Chapter 37: His kisses again

Liam:

I came to the office and looked at Chris. That conversation with Daisy was powerful. It really affected me.

"I don't know if she's your daughter or not. We'll find out later, but not now,"

"Why? Did something happen?"

"Don't even ask Chris. Don't even ask. It really affected me. I didn't want to let her know. Her grandmother came to see me,"

"Emmy's mom, what did she want from you?" he asked me. I sat down on a chair and looked at him.

"Chris. They raped her every day. Daisy was taken to a psychiatric hospital. They wanted to take everything away from her. Mark beat her, pulled her hair, hurt her. They made a fool of her.  I can't imagine how she must have felt, how he must feel,"

,,That bastard should go to prison. Hard. For everything he did to her. Both him and Emma. People like that have no business being free,"

,,How do I get her out of this? How? Ever since I met her, she's turned my life upside down. I've softened. No woman has ever softened me like Daisy,"

,,You fell in love, Liam. That's completely logical. You haven't had a woman for a long time and suddenly a woman came into your life and won your attention, your love. My best friend may have fallen in love with my daughter," he said and smiled.

,,I'm soft just from her perspective. From the skin she's on. I love her even though I've learned what I've learned.  She told me that because of what happened to her, because of how she was raped, she would never be able to get pregnant again. She was crying. She was sad. She wouldn't show it on her face, but I know it's bothering her,"

"Liam. There are different options. I'm a surgeon. I'm also a gynecologist, and there are many options. It depends on what condition she's in,"

"Will you examine her?" I asked, and his water started to boil. He almost choked.

"Liam.. Daisy might be my daughter. I can't examine her. It's going to be stupid,"

"I need a gynecologist to examine her, Chris. And you're a gynecologist. I need to know what condition she's in.  I need to know what she looks like and if she could get pregnant one day,"

,,I'll try Liam. Tell me the truth. If by any chance. You and Daisy.. If it works out. Would you want another child?,"

,,Well.. Look.. Daisy is a great woman. Gentle and beautiful at the same time. I don't know what will happen. I don't know if it will turn into love but yes. One day I would like to have at least one child. I don't know how she feels about me but when I kiss her, she doesn't protest. When I touch her, I feel her shaking. So many times I wanted to go to her and throw her on that bed but I couldn't,"

,,You're in love Liam. You didn't even talk about Becky like that,"

,,I don't think James is my son.  "I think so, Chris," I said, looking at the picture of him I had in my office.

"Who would that be? Wait. You think Becky lied to you and slept with someone else? You think so?"

"Yeah. I think so, Chris. He's got nothing on me. He dropped out of school. He hurts women. Remember that girl who went blind? And then there was Daisy. He doesn't look like me, Chris. He doesn't look like me. So what am I supposed to think?  She looks like Becky but not me at all,"

"I think so. And that's just so she can get money from me. I paid James through college, I sent him a large monthly allowance and when he was older I took him on vacations. I gave him absolutely everything. Everything he could think of and he got back at me by kidnapping and trying to kill the woman I love,"

Daisy:

I woke up. I was sitting on the bed thinking about everything that had happened. What does Liam think of me now? That I'm a slut? The door opened and Liam stood in the doorway. He was looking at me.

"I thought you'd be awake by now. How are you feeling?" he asked me and smiled at me.

"Liam. I.. I shouldn't have told you. What do you think of me? That I'm a slut?" I whispered. He sat down next to me and took my hand.

"I think you're an amazing woman, Daisy. I think you're a strong person, despite everything. You might think I hate you, but I don't,"

"It was a huge mistake that I.. That I went to you. I should get out of your life as fast as I can, Liam," I said. He frowned at me and shook his head. I know he didn't like it.

"You'll forget this in a flash, Daisy. You're not going anywhere. And when you do, I'll find you."  I found you once and I'll do it again,"

"Liam. It's for the best. I'm ruining your life and," I whispered. I wanted to continue but he ran his finger over my lip. His nose touched mine.

"Go on," he said and brushed his lips against mine again. I closed my eyes. Why are you doing this to me?

"You're not going anywhere. And if you do, I'll find you. I've always found you. Your knees buckle when I touch you, when I kiss you. Do you think I don't see that?" he whispered in my ear and brushed his lips against my earlobe. I whimpered.

"You should forget about me," I said. He pushed me against the bed and kissed my neck. I bit my lip.

"I'm the only man who can touch you. The only one who makes you hold back a sigh, Daisy. I know you want this," he said, his lips brushing mine. I closed my eyes.

"I'll kiss you whenever I want. I'll touch you whenever I want. I know you won't tell me anything. You long for me to touch you. You long for you to be mine.  Your body trembles when I touch you," he whispered and kissed my shoulder. Oh my God Liam. Enough.

"Tell me.. Tell me you want me to kiss you. Promise me you won't leave and I'll do it Daisy.. Just one word,"

"I promise I won't leave," I whispered quietly but Liam heard it. He grabbed my face and kissed me.

I wanted to feel his touch. I wanted to feel his kisses. I hated it but it was true.

I knew if I went to him again, it wouldn't end well. I knew I would be his.
