A family discussion in the car

Evelyn

“What the fuck were you thinking, Liam?!” my daughter screamed at her brother sitting behind her. “She’s your mother for god’s sake!”

“I-I had to…” Liam muttered, crumpled up in the back seat. “He was going to claim her. I had to save her…” His voice was hoarse.

“Save her?!” She let out a bitter laugh. “That’s what you think you’ve done? You’re disgusting.”

But it was true. Liam had saved me, and it was perfect. I felt my heart tremble as I looked at my son’s hurt expression, wrecked by guilt. His happiness was everything to me now, and right now it was being ruined by her.

My daughter. She didn’t understand how right, how natural, it felt to be claimed by Liam. It simply had to be done. Liam was protecting me, and now it was my duty to protect him. Not just as his mother, but as his woman.

“Ashley!” I said sternly, snapping her out of her tantrum. “Liam saved both of us from that disgusting man, and you need to realize that.” I couldn’t hide the devotion in my voice.

“This is for the best, Liam,” I continued, looking reassuringly into my son’s eyes in the rearview mirror. “Now, nobody can take me away from you. We can stay a family.”

I heard Ashley swallow, fiddling with the strands of her hair nervously. “Mom… you’re not yourself anymore,” she said in a low voice. “You… belong to him now.”

“So what?!” I exclaimed without thinking. “I feel great! I feel… safer.”

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind as I looked at my daughter, fear noticeable in her eyes.

“Mom…” Liam muttered, seemingly aware of what I was imagining: my daughters and I on our knees in front of him, all of us his property, all of us together. Ready to serve him and make him happy while under his care and protection. My heart fluttered at the thought of my son claiming more women for himself. He deserved it all.

“Liam should claim you, too, Ashley,” I said with a joyful smile. “When you’ll understand. You’ll be safe from the other men. You know that he would never think to hurt you. Isn’t that right, Liam?” I continued, looking at my son adoringly.

He looked shocked that I would even suggest the idea. “I-I… of course not!” he stuttered.

“You can’t be serious…” Ashley whispered, her voice shaking. “Liam, don’t listen to her. She’s been brainwashed to think like this.”

“This is the only way,” I said resolutely. “Someone will try to take you away from us. We have to keep you safe. Liam wouldn’t take advantage.”

In my heart, I knew that I was lying. Liam could do whatever he wanted to us, of course. That was his right. However, if I could convince Ashley to be claimed willingly, I knew it would be easier for Liam to accept that this was for the best.

I subtly locked the car doors while Ashley continued arguing. She wouldn’t be able to escape right now anyway.
