“Your dad said he messaged you telling you to be ready for half ten. Why aren’t you ready?” He steps around me and stops when he sees. little D. I jump in front of him as he goes for him.
“Don’t you fucking dare!” I stare at him.
“I do dare, what the hell is going on?” He looks past me to little D.
“Nothing. I slept in, he was coming this morning, and my dad must. have messaged once I fell asleep as I didn’t see it! How can you go for him just from assuming he touched me when you have!” I hear a gasp and freeze. Shit.
“You fucked her?” I turn and shake my head at D.
“Keep out of my business if you want to stay alive!” Jasper growls at
him.
“Enough!” I turn and look at little D. “He didn’t fuck me, if you must know before I came home it had been like five years since I saw him. I met him in a club, it was a masked ball type of thing and we kissed, nothing more and we had no idea it was each other.” I can’t have him telling my dad.
“You, wait outside!” I won’t have him coming in here causing shit. “Once I finish my conversation with him, you can come in!” I watch as Jasper storms out slamming the door.
“Are you sure nothing else happened?” He looks at me and I nod.
Speaking
“Believe me, with him, nothing would happen. He’s like my uncle and it’s weird as shit knowing we kissed. As I said, message the girl, apologise and explain things. If she wants to talk, meet her and talk in person. You owe her that.”
“Thanks, and sorry for getting you in shit with Jasper.” He looks. towards the door.
“I’m always in trouble little D., they should be used to it by now.” We both laugh and he walks out, Jasper coming through straight away. As I go to sit there’s a knock.
“This better be my coffee!” I swear down. I watch as Jasper walks to the door and comes back carrying the tray. I pick up the coffee and drink
it.
“I’m sorry, but come on I walked in with you dressed like that, and he’s here.” I will give him that..
“Fine, let me have my coffee and breakfast and then I will get ready and we can go.” I sit and drink it while eating breakfast, and the room stays silent. Hell, even now I want him. Even after how much of an
asshole he was I still feel like I want and need his touch.
“Harl.” I turn and look at him. “I’m sorry. The way I have acted is disgusting. I told myself to be an ass so you get pushed away and hate me. So that you didn’t try anymore, and it was wrong. So I’m sorry.”
I sit looking at him, wondering if he is being serious this time. “Jasper, I honestly don’t care. The only reason I am sitting here with you now is for my dad, otherwise, I wouldn’t have you near me.” I stand up and he moves in my way.
“You say the words baby girl, but your eyes say differently.” His hand holds my chin, and he looks at me. Shit, be strong Harley, be strong.
He steps back shaking his head.
“Sorry. Look, once we get this over and done with for your dad you won’t need to see me, and it’s for the best. The life I live isn’t for you.”
I feel my anger rising. “How would you know? You haven’t asked, you don’t know me to know that your life isn’t for me.”
“Because you’re fucking innocent, the fact no man hadn’t touched you for a year proves that.”
I laugh slightly. “You would be surprised by how little innocence I have left Jasper, but I get it, run from me.” I turn to walk away and he
stops me.
“Don’t, you don’t get it. You say you have little innocence left but that‘ s bullshit and you know it.”
“Okay, let’s play a game, Uncle Jasper. I guess what this lifestyle is, and say if I’ve lived it. Did you sell your body for money? I’ve done it. You sold drugs, I’ve done it. You fucked more than one person at once, I’ve done it. You tortured someone, I haven’t done that. Maybe you like BDSM and pain, I’ve done it. You’ve been sold for sex, guess what, I‘ ve done it! Am I getting close or shall I keep going?”
Screw him and thinking I’m a fucking princess!
“Harley, what the hell?” He stares at me shocked. “Please say that was a fucking joke!”
“Which part? Then I will lie and say yes.” He steps back and shakes his head.
“You were paid for fucking sex?” Wait, shit, I stare at him. I didn’t mean to say that, I didn’t even realise. I can’t backtrack now though.
Speaking
“I refuse to ask my daddy for money, so yes, years ago, and it was once and a friend, so don’t start.” I don’t know if that is better or worse than the truth but I will go with it.
“Fucking hell Harl!” He sits shaking his head. “Your dad needs to fucking know. How can you act like all that is nothing?”
“How can you act like I didn’t just say it all and not tell me if one of them is the thing you’re assuming isn’t for me but then lecture me?” I look at him waiting.
“Sit, just fucking sit!” He looks at me angrily. Moving I sit next to him. “When you left you were fucking innocent Harl. You were sweet the worst you did was ride bikes and swear, how did you go from that to selling your body and drugs?”
I go to answer and he stops. “And sleeping with more than one person at once? What the hell?” He groans and looks at his hands.
“You still didn’t answer.” I won’t reply to him, not until he answers.
“Because it doesn’t matter. If you must know yes I am dominant, yes I like inflicting pain, and I have submissives. I don’t do relationships. Your dad knows the women I fuck are basically used for my pleasure, that’s why I can never touch you again.”
Well, he answered.
“I didn’t want you to touch me again, thanks.”
He laughs at my words. “That’s what your mouth says but your body says a whole different story baby. I should fucking tell your dad. everything you told me. Why wasn’t that Joel helping you with money?” He looks at me and I shrug.
Speaking
“We broke up quickly.” That’s only half a lie.
“How quick? You had been dating him for a month before you left last time.”
“About a month after I left, I left Joel.” I did break it off with him, but walking away wasn’t easy.
“But, you never told your dad? He was still under the impression you were dating him until you came back home, that was the first he had heard of you two not being together.”
“I didn’t tell him, because he knew Joel was working and I wasn’t. That mean he would insist I go home or him send me money. It’s my life, Jasper, to live it how I want and I won’t be fucking ashamed of it.” I refuse to be.
“Baby I never said you should be ashamed. People do worse things for money, but you could have asked for help.”
“Can we forget it? We’re meant to be going out on the bike.” I walk off, not wanting to continue the conversation. It’s too close to the truth, and that truth will be a war, one where I lose every single person I love. Getting dressed I walk back out and he holds out a jacket for me.
“Your dad said you probably didn’t bring yours.
“He’s right.” I didn’t, but only because I no longer have one. We leave and I climb onto the bike with him, for an hour he goes around the city, and I give him directions. He tells me when I’m giving them too carly or too late when I’m not being clear and such. Two hours later he stops outside of the club. I walk in and see my dad, quickly hugging him.
“Princess, how did it go?” He looks at me.
Speaking
“She did fine, great actually.” Jasper smiles at me slightly as he walks.
past.
“That’s good. Look, little D came to speak to me this morning.” I watch Jasper freeze. “He was worried, apparently Jasper got there and you were still in nightwear. So he came here and let me know.” He laughs slightly.
“I didn’t think, I slept in and rushed to let him in. I didn’t even think about what I was wearing, to be honest, Daddy.
“It’s fine princess, just be more careful he was worried Jasper would tell me and I would hurt him. I wouldn’t the poor kid has been through enough.” He hugs me and walks off.
“We need to be more careful from now on,” Jasper speaks as he stands behind me.
“From now on? Nothing is happening is it for us to be careful over?” I smirk and hear him groan.
“You know what I meant.” He walks off and sits with my dad, walking over I join them and find myself sitting there for most of the day with them. I’m glad Jasper won’t tell my dad things, that wouldn’t go down well at all. He would find out about Joel then as well.
