Page 42 of Like Fathers, Like Son
“What the fuck do you mean, you know about that stuff? We always swore never to tell you guys anything about how we got together.” Well, if I hadn’t already known, I’d be suspicious now, right?
“Dad, I read mum’s diaries years ago, so I know everything. That’s the only reason I confided in you about what I wanted to do to Anneka. I get it, it’s fine, but it’s just not going the way I thought it would.”
He made a frustrated sound, that may have been a muffled curseword or two.
“What’s happening exactly? Have you uh… have you been intimate?” Now he’s being delicate? I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
“Did we fuck? Yeah, not that she was willing, and… uh…”
“Your mum told me… she was a virgin, yeah? That’s unexpected, but also pretty fucking perfect. You’ll be her only lover ever. What about birth control?”
Of course he’d go there.My dads had spent years making as many kids as they could, until mum had finally put her foot down. Five of us was enough, she swore, although of course, it almost became four of us because of that bitch upstairs.
“She’s not on anything. She said I’ll get her pregnant… and I kinda feel like I want to.”
“Yes, you do. I had that same urge, and you just have to go with it. She’ll come around, kiddo, she just needs time. Don’t do anything you can’t fix later, yeah?”
“Like don’t rape her? Too late for that, but how else was I going to punish her for what she did?”
Dad let out this long sigh, like he was trying to stall before he answered.
“Blaze, there were many people involved in what happened, so you can’t blame her for all of it.”
Like fuck, I can’t.She started it, and it all snowballed from there.
“I can, and I will. She’ll pop out a kid and then I’ll see if I want to keep her, but either way, I’ll keep the kid. You guys will help, right?”
“Not with the uh… early stuff, but yeah, come home with your child, and we’ll be here for you. You know that. Just remember though, some things can’t be undone, kid.”
“Thanks dad. I know I don’t say this very often, but I love you guys, and I’m so fucking relieved I had great parents like you, rather than that asshole who spawned Anneka.”
Anneka
I WOKE UP NAKED and cuffed to the bed again, and when I realised Blaze was leaning against the doorframe, watching me, I realised I was right back where I didn’t want to be; at his complete lack of mercy.
“Blaze, please,” I whispered, and shuddered as a grin spread across his face.
“Please what, babe? Please fill me with babies, because that’s all I’m good for? I will. Stop being so fucking demanding, yeah? First I want to watch you for a minute, because you see, Iamin control of absolutely everything now. The only way you get uncuffed is if I allow it. The only time I’ll trust you again, is if you fucking prove to me you can actually be trusted. Not that you’re particularly good at escaping. Say… on your little tour of the house, did you happen to spot the room in the basement?”
Oh god no. I started shaking my head frantically.
“You didn’t? Oh, remind me to show you sometime. That’s where my dads kept my mum, you know… when they first took her.”
What? I lifted my head, staring at him in horror.
“Your mum?”
He grinned widely. “Oh it’s a beautiful story, Anneka. See my dad, Dory, was obsessed with my mum, so he stalked her, and when he met my other dad, they kidnapped her.”
Oh my god, what the fuck!
“They did what?”
He laughed, coming over to sit on the bed, resting a hand on my naked thigh. I flinched at his touch, but knew it wasn’t going to dissuade him from touching me. Nothing would.
“Yeah, see, dad knew that mum wanted a baby, even though they’d never met. He figured he’d make one with her. And my other dad, Gray, well… We both know that you know my dads fuck too, don’t we? Anyway, they raped mum until she grew to love them, and made all of us kids with them.”
I flinched from his touch then, gaping in horror, wishing I could get further away from this monster, who’d been created by other monsters, and the only question was whether he was better than them, or much worse.
