So many times had she done this before, so many times had she spoken the words, done the chore. She was sick of this life, sick of the things her father made her do. She had been slowly breaking away and hiding from him when he was looking for his princess. She had taken refuge in the arms of someone new, someone who she knew would be killed if her father ever found out.
Sarah was twenty, her father had been forcing her into his bed since she had turned eighteen. She "owed" him for all the things she needed, her room and board, food, clothing, a ride to town. She knew she couldn't hide from him forever, however she also knew she didn't want to be his sex slave any longer. She'd found love, she'd found Gabriel.
Just thinking of Gabe made her smile. She'd known him her entire life, she trusted him and wanted to be with him. Her father would be angry, he would never let her go. How she longed for her brother. Yes, Gabriel was her older brother. He'd always looked out for her, now he'd begun helping her hide from their father.
She'd tried to move away, but her father had cost her the job she longed for, her scholarship and her future. She wouldn't let him take Gabe away too.
As she thought back to the first night she'd made love to Gabe, she remembered how safe she'd felt.
It was a few days before, it had been her birthday. She'd gone out with her friends from town, Rebecca and Susan. They'd had too much to drink, danced for hours and came home falling down drunk. Her father had been waiting, he sat in the dark for hours. This only announced his anger, he'd slammed her against the wall, hiked up her dress and fucked her right in the living room.
He'd never been so bold before. Usually he snuck into her room late at night and climbed into her bed, or his favorite was when she'd be in the bathroom and he'd hide in the closet and pop out when she was about to step into the shower. He took her cries as passion and got off on it.
Her father was good at hiding his treacherous acts from Gabe. Ever since their mother had died, Gabe had been out working to keep their home. He'd kept them from bankruptcy and he was often gone for days at a time. Her father used that to his advantage. Raping her over and over while Gabe was away.
This particular night, however, wasn't his lucky night. When her father was finished using her that night, he'd tossed her to the floor. He'd finished himself off by spraying his cum all over her dress. Then he's went to his room, slammed the door and she hoped went to bed.
She lay there for a time crying. She was hurt, although not badly. She was ashamed and blamed herself. If she hadn't gone with her friends, he wouldn't have been so rough. He wouldn't have been angry and he wouldn't have hurt her. He'd have slipped into her bed, got off inside her and slipped back out.
When the front door opened, she tried to cover herself. She wasn't expecting Gabe and neither was her father. Otherwise, she would have been raped in her room, not the common area.
Gabe knelt beside her, "What happened to you Sarah?"
She just cried softly, resting her head on his knee. He brushed her hair from her face, caressing her cheeks before tucking the loose strands behind her ear. He craddled her face in his hand, begging her to tell him who'd hurt her.
She couldn't though, so she pulled away and got to her feet. She turned for the steps, but lost her balance and fell against Gabe's strong, muscular chest. He steadied her and whispered, "Let me help you sweetie."
She let Gabe's strong frame support her as she made her way upstairs. Thankfully her father had been so drunk he must have passed out and he hadn't heard them make their way to the second floor.
When they reached the bathroom, he helped her inside. He locked the door behind them and helped her slip out of her dress. Her thighs had begun to bruise from the roughness, her cheeks were tear stained and she had bruises in the shape of handprints on her arms.
Gabe's shock at seeing her this way, the anger in his eyes. "Sarah, who the hell did this to you? I'll go wake father and we'll go kill the bastard!"
She just sobbed, turning her back to him.
He crossed the small room in two steps, pulling her back against him. "Just tell me Sarah, we'll get him for hurting you."
She shook, her body wracked with sobs. She felt she'd never stop. He turned her toward him, his hand ran down her cheek, cupping her chin.
As she looked into his deep blue eyes, she knew she couldn't hide it from him any longer. "It wasn't just anyone, it WAS father!"
She began to cry, collapsing against him.
"That bastard! I'll kill him myself!! How dare he put his hands on you!!"
Gabe's voice got louder, he was almost shouting. She was afraid, so afraid that if their father knew she'd told her brother, he'd kill them both.
She slipped a finger over his lips, "Please, don't! He'll just kill us both."
His features were hardened, his eyes glowing with anger. "You sleep with me tonight, we'll go out to the camper where we used to play. Until I can figure out how to protect you."
He helped her into the shower, turning his back to her as she undressed. She had watched him, determined to save her from their vile father. She quickly cleansed herself from all his disgusting stench.
When she finished, she'd wrapped herself in a towel and he'd led her to her bedroom. He guarded the door as she'd put on a bra and panties, pulled on sweatpants and a sweatshirt, tugged on her socks and boots.
After packing a bag with all the clothes her father wouldn't let her wear, she'd grabbed a few of her personal items and the money she'd hidden from her father.
They quietly stepped out into the hallway. She slipped her hand in Gabe's and his fingers intertwined with hers. He pulled her close to him, breathing into her hair, "I won't let him hurt you again, I promise."
They slowly made their way down the stairs, across the room and out the door before their father awoke. They ran across the field, toward the old path that led to the camping area her father had forbid them to go to when their mother died.
Making their way through the woods, it was dark and she was afraid. Gabe had wrapped his arm around her shoulder and held her close.
