The stench of rotting fish clung to my jacket as I shoved open the door of the house. The lock was broken-again-and the draft from the harbor slithered in like a thief.
"Grandma?" My voice cracked. No answer. Just the drip-drip-drip of the kitchen sink and the distant ticking of the clock
I dropped her grocery bag-two cans of soup, half-stale bread-and froze.
The bed was empty.
A slick, metallic smell hit her first. Then I saw it: blood smeared on the floorboards, leading to the closet. My pulse hammered as I yanked the door open.
Grandma slumped against the wall, clutching a rusted box. Her lips moved, soundless.
"Len... you were never... supposed to be here."I didn't know if she was talking about this exact moment or something else..
The last word dissolved into a wet cough. Then silence. What does that even mean...
My knees hit the floor. I pried the box from Ma's stiff fingers. Inside:
A yellowed photo of a woman who looked like
Me-same sharp cheekbones, same defiant glare-standing beside a man in a tailored suit. She was well dressed & beautiful they seem to be from a rich home _her mother??
"Grandma!!!.. what is this... Is this my mom??"
Grandma nodded weakly.
Her breath stuttered. The Boston's royalty. The company whose name she could remember as a kid at every time their limousines roared past the slums then. What became of them now she couldn't tell... she had since never heard of them neither could she tell what really happened.. Rumor had it that they suffered losses & the owners had to sell the company... What was this box all about??...
There was a knock at the door.
"No...Not now" Eleanor thought she was in her early 20's..23 to be precise..& she lived with her foster family.. she knew them ever since she was young. They had shortened her name to Len which to them was more easier to say .
Grandma was the mother of Len's foster mother.. she was the nicest & kindest, quite opposite of her daughter & even worse her son-in-law ... Len had always gone to her when she had a quarrel with her ma which happened frequently... Now she had taken ill she suffered heart problem & stroke. She heard her ma discussing with her husband that her sickness was a 'lost cause'... "She wouldn't live up to a week, the doctor had said. So we should rather not spend much money taking her to the hospital. Plus she is already very old" ma had said earlier before..
"Len"
She hid the box she had forgotten that someone had knocked earlier. "yes am coming"
"What took u so long" Lisa her foster sis had said while walking in .."Mom had sent for you & she is pissed" she added quickly..
"I just wanted to see if ma needed help, I would be back, won't take time".
Lisa looked at me & humped "suit yourself" with that she left... They had assigned a nurse to take care of grandma but today was her day off..
I quickly went in & helped grandma up & put her back on her old dusty bed...then I soothed her hair with gentle strokes...
"Grandma .."I said..." I Kno u Kno something about my real parents.. please tell me something.. anything...
She coughed weekly & her breathing was frail...
"Eleanor... This life wasn't meant for u.. u had a really rich family & ... She coughed repeatedly... I brought her water instantly...
"What was my family's name.."
"C...c" & all went silent grandma had stopped breathing & her face looked peaceful...
95 year old Rosa was dead. Len covered her face with a piece of clothe..
Tears streamed down lens face... She didn't get to Kno about her family & why she was abandoned... Since her family was rich, why had they left her... Was she hated & not loved...she wasn't thinking rationally her feelings were mixed with anger & sadness & pain.. She cried for a long time too, she was going to miss grandma alot but then again annoyed at the same time because she hadn't asked Grandma anything before then or even gotten any information before she died finally, that wasn't the end of the world, she was going to get the truth one way or the other she summoned courage & left for what she assumed was home.

"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
