The Family Ritual Ch. 46

Finally, Miriam did something with her muscles that felt as if his semen were being pulled from him. Matthew was trembling as his semen at first tricked out, then stopped, then sent more and then finally he exploded into Miriam.

Matthew fell on top of her exhausted. When he was able he kissed her cheek and was helped up by Kenneth and Blake and with Helen led away.

Catherine brought water and some soup and crackers for her mother. For the next hour Miriam ate and drank. Kenneth nodded at her and she nodded back. It was time. Lady Catherine brought her naked mother over to the pillars where she was secured.

Matthew had regained his strength and was once again in his white silk pants. He held the flogger in his hand.

Kenneth stood in front of Miriam and said, "You had a long and happy life with Lance and now he's gone. Tell us how you feel about your husband."

Matthew picked up the flogger and began. THWACK, THWACK, THWACK!

Miriam moaned, "I loved my husband. I will miss him terribly." She cried. "When he first took me I thought I would die. His dick was so huge it tore me." THWACK!

"I had surgery and it took me six months before I was able to take Lance's big prick all the way in my pussy." THWACK!

"After that l wore a butt plug for a year before he took my ass and even then I thought I would die." THWACK!

Miriam groaned, "Uh, Lance was not the easiest of men. He could be full of himself and he could be self-centered caring for his own pleasures, but he loved me and our children." THWACK!

Miriam cried out, "I miss you Lance!"

"Tell us what you miss." Kenneth said soothingly.

"I miss sucking his large cock every morning. He liked me to make him cum twice before he started his day," THWACK! THWACK!

"Oh God" Miriam said crying, "I, I, uhm miss him slamming his cock in my mouth and licking my pussy." THWACK!

"I miss him fucking my ass and grabbing my hips in his hands." Miriam said and Matthew ran his hand down her back. She shivered.

"I miss his hard cock in my pussy taking me. But most importantly I miss being on my knees worshiping it. I was his submissive, but I truly wanted to be his slave." Miriam said as Matthew brought the flogger down on her buttocks and back three more times.

She passed out. Silent tears were falling from Catherine's eyes as she saw her mother taken down from the columns. All the women brought Miriam to the bathroom and put her in a warm bath. They washed her and dressed her in a black nightgown. Kenneth came into the bathroom and picked her up. He carried her to the bed whose sheets had been changed and placed her in bed.

Each person kissed her cheek and they stood around the bed. Valentina passed out glasses of champagne. They raised their glasses and said, "To Lance, may he rest in peace"

Lady Catherine said nothing, but tears were falling from her eyes. One by one they left the room. Miriam would sleep here. In the morning Lady Catherine would help her dress and she would begin to heal.

Lord Thomas took his wife back to Mason's house. She was exhausted. Daniela was waiting as they returned; Mason was at the restaurant and would be home sometime in the wee hours of the morning.

Daniela helped Lady Catherine into bed and brought in a tray with food. She fed her mother-in-law and after Catherine was finished she wept in Daniela's arms. Daniela held her and then went to Lady Catherine's purse and took out the letter. Catherine said nothing as Daniela opened it and began to read...

"My dear daughter:

I am so sorry. I know I've said this to you many times. You don't have to forgive me for me, but for yourself. If I could change anything in my life it would be the moment I hurt you. I know our family ritual is difficult and I know I made it even more difficult with the way I handled things.

I am a flawed man. I admit that, but I have always loved you. I beg you to forgive me for yourself so you don't have to carry this hatred around for the rest of your life.

I love you my Katie, I love you more than life,

Your father

***

Catherine wailed, she cried, she beat her fists on the bed. "You fucking asshole. I hate you, I hate you." She blubbered. Daniela let her cry it all out. Lord Thomas listened outside the door. He knew that she needed this and he was glad that Daniela was there for her.

Catherine cried and Daniela handed her the letter. Lady Catherine broke down holding the letter and weeping over it. Daniela let her cry.

Mason arrived home and Lord Thomas took him aside to tell him what was happening. Daniela and Catherine had been in the bedroom for hours.

Mason went to check on the children who were sound asleep in their bed. He went into the living room and over to the bar. He took out a bottle of scotch and poured three glasses and put ice cubes into them. He handed one to his father and then went to the bedroom and knocked on the door. Daniela opened the door and Mason handed her the glass. She nodded and closed the door.

Daniela handed the glass of scotch to her mother-in-law who drank it down in one gulp.

It was another hour before Daniela came out of the bedroom. She walked over to Lord Thomas and said, "She wants to see you. I think she'll be fine now."

Lord Thomas smiled at her, "Thank you so much my daughter." He said and took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

Mason hugged both Lord Thomas and his wife. Thomas disengaged himself and went to be with his wife. Daniela collapsed into Mason's arms from exhaustion. He picked her up in his arms and took her into the bedroom where she cried and held onto him as he held her.

The Funeral Ritual for Lance Julius Cassidy was over.

***

The next morning there was lightness around Lady Catherine that Mason hadn't seen ever! His mother was laughing and playing with the twins, but it was different; she was different. She stood up and came over to Mason and hugged him.

"How are you doing?" Mason asked.

"I'm fine, better than I've been in a very long time. I spoke with your grandmother and I'm going to see her in a few minutes. Your wife is a gem, don't you ever make her unhappy or you'll have to answer to me. I want you to get ready to leave for your honeymoon. You two need to get away."

Mason smiled, "After the Board Meeting."

Lady Catherine nodded. Mason went into the bedroom where Daniela was still asleep.

Mason kissed her awake. Daniela slowly opened her eyes and stared up at him. "Hello Sir, how are you?"

"How are you?" He asked, "You've made my mother into another person. She seems much happier and at peace. She told me that I am to keep you happy or answer to her."

Daniela smiled and pulled him close; lightly kissing Mason's lips, "She's good then?"

"Better than good, she's leaving to see grandmother. I plan to bring you breakfast in bed and your babies. I want you to relax today. We will leave on our delayed honeymoon in a week, after the board meeting."

"Where are we going?" Daniela asked fixing his tie.

"We are going to..."Mason stopped and smiled, "You'll just have to be surprised."

Daniela laughed and so did Mason.

***

Lord and Lady Catherine talked for hours and in the end they decided that they would spend some time together away from everyone as soon as the board Meeting was over. They hadn't been to Australia in some time so they planned a second honeymoon.

***

Valentina was thrilled to learn that her sister was returning to New York. Derrick had asked if Valentina would go house hunting with them. Blake agreed that she could go as long as she wasn't tired out. The baby had been keeping Valentina up. She and Blake decided they wanted to be surprised so they didn't know what they were having.

Blake surprised her with a designer who helped her plan the nursery. He had a special surprise for her after the birth which he was keeping a secret. Blake thought about how much he loved Valentina. She made him happy every single day.

***

Lacy had been speaking to her mother every day. Gertie was due to arrive in February and was looking forward to seeing both her daughters.

Derrick encouraged Lacy to return to school when they came back to New York. He wanted her to be busy and he wanted her to be available. She needed to learn how to cook and take care of a home. Derrick was beginning work on a new film project with Brandon. He had left for work and Lacy was starting to pack for their trip to NY to find a home when Amber knocked at the door.

"Hello Amber." Lacy said hesitantly as she opened the door. The housekeeper and the butler were busy in other parts of the house. Amber breezed past Lacy.

"I need to talk to you" She said, her voice clipped.

Lacy sighed. She was in no mood for Amber. She had, awoken with a headache. She had just had breakfast and was getting ready to leave for the gym for a workout.

Amber walked into the living room and sat down on the white sofa. "I need you to change your plans. You cannot take my son to New York and you definitely can't have this wedding there. This is his home, you selfish bitch."

Lacy, her hands on her hips stared Amber down, "Me? Selfish? We both know who the selfish one is here and we both know that your son is leaving because you are obsessed with him. We are moving to New York and we are getting married there."

Amber stood up, "No you're not."

"Yes I am." Lacy said and turned around to leave. Amber grabbed Lacy by her hair and pulled her back.

"You little bitch; I'm going to whip your ass until you agree not to take my son from me." Amber said her face enraged.

Lacy screamed and Hendrick the butler came running from upstairs. "Mrs. Kennedy, Miss Lacy, please ladies, stop."

Amber released Lacy. Lacy grabbed her hair, "You crazy bitch, I'm calling Derrick. He'll deal with you." She said and to Hendrick, Lacy said, "Thank you" and she ran upstairs to the bedroom.

Amber grunted and left the house. She got into her Mercedes convertible and drove away angry.

Lacy, tears stinging her eyes spoke with Derrick. He had, had enough and told Lacy that he would take care of everything.

Derrick called his father, who had gone back to D.C. "Mother is really off her rocker. I'm moving to New York as soon as possible and she may never see me again. What's gotten into her?" Derrick said exasperated.

Alan sighed, "She's jealous because of Lacy. She knows that you truly love Lacy and that's a problem for your mother. I will tell you what you need to do and then yes, you and Lacy should move to New York to give your mother a chance to heal."

***

Derrick went back to work. Later that evening he called Lacy to tell her he would be home late. Driving to his parent's house he opened the door to find his mother having dinner alone.

She smiled at him, but seeing his face her smile faded. "I guess the cunt told you that I dropped by."

Derrick walked over to Amber and slapped her hard on her face. Amber looked at him as if he had stabbed a knife in her heart. "Strip" Derrick said.

Amber smiled. Derrick slapped her again, "You think this is funny, I said STRIP!"

Tears pricked Amber's eyes as she took off her sweater and pants. She was dressed in socks, underwear and a bra.

"ALL OF IT!" Derrick's voice boomed in the room.

Amber undressed and looked down at the floor. Derrick walked around her, "You are never to speak to Lacy the way you talked to her today. You are never to touch her again."

Derrick grabbed his mother by her blond hair and pulled her to the door that led to the playroom.

In the playroom, Derrick tied her hands and then attached her bound hands to a hook. He pulled on the rope so that Amber was dangling. Picking up a whip he held it in front of her. "I've instructed Jackson to arrive here in two hours to let you down and take care of you. But right now I am going to whip you. This is for my pleasure and your punishment. It's what you want, isn't it mother? You thought I'd punish you and then fuck you, but I will never fuck you again, not even for the wedding night ritual. I had a discussion with Blake and Kenneth and they said that because of your obsession the only thing you'll be allowed to do is suck my bride's pussy.

When I finish whipping you, I'm going home to Lacy and fuck her." Derrick said as he stared into his mother's eyes.

"NOOOO!" Amber said, "Please fuck me, please Derrick, I want your cock, I need your cock."

Derrick went behind her so she couldn't see the tears in his eyes. He hated to do this, but Alan told him it was the only way and so Derrick began to whip his mother.

***

Jackson found his mother still tied and unconscious. He and Pedro took her down and took care of her wounds. She moaned but said nothing. They put her to bed and stayed with her. Derrick's marks would be on her body, some of them for a very long time; even with the formula. He had not made her bleed, but he had made sure that Amber knew he was serious.

Amber knew she had lost him and her heart ached, but she accepted this. She had no choice.

When Alan came home two days later, Amber was better and quieter. She apologized to her husband and she knew that she had to let Derrick go. She tried to call him but he had blocked her number.

"Derrick will come around, just give him time. I'll speak to him, but Amber I want you to get some therapy. I want you to take this time to get yourself together. Derrick loves this woman. She's going to be his wife. She's young and beautiful. You are beautiful and I see you as the woman I married long ago. I love you, but don't wreck this for your son, he will never forgive you." Alan said putting his arm around his wife.

Amber cried for the first time in a very long time and Alan knew she would be fine.

When Derrick arrived home after whipping his mother, he found Lacy waiting in the bedroom on her knees. He had called her and ordered her to be there. Derrick was in heat. He looked at Lacy's naked body kneeling with his collar around her neck and he grabbed her by her hair. Unzipping his pants he pulled out his hard cock and shoved it down her throat. Derrick fucked in and out of her mouth hard while Lacy sucked him.

"That's it baby, take my dick. That mouth belongs to me. You belong to me. You don't have to worry about my mother anymore. We are moving to New York in the next week or so. We'll be back here just to pack up." Derrick said fucking in and out. He held onto Lacy's ponytail as he moved his hips.

He was close to cumming but didn't want to just yet so he pulled out. "On the bed, on your knees" He said as he went into his walk-in closet and took off his clothes.

Lacy was on the bed waiting. When Derrick returned he had taken his belt out of his pants.

"This is not for punishment, but for my pleasure." He said as he swung the bet.

Lacy sucked in her breath and moaned, "Sir, oh, sir"

"My mother hurt you, she hurt me and I whipped her. I love you Lacy and I want you to know that life for us will get better and better." He stopped hitting her after the third strike and grabbed Lacy's hips.

Derrick thrust his dick inside her pussy and fucked her hard. "I love you baby. I love fucking you. I love owning your beautiful body and I plan to fuck you every day." He said as he moved in and out of her.

Lacy was moaning, she wanted to cum, but she wanted to hear Derrick order her to cum. Derrick fucked her for a long time. He felt ready to burst but it was not her pussy where he wanted to cum. Pulling out Derrick opened Lacy's ass cheeks. He bent down and licked her hole. Grabbing her hips he shoved his cock all the way in and exploded.

Lacy could feel his juices in her ass and she begged him, "Please Sir, please may I cum."

"Not yet baby." He said as he held her and then withdrew. He ran a bath as Lacy was still on her knees, his semen running out of her ass and down the back of her legs.

Derrick picked her up and took her to the bathroom, where he left her to take care of business. He then got in the tub. Lacy got in front of him and he held her. "Baby, tonight's been really hard. I just want you to know that you come first and my mother will never, ever speak to you the way she spoke with you or treat you the way she did."

"Sir, I know you love me. I know that your mother is a bit obsessed with you." Lacy turned around and kissed his cheek, "Thank you for protecting me and I think in time she'll come around."

"I hope so. I love her and she is my mother." Derrick said as he picked up the sponge and washed Lacy's back.

Lacy moaned, "I know Sir and I love her because she is your mother. I just want her to give me a chance and realize that we are together."

"Yes, we are." Derrick said and kissed her. He finished washing Lacy and she turned to wash him as he pinched her nipples. He pulled her to him the water sloshing around their bodies and sat her down on his hard cock. Lacy fucked him in the tub. She moved her hips and her body up and down as Derrick gripped the sides of the tub. Lacy moved and watched Derrick who moved his body meeting her thrust for thrust. "Baby cum." Derrick ordered and Lacy who had been holding it in came hard on her Master's cock.

Derrick lifted her up and got out of the tub holding his wet dick. He grabbed her head and Lacy got up on her knees in the water as Derrick fucked her mouth holding her head tight on his cock until he too came. She was exhausted and sat back in the water with a splash.

Lacy swallowed Derrick's semen licking her lips and he bent down and kissed her hard sharing his taste. "Mm, I taste tangy."

"Probably the spaghetti sauce the cook made." Lacy said.

"Let's get into bed and get some sleep. I have a busy day tomorrow and so do you." Derrick said helping her out of the tub. He dried her and then himself. Lacy put on a lovely eggplant colored gown and climbed into bed.

Derrick held her in his arms as Lacy drifted off. He lay awake for a while thinking about his mother. His last thoughts before he fell into a deep sleep was, 'I love you mother, but I love Lacy more.' He kissed Lacy's head and smiled as he fell asleep.

Kenneth decided that the Board Meeting would be held the last day in January. It was a celebration to welcome Mason into the fold and have Lady Catherine take her rightful place.

Hayley was learning fast and she was nearly at the end of her lessons with him. She would spend some time with Blake and read the Ritual book, but then she would be prepared for any and everything. She would be Kenneth's vice-President. He liked working with her. Hayley was smart and fair. She and Jake were looking forward to starting a family.

Samantha announced just before the board meeting that she and Brandon were expecting. Matthew and Helen were ecstatic as was Quinn and Jonah. "Now I'll have someone to compare notes." Said Samantha to Quinn.

Denise was so very happy for her sister and sister-in-law. She had to wait until April before she and Daniel could start trying and Denise couldn't wait.

Ellen was getting antsy, just three months to go and her beautiful baby would be here and she could share it with the world. While watching French television she heard the news; " Aujourd'hui, nous avons une annonce que l'acteur Brandon Mitchell et sa charmante épouse, Samantha attendent leur premier enfant which translates to: Today we have an announcement that the actor Brandon Mitchell and his lovely wife, Samantha are expecting their first child."

Ellen let out a high pitched scream and fainted. The staff and Gary came running. When Ellen awoke she held her stomach. The doctor was called. Everything was fine.

Gary brought her the weekly Paris Match and on the cover were a smiling Brandon Mitchell with his wife. Ellen was livid, but she hid her feelings from Gary.

When he left the room she circled Samantha's face in red. "You will never have him. He belongs to me."
