Alice confides in her mother
“Mom?” You can tell right away that Alice is uncomfortable with the topic but she’s gotten her way and is now standing in front of her in the room, arms folded in front of her lap, her gaze turned to the floor. No one can resist my husband, Hellen thinks to herself, but suppresses her smile. James is so good, he even generated the timing of his choice at which his daughter is now standing here. She has already changed for the evening and there is no sign of the man in the house or her little sister.
After having dinner with Alice he has now also taken Gemma. The 18 year-old girl could hardly believe her luck, for her, her father is still the stoic family patriarch and everyone can see that she is a bit jealous of her older sister. The two are probably talking about her school and her future. Why a girl might need an education Hellen doesn’t know and her future has been decided for Gemma since birth, but James is the man with the plan and Hellen loves him for letting her help.
“Hey honey.” She puts aside the book she’s been pretending to read and beckons her daughter closer. The two women are close and their hips touch as Alice sits down next to her mother on the expensive sofa James bought the family.
“Mm…” Alice makes, unable to speak further. She struggles with herself but her mother has learned from the best teacher.
“I can see that something is bothering you. You can trust me, can’t you?”
“I guess so,” the girl mumbles, and Hellen gets a little angry. If you knew what you were missing in life you’d be on your knees begging me to haul your ass back to your dad. But James told her how to behave and Hellen complies. Besides, she has a trump card Alice can’t beat.
“What would your father say if he knew we girls couldn’t discuss everything? We’re kind of like sisters, aren’t we?”
“Yeah.” Of course. You don’t even know what your cunt wants from you and you think you can solve everything yourself. Stupid bitch. Luckily my husband is there to straighten you out.
“So what’s bothering you darling?” An intimate hug. Even though Hellen is angry, she only wants what’s best for her bitchy, stupid, prude daughter. She’s just a woman, emotional and impatient like her daughter. James when are you coming back?
“How…” Alice takes a breath. “You seem to know a lot, and I was wondering… How do you know when a… boy likes you?” Have you finally realized that you’re not automatically eligible for James? Good girl.
“Wow honey.” Another hug, more intimate, with more smiles. “Thanks for turning to me for that.” Then Hellen claps her hands excitedly. “Okay. A boy, then?” Alice shrugs. “Or a girl?”
“Mom!”
“Okay okay a boy then. Do I know him?”
“MOM!” Hellen laughs, raises her hands and puts her finger to her lips while pretending she needs to think first, but already knows her lines by heart.
“I can only speak of me, and your father of course, and the experiences I had before your father conquered me I don’t begrudge any girl, especially not my pretty and nice daughter.” Alice smiles sheepishly. Just admit that you want him to stuff your tight hole with his monster and make you scream. My daughter deserves only the best, even if she is a silly little thing.
“So how did dad get you…”
“Conquered honey. It’s a good way to put it. I was a real bitch back then, let me tell you. Naughty, wild, rebellious, stupid and I thought I knew everything. Just the opposite of you. So you have a good chance. We’re pretty girls Alice, it runs in the Winters family. So we get a lot of looks. I know it with me. How about you?” Alice opens her mouth first, but then blushes.
“You get looks thrown at you?” So that’s how it is? You think you’re unapproachable. And I know about Connor. You stupid thing told us yourself! James knows everything. But I can play your game too.
“Of course you can. What’s that supposed to mean?” But her laugh is good-natured. “James likes it when other men desire me.” Her daughter’s eyes widen. “But he always makes sure everyone knows who I belong to. It’s good to know I’m beautiful to my husband and he sees it in the other poor guys.” The mother puts a hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “And that’s what they are honey, poor feminine dumb guys. Your father took me into his care when I relied on guys like that. They promised me the world and I believed them. Your father didn’t need that. He shows his affection through…well, let’s call it severity.”
“S-Severity?” Just like with you!
“Yes. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it. When you find a man like that then you don’t have to worry anymore. Real men take what they want.”
“But at school they said…”
“Forget school honey,” interrupts her mother. “They don’t know everything there either. If you wait for a nice man to come to you, you’ll be old and ugly when the time comes. No, you need a man who can protect you. A monster.”
“A… m-monster?” Alice can hardly believe it, but listens to her mother as if spellbound, getting more and more caught up in the web Hellen has cast and James has crafted.
“Of course honey. Only a man who knows what he is capable of can achieve what others can only dream of. And you are definitely worth dreaming about.” She winks at her daughter who swallows hard, lowers her eyes and considers.
“And…” Come on, you little brat! Do it! “And how do you get a man like that?” Alice looks at her triumphant mother who just manages to hide her joy enough. She wouldn’t be able to sit for months if she screwed up now. Don’t kid yourself. He would leave you, blame it on me and would take Alice this way. And then take Gemma away as well. I have to make this work. I can’t let him down. I need him! Hellen has more fear of losing her James than her own daughters.__
“The question is how do men like James take girls like you?”
“Mom…” But this time it’s a timid, futile protest.
