He backed her up against the wall. “Open your legs,” he demanded.
She obeyed and was rewarded by the feel of his hot flesh gliding over her slick folds.
“I’m going to fucking take you against this wall,” her murmured fiercely against her ear, then nipped her earlobe. Sharp pangs spiked through her as his teeth abraded her tender skin.
Then his pelvis surged forward. His thick column drove into her, stretching her canal wide. She tightened her arms around him, clutching him close while they both panted for air, his big cock buried deep inside her.
He moved and the feel of him shifting inside her made her moan.
“Oh, Dare, please fuck me.”
“God damn.” He pulled out, then drove forward again.
Her insides ached as his enormous cock thrust into her again and again. She quivered and the intense pleasure almost made her weep.
Still he drove in and out. Stroking her passage. His cock thrusting purposefully. Making her sing with pleasure. Her voice grew higher and higher as the pleasure pulsed inside her, until it was a high squeal of delight.
“Say my name again.” The need in his voice matched her own.
“Dare. Oh, Dare, make me come.”
“Yes … baby … Come … for … me.” He uttered the words between thrusts.
Pleasure swelled and her senses flared to a tingling mass of need.
“Yes, I … Ohhh,” she moaned as joy swept through her. “I’m coming.” The last word trailed to a reedy wail.
Then ecstasy burst through her, carrying her on the wings of blissful delight. Soaring into the unknown.
His body pulsed against her, his cock swelling, then he groaned as it erupted inside her in a spasm of joyful release. He buried his face in her hair as his body shuddered in ecstasy.
They clung to each other, both shivering in the aftermath.
Finally, he drew back and his lips found hers. His kiss, tender and passionate, reached right into her heart and stroked it.
She meant something to him. After that, she knew she must.
He drew back, but instead of the smile she anticipated, his face was drawn tight in concern.
He cupped her cheeks and kissed her again.
“I’m sorry but you’ll have to go now.”

Ashley sat in her car in Dare’s driveway, now back in the clothes she’d worn to Dare’s this evening, a bit in shock. He hadn’t even watched from the window to see if she got into her car okay.
She knew he was concerned about Helen, but she felt rejected.
Ashley pushed the key into the ignition and started the car.
She had no idea what to think about Helen’s behavior. What she had done tonight was embarrassing and disturbing. Ashley didn’t even want to think about it, but she couldn’t get the thought of Helen begging her ex-stepfather to fuck her out of her mind.
God, the woman was so screwed up. Woman? Actually, she had acted more like a spoiled teenager. A teenager who would do anything for attention.
Dare had his work cut out for him straightening her out. Ashley wondered if she should go back in there. Maybe she could help.
Should she really leave Dare alone with Helen when she might throw herself at him?
No, she was being silly. Dare would never succumb to Helen’s strange and disturbing bid for attention. He was strong and always in control.
But now Ashley felt rejected. If it hadn’t been for Helen, Ash would probably be curled up in Dare’s arms in bed. But he’d chosen Helen over her.
She knew she shouldn’t let that bother her, but she couldn’t help it.

Dare raked his hand through his hair as he paced the living room, phone to his ear. The answering machine picked up on the other end, so he disconnected then dialed again. Sometimes Ann would pick up after several tries.
The third time dialing, he heard a click on the other end.
“Hello?” Ann’s voice sounded short.
“It’s Dare.”
“What do you want?” she asked. Same Ann. Short and to the point.
“You should come and get Helen.”
“She’s with you in New York?”
He strode to the armchair and sat down.
“No, Autumn’s Ridge. I’m here on business for a few weeks. You didn’t know where she was?”
“Why should I? I don’t keep track of her.”
“Well, she’s having a problem. I think she could use her mother.”
“Is she sick or injured?”
He glanced down the hall toward the bedrooms, knowing Helen was in the guest room, probably passed out.
“No, but she got stinking drunk.”
“Of course she did.” At her tone, he imagined Ann rolling her eyes. “If she made a mess of things, then it’s up to her to clean it up. I’m not babysitting her.”
Good old Ann. She didn’t care about her daughter, or the fact Helen might have caused problems for him. Ann lived in her own selfish little world, looking out for number one and no one else. No wonder Helen was so screwed up.
No wonder Helen felt so unwanted.
“That’s pretty callous, Ann.”
“Look, she’s an adult now, which means she’d not my problem anymore. She has to learn to take care of herself.” Then she hung up the phone.
Dare jabbed the End button then dropped the phone in its dock.
Fuck! The way Helen was acting, he should toss her out on her ass, but he couldn’t do that to her. He knew that her behavior was a cry for help and he couldn’t just abandon her, no matter how much she might mess up his life.
And his relationship with Ashley.
God, he wished Ashley hadn’t seen that. Helen calling her names, then coming on to him like that. And touching Ash inappropriately. It must have been horrendous for her.
And after he’d marched Helen to her room, he’d gone back and continued the fuck session with Ash, still so turned on by what they’d been doing he couldn’t help himself.
After the stunningly erotic sex, the blood flow had returned to his brain, and he’d begun to worry about Helen again.
The expression on Ashley’s face when he’d rushed her out of the house still haunted him. She’d looked so rejected.
He gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn’t think about that now. He’d find a way to make it up to her. Somehow. But right now, he had to make some arrangements for Helen. He picked up the phone. He wouldn’t abandon Helen like her mother seemed perfectly content to do.
As the phone rang on the other end, his thoughts turned back to Ashley. He loved being with her and regretted that this time with her would be interrupted by Helen’s issues. He knew Ash probably wouldn’t be open to a long-term relationship with him. He wouldn’t mistake her excitement at being dominated with real feelings for him, especially given their age difference and the fact he’d been her friend’s stepfather, but he had looked forward to a solid few weeks of enjoying her ongoing discovery of her submissive side.
Now he realized that as much as they both enjoyed him mentoring her, she’d probably be better off if they ended it now.

Ashley’s phone chimed, signaling a text. She finished the e-mail she was working on then picked it up, hoping it was from Dare.
Just finished with a client near your office. Want to grab a coffee?
It was from Jessica.
Yeah, sure, Ashley responded.
She’d be happy to get out of the office for a little while. Since what happened between her and Adam the other evening, he’d been keeping his distance, not wanting to make her uncomfortable in the workplace, but she was still on edge.
