Part Five - Screams Of Passion  (by: Darrin ©06/2005)

When Terry came back out, he found D and Dino packing up the tent.

"Dino, how soon do we leave?"

"Whenever you wanna go, Terry. Chopper's waiting."

"I need to take care of a coupla things and then we can --"

"Not we, T," D said quietly.

Terry and Dino turned to Darrin with a "What?!" simultaneously.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here. Always."

"Luv, we need to get checked out at a hospital. We both need to get back to DC and sort out everything that's gone on while we've been missing. You have to be worried about your clients..."

"No. I'm not going back to anything. I'm staying right here."

Terry walked over to her and stroked her cheek. "D," he whispered and then saw the look in her eyes. That same look he'd seen back at the plane. But coupled with begging him to understand. He wrestled with it for awhile, as they both stared into each other's eyes. It was like having a whole conversation in the space of a minute. And it didn't help that he had this overwhelming feeling that he had something far more important to do than go back to DC and pick back up where he'd left off.

So it was that he simply pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Okay, D. Okay. You can stay here." The tension he could feel leave her body told him he'd done the right thing. Whether anyone else believed it was wrong wasn't a consideration. He couldn't remember the last time he'd left so many decisions to his instincts, but it felt damn good.

"That's it?" Dino asked, "you're gonna let her stay here? By herself?!"

Still staring at D, caressing her cheek again, Terry said, "Yes. But she won't really be alone. Not that I really fancy her meetin' this... overgrown Gameboy, but it won't be for long. Just until I get back from Italy."

"Italy?? Terry, what the fuck are you talking about?"

Terry was just as surprised. Then realized why he had said it. "Yeah, Italy. I need to go to Rome and bring someone back here."

"I'm never gonna understand what's happening here, am I?"

Terry laughed, "Maybe one day, mate."

"All right, whatever. Just tell me what the plan is so I can get back to DC and cover for your ass like I've been doing while you had your little 'walkabout'." Dino was laughing too. He loved Terry like a brother and had enough time put in with him to accept when his partner went off the deep end. At least this time it wasn't about a broad.

"Okay, first off, a bloody shower or nine. Then some brekkie. Then D's gonna meet someone and then you're gonna take me to the nearest airport."

"All right, pal."

"I reckon one of these houses should do for a wash up... Hey, this one looks good." They had started walking up the road that ran through the middle of the little Village, as Terry had begun thinking of it, and he stopped in front of an A-frame house a little ways down from the end of the road. They went inside and Terry and Dino both stopped dead. Darrin walked calmly over to the hallway that lead to the guest bathroom and disappeared inside.

"Mate, are you seein' what I'm seein'?"

"What the fuck is this?"

"It's my bloody living room, is what it is."

"So it was her," Dino said quietly.

"I don't think we can deny that anymore." Terry walked up the stairs as Dino went to the kitchen to see what was there.

When Dino heard Terry's laugh and call to him, he joined him at the top of the stairs looking in on his loft-style bedroom.

"Oh, now that's just too funny. Well, we know what she's been thinking about when it comes to you!" Dino laughed out.

The entire room's focus was on a very large king-sized bed. Everything else in the room was barely noticeable.

"Well, I have confirmation now that you weren't fucking her. This is NOT your bedroom, pal o' mine."

"Definitely not. But I'm thinkin' I like it."

Dino laughed and told him to get in the fucking shower before he started wilting the plants, then headed downstairs, with a "Cocky bastard!" thrown over his shoulder. Terry's answering shout of, "Better believe it, mate!" told Dino that Terry was still Terry. It was just his surroundings that had gone whacko.

In the guest bathroom, Darrin suddenly realized she was alone for the first time since Terry had found her in her half of the plane. She began shaking, scared once again.

Don't be scared...Come play with me.

She went over to the window and looked out to see the house she knew belonged to him. "Okay," she whispered. She got into the shower and let the water run over her body. She was feeling better and better every minute, knowing that at last she would be able to say goodbye to all of it and never have to be that scared again.

After breakfast, Terry packed a bag, surprised with how many clothes he found of his in his closet. He wasn't sure what was going on, but that it was D was not deniable. Everything he found were all things she knew about him. Or apparently thought about, as far as the bed was concerned. That still made him chuckle. And distantly wonder if he would ever get a chance to try it out.

He and Dino went over to the chopper, finding the pilot checking everything on his machine, as every pilot Terry had ever met always did. They confirmed their plan with him and Terry stowed his bag, leaving Dino there and taking D over to the Gameboy's house. He refused to call him Sid. He was a fucking toy as far as Terry was concerned.

Before they walked into the house together, Terry stopped her and tipped her chin up to him. "I don't like this, D, but I'm goin' along with it because frankly I can't think of any other way. I have to go and no way Dino's gonna stay here. He's been holding the fort down and he's gonna hafta hold it down for even longer while I take this trip. But you've got the cell phone and if anything goes wrong, you call me. I'll fix it no matter what."

"It'll be 'kay, T. I promise. I'll be fine." Terry didn't feel convinced, but opened the door and took her inside. His only comfort that he was a computer program and couldn't touch her for real.

Inside the room, Sid was waiting for them on the six hi-def screens. "Hello, Brother," he said, laughing. Then he looked at Darrin. "Hello, Darrin," he said, his voice taking on such a sensual tone that Darrin felt herself shiver. Sid laughed again.

"So, you believe me now, don't you, Brother?"

"Yeah," Terry said curtly.

"And you're ready for your first trip?"

"First?"

"First of twenty-two trips."

"Twenty-two?!" Terry hated that this thing seemed to know so much about something that was a complete mystery to him. Still, though, he knew what Sid was telling him was the truth. He just didn't understand it. But he wasn't about to share that with the Gameboy.

"Yes, twenty-two." Sid rolled his eyes. "Stupid humans," he whispered to himself. "You can fuck off now, I'll take care of her," he said, giving D a sweet smile.

D giggled. Terry turned to her. "What's so funny, D?" he asked.

"He looks like a Cherub."

"I can be your Cherub, Darrin," Sid answered with a giggle.

"Jesus Christ," Terry muttered, wondering if he could squash this feeling he had to go, knowing it would be impossible. He pulled D out into the hallway, away from where Sid could see and kissed her gently on the mouth. "Remember, anything goes weird, you call me. I'll fix it, okay?"

"Yes, T," she whispered. He stroked a lock of her hair away from her face with a smile and then turned to leave. Darrin watched him go, waving as he left the house, then went back into the room.

Sid had vanished from the screens.

Darrin looked about wildly, scared she was alone, certain of it when she heard the chopper taking off.

"Where are you?!" she cried out, uncaring how terrified her voice sounded.

"I'm right here, baby," he said, directly into her ear. She whirled around and there he was, as real as anyone.

"How--How did you---?"

"Who cares? Now I can fuck you. You want that, don't you?" His giggle as he pulled her into his arms was maniacal, but Darrin didn't care. His arms were some place she had wanted to be for a long time now.

He took her into another room, one with a large bed and gently laid her down on it. As he pulled her clothes from her and himself, he began humming. As he pushed open her legs with his, he giggled. When she whispered, "Cherub," and closed her eyes, he drove into her hard, just as she knew he would.

Her screams rang through the Village for hours. But these were screams of passion.

~*~

After several hours of fucking her, Sid let his lover sleep a little. He changed the room into a more cozy setting, with a big screen television, ready for her when she woke up. They had a lot to watch, he thought with a giggle. He hopped back onto the bed, waking her up.

"Awake, lover?" he asked, giggling.

"Yes," she said sleepily.

"All fixed in your head now? Bad dad memories all gone?" Darrin's eyes went wide. "Aw, come on, baby. You know that's why you're staying here. So Sid can fix you. So you never have to think about it again. And so you can fuck without feeling guilty. But most importantly, so you can fuck ME. It's all about me, lover."

Darrin giggled softly. "You're right, Cherub."

"Okay, we've gotta lot of work to do now, baby. Time to see what you've gotten yourself into."

Darrin didn't understand what he was talking about. Until the movies started.

Sid told her about the Creator as they watched. Film after film went by. He fed her and let her sleep on occasion, also fucking her as much as she'd ever been fucked before in her life. She decided she loved fucking. It wasn't something she would ever be worried about again. The only time she'd felt better about fucking was in Pepoztlan. And that had been love, so naturally that was better.

The third film he showed her, made her heart pound. And she knew who T would be bringing back with him. She could not stop grinning.

He showed her twenty-three films, knowing she'd lost count. Laughing to himself at what her reaction would be later.

For now, he would keep it all about HIM.
