Dark Division - Dani Ch. 14

"So, Nick says they heard a package is being moved tomorrow morning. It sounds like it might be Lily. Since we can't rule out that the bar is still involved, it makes sense for the four of us to stay put and wait it out."

"Okay. Oh my God though Vince...how can they call her a package? My baby is not a package...unless...do you think she's dead already?" Her eyes welled with tears as she looked at him.

"Hey, listen, it doesn't mean anything. She's worth more as leverage if she's alive, you know that. They want something from you or from me or the Dark Division or whatever. She's going to be okay Dani...come on...trust me." He held her against his coat for a moment, relishing in the feel of her against him.

"So, we wait until morning?" When she pulled back, he sighed as he took in the loss of her warmth as she stepped back. Her eyes were glued to the ground for a moment as she pulled herself together.

"Yep. Hey, why don't we play a game of pool, maybe have a drink...they're free." He tried a smile as he lifted up her chin with one of his fingers.

"Vince, can I ask you to do something for me?"

"Anything. You know I would always do anything for you Dani." He looked into her eyes and felt the pain there.

"Will you help me forget for a little while?"

"What do you mean?" He asked it easily and she leaned up capturing his lips.

"Help me forget that our little girl is out there scared right now Vince." She pulled back and looked at him, pleading for this little bit of relief.

"Are you sure?" The last thing Vince wanted to do was take advantage of Dani, but when she nodded her head he knew he wouldn't be. She was desperate to take the pain she was feeling away if only for a second in time.

He leaned into her capturing her mouth once more and the fire between them that had ebbed away for a few minutes was back instantly. Her hands framed his face as their tongues started to wrestle once more. Vince's own hands shirked his suit jacket throwing it onto the chair behind him. He cursed the fact that he had dressed up today. The tie around his neck seemed to constrict as he pulled Dani against him. The heat from her body oozed through his shirt.

Her hands left his face and started to unbutton his collar even as his own grabbed her head pulling her into him. In another second, her fingers loosened his tie tossing it to the side as she started back to work on the buttons from his stiff white shirt. He seized on her ass lifting her enough to put her on the pool table once more. She easily spread her legs and he was happy to slot in between them and fully against her once again.

"I forgot how good it was to kiss you." She whispered the words in the one second of a break she took from plundering between his lips.

Vince hummed low in his throat as he pushed her jacket off her shoulders. Her arms went back for a second and she tossed the leather coat to the side. Before she could return her fingers to his shirt, Vince was done with the few buttons on her shirt and she parted from his lips long enough to facilitate its removal. He stopped once it was removed and leaned his forehead against hers taking in a breath as she moved back to finish the buttons of his shirt. Her black satin bra accentuated her beautiful breasts that he had missed so much. The smoothness of her flesh slid upward into each cup perfectly and he felt his body respond strongly to the sight of her exposed skin.

"You're so beautiful." He sighed as she pulled the bottom of his shirt from his pants and her fingers sprang to his wrists to finish the last buttons. His hands were once more framing her face and he tilted her up to look into her eyes. She quickly recaptured his lips as her fingers slid along his undershirt and over his shoulders.

He shucked the shirt easily and then pulled back enough to reach over his head and pull the last layer separating him from her off. Once it was free, he pressed his chest to hers, wanting to feel her against him. She let her fingers slide up along his neck and scratched her nails through the short hairs there as he continued to kiss her mouth.

Vince leaned forward and Dani gave willingly until she was laid back against the green felt of the table. Once there, his mouth trailed down her jaw and over her throat taking in the tang of her sweat and the feel of her pulse as he moved down the side, sucking softly just where she liked. He remembered every inch of her and yet it seemed like the first time he was seeing it. His hands framed her chest and slid around her back, unclipping her bra and pulling it off. He almost didn't want to pull away for fear that this was still a dream of his somehow, one he had had too many times.

"Man, I missed your body." He moaned the words softly as his lips found her now exposed right nipple and she finished removing her bra to give him complete access to her skin.

Vince lavished her chest with attention before he continued a slow trail down her stomach. She was a little softer now around her middle, perhaps from having Lily or maybe just from less working out. Vince was thrilled, loving the softer curve of her stomach as opposed to the hard muscle she used to have down her abdomen. This new version of Dani was so perfect and right now it was so perfectly his.

He looked up as he reached the top of her jeans and unbuttoned them while he watched her eyes. She had pulled up on her elbows to watch him. Vince's fingers unzipped the fabric slowly and Dani lifted her hips as he slid them down. Her exposed legs made his mouth water and he smiled at the black cotton boy shorts that she wore. At least some parts of her had not changed.

A quick motion with each foot sliding off her shoes allowed the final removal of the denim. Her socks easily slid off and then he allowed his fingers to ghost over her skin. She sat up pulling him from his crouched position upwards so that their mouths could connect. Dani moved instantly to rough kisses, Vince could feel her need through every touch of her lips. Her fingers seized on his belt and she pulled it roughly to unclasp it. Vince's own need spiked as he felt her hunger.

He took over on his pants pulling them down and quickly stepping out of his shoes before shoving his socks off of his feet. Part of him wanted to draw this out, enjoy every moment she would offer, but another part couldn't hold back his desire for her. He pulled her still clothed sex against his own and felt the heat of her encompass his cock. It stiffened immediately in response. Her legs wrapped around him and she shifted her hips upward. He groaned reflexively, and she moaned into his mouth almost in unison.

Dani pulled back from kissing him, and stared into his eyes as she shifted herself backwards across the felt more. When she was fully laid on the table, her fingers slid into the sides of her panties and she slid them off tossing them to the side. Those burning eyes that Vince could never get out of his head stared through him and he quickly slid his own briefs down before mounting the table to follow her.

When he captured her mouth again, he easily moved between her legs letting her slick guide him. He was pressed flush to her pussy and he nearly came just from the feel of her body. Her hands threaded into his hair again and he heard her breath hitch.

"Be gentle with me, it's been a few years." She said the words and he pulled back looking into her face. He just looked at her for a moment, taking in the lust- blown eyes and flushed cheeks that had been in every fantasy of his for so long.

"I'll try, but it's been a few years for me too."

"What? You haven't...since...?"

"Nope, haven't wanted to since you left."

"Well, shit, let's hope we can remember how." A small smile crept across her face and he smiled back.

"It's like riding a bike, I think. But, tell me if it hurts okay?"

"Okay." She whispered and Vince reached down lining himself up. Her wet heat enveloped his head in the next second, and his mind reeled. Another inch in, and he remembered exactly how amazing Dani's body felt. He looked up to see her face as he slid more in and saw her wince suddenly. Vince froze and tried to calm his breathing.

"Hey, do you need me to stop?" He felt the muscles in his arms twitch as he held himself at bay. Vince wanted nothing more than to plunge into her and be completely encased in all that was Dani, but he held himself back from it.

"No, just go slow." She opened her eyes and he slowly eased in, taking in the sensations as he moved further and further. When he bottomed out, she gasped and he held still trying not to think about how amazing her body felt.

"Fuck, you feel too good. Please God don't clench right now."

"Wow, I forgot what this was like. Unh, Vince..." He looked at her face and her mouth hung open. It made it even harder to hold himself in control. She was always so gorgeous like this. "You can move...but slow okay."

"Okay." He was breathless as he struggled to keep himself on track. He slid out of her and slowly back in sending a jolt right through his spine as the pleasure threatened to steal his senses completely.

"Unh...yes." Her head rocked back as he repeated the motion and he focused in on the intensity of being this close with her, being buried in her. His movements were shallower then as only just enough to make her gasp with each insertion. He didn't want to let himself have more leeway than that for fear that he would lose control completely and pound into her like his body craved.

From then, it seemed a blissful eternity that enveloped them. The bubble seemed to lock out the world as it was just the two of them together as one. Vince continued his slow motions, hovering his mouth close to hers to try to breath in her pleasure from her very breath. Sweat erupted across his skin, making it slide easier and easier along hers as the delicious push and pull of her pussy overtook his thoughts. Everything was gone but the feeling of being surrounded by her each time he thrust inside.

"Vince...I..."

"Yea baby...what?"

"Please...faster...I'm...please." Her broken words were enough. It was what he wanted that she was saying. Vince sped up ever so slightly, tilting his hips at the end of each insertion and leaning to lick across her lips with his pointed tongue. He watched as her breathing quickened and her eyes locked on his. Her brow furrowed and then relaxed as she screamed out. In another instant, her pupils pulsed just as her pussy started to do the same around him. He moaned into the feeling, holding himself in check and letting her tilt her hips as she rhythmically pulsed on him.

"So beautiful...fuck...so beautiful..." He trailed the words out, feeling her start to still. His cock twitched as he started to move into her once more.

"Oh yes...more..." Dani clutched at his back and head, digging her fingers in as Vince rocked into her body. Another few movements and she arched up, her pussy seizing on him again, even harder than the last time and Vince held on watching her come apart beneath him once more.

"Jesus Dani...I'm so close baby."

"Yes, let me feel you cum, please." She almost begged and it was enough to send him over the edge with one more thrust. He buried himself to the hilt and let out a long moan as he looked into her face. His hips shifted on their own carrying him through his release. When he regained his breath, he relaxed against her letting their bodies touch as he moved his elbows up along her head. Her hands wrapped around his lower back and he leaned down to capture her mouth.

"I love you Dani." His voice was soft as he spoke the words to her.

"I love you too Vince." Their lips met then in a soft kiss that erased all the bad, all the hurt, all the pain of their time apart.

They lay in each other's arms for a while before parting to get dressed.

"That scar's new." Vince looked up from pulling on his own briefs motioning to where Dani was pulling her panties up.

"It's um...it's from Lily."

"Oh, I'm sorry." He felt bad instantly for asking about it.

"Don't be. I don't regret anything about having her." Dani had turned finding her bra and was putting it on when a lightbulb went on in Vince's brain.

"Shit, Dani. I didn't mean to...I mean I should have pulled out at least. Fuck, I don't know what to..."

"It's okay. I can't have any more kids after her Vince. I had a lot of problems." She hung her head and turned to grab her jeans from the floor.

"Damn, I didn't know. I wish I had been here to help or..."

"Vince, don't please...let's just focus on getting her back."

"Alright. Well, um, how about that drink? I'm buying." He smiled at her and she returned it half-heartedly.

"Sounds good. Here's your shirt, by the way."

***********************

"Oz, hey wake up man. There's movement happening." Nick saw a black van pull up outside the barn where the two had been staked out all night. The old man was asleep in the backseat, and jolted upright at the mention.

"Shit. You got your ears on?" He was instantly in action, just like he always had been. Oz was the best agent Nick knew, which is why he had been sitting and considering his earlier comments before the van pulled up. Truth be told, Nick hadn't thought about his future with the Agency. Vince had always reminded him not to, saying it was a recipe for disaster. After all, most agents didn't make it that long before burning out or worse. But, Nick knew Oz well enough to know that his words earlier meant something. He just didn't know what yet.

"Yea, just started listening. They're talking about how Dillon hasn't checked in. Hang on; sounds like the guy that arrived killed him. It seems he feeds on flesh and took the strip Dillon is missing."

"Nasty. What else? Anything about the girl?" Nick motioned for him to wait a moment as he listened to the rest of the conversation through the headphones while he held up the long range device.

"They're going to pick up the package at the...shit...at the bar when they meet up with Dillon's connection. It seems like they're hooking up there before going to the ritual location."

"Jesus. I'll text Vince and Dani, hope they're not otherwise engaged. I'll tell them to unlock the bar. Maybe we can get them all contained in there and end this thing."

"Oz, hang on. The package is already at the ritual. Goddamnit."

"Wait, what?"

"She's prepped and ready to take the master's soul." Nick's face dropped. Now, they knew that these guys were talking about Lily. They were planning a transference spell, which thankfully required live hosts. Unfortunately, it also meant that little girl was probably strapped down somewhere with a bunch of freaks around her. His skin practically crawled as they ducked down when the barn emptied out. Soon all four cars parked outside were on the road.

"Look, we planted the tracker and I warned Vince and Dani to unlock the door and stay alert. You and I are going in there to make sure the barn is empty. This time we aren't leaving anyone behind to haunt us." Oz spoke gruffly and the two men pulled their guns out exiting the car and heading for the old structure in the dim predawn light.

***************************

"So, her first word was dada?" Vince had another shot in front of him as they sat catching on up on the missed time between the two of them. They were only lit by one lamp over the bar and it made it almost magical to talk to Dani. He wished the night would never end. Unfortunately, he knew it would which is why he had paced himself with the drinks and by doing so forced Dani to follow his lead.

"Of course it was, like fate's little way of telling me to go to hell. I was pissed too. But, then how can you be pissed at this face?" She pulled out her phone and started scrolling through the photographs she had of Lily.

"My God, she's beautiful Dani. I mean she has my hair, but her face is just like yours."

"Except for that damn smirk. That smirk is all yours and I have a feeling it's going to get her in trouble one day. I'm not looking forward to her teenage years."

"Well, I mean I won't let anyone touch my little girl..." He paused at the end of his words; they had come out a little too easily.

"Listen, Vince...I know this was all sudden, and trust me I never meant to put you in this position, but what happens when we get her back?"

"I don't know. I mean now that I know I have a daughter; I want to know her."

"I understand that, but at the same time I can't have her in danger. I would rather you hate me and run away to keep her from being hurt ever again. Look at me now though, whatever it is still found me. I thought I would be safe if I left and just changed everything. But, I'm not and neither is she."

"It's not your fault that some asshole took her. And, well you know I'll protect her just like I would you."

"I know, but I just can't take any risks like that. Maybe the best thing is for you to just be a friend of mine in her eyes and you can see her once in a while, but not often Vince."

"Wait a second, you kept her from me all this time and now you expect me to just disappear and leave my own kid. I don't want to leave her or you frankly."

"Then, I'll leave Vince and you won't find me. You know I can hide with the best of them. If you won't leave her to grow up safe and normal, then I'll have to take her away."

"That's not fair Dani. She's my kid too."

"Then act like it and choose what's best for her. She's not a way to have me you know."

"You think that's what this is about? I'm not trying to use her to have you. I love you, but I understand if you don't want that. Lily is a different story, though, she's my flesh and blood and there's no way I'll leave her."

"Fuck, did you hear that?" Dani's face froze and she turned her head a little. It had been a faint noise, but a noise nonetheless. Vince immediately reached the light over the bar and clicked it off plunging them into the dim light of the morning sun rising. They had lost track of the time as they were talking.

Dani jumped from her bar stool and joined him behind the bar crouching down. Vince went to fire off a quick text to Nick letting him know that someone was at the bar, when he saw the message he had missed just a few minutes before from Oz.

"Damnit, we were supposed to unlock the doors." Vince cursed under his breath as Dani reached up angling a mirror she found behind the bar so she could see the front door.

"What?" She whispered to him and Vince showed her the phone.

"Okay, just go to the end and we'll go under the gate and hide where we can until the whole lot gets here." His phone received another message as he spoke and he looked down.

"What's up?" Dani had her gun in her hand that had been on the bar before. Vince hadn't seen her move to get it and he marveled at how little she had lost in the reflex department.

"Nick and Oz cleared the barn and they're on the way. Hopefully, just a few minutes and we can start killing assholes."

"Dillon? Dillon, where are you man? You're supposed to be ready." A man's voice rang through the empty bar. "I had to get out my damn key and let myself in, what's the deal?" They heard the sound of the second set of doors unlatch and then the footsteps of two men as they roamed through the bar in search of their long dead companion.

"He better get his shit together, because the others are on their way here. Looks like the thing is trying to get this moving; said something about information being compromised." A deeper voice sounded from the middle of the bar as Dani and Vince ducked around to the bathroom hallway. They stood up, pressed against the wall, both ready for a full on fire fight.

Vince pulled his phone out slowly and handed it to Dani who stood behind him. She looked down to see a text from Oz saying they would be at the bar in fifteen minutes, but everyone else was at least ten minutes ahead of them. She nodded at Vince and passed back the phone.
