"Looks like he's gone."

"How?" Damon was furious. His time with Anna had been interrupted so that he could hear this shit.

There had to be something more! How the fuck could one fucked up piece of crap get past all of Lucas' men?

"Anna... where's the meeting place?" Fury laced his words and she cowered back into her chair.

"Damon..." Lucas started.

"NO! Enough's a fucking 'nough! Anna you better fucking tell me now or so help me...." he broke off "We've been patient. We've tried talking. We've... fucking... tried... everything... to get you to talk. Take a look around here Anna and tell me what you see. You know what I see.. I see dozens of fucking men taken away from their families to be here because of you. You're the reason those men weren't home last night. You're the reason why we're all here!"

He picked up papers from the desk and threw them aside. Lucas watched in horror as his brother lost himself. His control was gone... something Lucas had only seen once before; the day they lost Julia. Damon was going to kill the man driving the other car. He was scared that he'd lose Anna too.

"Damon... calm the fuck down!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! How Lucas? You and I both know she has answers; fuck everyone here knows she has answers and what's she doing about it? Fucking nothing. Not a damn fucking thing!"

"Fucking hell brother you need to stop! Look at her!"

Damon didn't hear him. He was scared. Fucking scared of Frazer getting to Anna. He'd done it right under his very own nose so why wouldn't he get close in the future... he couldn't risk it. Anna belonged to him. He wasn't willing to admit that he really did love her, she owned him as much as he owned her. But... right now she needed to fucking talk!

"DAMON!!! LOOK AT HER!"

He looked and fell backwards in disbelief. She... he... FUCK!

He rushed to her and took her hands in his "Oh baby no... no... please baby... don't do this..."

Anna was frozen. She couldn't move. Her mind was blank to the words that were being used... she just knew they were being yelled. Yelling meant that she was bad, really bad.She wanted to be a good girl. Obedient. She knelt and held her head down.

"Fuck baby... please... I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry! Please... please."

He pulled her up and held her to him as he sat in the chair she'd vacated. He could slowly feel the life return to her body. The rigidness in her body lessoned as he slowly rocked her, whispering apologies and... love?

Lucas sat watching. He was going to enjoy killing Frazer for putting his family through this. The perverted piece of crap didn't deserve to live and he was just the person to make sure he didn't. He'd make him squirm. Hell he'd make him beg. He'd start with his fingers... no... his toes.. so the fucker couldn't run... and if he tried then it would just make it funnier. Yes, he'd fucking enjoy slicing the throat of Gregory fucking Frazer.

He watched them in silence as Anna slowly came back to reality. The fear in his brother's eyes was enough to remind him that he'd never love again. Not after her. His heart died when she died.

He wanted children, an heir to his man made kingdom and he'd get one. He didn't have to love someone to fuck them. He'd make a deal she couldn't refuse and when the time came he'd give her a choice. Stay as the childrens mother only or fuck off... leaving them behind. She would only serve the purpose of being his incubator because his heart was dead to love.

"The school" Anna whispered "in the gardeners shed."

Damon raised her face to his "Is that..."

She nodded. She was tired of playing helpless victim.
