Our New Life When It All Ended... Pt. 04

Life on our little quiet corner of the country was pretty amazing. I had Lisa to make love to as often as she wanted me and when Dad was tired or Mom just wanted a little more, she would take me too. I laughed sometimes, sure I missed the everyday boring stuff we took for granted before the war but as things went, it could always be worse.

It wasn't always perfect.

"Is your knee still bothering you?" I asked.

"It'll be fine but I wanted to rest another day or two just to be sure. Remember what I taught you, no patterns, use the terrain and don't try and be a hero if you get into something," replied Dad.

"I've been well trained by you, Dad. I'll be okay."

I was going out on our monthly patrol. Usually Dad and I went together, it was time we'd chat, he'd tell me about his Military days and we'd just enjoy each other's company. He'd slipped on some water in the kitchen and hurt his knee, it wasn't serious but Mom insisted he take it easy. I was maybe a couple of hours into my patrol, sensors were all fine but I couldn't help feeling I was being shadowed. I used my Dad's methods and doubled back a few times, watching for movement and for any signs of a tail but I didn't see anything at first. A little while later I did spot something. I pressed my button, a small transmitter that just sent my location to Dad then got myself ready for a fight.

"Don't move. Take your hand off the rifle and slowly lay it on the ground," said the man.

I looked and saw the barrel of his rifle pointed at my head, decided it was best to do as he said.

"He's alone, no sign of anyone else," said another man.

"Where's your compound? I was told it's close but there's nothing on the map and my scanner isn't picking up any radio or electronic chatter," the first man said to me as the other took my weapons.

"What do you want? I can help you find supplies, direct you to some gangs who have more stuff," I replied.

"I want your compound," he said.

"Well, I live alone in a broken-down truck and trailer," I replied.

The man punched me in the stomach, winding me.

"I don't like being lied to. I know there's at least one woman and some farmland but our EM scans show nothing for a hundred miles," said the first man.

"My batteries died months ago and my solar circuit is messed up. I wish I had a woman around," I replied.

The man glared at me, I turned my head in time to see the butt of a rifle coming towards my head before things went dark.

I wasn't sure how long I was out. My head was pounding and the room was just spinning when I tried to sit up.

"Easy, kiddo, take it easy," said my Dad.

"Dad?"

"I got you, drink this and try to sit up again, slowly."

I drank the water he gave me then tried to sit up again. The room was still spinning but I could see a little better.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Old church building a few miles from home. I may have gotten lost though," he said.

Something wasn't right.

"Hey, did my wife drive you here?" I asked.

"Yea, she dropped me somewhere close so I could sneak in. I may be able to sneak us back out without alerting any of them," he replied.

The room spinning wasn't from the blow on the head. I'd been drugged. I knew I had to be careful.

"I have to take a piss, I can't hold it," I said.

"You don't have a wife, do you?" said the man.

"Fucking told you, you didn't give him enough," said another.

The man looked down at that moment. He had a series of lights on a strip attached to his sleeve. 3 of them went from green to red at the same time.

"Perimeter team, code up," said the man into his radio.

"John!" said the second man, all the lights but 2 went red.

The second guy dropped, I didn't hear any gunshots, just a small 'tink' as the painted-out window shattered.

"Don't, fucking, move," said Dad, his rifle pointing at the man's head.

"Go ahead, this last light goes red, the whole building goes up," said the man.

"Not without this it won't."

Dad threw the man a small box with wires coming out of it. The man knew what it was.

"Using pre-war tech against someone who wrote the book on how to defeat it, not real smart. Who are you, who are you working for?" asked Dad.

"I don't know. I was sent to find your compound and kill you. I worked through a middle man, said they'd give us a place in a new city if I pulled it off. They said you were good, I figured your legend was beefed up. My mistake," he replied.

"Give me a name."

"Henderson, it's all I know, man."

Dad shot the man in the stomach, he groaned then dropped to the ground.

"Henderson's dead, lie to me again and it's your knee," said Dad, pressing the barrel at the man's knee.

"Okay, okay. Ramirez sent me. He said he'd heard you were still alive. He's hellbent on getting his revenge, man, it's all I know, I swear!"

Dad took out his suppressed pistol and shot the man in the head.

"Did they drug you, can you walk?" he said to me.

"I don't know what they gave me, I thought he was you," I replied.

"They didn't find your beacon. Take this, it'll likely make you puke but should clear your head. I'm going to search these two. Soon as you can walk, go to the front door and wait."

The pill Dad gave me made me throw up as soon as it hit my stomach. He was right though, I could see clearer and I could walk. Dad had me leave and a minute or less later, he joined me at the door. He pulled a radio from his belt.

"All clear, leaving through exfil one," he said.

"10-4, no sign of any others. Are they set?" replied the voice.

"Roger. He's hurt so give me 2 minutes to clear then do it."

Dad helped me to the tree line then he stopped.

"Cover your ears, building is about to go bang," he said to me.

The explosion was pretty awesome and lit up the night sky.

"How long was I gone?" I asked when we started moving again.

"Couple days, had to call in a favor to help get you out. Are you okay?" he said to me.

"I will be. I don't know how long they drugged me, what if I told them something?"

"Doesn't matter, they're all dead and we didn't see any transmissions going out," said a man, I didn't even see him join us.

"Marcus, this is Denver, good friend of mine from another life," Dad said to me.

"Good to meet you, thank you for helping me," I replied, shaking his hand.

"Your Dad saved me more times than I can count. Is one less I owe him," he said with a laugh.

"You know I didn't keep score. Same team, all that mattered," replied Dad.

"Whatever, I'll still owe you one when we bust out of hell together, man," laughed Denver.

"And when your Dad says 'good friend', that means brother to other mortals. Still clear, no drones or anything. They clearly got sloppy if it was really Ramirez that sent them," said another man who seemed to appear from nowhere.

"This is another good friend, Jackson," said Dad, I shook the man's hand.

"I don't think they had good intel or he wouldn't have used mercs. The two I took out at the east gate were too young to be his," said Denver.

"Vehicle's up ahead, we'll head back ourselves and start looking. 3 days be enough?" said Jackson.

"Yea. I'll need to talk to her, I know she won't like it," said Dad.

The 2 other men vanished into the shadows again as Dad helped me into the truck.

"You were a ghost?" I asked my Dad.

"Yea, there's not many of us left though, was a long time ago," he replied.

"I'm guessing there's more to this than marauders looking for supplies?"

"You would guess right. Someone from my past looking to exact revenge for something he thought we did. Our team already killed the men who tried to frame us but he doesn't care, still blames us."

"Someone powerful?"

"Not so much anymore but he may still have teeth and is dangerous enough for me to go after him this time. He hurt you to get to me and that just doesn't do."

The 'Ghosts' as they were called, were an elite special forces group that officially didn't exist. They made video games out of the rumors but they got their name from their preference of optical camouflage that made them almost invisible to the human eye. They'd be sent in on high-risk missions, usually rescue jobs that conventional forces would have lost too many men in. Dad was mostly vague about his time in the military, he told me enough to know that he was pretty bad-ass but I didn't pry. War was horrible and I know he wanted to leave it in the past. I crashed out at some point, when I woke, Lisa was fussing over me and Mom and Dad were in a heated conversation.

"Jen, I don't have a choice. If they got close enough grab him, they may get lucky and bring more than I can handle. I have 2 others and I'm going to talk to the Rangers, see if we can get more but I have to end this, for our peace," Dad said.

"And what if you don't come back, Steve? You've trained him well, even Lisa is capable but we need you, our home doesn't work without you," replied Mom.

"I'm coming back, Jen. I want to live a life of peace with you and the kids and I can't do that with the shadow I thought I'd left behind."

Mom was crying but before she could say anything more, one of our perimeter alarms went off. I went to grab a rifle but Dad stood us all down after he checked his scope.

"It's a Ranger. I'll bring him in," said Dad.

Dad went out and led the man through our sensors.

"Sorry for the alarm, Mr. Black, I knew where to come in but I was instructed to set off one sensor then wait. We had a nice talk with a friend of yours on the radio and we did a share of intel. Long story short, in the time it's taken you to get home on the back routes, we cleared up your little problem. Governor has a pretty hard line against folks that would kidnap just to get to a man, said he dealt with that stuff long enough with the Cartels. We've been watching them since he set up camp near El Paso, once we heard what happened here, we went in hard and took them down. We have your guy in custody, once you verify it's him, we'll put him down," said the Ranger, he handed Dad a tablet that had a live feed on it.

"That's him. Edgar Ramirez. He had Cartel connections before the war, blames me for his daughter's death but we found who really did it and took care of them. He won't let go of his hate for me."

"If you'll excuse my French, ladies, but he's pretty batshit to put it lightly. He had maybe 20 men and a big pile of pre-war cash. He won't be a problem anymore."

"Thank you, Officer, my family appreciate your efforts."

"Oh, I have a gift too. Friend of yours told me about your thing with the radios? I designed these and they're working great, they don't use that EM spectrum at all. Solar pack in case you needed it but if you need us, you can call us on this."

Dad looked it over and smiled.

"Thank you again. Lisa, bring a pale of water for the Ranger's horse, do you need to fill your canteen?" said Dad.

"I'm fine but George would appreciate the drink."

Dad led the Ranger back out and we put our gear away. Dad gave Mom a big hug and pulled Lisa and I for one too.

"I think, we should all get a good sleep then spend an afternoon naked. Marcus may need a session with his Mom but I can take care of you, Lisa," said Dad.

"Are you forgetting she's fertile?" said Mom.

"No. I've been asking Marcus for anal but he's trying to knock me up so won't give me it. I like this idea. We're all so stressed and need a release," said Lisa.

"Well, my Son was just in a very stressful situation, I want to make sure he's okay before we get into naked parties again," said Mom.

"I think I'm okay but I am not going to turn down a special session with Mom. Can I shower first?" I asked.

"I'll help you my love, we can use mine," replied Mom.

Mom did an amazing job of making me feel relaxed and smiling again. She'd always end our session by riding me slowly and watching her face as she climaxed on my cock always set me off too. She kissed me then led me by the hand to the shower to clean up. I'd lost track of time with Mom, when we wandered back to the lounge, still naked, Dad and Lisa were still going. Lisa was face down on the couch, moaning and swearing as Dad slammed into her ass.

"I.... I set down towels but she's had me going for ages, th.. this is the third time," gasped Dad.

"Well, I'll take this young man to the porch and we will have fun ourselves," replied Mom.

Mom sucked me long enough to get me hard then straddled me, taking me inside her. Lisa and I just hugged when we got to bed that night, we were both worn out. I wasn't asleep for long, I woke up soaked in sweat and Lisa was gently shaking me.

"Sorry, you were groaning like you were in pain. Nightmares again?" she said, gently wiping my head with a shirt.

"Yea, I'm sorry," I replied.

She held me close to her and I eventually fell asleep again. When I woke up the second time, I got up and sat in the kitchen, remembering Dad's sensors on the doors.

"Now that's a face that's been awake more than he's been asleep," said Mom. She hugged me tightly.

"I didn't want to wake Lisa again," I replied.

"You're not quite okay, are you?"

"Just nightmares again, I'll live."

"You're with me until I say so, okay?"

"I have my chores, I don't want to be a burden."

"It will keep Lisa's mind off your cock, doing a little more work. Go and wait for me, I'll start the coffee."

I knew not to argue, I got up and went to Mom's room and sat on the couch. Dad came in to see me a few minutes later while Mom waited at the door.

"You're in here until the boss says so, okay? Lisa and I will take care of what needs to be done until you're ready. I'm sorry my past hurt you, Son. No more solo patrols, we stay together in future," he said to me.

"Okay," I replied.

Mom closed the door behind him after he left then she started lighting candles. She turned the lights off and dropped her robe onto the chair and had me stand up and strip too. She just held me for a while, not saying anything, just our naked bodies close to each other. Despite being tired, the feeling of her breasts pressing into me started getting me hard. Mom kissed me then had me sit on the couch. She straddled me then took my cock all the way inside her then just stayed there.

I lost count of how many times we made love. She'd talk to me, massage me, make love to me then we would just nap in each other arms. Dad would bring us food, we'd shower together and after 3 days, the nightmares went away. After the last night of great sleep, Mom led me back to the lounge. It was Saturday, usually an easy day of sex with whoever wanted it and we typically walked around naked. Lisa had her ass in the air as she sucked Dad's cock but she didn't see us coming out.

"I think you should go and fill your sister with cum, my love," whispered Mom.

I got hard pretty quickly, Dad helped me surprise her by talking and holding her head on his cock. I could see she was already wet, I pushed my cock deep inside her with one thrust and held her hips as I started to thrust. Dad finally let her go and she gasped in pleasure as I fucked her.

"Don't worry, I'll finish him off, honey," said Mom as she led Dad to the porch.

"I.... I've missed you, my love," gasped Lisa.

"I've missed you too," I replied.

I lasted long enough to make her cum a couple of times and when I finally climaxed, she gasped as it set her off again. I sat on the couch when I was spent and Lisa straddled me, kissing me as my cum slowly dribbled from her pussy.

"Feels so good when you cum in me. I've had enough anal the past few days to last me a while. How are you feeling?" she asked, kissing me and touching my face.

"Better. I'm sorry I was in there for so long," I replied.

"Baby, you were fucking kidnapped, drugged and beaten. That's not something to just brush off with a beer and a back rub. Dad told me he still gets flashbacks of his time during the war and the Military before that, he said we're not meant for that kind of horror and he took us away to try and shield us from it. So, don't you dare apologize for healing and getting help. I love you, Marcus, we're in this together and I will hold you close to me through the good and the bad, okay?"

"Okay. Can we please get up though, you're leaking all over me," I said with a laugh.

"Hey, is your mess, I should sit on your face to clean it."

I tickled her until she got off me and she chased me to the shower as we laughed together. We kissed as we held each other under the water. When we eventually left our room, Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch, cuddled together. They smiled as we sat in the chair together.

"So, your Mom and I have been talking and we wanted to get your input," said Dad.

"It's not something we want you to answer right away, we want you to think about it and talk more," said Mom.

"I've been offered a job. I've been talking to the Governor and a few other people with this new radio. We're going on a tour of one of the new cities. They've had help from the Canadians, their infrastructure wasn't hit as hard and they've been helping to rebuild down here. They don't want to take over, they said once we're up and running, they'll step back. They said they need good security advisors, pretty much what my company did before we left. If we want to, they'll pick us up and let us stay for a couple of days and if we like it, we can move," said Dad.

"Leave here? We have a good life here, we don't have to rely on anyone," said Lisa.

"We're also far from help. As much as I love this freedom, I miss the support. Your Dad gets hurt and our security is halved. I'm not discounting you in any way, Marcus but we are a team and if one of us gets hurt or sick, we feel the strain more than we would in a city. Look at the things we've been through. The Chavez woman, Marcus being kidnapped and being forced to take lives, it's taking its toll. I know we have this, freedom to make love as a family but at what price? I'm afraid one of us is going to break, beyond what I can bring you back from," said Mom, wiping a tear from her face.

"Would we still be able to have what we share now? I'm not sure I would want to give up Lisa for any reason," I said.

"Our private lives would still be our own business. We'd have to work harder at keeping it private but the rewards would be worth it. Look, we're not under any obligation, let's take their tour, stay for a day or two and decide from there. I promise, it's a decision we all agree on or it doesn't happen," said Dad.

"I'm game," I replied.

"I'm with Marcus," said Lisa.

"Okay, I'll set it up," said Dad.

It took a few days but we prepped the ranch for us being gone for 3 days and waited for the helicopter to arrive.

"Feels so different wearing clothes, I think this will be the longest we've worn them in forever," laughed Lisa.

"Well, I'm hoping the place they have in mind for us has nice big privacy fences so we don't have to all the time. I do love my breasts being free," said Mom.

"Oh, we all do too, honey," said Dad. We all laughed.

The helicopter arrived and we were helped on board by the crew. It wasn't a very long flight but we arrived and were greeted by a woman in a business suit. She was really pretty.

"Welcome, all of you, to New Dalton. I am Helen Conway, Deputy Governor and I'll be showing you around, answering questions and hopefully making you feel at home. I hope the ride was nice and smooth," she said.

"It was, thank you," said Mom.

"Well, let me take you to your rooms and let you put your things away then I'll take you all to dinner to meet the Governor and a few other people. Mr. Black, it's wonderful to meet you in person, I've been told a lot about you," said Helen as she shook Dad's hand.

"All good, I hope," he replied.

"Of course."

We spent a good few hours meeting a lot of people, Lisa and I were bored out of our minds. Things soon got interesting though. We met with a few other families who lived there, then the Governor, Jim Green, took us to his home. When the Deputy Governor and the other advisors left, we were standing chatting when a woman came with drinks for us all, she gave Jim a drink too then gave him a pretty sensual kiss on the lips.

"Mr. Black and family, I'd like you to meet my sister, Meridith," he said with a smile.

"It's uh, nice to meet you," replied Dad.

"You, uh, have you confirmed, Jim? They look spooked," said Meridith.

"I haven't but I trust them. Have you seen the way they look at each other?" replied Jim, looking at Lisa and I.

"I'm going to be blunt because this is killing me. We were informed that it's likely you are all intimate with each other, please tell me that information is correct?" asked Meridith.

"It depends on how that information is used," replied Dad, being a little defensive.

"Well, hopefully the same way you'll react to me telling you that Jim and I spend at least 3 hours a day making love. He's incredible and he's my younger brother."

"Then your sources were correct."

Meridith grinned.

"That makes me so happy. The families you met today are all the same. After the war and living in the hell that came after, we found a lot of families live like we do, choosing to be together in everything. We are very open here in New Dalton, our charter has very basic rules in regards to sleeping with family and it's just to do with children. We feel if the love is there, why not share it physically. We have requests and certain guidelines when it comes to offspring being conceived but so far, we've not had any pregnancies. We just feel that with so many lives lost in the war, love comes first," she said.

"Sorry, my sister is very passionate about our lives here. We of course protect our cities with big men with even bigger guns and we would love if you could help us improve on that, Mr. Black. The Army has been working hard to clean up the state, Canada is working as a strictly advisory role and we all agree that we don't need a central government. We can get into that later but I know you and your family would bring great value to our city," said Jim.

"We are looking forward to seeing more. I know these two can relax now, they have both been terrified about having to hide their love," said Mom.

"Well, here, you don't have to."

The rest of the tour went by quickly, the city was very small, more like a large town but it was mostly made up of families. Dad spoke a lot with the leaders, he really liked what they told him and they shared his vision on how to live in peace. At the end of the first day, Meridith took Lisa off to the side. They spoke for a while, both of them smiling a lot then they hugged.

"What was that about?" I asked Lisa when she came back.

"I'll tell you in bed," she replied, smiling.

We were all tired but they took us to the guest house and said we'd be picked up in the morning again. Lisa and I gave our parents a hug then went to our bed.

"So, what did you think of Meridith?" said Lisa as I was fondling her breasts.

"You're asking me about another woman while I'm feeling you up?" I said with a smile.

"Well, you can't answer when you're eating me, can you."

"She's very pretty. Why do you ask?"

"She asked me if I'd let you knock her up. She loves her brother and she wants a baby but they wanted to stick to their own rules."

"What does he think about that?"

"He'd already agreed. They also have a doctor here that is going to see why I'm still not pregnant. The amount of cum you've filled me with since I had my IUD out, I should be but we'll see. How would you feel about me getting pregnant with Jim?"

"As long as I can watch."

"So, are we voting yes together then?"

"I think I need to, Lisa. Dad has trained me really well but I can't get the things I've been forced to do out of my head. I want to keep you safe but I don't want to lose who I am in the process. Mom is amazing at bringing me back from the darkness but how many times will it take before I'm stuck there?"

"I am with you, Marcus. I think we'll like it here. Plus, I'm getting wet thinking about you with Meridith."

"Sure it's not my fingers rubbing your nipples doing that?"

"Well, that too but I think you should eat me now, my love."

The next morning, we joined mom and dad for breakfast and once we were done, we all had a talk.

"So, Marcus and I are voting yes on staying here. We love the compound and the freedom we had there but having support of a community will make us all safer. Do we know who it was that told them we're all together though?" said Lisa.

"It was my Ranger friend. He and his sister have been together and he could tell. He spoke to me about it and it's fine. He said he wouldn't have said anything that would have hurt us. I trust him," said Dad.

"Well, your father and I were already sure but we wanted to make sure our decision didn't influence yours. If you're sure, we'll start the process. We're going to offer up the compound as a Ranger outpost," said Mom.

We met with Jim and Meridith later that morning. Dad spoke to Jim and told him our decision and Meridith smiled as she came over to talk to Lisa.

"Yes, to both," said Lisa before Meridith could say anything.

"That makes me so happy," said Meridith, hugging Lisa.

Meridith then hugged me too and whispered in my ear.

"I can't wait for you to give me a baby," she said, grinning.

We didn't see much of our parents for the rest of the day. The brought in the Ranger commander who accepted Dad's offer of the compound. Lisa and I met with a few more families, they told us that life there was pretty awesome and we looked forward to making new friends.

Landing back at home was strange. It was our home for a while but it felt smaller. Soon, we'd be moving on and starting fresh all over again in a new town and we couldn't wait.
