Page 3 of Keeping Skylar

“When I told you that you were mine I meant it in every sense of the word. You are mine Skylar and I take care of mine. Where you go I go, you wanna stay here then so am I. You need a new laptop and I'll get you one. I know how much your work means to you just by how your face lit up tonight when you were talking about it. So none of that shit about me leaving. We’re in this together, always, so don't you dare try and push me away because sweetheart it won't work.”

The police take that moment to walk in and the fun begins, asking so many questions I don’t have the answers to. They said they will look into it but they've had a string of break-ins in this area and since it's not the best part of town more than likely they won't find the people responsible. Damon talks to them for a little bit longer not wanting to stand around, I go check out my bedroom. I don't have much here so the only thing that was ruined was my small nightstand. Walking to my closet, I take out my duffel bag and pack my clothes up along with my stuff from my bathroom. I walk out into the living room watching Damon close the door as the police leave. He comes over to me, takes my bag, and holds me tight to his chest. Kissing the top of my head he pulls back a bit and asks.

“Is that everything?”

“Ya, I just have to grab my notebook and then we can go.” walking out of his arms I walk to the table and pick up the book glad that they didn't ruin this. It has all the mockup designs that I need along with notes from clients. Giving one last glance around I walk towards the door Damon has opened.

“Come on Sky, let's get you home and settle in. Tomorrow we can worry about the next steps.”

Home. It's such a foreign concept to me, a place to feel safe, warm, and loved. Could I have that with Damon or am I setting myself up for heartbreak? Grabbing his hand I take the plunge and hopefully find mine forever home with him.

Damon

Once we got home, I gave Skylar a quick tour showing her where everything is. Right now, she’s in my tub taking a bath. When I showed it to her I could see the excited look on her face at the prospect of taking a long soak. Moving her to the side I went about filling the tub for her adding bubbles to it don’t ask me why I have that stuff I just do. Knowing, in the end, this is where she was always meant to be, I wanted to be prepared. Not that I tell her that, she’s had enough excitement for tonight. Grabbing her a fresh towel I handed it to her.

“Just relax and enjoy your soak. I'll be downstairs once you're done.” kissing her on her forehead I close the door walking down the stairs I go to the fridge and grab a beer. If I stayed there much longer I don't think I’d be able to control myself. As it is, I’m hard as a rock just thinking about her naked soaking in nothing but bubbles. Trying to get my mind off it, I send a quick message to Lucas to tell him I’ll be taking tomorrow off so Skylar doesn’t have to be alone.

Damon: Hey man, I'm taking tomorrow off. I have Sky at my place right now. Her place was broken into tonight. They stole her laptop and TV and destroyed the rest of her shit. She won’t be going back there either.

Lucas: No problem, let me know if you guys need anything. Ry said for her to take some time off if she needs it as well. Whatever you guys need. So I guess this means you’ve got your head out of your ass and finally claimed the girl then?

Damon: Hell ya, I did and she’s not going anywhere. I’ll talk to you later.

Lucas: Later

Taking a swig of my beer I scrub my hands down my face just thinking of all that happened tonight. I know it was random but fuck, if I would have known that’s where she was living I would have gotten her out of there sooner. The first moment I met Sky, she stole my heart. I knew right then and there she was going to be mine. I saw the way she looked at me and knew she felt the same. But she’s got demons hiding in her eyes and that just pisses me the fuck off. She deserves the fucking world and I’m just the man to give it to her. I may sound like a pussy but fuck this girl has brought me down to my knees and I don’t mind being there. Every time I’m near her, my heart skips a beat as if it’s trying to jump right into her hands saying take me I’m yours. Growing up the way I did without any family, going from home to home because no one wanted a troubled kid. And boy did I cause trouble. It was either jail or get my act together and I’m so glad I chose to get right. Once I joined the army I finally found where I belonged. I found brotherhood and in turn, I found my family. We formed a bond that could never be broken. Don’t get me wrong, I did have parents growing up but they both died in a boating accident when I was 10. With no family to take me in, I just became an angry child-hating the world. Once I turned 21, I was well into my career but getting a letter from my parents’ lawyer and friend saying I have an inheritance of 10 million sitting in an account for me that they didn't want me to know until I turned that age was a shock to my system which I never even knew about. The only people who know are the guys I don’t want people looking at me differently just because I have it. Do I need to be working? No, I don’t. I have enough to live off of but that’s not who I am. And now I get to share that with Skylar though I don’t know how she will feel about it. I know she’s independent and wants to do everything herself. It’s now my job to take care of her in any way she will let me. I don’t dare say she can stay home. I think she would castrate me for even suggesting that. So I’ll just have to be sneaky in the ways I go about buying her shit because she literally has nothing. I know it’s going to be a fight but I’m taking her to the mall tomorrow. I know she needs a new laptop and shit. Oh, she will try and pay me back for everything I buy her but she can try all she wants. I won't be taking a dime off her. Downing the rest of my beer I get up to throw the bottle away. That's when I catch sight of Sky coming down the stairs looking fresh from her bath. She looks fucking cute as hell in her pajama pants with hearts all over them with a baggy shirt. It might not be revealing but I can see her nipples through her shirt. Not wanting to be caught looking, I turn around, adjusting my dick which is hard yet again, and head to the fridge. “Do you want something to drink sweetheart? I've got water, beer, or coke?” turning to look at her she's nibbling on her lip trying to decide, what I wouldn't give to be the one doing that right now. I know it's not what she needs at the moment so I've got to get my shit together so I don't scare her.

“Beer please.”

Twisting the top of both, I steer her towards the living room. I wait for her to sit down first before I hand her the beer. Sitting down beside her I can see out of the corner of my eye she's peeling back the label on the bottle so I still her hands until she looks up at me. “What's going through your mind Sky, talk to me, tell me how you're feeling. I know tonight hasn't been easy on you so I'm here if you want to talk.” I'm really hoping she opens up to me. I want her to get used to the idea of me being here for her because I know she's never had that. It didn't take her to tell me I can just tell she hasn't had it easy in life. She's looking into my eyes as if she's searching for something and when she finds it she unloads everything and to say I'm pissed off is an understatement.

“To fully understand where this hurt is coming from I have to start from the beginning. My home life wasn't easy and that's putting it mildly. Ya, it's true others have had it worse off than me. My whole life I was put down by the two people who were supposed to love and protect me but all they did was use and abuse me. As soon as I hit a certain age I was left to take care of myself. The bottle was more important to my parents. All my life I was told what a burden I was, that I was never wanted. They would make fun of how I looked constantly, calling me ugly and fat. It got so bad I started to believe the words they used to say to me to the point I put so much distance with the friends I did have that I was left alone. I didn't want them to see what I was going through. Once I was old enough I had to get a job so I could pay for their habit, it didn't matter how tired I was or how much homework I had as long as I brought money to them all was right in their world.”

I can see she's struggling with the rest so I grab her hand and hold on tight lending her my strength. She squeezed it back just as hard as if that's all she needed to finish the rest of her story. She blows out a breath and continues.

“I came home from school to hear my parents arguing which wasn't anything new but as soon as I walked into the door my mom accused me of drinking all the alcohol in the house. As soon as she reached me she slapped me so hard in the face I stood there stunned because that's the first time she's ever done that. So I ran. I didn't plan on going back but being as exhausted as I was I only made it to the park. Not realizing someone was already sitting there. So the old man handed me his handkerchief and just sat with me until I calmed down, not once did he prie into what happened. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. But he did give me some advice before I left that stuck with me “When you can get out don’t look back. Start living for you and only you. Don’t let anyone treat you like you don’t matter. Show the world what you're made of.” I walked home after that and once I walked in the door both of them were passed out on the couch nothing was ever mentioned the next day. So I started to save and hide money when I could because I knew I had to get out of there. Once I had enough I came here and never looked back. I worked hard and saved up to buy that second-hand laptop so I could start doing my graphics and now it's all gone. It's all I had but it was mine you know, I'll have to start over again. I know it's just material things to some but to me it was everything. I finally had something of my own.”

Fuck she's breaking my heart it makes me want to track down her parents and teach them a lesson. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially by the people who are supposed to love and care for you. Wiping the tear that's falling, I grab her and crush her to my chest just wanting to hold her right now. “I'm sorry that you had to go through that, you didn't deserve any of that. You know what they said isn't true right?”

“It took me a while to figure that out. For so long I believed everything they said to be able to look at myself in the mirror and see my worth and not the toxic stuff they said. Sometimes my insecurities show but I'm trying not to.”

I grab her face in my hands so she has to look me in the eyes to see the sincerity in what I'm going to say. “You are more than what they told you, every day for the rest of our lives you will know what you mean to me, it may be too soon to say but I've been in love with you since the first moment I saw you in the cafe. You have stolen my heart and I hope one day I'll be worthy of your love. Because I'm never letting you go your mine to take care of now until the day I die.”

“I never thought I would ever hear those words that someone loves me, you have no idea what those words mean to me. But Damon you don't have to wait to be worthy of my love because I love you too. I have right from the start and every day after that my feelings for you grew. I just never thought I would get this chance to be with you.”

Needing to hold her in my arms, I gather her up and place her in my lap with her straddling me. “I’m going to kiss you now Sky.” I give her a chance to say no if she wants to but she shifts closer so I take that as my sign she wants it just as much as I do. Lowering my head the first pass with my lips is heaven. I do it twice more before I grab her face gently in my hands and devour her. Licking the seam of her lips she opens up tentatively touching her tongue to mine and I lose all train of thought. I’m licking, sucking, and biting, her taste driving me crazy. I don’t even think she realizes she’s moving on top of me, her pussy hitting just the right spot. I can feel how wet she is. Her moan does me in. Ripping my mouth from hers I grab her ass and help her along. “Fuck Sky, the things I want to do to you. You feel how hard you're making me. That’s it, baby, take what you need.”

“Damon,” she moans out. “Somethings happening.”

Fuck, she’s grinding on me so hard I’m ready to spill like some fucking teenager. I feel the moment she’s ready to go over. Her body stiffens, throws her head back, and yells my name. Fuck that was beautiful, watching her come for the first time. I can’t wait till I’m nine deep in this pussy. She collapses against my chest breathing heavily. Kissing the top of her head. “You okay Sky?” Lifting her head she gives me a shy smile. “Hey, none of that now. No need to be all shy now, you always take what you need from me. I’ll always take care of you first.”

“I’m more than okay, Damon.” She tries to cover up her yawn. I know today has been long for her. I pick her up and carry her upstairs. She squeals and holds on tighter.

“Damon put me down, I'm too heavy to carry.”

I swat her ass for that and growl out. “You're not too heavy and never say that shit again. I could carry you all damn day if I wanted to.” Walking into our room because there’s no way I can’t have her in the house and not be able to hold her all night. I gently lay her down on the left side and cover her up. Winking at her I grab a pair of sleep pants, normally I sleep naked but I don’t think she would feel comfortable with that. Going into the bathroom to change and brush my teeth. I come out and she’s almost asleep already. Shutting the lights off I pull back the blankets and climb in so I’m facing her. Her eyes fly open. I guess she didn’t expect me to sleep in here with her. “Get some sleep sweetheart, we have a long day tomorrow. I’m taking you shopping.” she scrunches up her nose looking cute as hell.

“Damon, I don’t think..”
