Wounded Souls (Closed)

Jack just lòoked at her looking at him with daggers in her eye's
Obviously upset. "Okay okay I'm sorry. You're right ... I will move us upstream
,there's another inlet we can anchor in . It's not accessible by car ..we'll be just fine. Have yourself a drink and relax ,I will get us under way. He unlocked the door and went out onto the back deck. That's when he saw the escalade in the parking lot ... her ex and the thuggy twins looking around try to figure out
How to get down to the marina. He knew he had enough time to take off.
" fuck it ...time to teach these morons a lesson ". Turning he stuck his head back inside. " Lena!!!!!!. Bolt this door and do not come out unless I tell you...
Are we clear!!!! He ran out and untied all the lines except one stern line . He slacked twenty feet or so of that line and retied it. He saw them running down the gangway still fifty yards away . Climbing up to the helm he started the engines and put them in gear. The boat went forward of the dock as they raced to catch it . The boat stopped at the end of its twenty foot tether .
Thuggy one got down the dock much faster than the others , looking at the line still holding the boat "forget something asshole" . Jack just grinned " nope...how was Iowa?. Thuggy two and her ex arrived huffing and puffing.
" you're not so fucking tough without your pet gorilla!!!". Jack stòod with his arms folded " news flash assbreath . Even my pet gorilla is smart enough to
Be afraid of me" . This is your lucky day ... you didn't make the boat. If you had ...he shook his head ..fish food. Thuggy two reached down trying to pull the boat back into the dock. Once again jack shook his head and laughed. " save yourself a heart attack, your not going to win a tug a war with twin diesels. Now Calais ... why don't you send these dummies back to the car and we can lay our cards on the table".
 
Return my wife all problems solved in fact you can keep the car.for all the trouble.

Callis was calm almost too calm.

I believe we are even now when it comes to women. Release my wife and live to see a ripe old age.
 
Jack laughed at him . "didn't your attorney tell you she is no longer your wife?
how did you manage to forget that particular detail...she is free to do as she
pleases. If you have anything to say to her contact her lawyer or me...
stop stocking her or you won't see your next fucking birthday...and FYI she still
owns the car...and the heart of a real man...one that will never beat her.
now fuck off!! your boys are waiting.
 
Yeah... Temper tantrum on her part... She won't stay mad forever especially when the money runs out... Or her luck does.

Talking a little louder.

Enjoy your vacation princess... It will end soon enough... I promise.

With that, he walked away know those simple words renewed more terror in her mind than this punk could get through.
 
Jack watched the pompass ass turn and walk away. He was thinking
About going after him when he noticed the marina manager watching
From the top of the gangway and thought he probably has called the police.
He went up and backed the boat in to re tie it watching the Escalade leave the parking lot. Then he knocked softly on the door ." Its all clear baby you can let me in now "
 
She was barely able to make herself move to the door then backed away shaking. Her mind was in a nightmare of memory as if it were just happening or going to happen.

Okay

She backed away from him as he walked in.
 
Jack stopped as he watched her back away. He quickly realized the mans
Abuse was more than physical. " your going to be okay Lena. I won't let anyone near you." Inside his mind Raged ,or anyone else for that matter.
I will put an end to that bastard,and make him pay .
 
She wanted to run to him to hit him and be held but her mind kept replaying the night that happened after she tried to run before. She was shaking struggling to think or say anything other than the whimpered no that fell from her lips on a faint muffled repeat.
 
Okay babe take it slow
I will get you a glass of wine, just come over and let me hold you
I really need to hold you honey.
 
Tears were flowing from her fear and confusion of wanting him but the terror in her mind
 
Come to me lena.. jack slowly took her hand pulling her into his embrace.
She was still sobbing and shaking as held her. " Let it all out honey I'm right her for you. He felt her slowly calming as rocked her like a child. He knew he had to get her to a good doctor as this was beyond him. He also knew he had
To get rid of that bastard because it was beyond her....or was it? Plans started
To formulate in his mind. He kissed her hair softly as he continued to rock her
.
 
Slowly her mind let go of the memory and she suddenly as if leaping hugged him tightly. Her lifeline at that moment. She needed to feel safe again.
 
He took her to sit on his lap. Kissing her cheek " have a sip of wine baby"...
He was gently caressing her cheek but his mind was miles away.
Formulating plans to silence her ex... permanently. He hated violence, but
As many had found out the hard way ... he was dam good at it.
 
She drank the wine as if she had merely been handed a shot of whiskey. She wanted to run and wanted to be held she didn't know what she wanted.

I... I am okay...
 
" No.... your far from okay baby , but I'll get you there.
Some how some way you will get stronger. And i will
Protect you like a junk yard dog to get you there. He kissed
Her softly and hugged her tight.
 
Everyone has that one person who scares them no matter what right?

She snuggled into his hug feeling safer still.
 
He blinked and that about for a second...."no honey you
Shouldn't have to be afraid." He felt like she had regressed
Into a child. He wondered what the bastard could have done to
Damage her like this. " Certain they would have to find a good psychiatrist to help her, he new that would take time for her to heal. And he would
Have to put an end to Calias before the bastard found another way to hurt her again. " come on,lets pull some blankets over us and just curl up together.
 
Something in him had changed. She tried to push away to stand and put space between them. She was fine. Yes Callis words had sent her back into a memory and that seems to have changed him as well.

I am fine.
 
Jack felt her push away and tell him she was fine.
" okay your fine. Your fine now at least . But let's face it Lena.
Hearing someone's voice should not terrify you to the point
Your immobilized and sobbing. I cannot stand back and let him do that to you.That's not fine honey. Maybe holding you tight Does more for me than you. I love you Lena....i want to put a smile on your face he can never remove... if you will let me.
 
You do... Just don't treat me like I am some broken thing okay I am fine. Once he is out of my life for good everything should be fine.

She sighed and moved to hug him again.

And you do pit a smile on my face Jack.
 
What was it about this dam women. He had never worn his heart on his sleeve for anyone . Never mind a women he only knew for a few days. He wanted her so badly even the slightest change in her mood effected him. He realized she was in denial about being broken. He knew what he had seen . He also knew she did not have the capacity to get her ex out of her life.
She needed help. How to get it for her without pushing to hard was going to be tricky. keeping his own emotions in check might be the most difficult part. He already had a deep seated hatred for those that abuse women,and now her ex had leaped to top of his list.
The arrogant prick didn't know what a dangerous place that was.
Plan A would put her on the offense instead of just hiding. he had some ideas that would essentially have her spit in his eye without actually confronting him. It might do the trick if he could get her to play along. Plan B ....jack would go on the offensive. All this was racing through his mind as she hugged him.

Tilting her head up for a kiss..."If I remember correctly you were about to have your way with me".
 
She smiled.

Then you are wearing far too many clothes. Lose them now and join me on the bed.

She walked to the bed slipping from her clothes then turning to watch him
 
Jack grinned at her playful invitation. watching her walk to the bed slipping out of her close was thrilling in itself. He quickly got undressed and walked in to stand in front of her. : Your wish is my command me lady"
 
Come here lover...

She purred motioning for him to join her on the bed
 
Jack laid on his side next her tracing little circles on the back of her hand with his finger. " What's on that devilish mind of yours ?"
