An Encounter to Remember Pt.2

Calm and Quiet. The tiny cabin in the woods was so quiet. Lenè had slept alone on the floor after suffering from some kind of panic attack. She let Raya sleep peacefully on the bed Damien had reserved specially for her. The rest of the kids had slept peacefully as well , but Damien was painfully awake. He couldn't stop thinking about why he adopted Lenè. He quickly tried to switch his thoughts, he had looked at the time, 5:30am. Damien raised his hand watching it tremble, he was craving it. Sex. He wanted to be the man Lenè so desperately wanted, instead of calling one of his whores he stuck his hand down his trousers. He wanted to stop thinking about Lenè after all that was his daughter, but his thoughts drifted to her body, when he laid his body on top of hers, he felt her throb against him. He knew she felt the same way but her siblings got in the way of that. Damien stroked himself thinking of all of Lenè's sounds, her moan, her breasts, her thighs, her lips.

he kicked his trousers off as he was starting to climax as he never did before. He held his breath then let out several deep grunts. He reached over watching his hand loose its tremble. He grabbed a tissue, cleaning himself up before waking up Lenè and the kids. He put on his trousers, zipped his pants then washed his hands, then his face. He looked into the mirror almost angry at himself.

He slowly walked to the door, opening it quietly, he stood surprised when he saw Lenè.

"Darling!", he sounded surprised.

Lenè had tears coming from her eyes "I'm so sorry Father.", she had slowly walked towards Damien as he embraced her with open arms.

She sobbed for almost a minute as he held her, he noticed her hair was back tied up in a bun.

"I didn't mean to confuse you like that Father, I-, I- don't know why I did it. I'm sorry- that's all I can say. I can't do that again for Raya's sake".

Damien raised a brow "Raya shouldn't dictate your life darling. You are a grown woman, you choose who you want and what you want."

Lenè walked away from Damien and leaned her back against the wall "Who are you to say that? I can't leave, I can't start my life because you won't let me leave let alone take care of your own children!"

"Lenè, I kept you in my home to protect you, that is the same reason I bloody adopted you for! I didn't let you go to school outside of our home because I didn't want anything to happen to you."

"Every other kid had friends, father. Every other kid goes to school and there parents let them! Why not me Father!"

"Because I bloody love you!"

Lenè looked at Damien shocked, he saw the shock in her face.

He sat on his bed cupping his hands against his face.

He took a deep breath "I couldn't see you with anybody else, if I sent you to school, you could of fell in love... you could of left me Lenè."

Lenè fell silent, she folded her lips as she tried not to cry anymore. But silent tears had started flowing. She was frozen.

Damien made eye contact with Lenè " I should let you know now then, I love you in a romantic way. But for the sake of your mental health and for the sake of the children I'll stop."

"That's not how feelings work, father", she whispered.

Lenè turned her back and left Damien's room.

Damien closed his room door walking to the bathroom. He looked into the mirror before he punched his fist into it. He had completely shattered the glass. He looked at his hand pulling the stuck glass piece by piece out of his skin. He wrapped gauze around his wound after disinfecting it.

He walked out of his room to find Lenè dressed in a loosely wrapped dress along with all the children dressed. Even Devan, Damien's infant son was dressed in a fur jacket.

Damien grabbed Devan out of Lenè's hands and tossed him in the air. He heard his son giggle for the first time. Lenè looked surprised, she then looked down and held Thosa's hand. Lenè opened the door and proceeded to load the children into the car.

On the way to the research facility Damien held Devan and watched Raya instead of Lenè he couldn't help but to think if Raya were out of the way he'd be with Lenè.

The car had stopped at the research facility with no more words being said. Damien lifted his hand and Lenè had looked more closely to see that bandage around Damien's hand.

"Father!", she yelled. He immediately gave Devan to a maid that approached him. She pulled his hand, just as he was about to smile he saw the tears in Lenè's eyes, she quietly put his hand down and cried softly.Damien immediately held her "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you", he whispered into her ear. His hand had started shaking as he held her. He immediately let go of her and walked away. He held his hand and signaled the children to follow him inside. Lenè concerned, followed behind him while the children followed behind her. Inside, the man at the front made everyone grab a mask. He looked at Lenè "Hej hur mår du?"

He had asked how Lenè was. She smiled and replied "Jag kunde vara bättre, kusin!"

He raised his eyebrows and embraced Lenè "You remembered me!", he talked in English.

The man she had hugged was her cousin, she told him that she could be better.

He was the same age as Lenè, the two were not related but showed mutual respect towards one another.

"Hi, Damien", his tone of voice had changed.

"Hello Noah, how's your mom?"

"Busy, just working in the lab".

Noah smiled greeting each of the kids by name with a smile. Lenè smiled as he gave Thosa a high five.

"Would you like me to show all of you around, there's been changes".

Damien had agreed. Noah smiled and immediately took Lenè's hand and had signaled for the others to follow him.

Damien cracked his neck then followed, the children seemed to have fun but he was almost absent, mentally.

For almost the whole day, after the tour, he'd stay in his room. He satisfied his urge on last time before he washed his hands and left his room, it was already around midnight and no one had seen Damien since the tour.

Damien sat at the kitchen counter taking shots left out. Noah had come out from the lab hanging his lab coat then sat next to Damien asking him to pour the gin into his shot glass. "Mother missed seeing you today", he started at Damien.

"I slept for most of the day", Damien responded.

"Mm", Noah took a shot.

"You know? Raya had told me something today".

Damien clenched his cup feeling the wound in his hand pulse "She told me a secret, she told me sister Lenè is promiscuous".

Damien froze.

Noah leaned over and softly spoke in Damien's ear "I intend to find out for myself".

He stood up and slammed the shot glass on the table before looking back to see the look on Damien's face, his pale, cold face.
