, I cry the entire trip and Mum has to be the strong one for the both of us.
On the way in, I called Danger and told him we received the call about Annie being in the hospital. I cried and told him how guilty I felt. He tried to reassure me by saying it wasn’t my fault and that no matter what we did she wouldn’t come with us, so there wasn’t anything we could have done differently. He also said not to worry and that she’s safe in the hospital and they’ll look after her there. He also said he would come and visit me during the day tomorrow before he has to leave the country again.
We spent the night in the hospital with Annie. As the story turns out, she went home with that guy she was all over and they did drugs together. She doesn’t remember much and feels completely embarrassed about it all. We decided to keep Dad in the dark mainly because he’d be ropable and wouldn’t deal with this at all well. We agreed, as the women of the house, to keep it between ourselves.
Today, while Annie recovers and spends time talking it through with Mum, Danger is over and I’m going to spend the day with him before he leaves. We’re in my bedroom
lying on the bed listening to music and just cuddling talking about how he’s still trying to get a tour lined up for Recoil. I feel terrible that nothing has happened for his band. I can’t really understand why nothing’s happening for him, but at least he’s trying to get things going. Not every band can have things handed to them on a silver platter like Staked has had. We were lucky, being the kids of a famous band helped push us into stardom, but Danger doesn’t have that luxury so he’s to do it the old-fashioned way with lots of hard work. I just wish I could help him somehow.
Right now, though, I need to stop worrying and be here in the moment with him. He’s leaving later on today and God knows how long it will be before I see him again. It was a year between trips, let’s hope it’s not that long again. I run my finger along his chest while nuzzling into his side while we lay on my bed. I’m glad Mum’s letting us have our time together, but she’s so occupied with Annie right now, I think she doesn’t really care that Danger is in my bedroom.
“What time do you have to leave?” I ask softly.
He brings his arm up to look at his watch and he groans. “In about two hours,” he says and I frown in response.
“I feel like when I do see you the amount of time is never enough,” I murmur.
He turns on his side facing me and caresses my cheek looking into my eyes. “Ella, no amount of time is enough with you. I hate that I have to leave again, and I hate that our time spent together has been minimal. I just wish I could find a way to see you more,” he says and leans in kissing the tip of my nose.
I exhale and close my eyes taking in all the senses around me, his smell, his touch. Everything around me is encompassing me in Danger and I love it.
“Danger,” I murmur and open my eyes looking at him.
“Yeah, sugar?”
“Will you make love to me, please?” I ask and he raises an eyebrow and smirks.
“But your mum’s downstairs?”
I purse my lips and shake my head moving my hand to caress his cheek.
“I don’t care, she’s occupied with Annie, and I won’t see you for months or maybe even a year. I need to feel you, Danger. Don’t you need to feel me too?” I ask and his intense blue eyes flame with desire as he moves leaning kissing me strongly. I open my mouth letting his tongue in. It dances with mine setting me on an insatiable fire that only Danger can douse. He moves over the top of me and I wrap my legs around his waist. Grinding his hips into me, I moan out in pleasure feeling delight in the fact that he’s growing hard against me. My hands rush through his hair pulling him to me. I need him…I need to feel him. Every inch of me is craving him, and right now I don’t even care if Mum was to walk in on us because I just need to be with Danger.
He pulls back and looks me in the eyes. “Do you have a lock on your door?” he asks and I smile and nod.
He stands up and walks over to my door flicking the lock, then turns around walking back to me while taking off his vest. I sit up and pull off my sundress.
“Fuck, I’ve needed this, to see you naked again,” he says coming back to the bed, standing at the edge and unzipping his jeans. His pants fall to the floor freeing his rock hard cock and I smirk, biting my bottom lip as I gaze at the magnificence of his body. The artwork ordaining every inch of him and the pure-toned physique has me practically wiping away my drool. Moving my hands to the back, I unclip my bra and throw it to the floor as he runs his hands up my thighs to edge of my panties and grabs hold pulling them down, leaving me completely naked on my bed. He throws them to the floor and leans in kissing me hard, his hand fisting in my hair as he kneels on the bed.
He stands back up and looks down at my nakedness and grins. “God, you’re a sight,” he says and shakes his head. “I want you on your hands and knees sugar, I’m going to take you from behind, okay?” he asks.
I nod while turning around and crawling onto the bed to position myself on my hands and knees in the middle for him. He moves to the back of the bed and kneels in behind me. “You’re so beautiful like this, Ella,” he says and I smile and shake my head, even though he always gives me compliments like that I never believe them.
He runs his hands along my sides and I start to breathe heavier knowing that this is not going to be making love, but our usual fucking style that he does so well. His hands come to rest on my hips and one slides around my front. “Part your legs a little more, sugar,” he demands and I do.
His hand comes around and his finger finds my clit and I inhale and close my eyes dropping my head down in satisfaction. He presses his hard cock against my arse while he rubs against my clit. The pressure is slowly building and I moan slightly at the pleasure of his touch. He grinds into me as he rotates his finger which only works me up further. I’m starting to pant as the friction is increasingly becoming intoxicating. My back begins to arch and my hips move in time with his movements. My breathing is heavy and as I begin to see flashes of light behind my tightly clenched eyes. I moan as he presses harder on my clit.
“Come for me, baby.” Hearing him call me baby always does something to me.
My body tenses and flames in intense heat. I start to shake and pant as the explosion hits me forcing me to moan out his name. He grips hold of me so I don’t fall onto the bed in exhaustion as he chuckles slightly.
“Good?” he murmurs leaning down and kissing my back.
Murmuring out a simple, “Mmhmm,” is all I can manage as he moves in behind me.
“You okay to go or do you need a second?” he asks with a hint of humor in his voice.
“I’m fine,” I say and he chuckles moving his hand to my hip and positioning himself at my entrance. I brace myself for the thrust, and as he moves his tip inside me, I exhale at the feeling. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten what it’s like. I gasp as he moves in me slowly, not at all the fast thrust I was expecting. He lets me fully adjust to him as he moans slightly when he’s deeply seated inside of me.
“God, I’ve missed being inside of you, sugar,” he says and slowly pulls back making my body heat with desire. Moving my hips in time with his, he starts to move us in a slow rhythm and I relish in the fact I’m now entwined with Danger again.
It’s been a year. So long since we’ve been joined and now that we are it’s like we never had any time apart, we fit so well together. He starts to pick up his pace and is thrusting a little faster. His grip on my hips tightens and he’s breathing through his nose harshly which is a good sign that he’s enjoying himself. The pleasure inside me is definitely building again as he fucks me from behind. Our bodies colliding together in perfect harmony is taking me to new heights as I moan from the dizzying experience. He moves his hand from my hip down and under to cup my breast and he massages it firmly intensifying my pleasure. I love that he knows how to work me up and he’s doing an excellent job of it. My body is coating with a fine mist of sweat and we’re both panting and breathing harshly. I can’t control the moans coming from me. I’m trying to be quiet with both Mum and Annie in the house, but Danger is making it difficult for me to reign it in.
He pounds into me hard and fast now and it’s safe to say that we’re fucking. This is Danger’s style to a tee and I love every pleasurable second of it. He thrusts into me harder and moves his hand from my breast to my clit and presses on it hard. The moment his finger touches my sensitive bud I’m on the edge instantly. I moan loudly as my head jolts backward in ecstasy. Danger’s hand on my hip travels up my spine and into my hair, he fists it and pulls my head back as he fucks me hard and fast. Being dominated like this is his way and I’ve missed it.
“Fuck Ella, I’m close,” he groans through gritted teeth.
“Me too,” I murmur as he circles on my clit again which forces my back to arch and my breathing hitch.
He thrusts harder and my body begins to shake. I’m panting and clenching my eyes as I start to see flashes of light. He tightens his grip on my hair and presses harder on my clit which makes my body flame hot then I tense up so tight
ly every part of me is constricting.
“Oh Jesus, sugar,” he groans and circles on my clit one last time thrusting deeper which sets me off into an earth-shattering orgasm. I moan loud as my body constricts and then releases in ecstasy just as he jolts and unloads inside of me with a long drawn out moan.
“Fucking hell,” Danger says, his body collapsing on top of mine. I can’t hold us up and I fall onto the bed with him on top of me. We both pant and come down from our outstanding highs as he leans up slightly so he doesn’t squash me.
“Fuck, that was hot,” he whispers leaning in and kissing behind my ear.
I smile and turn my head so he can kiss my lips, which he does. His kiss is soft and gentle, nothing like the pounding he just gave me. He slowly pulls back and swipes a stray strand of hair from the side of my face.
“You’re beautiful, you know that?” he says.
“No, I’m not, I’m just normal,” I say and he huffs and pulls out of me and rolls onto his side and faces me running his hand up my arm.
“No Ella, really. You’re one of the most beautiful women I know, not only outside but inside as well. I don’t know anyone who would’ve stuck by me for this long. You amaze me. I’m a lucky man,” he says bringing his hand up to caress my cheek.
“Well, thank you. It hasn’t been easy. Having you away, especially for a year and not hearing from you for three weeks at a time is so hard Danger, it makes life difficult for me,” I say honestly.
He frowns. “I know baby, I’ll do better. I’ll be better, you’re worth it,” he says and I roll on my side and cuddle into him. Even with all the time away and my confusion about where we stand, the moment I’m back in his arms things seem to slide back into place. I feel like I’m falling for him all over again. I’m right back to Ella and Danger on tour where he’s my world and I’d do anything to be his girl. Right now, Danger is all I can think about and in my heart I want us to work. When I’m with him it feels fantastic, but when we’re apart we drift and the connection loses itself. I’m worried that with him going away again that it will go back to him not calling again for three weeks at a time and I can feel myself wanting to brace myself for that. He says he’ll be different, but he’s said that before too.
