For the Love of Marni

Chapter 4 - Homecoming

It had been a long car ride over, and luckily the only incident was when a cop pulled up around him, putting his flashers on. For a moment he really thought the game was up, but it turns out that the cop was after the car in front of him. At that point he had prayed to a God he no longer thought about, and thanked him afterwards. This has to go according to plan, Luke reminded himself, it simply must.

At one point he had heard Marni stirring behind him, but she had not regained consciousness for the entire 2 hour car ride. Hannah had not given him any trouble either. She was so small. Actually, upon reflection, he was glad that she had been there “at the wrong time” as it were. Hannah would provide her mother with immeasurable happiness while she was with her. This way they could be a family, he could be the father she was always meant to have.

Luke could just see the crest of the driveway in front of him now, the larger house and its smaller guest house. Pulling up beside the latter, he thrilled at being able to hold Marni in his arms again. He unbuckled the seatbelt and stroked her cheek before carefully removing her from the car. She moaned softly and instinctively nestled her head under his chin as he carried her across the threshold. Luke took her up the stairs and laid her upon the king sized bed in the master bedroom. He paused a moment to stare at her, unabashedly, and then returned for the child. She, he put in one of the guest rooms and left her there after locking the outer door.

When he returned to Marni she was just starting to open up her eyes. She was murmuring something about “where was she” and “where is Hannah” but when he started stroking her hair lightly she drifted back off again. Just to be on the safe side, he gave her another dose of valium and started to undress her.

Luke did this slowly, gently, savoring her soft skin, lustrous hair, her soft breaths coming evenly against his hand. When she was completely nude he went to the closet, her closet, and picked out a nice nightgown and matching robe. Then he went to the dresser drawer and picked out the matching satin thong to go with it. The whole affair was a sort of mauve satin with embroidered flowers covering it in black and white. Not too much, not too little. It had a sort of Asian touch, to his eyes.

He laid the ensemble out on the bed next to Marni, pausing once to run a hand over a deliciously round breast, and went into the bathroom to start up a bath. Taking care to make sure it would not be too hot for her delicate skin he added some oils and bath beads. The scent he had chosen was rose. Marni would be his rose.

He lifted her gently and carried her into the bathroom, setting her gently in the water, watching how some lose tendrils of hair drifted across the water; then he started to wash her. He left no part of her body out, taking special care around her face. He washed her hair with the same tenderness he had given the rest of her body, and he was rewarded with a few soft sighs as he gently massaged her scalp with his fingers. When he rinsed her hair he made sure that no water ran down her face.

When he finished washing her hair he grabbed a razor blade and some shaving cream. He drained the tub and turned the water back on to wet the blade. He sprayed a small amount of shaving cream in his hands and then let them descend slowly to the curls nestled between her legs. That was the only thing about her that he didn’t particularly care for, but it could be very easily rectified.

Painstakingly Luke shaved her. He ached to taste her, and he would he knew. Finishing, he reviewed his handiwork. Marni had a few unavoidable cuts, but they would heal over before she recovered from her medication induced sleep.

Heedless of the water and soap that would get on him he lifted her from the bath and carried her to the towel he had laid out for her on the bathroom floor. He felt himself getting hard as he pulled away from her and sat back on his heels considering her. Marni was gorgeous even wet and slightly pale. Her breaths came slow and even, her breasts rose and fell with them. In his mind he steeled himself for the days to come. In his head he knew that she would rail against him though his heart could not believe such a thing was possible. Hannah would be the key to that. How he treated her would determine how Marni would come to love her.

Absently, he stroked himself through his pants, considering how he would take care of his erection. Consciously he stopped, though, and resumed drying Marni off. When he was done he lifted her again and brought her to the bed, clothing her in the nightgown and robe he had laid out for her. The thong he put on last, experiencing the way the soft satin slid against her soft skin. He was suddenly reminded again of his erection, straining against the cloth of his pants.

Lifting Marni so that the satin would slip into place between her buttocks, he allowed his hand to wander and come to rest on her warm clitoris, sliding the underwear aside to better see. Her opening was beautiful pink, almost a color to match the mauve bedroom ensemble he had just put on her. He stroked her gently, sometimes leaving her little nub to stroke her lips or to press a hesitant fingertip to her opening. She was getting wet, he realized, and from his ministrations. He began stroking himself again through his pants and his efforts on Marni increased.

Luke couldn’t keep himself from her. Slowly, painstakingly, he lowered his mouth to her lower lips, savoring the flavor of her arousal. Deep in her sleep, Marni let out a moan. The excitement thrilled through him. He freed his erection from its prison and openly stroked himself while kneeling next to the bed and licking her. She really did taste like a rose.

This was not enough, he realized. He must have all of her. He stood, crouched, then pulled her to the edge of the bed. Luke let go of one of her legs long enough to position himself at her beautiful pussy, pushing in hesitantly at first, but then slamming into her when he couldn’t stand it anymore. He savored the velvety warmth of her around him for a few seconds and perused the rest of her, below him. She was starting to rouse, he realized, and she unconsciously adjusted herself around him. He let out a few ragged breaths from the excitement he was keeping in himself. She felt like he had always dreamed.

As Luke started to move within her, Marni started to moan and grip the coverlet below her. His strokes became faster and longer, Luke felt Marni start to tremble and convulse slightly. Her moans had turned to pants, and he knew he was on the verge of orgasm. When her insides began to contract around him in her orgasm he spent himself in her, knowing at that instant that she really was his, that all his plans had brought her here with him for this moment and that nothing could separate the two of them. Marni’s head lolled to the side and he released her legs, withdrawing himself from her. She turned and tried to push herself up on the bed. Luke smiled at her, retrieving the pants from the floor that he did not remember kicking off. He finished tugging them up and buttoning them and then untucked a corner of the bed for her to help crawl into. Luke tucked Marni in and stroked her hair until she fell asleep. My perfect little angel, he thought to himself.

He shut the light off and checked the bathroom to make sure he had not left anything there that could be used as a weapon and then locked the suite door behind him as he left. He headed outside and into the main house, eager to do the online shopping he had on his mind. If he had seen correctly, Hannah wore a size 8 girls’ size so he would have to see about getting her some nice clothes to be in while she was here.

Several hours later, sitting in the dark glow of his computer screen, Luke watched his two charges sleep soundlessly in their beds, thrilling at his accomplishment and looking forward to his future, here, with them. They would be his new family.
