Moving Forward
JACE POV
Getting Ella back to our apartment is first on my list of things to do now that we have her stalker in custody. Fucking Davis! I don’t
even know the guy’s last name, that’s how much interaction I had with him in the past. I just know that he took the training like I
did, but apparently, he isn’t as good as I am either. He’s got some serious issues if he thinks he needs to go after an innocent
woman just to get revenge. Had I known he would do this, I would have gladly handed him the fucking position. All he had to do
is wait for me to leave, and he would have had it, but no, the dumb dick up and quit and went after my girl instead.
I’m not too concerned about Cindy since Kingsly has his eyes on her, so now, I can give all my attention to the woman that I’m
carrying in my arms. I’m pissed that she got hurt after | promised her that she wouldn’t, and I’m even more pissed that Kingsly
pulled me off the fucker. Thank God for good friends like Jude, who has my back in times like this. The way he pounded his fist
into Davis’s face after I was pulled away, helped to calm some of my anger.
That’s one thing about Jude, he despises men who are abusive to women. There is a fine line in what we do as Domi nants and
what abusers do. We do it to give pleasure to our partner and we always stop if they safe word; our sub is al ways in charge.
Then there are abusers who prey on women because they are weaker, and they want to show the power that they have over the
woman. Putting aside what he does as
a side job, Jude is a lover of all women and will not stand by and let them be abused unless they deserve it; take Kaylee for
example. I don’t think I need to say more on that account, but I think you catch my drift. I’m blessed to have that fucker as a
friend.
When we reach our place, I take Ella straight to our room and lay her in bed before going back to the kitchen for an ice pack. The
motherfucker hit her good, her cheekbone is swelling, and I can already see a bruise starting. I come back to find Ella sitting on
the edge of the bed, starting to pull off her shoes.
“Let me do that for you, baby. Lay back down and keep this pack on your cheek.”
Like the good girl that she is, she scoots back and lays her head down on her pillow, bringing the ice to her face. I pull off the
second shoe that she hadn’t gotten to and then hook my fingers into her leggings and pull them off, keeping her panties firmly in
place. I then kick my own shoes off and lay down beside her, so I can hold her for a while.
I don’t know what’s going on outside of this room and at the moment, I don’t care. The only thing that needs my atten tion at this
moment is the woman in my arms. She snuggles in closer to me and I kiss the top of her head.
“It’s finally over, Ella.”
“Is it? What about Cindy?”
“I’m not too worried about her.”
“Jace, she’s the one that injured me to begin with. Davis never laid a hand on me until today when he found himself
trapped in a corner.”
his eye on her and knows her every move. He will bring her in now that we have Davis.”
Ella’s sigh is of relief, and I can feel her whole body relax, “It’s really over then? No more guards?”
“Yes, no more guards.”
“I’m going to miss Owen and Malik, but Reece is really go ing to be upset. She has it bad for Owen.”
I chuckle, “Who doesn’t she have it bad for?”
“I’m serious. She’s never came right out and told me, but I can see with my own eyes, and I’m pretty sure he feels the same
about her.”
“He’s like six years older than her!” | snort.
“So, since when is age a thing when feelings are involved. As long as they are both consenting adults.” She huffs.
“You’ve seen how he blushes about the stuff we do, do you think Reece will be the Domme and Owen the submis sive?” I had to
ask, if anything than to lighten the mood.
Ella gasps and then giggles, slapping me in the chest, “Jace Mitchell Palmer!”
“Oomf... what? It was a serious question!” I laugh.
The door opening draws our attention, and we see Jude come walking in, closing the door behind him, “Sounds like I’m
missing all the fun.”
Troll my eyes at my friend, and scoff, “It’s not that kind of fun, dick.”
“Hey, I didn’t say that that’s what I meant. I just heard laughter.” He climbs into the bed on the other side of Ella, “Do you mind?”
He asks me and I shrug. I know he won’t do any thing inappropriate to her, so I don’t care. The more people Ella has around her,
the more it will help her move forward.
“How you holding up, Precious?” Jude asks her.
“I’m ok. Relieved that I no longer have to look over my shoulder wherever I go.”
“How are you physically?”
She shrugs, “Aside from my cheek and a little soreness in my side from when he stretched my arms over my head, I feel pretty
good, just a little exhausted.”
“That’s good to hear,” Jude states and then turns his at tention to me, “Precious here, thought it would be okay to roll her eyes at
me earlier when she brought you into the room. I demand retribution.” I can tell he’s holding back his smile as he keeps the
serious look on her face.
I’m feeling really bad for my girl at the moment, because this can only mean one thing... a torture session with Jude. Al though, I
won’t be surprised if it turns out that she likes his torture, she’s a freak like that, but it will still be fun to watch.
I nod to my friend, “I understand, but there will be no pen etration from you. I will be there to do that part, but your hands stay
external only.”
“As long as you do to her everything I tell you to, I will be fine with it.” My friend then turns to Ella, “You do understand what
happens in my sessions, correct?”
find her soaked, “Fuck Jude, you may need to get creative because she’s already wet over the idea of being in one of your
torture sessions!” | chuckle and show him my wet fingers before inserting them into Ella’s mouth..Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
“Oh, you like that idea huh? Well, I think I can get a bit more imaginative.” He caresses her cheek and presses his lips against
her forehead, “Get some rest, Precious. I want you well rested by tomorrow night.” Climbing from the bed, he heads to the door,
“I better go make sure Beth is doing okay. I left her restrained to the Sybian. I will probably have a huge wet mess to clean up
before I take her myself.” The sick bas tard chuckles and then shuts the door behind him.
“Oh, my God, he’s left Beth on a toy all this time?” Ella gasps.
“That’s Jude for ya! You don’t realize what you have got ten yourself into by rolling your eyes at him. You think I’m bad... pssh,
you haven’t seen anything yet.” I laugh at the ex pression on my girl’s face. It’s a mixture of horror and excite ment, “You’re such
a little slut, you know that?” I kiss her fore head.
“Yep, only for you, Sir...only for you...”
Moving forward isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Without having Owen or Malik up our asses, I’m looking over
my shoulder every chance I get, but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry. Today, Ella and I are heading over to finally check
out Jude and Beth’s rental that they have been going on about, and of course, Jude and Ella’s session. I’m not going to lie, I’m a
little nervous of what he may have up his sleeve for my girl, but I know whatever it is, she’s going to love it, un less he edges and
doesn’t allow for release, but then I may have to take care of her later, without telling him, of course, and only if she’s a good girl
throughout the session.
We find what looks like a small barn-looking house and I pull up next to Jude’s rental car. The front door opens and Jude steps
out and waits for us to make our way to him. He grins and brings me in for a man hug before requesting per mission and pulling
Ella in for a friendly hug.
I had already explained to Ella about Jude and Beth’s twenty-four-seven D/s relationship, and even though they are on vacation
and he’s a bit more lenient, inside their own space, it’s always D/s. So, I’m assuming she is prepared when we step inside and as
always, Beth is kneeling naked, but Ella doesn’t seem surprised and just smiles at her.
“You may go talk with Beth.” Jude gives his permission.
“Thank you, Master Jude.” She replies and goes over to kneel beside Beth.
I watch her for a moment, proud of how far she has come. I know a lot of people would say that we are so young to be in a
responsible D/s relationship, but it’s all about the mindset and how responsible the person is. Ella has grown in all areas, and
still, she shows promise of even more.
“How she doing?” Jude asks as he hands me a bottle of
water as he drinks from his own.
“She’s actually doing pretty well, better than I am.” | chuckle, “I’ve been looking over my shoulder all day long, and it feels odd
not having the guys around. As soon as Kingsly picked up Cindy last night, the guys packed up and headed
out.”
My friend nods his head in understanding, “I think I would be the same way. You want to make sure she is protected at all times
and even though the threat is gone, you can’t help but be cautious because if it happened once, it could happen again.”
“That is so true my friend,” | then change the subject, ‘So, do you want to tell me what you have in store for my girl tonight?”
Jude’s grin is on the sinister side as he slaps me on the shoulder, “All in good time, my little friend.”
