As she drove down the road leading to Ty’s estate, Lo was nervous as fuck, thinking about how his reaction to her would be. Would he be happy to see her, glad that she had come to him or would he be disgusted at what he had found out and seen about her.
Worry clouded her better judgement and she didn’t even remember that he had a security system at his gate that could only be voice-activated. She almost rammed her car through the gate and got electrocuted before she remembered. That posed another issue of whether he had removed her from the voice command system; she wouldn’t be shocked if he had.
With nerves still creeping down her spine, she spoke into the receiver at the gate and to her utmost relief, the gates opened allowing her entry. She drove up the drive and parked in front of the house, noting the absence of Ty’s car but the presence of a red Bentley.
Shrugging, she made her way to the house and opened the door. Immediately, she was surprised by the Spanish music that was blasting in the house. As far as she knew, Ty didn’t listen to Spanish music, but then none of Ty’s cars (all of which she knew well) were parked outside. It had to be someone else.
Walking through the house, Lo thought she saw some movement through the open doorway of the kitchen and went to check it out. The woman whom Ty had said was his sister was twisting her waist to the beat of the Spanish music, stirring something on stove, singing out loud and having a grand ole time all by herself.
Lo stood awkwardly in the kitchen, waiting for Gem to notice her. She didn’t want to startle the woman by appearing right behind her or tapping her; especially not whike she was holding a ridiculously hot frying pan.
While Lo stood and waited, Gem went to the huge oven and brought out the tray of brownies she had just finished baking. She turned around to drop them on the rack to cool and noticed Lo standing there with a small awkward smile. Delighted, Gem stopped the music smiled at Lo.
“What a wonderful surprise it to see you here,” she absolutely beamed.
“Hey, it’s nice to meet you,” Lo replied. Now that she was looking at Gem for more than five seconds, she could actually see the sibling resemblance between Ty and Gem. Remembering the last time she and Gem had seen each other, Lo cringed.
“I’m really sorry about the way I ran off last ti—”
“Oh no, don’t worry about it, I get it,” Gem cut her off, “my brother’s a slut. And to be honest, you’re not the first person to assume we were together. You have no idea.”
Gem’s eyes were twinkling and Lo had no choice but to feel comfortable around her. It was just then that she noticed that the kitchen smelled divine, no doubt because of what she had bubbling on the stove and the brownies she had brought out to cool.
“The kitchen smells lovely,” Lo commented.
“Thank you, its part of the job,” Gem said, walking over to the brownies with a huge knife and cutting them up, “if food doesn’t smell nice, nobody’s gonna want to eat it.”
Lo couldn’t agree more. She was shocked when a plate containing two brownies topped with some kind of caramel drizzle was placed in front of her.
“Try them. Ty will kill me if he gets back and I haven’t fed you,” Gem said.
Lo really wanted to refuse, she felt too nervous to eat. But then she was a sucker for sweets and the brownies looked so fudgy and rich that she just couldn’t resist. Taking the small fork on the plate, she cut a piece off and put it in her mouth. The brownie melted immediately it touched her tongue in chocolate bliss. It was gooey and dragged in her teeth as she ate it; perfect.
“This is absolutely amazing,” she said to Gem, taking another bite.
Gem nodded her head like she was expecting that answer (which she probably was) and it was juts then that Lo noticed the print on her apron. It was the logo and name of one of Gem’s cooking shows. Lo recognized her and shook her head. Just typical of Ty to have a younger sister that was one of the worlds most famous chefs. Just typical.
That led Lo to wondering what exactly Gem was doing in Ty’s house. She was most definitely capable of having several of her own houses but Lo didn’t voice her questions, knowing it was absolutely none of her business.
The two women engaged in animated conversation for another two minutes before Gem went strangely quiet and Lo’s back straightened. The air had changed, she could feel it. There was a sort of zing in the atmosphere that hadn’t been there before and with a small sniff, Lo could smell chocolate cologne; the kind Ty wore daily.
Before she could turn around and see if truly, Ty was standing behind her, he swooped her off the stool she was sitting on and carried her out of the kitchen unceremoniously. As he carried her out, ceremony or not, Lo was so happy to have him so close to her. She could feel his pectoral muscles moving as he walked and his biceps were firm around her waist. She was well off the ground and she didn’t mind one bit.
When they got to his bedroom, Ty set her down on her own too feet and turned her to face him. They studied each other for about half a minute before Lo grew the balls to give a fully-meant apology.
“Ty, I'm so sorry,” she started, “I’ve been so scared all these years and I’ve never wanted anyone to know about it and mphmphmphhh.”
She couldn’t speak anymore because now, his lips were swallowing her words. He kissed her with the ravenous hunger of a man who had been deprived what he wanted for way too long. A man who had been starved and kept away; one who had finally found what he had been looking for in abundance and was determined not to let it go ever again.
He tore his lips away from hers and stared into her eyes, “Promise you’ll never leave me again.”
Lo was able to force out a weak “I promise” before Ty was devouring her again, kissing all over her face, her neck, her shoulders and fiddling with the buttons holding her shirt together. With a lot of heat and fidgeting, they were finally able to get each other naked and on the huge bed.
Ty climbed atop her and took her lips in his again, using one hand to play with her breast, putting a taut nipple between his fingers and gently rubbing it. The moans she spilled into his mouth aroused him beyond imagination and his cock got even harder at the thought of what he was going to do to her in a few seconds.
He would brand her; mark her so she would never even imagine of being away from him ever again. He would make sure that the thought of ever leaving him would be horrifying to her. Tearing himself away from her lips, he latched onto her neck and sucked and bit, leaving a sizeable hickey where his presence had been before moving to another location.
When he was satisfied with the hickeys he had left on her neck, breasts, chest, stomach and thighs, he placed his dick between her legs. He knew he was large and she hadn’t had sex in a while so he had to ease her into it. But not today; today he wanted to punish her for leaving him and make sure she would think of herself as his forever.
She was so unbelievably wet and he cursed as she writhed below him. The heat of his cock on her cunt was almost too much to bear. She wanted him slamming inside her and holding her tight as they came.
Of course, he obliged her, sliding his cock into her in one sure stroke. She cried out and dug her nails into his biceps, feeling her pussy throb so pleasurably at the invasion. He was stretching her out so nicely and she wanted more, more and yes, more. She communicated this by rolling her hips upward to take more of him in.
Ty replied her eagerness by moving closer to her, holding one of her legs around his waist and holding her bottom lip in his teeth. He fucked her like a caveman and she enjoyed every second of it, feeling her climax coming closer and closer with each thrust that hit that delightfully sensational spot inside her.
Before she could say ‘fuck me, daddy’, she was falling off the edge in a toe-curling orgasm. She could only see and hear stars exploding but in the distance, she could hear Ty cumming too, vibrating atop her and groaning.
They both came down from their climaxes and went to shower which of course led to them fucking again, but from the back this time.
When they got out of the shower, Lo started getting dressed and Ty, wearing only a towel around his waist, sat down on the bed waiting for her to come sit beside him.
Lo didn’t wait for Ty to ask any questions, “My mother married Ben because she felt that I needed a father figure in my life. Of course, he was a package deal with Lou. They both seemed alright at first, although Lou had always seemed unhinged kind of. He would sometimes spend days alone in his room for no reason or get a pet and slowly poison it till it died. I still don’t get why nobody thought it was strange. I would tell Ben that Lou had killed another one of his pets and he’d ignore me but I just thought he was trying to support Lou cuz he was his son. It was when my mum died that I knew that they both had serious mental issues.
“I was fifteen at the time and at first, it started with Lou. He would come to my room at night, gag me, tie me up and rape me. Whenever I tried to tell Ben, he would hit me and tell me never to say that again or he’s kill me. Something told me he actually COULD kill me so I kept my mouth shut.
“After a while under Lou’s ministrations, I stopped crying. I’d just lay there and wait for him to finish with whatever he wanted to do. But it annoyed him that I wasn’t crying anymore. He actually wanted me to cry; said it turned him on when I cried. So he would the living daylights out of me till I started crying uncontrollably and then he’s rape me. I was at my wits end when Ben started coming to my room too. Ben never raped me. He just enjoyed watching Lou do it while I cried. I remember dreading holidays because I’d be with them 24/7 and they could do whatever they liked with me. I cant count how many times I tried to kill myself. After I cut my wrists the first time, they watched me like a hawk, determined that I shouldn’t leave their hold. I tried to run away but they always caught up with me.
“But Lou and Ben were highly irresponsible men and by the time I was 18, they were dead broke. So they went after the trust fund my father had left for me, seeing as they had spent all my mother left and they refused to work. But the lawyer and the bank wouldn’t let them. Apparently, my father had left the money for my education and then I could take whatever was left after I finished college. Since I had attended public schools my entire life, the money was pretty much intact. But Ben and Lou were so pissed I thought they’d actually kill me.”
Ty could see Lo tensing up as she continued the story so he put an arm around her. She instantly relaxed, “That was when they made that video you saw. They said I had to go to college, get a job and I had 4 years after leaving college to produce an amount of money for them or they’d release my video to the whole world and if I got any authorities involved, they’d make sure they released the video before going to jail.”
Lo didn’t even realize she was crying until Ty wiped her tears and kissed her cheek, but more tears just seemed to pour out.
“The thought of people seeing me in that state is something I can’t bear. I knew I had to get that money. I'm meant to have a year left but Lou told me they decided to give me just two months. He’s been tormenting me since I left college,” she looked at him with a watery smile, “and that’s why I sold my house.”
“How much did they ask you for?” Ty asked curiously.
Lo told him and he swore. To him, it wasn’t a substantial amount of money but to Lo, it was an extremely hefty sum, especially with the fact that she had bills to pay. He could give her the money and then this would be over with. He told her just that but she shook her head.
“There’s no need for that, Ty,” she said, drying her tears with the heel of her palm, “I already have the money in my car. I'm going to give them the money now.”
“Okay, lemme get dressed,” Ty got up and headed towards his walk-in closet.
“Who said you’re coming with me?” Lo asked.
Ty paused and turned around. She was absolutely crazy if she thought he was going to let her complete a transaction with two dangerously psychopathic men on her own.
She saw the thoughts on his face when she shook her head, “Ty what if they see you coming and post the video because they think you’re coming to fight them? You are a powerful man, you know?”
As much as it stroked his ego to hear Lo call him a powerful man, Ty wasn’t giving in, “Your safety is of topmost priority to me. There’s no guarantee that they wont try something.”
Lo knew this and it was one of the reasons why she didn’t want Ty there with her. She knew what Ben and Lou were capable of and Ty could easily underestimate them.
“You’ll have to trust me to handle this, Ty,” she said and stormed out of the room.
Swearing, Ty quickly picked up his phone and texted the only person he could trust to follow Lo.
Ty: I need you to follow Lo. She’s leaving my house now.
Lee: Hold her down for 5 minutes. I’ll wait for her at the end of your street.
Ty appreciated that Lee was smart enough not to ask any questions. Dragging on a pair of sweatpants, sans underwear, he quickly met up with Lo.
“At least, eat before you go,” he pleaded, “Gem made Chinese fried rice. I know how much you love Chinese food.”
Lo stopped in her tracks. Damn him for using her love of food against her. She walked back and headed towards the kitchen, “Fine but I'm leaving right after.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Ty humoured, watching her ass as they walked to the kitchen.
They ate and Ty escorted Lo to her car, giving her a rib-breaking hug and telling her he loved her. Finally, she left, promising to be back immediately after she dropped the money off.

Lo really hated Ben and Lou’s house. It reminded her way too much of all the atrocities they had done to her there. But she had to drop the money, collect the hardrive containing the video and passwords to where it was being kept and get the fuck out of here. She knocked on the door and Lou answered with a scowl on his face. When he saw that it was Lo at the doorstep, however, his mouth formed into a smile that made Lo’s skin crawl.
“Lo! How wonderful it is to see you,” he looked at the duffle bag she was holding, “I see you have the money, please come in.”
Lo walked into the house that smelled like cigarettes and piss, taking everything in her to maintain a blank face and not squeeze it up in disgust.
“BOSS!” Lo hollered, “SHE’S GOT THE MONEY!”
Almost immediately, Ben’s footsteps could be heard pounding down the steps at an alarming speed. He appeared wearing a pair of jeans and no shirt. He smiled widely and maniacally when he saw Lo.
“So the prodigal daughter has finally returned,” he said. Lo resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him and maintained the blank face. Like Lou, Ben’s gaze honed in on the duffel bag in Lo’s hands.
“Can I have the hard drive please?” she asked, “and you can get your money.”
“Get the drive, Lou.” Ben ordered and Lou climbed up the stairs.
“We didn’t really think you could do it, yunno,” Ben said conversationally like he had just said he didn’t think she would pass math, “it was so much money but then again, you’re rolling with celebrities and rich kids now. Tell me, did your new toy boy give you the money?”
Lo refused to take the bait and made sure she kept quiet despite the way her blood boiled at Ty being called a ‘boy toy’.
Lou came back downstairs, saving her from more of Ben’s taunting and handed her the hard drive. Her hands closed around the small disk that held the most embarrassing thing in her life. She threw the duffel bag at them and Ben happily caught it.
She turned around to leave the house, glad she could start working on pretending they had never existed in her life but Lou appeared in front of her, blocking her way out.
“We’ve missed you, Lo,” he said, looking down at her with his eyes as hard as coal, “seven years is an awfully long time.”
“Yes,” Ben agreed, standing behind her so she was sandwiched between the two of them, “you made us both so so happy while you were with us.”
Lo couldn’t believe what was happening. She stared at Lou with eyes as wide as saucers, pleading but his eyes hardened even more.
“Clothes. Off.”
