Marc's POV

Alex and I had been sitting and talking about what we are going to do with Evan. Alex was thrilled he was going to get a hand on torturing him.

"I wish they would hurry up! I am ready to play!" Alex said as his knee bounced as he sat drumming his fingers. He never likes to sit still and when he has an idea, you can't stop him. A few minutes later Damian and Cas walk through the door. Damian has a huge grin on his face as he holds onto her hand.

"So how did it go?" I ask.

"It was amazing, man. We got to hear the heartbeat and everything." Damian says.

"I am about six weeks along and the baby is healthy. I have another appointment in four weeks, and hopefully after that we can find out what we are having." Cassandra adds.

We both get up and hug them.

"Congratulations to both of you. This is great. I'm going to be an uncle." I say happily.

"Congrats, I can't wait to spoil him or her. I will be the favorite." Alex says with a laugh. I just shake my head. Cas says she is going to call Riley and go take a nap.

"Can we go now?" Damian asks excitedly.

"Yes, man child we can go now."

"Let me go tell Cas we are leaving first."

He runs up to tell Cas and we are soon headed out to the warehouse. Alex is humming in the back seat. We eventually arrive and get out. Good thing though if it was any longer, I might kill Alex myself. We almost have to run to keep up with him. Once we are inside we head downstairs and the guards let us in. The smell hits us as soon as we enter. It's only been a couple days but dang. This guy smells. His father must have died because he is no longer here.

"Damn man, you stink!" Damian says, trying not to breathe in the smell.

"What do you expect. I have been left in this room for days with nothing."

"You're lucky we left you in a chair." I answer.

"Alright guys, hoist him up." Damian says.

Two guards come in and pull Evan up and Hang him from the ceiling from his arms. He doesn't fit much. I don't think he has anything left to fight with. He hangs limply with his head down.

"Alright Alex, play time. You have earned it." Damian says to Alex as he jumps up and runs over to Evan.

"Yes! Finally!" He walks over to the table and picks up several small knives. He starts circling Evan.

"So, you didn't learn the last time we met, did you? You must not be very smart since you are here again."

"Fuck you!" He spat at Alex.

Hmmm, still not talking. You almost took me out but I'm still here. Not sure about you though."

"Still not talking."

Alex stepped back a bit and threw one of the knives and it landed in Evan's shoulder. He screamed out. Still not talking. Alex lets go of a couple more, landing in the other shoulder and thigh. He walked up to him and asked again. He twisted the knife in his shoulder. He screamed out again. Alex stepped back for a moment and I stepped in and punched him a few times again, focusing on the ribs I broke the other day. This went on for several hours. He was hit and stabbed many times, and on the verge of passing out. Damian was just sitting back and watching the torture, and then he stood up and walked over to him and pulled his head back.

"Are you going to talk or are we just going to get rid of you. I have run out of patience. I'm going to ask one more time. What do the Irish want?"

"Alright, I 'll talk. They want your turf and your women, especially Riley. Thomas wants her and will stop at nothing to get her and if he can't then he says no one will have her. He has gone into hiding. Noone knows where he is. Only his right hand man knows and that is who we have seen lately."

"Is that everything?"

"Yes, I swear!"

Damian pulls out his gun and aims it at Evan's forehead.

"Wait, I told you everything! You have to let me go!"

"I never said that. You and your gang will never be a problem again."

Bang!

"Evans' body slumps down as Damian turns and walks to the door.

"Let's go boys. We have women at home who need us. Guys clean this up and head home after you lock up."

We head out and get in the car. My phone starts to ring and I pick up.

"Hello?"

---------

"Whoa, slow down man! What happened?"

----------

"You're kidding me! Is she alright?"

-----------

"We'll be there as quick as we can!" I hang up and peel out of the parking lot heading to the bakery. Burning through stops signs and speeding through some stops lights. We eventually pull up and I park. I hump out running to find her. I can't find her anywhere. Where is she? I finally find her sitting in the back of the ambulance. She is wrapped in a blanket with an oxygen mask on. I quickly ran to her, pulling her into me, and holding her tight.

"Are you alright princess?"

"It's gone! All gone!" She cries as she grips my shirt. My heart is breaking for her. This was her dream and it is going up in flames in front of us. I am sitting with her as Tony walks up to us.

"Hey, man. Just thought you should see this. I found it stuck to her car." He handed me an envelope and I opened it up to read it.

Damian,

Let this be a warning. I am coming for you and I am coming for her. She belongs to me and I want her. Nothing will stop me from getting what I want. Let this be a warning. Next time she won't come out.

I am seeing red. Who does this jerk think he is. That S.O.B.!

Damian walks over and I hand him the letter. His face turns red and he walks away for a moment. Eventually he walks back.

"Are you alright, Riley?" he asks.

"Yes, I am okay. Thanks to Tony. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made it out."

"Thanks Tony. I owe you. I am glad I made you take him along." I say patting his shoulder.

"Your welcome. I know how much she means to you. She will always be safe with me."

"Just looking around for clues around your car and I found a pie. Were you bringing this home for me?" Alex asks as he walks up.

"Yes, I knew it was your favorite. Thought it would cheer you up."

"Thanks Riley. You know the way to a guy's heart."

"Watch it man. She's mine. I don't care if you just got out of the hospital. I'll put you back in." I say glaring at him.

"Whoa, dude. I was only playing." He raised his arms in surrender and I just laughed at him. He just shakes his head and walks away. The EMT's say that they need to take Riley to the hospital to get her checked out and for us to follow them. We finally arrive and they take her inside. They lead us into a room and the doctor comes in to examine her. After some tests are run we are able to go home. We all climb in the suv and head home. I park the car at home and look over and see my princess is asleep. I walk over to her side and pick her up. We all head inside and Alex heads into the kitchen and cuts himself a slice of his pie. Cas comes in from the living room and sees me carrying Riley.

"Oh, my god. What happened to her?"

"The bakery was burned down and she and Tony were inside. He got them out. She is okay, just needs some rest." I answer.

"Oh my, that was her dream. She bought that place with the money her parents left her. She is going to be devastated."

"I know."

"This is the last pie I will get. This is sad." He says as he pouts. "Ow!" He says rubbing the back of his head after Damian smacked it. "I was just kidding."

We all shake our heads.

"I am going to take her to bed. She is exhausted."

"We will see her in the morning. I am so glad she has you. She would be lost without you." Cas says.

"Yeah, and if I weren't around this would never have happened either." I say as I carry my princess to our room. I walk in and close the door with my foot. I lay her down on the bed and take off her clothes and place one of my t-shirts on her and cover her up. I strip down to my boxer briefs and climb in behind her pulling her body against mine. I kiss the back of her head and she mumbles in her sleep.

"I love you, please don't leave me."

"Never princess. I will always be here."

As the adrenaline wears off, I feel my eyes grow heavy and I can't fight sleep. A few hours later I am awoken by screams and Riley thrashing around in her sleep.

"No, stop! Marc help! I can't get out, someone please help me!"

"Princess, wake up. I'm here. You're okay. It's just a dream. Wake up."

After a few seconds she wakes up and wraps herself around me. I hold her tight and caress her hair.

'Shhh, it's okay. It was a bad dream. You're okay."

"It was horrible. I was in that fire and I couldn't get out. I could see you outside and I couldn't get to you."

"You're okay princess. Nothing is going to get you. I've got you." I kiss her forehead and rub her arm.

"Uggh, I smell like smoke, I need a shower." She says as she gets out of bed and heads into the bathroom. She gets to the door and turns around to me. "Are you coming?"

"Not yet." I say as I jump out of bed and head in behind her. She is already in the shower and I walk in behind her, pressing my body to her back as I run my hands up and down her sides. She turns around and puts her head under the water and I run my hands through her hair as the water runs over it. I grab her shampoo and begin to lather her hair and massage her scalp. She leans her head back to wash the soap out. I grab the sponge and apply her soap and start to wash her body. Starting at her shoulders and slowly washing down her dobby to her legs. Slowly lifting each as I wash her feet. I tell her to turn around and I wash her back as I stand up. The water runs down her body as it rinses the soap away. I stand up and turn her around as I press my lips to hers. She opens her lips as I slide my tongue against hers. I start to kiss down her jaw to below her ear and find her sweet spot as she moans. My hands slide up to her breasts as I massage them. She lets out another moan as my hand slides down to her folds and I find her bud. I begin to circle it as I feel her body begin to shake as her orgasm begins to hit her.

"Oh, Marc! Please, fuck me!"

"Whatever you want princess."

I grab behind her knees as I pick her up and brace her against the shower wall as I slide into her wet pussy.

"Yess! Harder!"

I begin to trust harder and faster as I feel her nails dig into my back. I kiss and suck along her neck. I start to feel her walls tighten around my cock as she begins to scream my name and I am not far behind her. I keep thrusting through her orgasm as she gets tighter and I can't hold on any longer. I feel myself explode inside her as I moan her name.

"Aggh, Riiilleyy!"

"MMM, Marc. Wow."

"That was incredible." then I realized we didn't have a condom.

"Umm, riley. We forgot. The condom." She just looks at me with fear in her eyes. "You know if it happens, I will be so happy."

"Are you sure? You're not just saying it?"

"Look, I want it all with you. You are it. I love you."

"I love you too."

I kiss her lips and let her stand up. I go grab towels for us and we go lay down. She curls up on my chest and I wrap my arms around her.

"Good night princess."

"Good night tough guy."

We close our eyes and we both are fast asleep.
