Promises in the Dark Conclusion
Promises in the Dark Conclusion
They worked together like a finely tuned machine now. Jensen always anticipating Dean's needs and being right there to help him. Dean moving from one task to the next with focused determination. A few more weeks passed and the weather was considerably cooler. They had just finished patching the roof of the barn with the storm blew up out of nowhere. They scrambled off the barn and made a run to the house through the hard driving rain.

The storm hit with a raging intensity and Nicole was relieved when she heard a knock at the door. Jensen must have forgotten his key. She opened it smiling until she saw the four men who were filling her doorway. The same four men who had raped, beaten and left her for dead. She opened her mouth to scream but Drew, the DA's son and reason they were never punished for their crime, barreled into the room and knocked her to the floor. His eyes were predatory and cold as he sat on her chest and stared down at her. His partners in crime closed the door behind them.
“It took awhile to find you, Cupcake, but I keep my promises and I promised to finish this.” He hit her hard in the face stunning her and blurring her vision. He picked her up off the floor and carried her to the bedroom. His three buddies followed close behind. No reason they shouldn't be comfortable. It was going to be a long night.

Dean & Jensen were soaked and each headed off to shower and change before meeting up again in the kitchen. Dean knew as soon as he walked in that Jenny was manning the stove. Jenny liked to sing while cooking and since he had a nice voice, Dean didn't mind. Dean hovered in the doorway for a moment just looking at Jenny who was wearing one of Dean's old Metallica t-shirts and jammy pants. Dean felt as if he was being pulled forward by a magnet. He walked up right behind Jenny and husked his name as he slid his arms around him pulling his warm pliant body back against the muscled wall of his chest.
Jenny heard the tone in Dean's voice and melted back against him. He could feel Dean's hardness pressing into him and his cock twitched eagerly. “Hey Cowboy, you going for desert before dinner?” Jenny purred as he pressed back into Dean and pulled Dean's right hand down to feel his hardness. He heard Dean gasp and smiled hugely. Jenny turned off the burner and pushed back the pan. Dinner could wait.
Dean turned Jenny in his arms so he could look at him. Jenny met his intense stare with eyes glazed by desire and lips parted in anticipation of a kiss. Dean gently cupped Jenny's face and felt him lean into the touch. Christ, the boy was so sweet and ripe. Dean just wanted to take a bite and taste him. He leaned in tilting his head and Jenny met him half way. Dean traced Jenny's soft lips with his before pushing into the wet heat of his mouth. Jenny wrapped his arms around Dean and held on as he opened up like a flower for Dean to taste him. Dean licked deeply into Jenny's mouth capturing the boy's tongue and sucking on it. Jenny made a needy sound deep in his throat and shifted his legs so Dean could press up between then. Dean was hard as marble grinding against him as he kissed Jenny boneless. When Dean pulled away due to a need to breathe, he looked deeply into Jenny's dilated eyes.
“Bedroom, now.” Dean commanded his voice a deep growl.
“Thought you'd never ask.” Jenny teased as he took off running down the hall with Dean in hot pursuit.
When Dean rushed into the bedroom, Jenny was shirtless and wriggling out of his pants. Dean stopped to watch cause fuck the guy was an adonis. Jenny stepped out of his pants and looked to meet Dean's hungry eyes. He let Dean focus on the hard curve of his cock jutting up against his flat stomach before he climbed on the bed. Dean was stripped out of his tee and jeans in record time.
“Put a pillow under your hips.” Dean ordered and Jenny hurried to comply.
Dean crawled up the bed and leaned in to lick up Jenny's thigh. God, the boy tasted like honey and sunshine and Dean was wondering why the hell he had hesitated to have him. When he reached Jenny's sac, he sucked his balls into his mouth rolling them over his tongue tasting them. Jenny was trying not to move as he enjoyed Dean's sensual attentions. Dean released his balls and licked up the underside of his shaft tonguing at the hot spot under the head. Jenny moaned deeply and arched up needing more. Dean swirled his tongue all around the crown gathering up the precome and swallowing it down greedily. Dean raised his head and locked onto Jenny's lust filled gaze a question in his eyes. Jenny nodded his answer and Dean got the lube out of the bedside table before settling back down between Jenny's legs.
Dean's left hand stroked Jenny's shaft while his right was busy teasing the pink bud of his opening with the cherry flavored lube coating his finger. Jenny made a supreme effort to keep still as he knew Dean expected him to do but fuck it was hard to do. Dean dragged his thumb over the silken flesh of Jenny's cock as he pressed two fingers inside him slowly scissoring and crooking to open him up. Jenny closed his eyes and lost himself to the pleasure Dean was giving him.
Dean smiled and leaned in to close his plush lips around the tip of Jenny's cock and suck hard. Jenny arched up a little and Dean took the opportunity to swallow him all the way down to the base. The hot velvet heat of Dean's mouth was heaven as Dean increased the suction and swallowed around him causing his throat to ripple and constrict around Jenny's throbbing cock. Dean moaned at the thick salty taste of him filling his mouth. Dean's fingers were still working him open and Jenny was moaning and fighting against the need to press down on them. Dean pulled of his prick and it fell wet and flushed from between his pink swollen lips. Dean kitten licked his cock apologetically before moving further down between his legs.
Dean slipped his tongue in between his two index fingers. He lapped his tongue in waves against Jenny's velvety inner walls. Jenny keened and bit down on his lip so hard he tasted blood. Dean chuckled against his opening and began to tongue fuck him vigorously. Sammy had never allowed Dean to take him apart with his tongue and he was loving this.
“Please, I need to touch my cock.” Jenny begged prettily.
“No!” Dean growled fiercely and Jenny writhed helplessly against the sheets ,his hands digging into the quilt and hanging on.
Dean went back to torturing him with his tongue and using his index finger to tap against Jenny's sweet spot. Jenny was keening and spouting a litany of nonsense words and phrases. Dean finally had mercy and pulled away from him. He rose up on his knees and looked down at the beautiful blond boy in his bed. Jenny was panting harshly his skin covered in a fine sheen of sweat. His eyes were blown black with lust and his lips were red and swollen from him biting them. Dean reached out a trembling hand and touched him reverently almost worshiping him with his eyes and fingertips.
“Please, need you inside me.” Jenny's soft breathy voice was wrecked with need.
Dean pushed Jenny's legs back until he was bent double then he lined up and pushed in deep. Jenny moaned brokenly and arched up as tears slid down his cheeks and soaked into the pillow under his head. Dean's hands traced down his sides and came to rest on his hips. Dean changed the angle and plunged even deeper inside Jenny making him cry out harshly. Dean slowed down the pace to savor the feeling of being hugged in the velvet vice of Jenny's ass. He murmured to Jenny soothingly as the boy babbled incoherently beneath him. Dean moaned softly at the perfect tight heat surrounding his cock and sending electric shocks of pleasure through his body.
The heat was pooling in his spine and stomach and he knew he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer. He pushed Jenny's legs up and out to the side then he pumped into him mercilessly pounding his sweet spot with every powerful thrust. Jenny cried out again and Dean started jerking his leaking cock hard as he drilled into his ass. Jenny came hard screaming at the intensity and he coated his chest and Dean's hand. Jenny's body clenched down on Dean's cock like a vice and that was it. Dean shuddered and his hips stuttered through his orgasm. When Dean stopped shaking, he lifted his hand to his mouth and licked off Jenny's come. Jenny watched him and whimpered helplessly.
Dean looked down at Jenny's flushed face and saw the tears streaming down his cheeks. “Did I hurt you, Baby?” Dean asked his stomach clenching at the thought of causing Jenny pain.
Jenny ignored the question, “I wanna ride you, Cowboy. Please let me.”
The heat in Jenny's eyes convinced Dean that he wasn't in pain. He laid on his back and Jenny straddled him. It only too a few strokes of Jenny's hand to get Dean hard again.
Jenny gave him a smile that should be illegal and announced in his breathy voice, “Rider up!” Jenny looked into Dean's eyes as he braced his hands on Dean's chest and lowered himself onto Dean's rock hard cock. When he had Dean halfway in he started to rock down on him, taking even more. Jenny threw his head back and moaned like this was the best thing in the world. When he had Dean completely buried inside him he leaned forward and kissed Dean like it was the last thing he would ever do. He pulled back cupping Dean's face in his hand, “Love you, Cowboy.” Jenny whispered staring into Dean's eyes. Then he started to ride Dean hard, bouncing on Dean's cock and clenching like a vice around him making Dean groan and his toes curl. Dean thrust up into Jenny meeting every downward push, slamming their bodies together. The velvet vice of Jenny's ass hugged around Dean so exquisitely that Dean knew he wouldn't last long.
Jenny's head was thrown back, eyes half closed, making needy kitteny sounds as he rotated, shimmied and ground down on Dean's cock. Dean was fascinated by the slap of Jenny's perfect wet velvet heat clamping down on him. Dean couldn't hold back any longer he came crying out Jenny's name. He pulled Jenny down onto him and held him tight. Jenny managed to rotate his slim hips working him through the aftershocks and the room tilted and whirled around them.
When Dean regained his senses he focused on Jenny who was starring down at him with a blissed out expression on his face. Dean smiled at him and reached up to cup the beautiful boys face in his hand. Jenny leaned into the touch and purred softly deep in his throat. Dean's eyes widened and his cock started to harden cause fuck, no one had ever purred for him before. He cupped Jenny's tear streaked cheeks in his hands and said, “Love you, Jenny.” Then he pulled him down for a searing, claiming kiss. When they pulled apart they were both hard again.
“I'm ready for round three if you are.” Jenny purred.
Dean's answer was to turn them over so he was back on top. He moved Jenny so that his legs were wrapped around him then he leaned in to kiss him again. Dean was thrusting in a steady rhythm as he kissed Jenny and touched him all over. He loved the silken feel of Jenny's skin. He traced over scars and was reminded of Sam but he knew Jenny's scars didn't come from hunting. They came from his parents. Dean wanted to take away all the pain Jenny had endured and replace it with pleasure. He adjusted his angle so that he was dragging over Jenny’s sweet spot on every thrust. Jenny arched up to meet him and hung on tight. Dean reached and started stroking Jenny's swollen prick. Jenny cried out and writhed under him tears fell down his cheeks as he threw his head back and gripped the covers. Dean couldn't resist licking the divine curve of Jenny's throat and biting at his pulse point. Every nerve of Jenny's body was lit up and sizzling under Dean's touch. He came with a keening whimper coating Dean's hand and his chest and stomach. Dean pistoned into him as his own orgasm washed over him drowning him in sensations. They clung to each other and rode out the wave. Dean kissed Jenny thoroughly and Jenny purred appreciatively glowing happily in Dean's loving embrace. Dean finally pulled out carefully and laid down by Jenny cuddling him close.
“I'm gonna take care of you and Nic. You're my family now. I want all of us to be together. I want you both to live here like a proper family. Say you'll be mine, Jenny.”
“I was yours from the moment you kissed me.” Jenny answered kissing Dean sweetly and caressing his cheek lovingly. “You and Nic are my family.”
Here with Jenny held tightly against him Dean felt a moment of pure and profound happiness. He loved Jenny with all his heart and would protect him to the last breath in his body. Dean kissed the top of Jenny's head and fell into a deep sleep.
Jenny felt the terror grow in his mind and he held onto Dean's sleeping body. He had left the Lion in his mind unattended while he had been loving Dean. Now the raging beast was loose and spouting it's poisonous litany of words at him.
“You were always a worthless whore! I told you what would happen if you ever let another man touch you. The Lion was right before him now. The Lion who wore his father's skin. You are mine you filthy slut! You will always be mine! You really think he'd still want you if he knew what you really are. If he knew what you did?” The Lion laughed harshly as he leaned in close.
The switch in Jensen's brain flipped and Jen was there standing before the Lion. The young boy the Lion had tortured, beaten, raped and destroyed.
The Lion held out his hand, “Come with me, son. It will only hurt forever.”
Jen turned and ran deeper into the depths of his tortured mind. The Lion roared and gave chase.

The bed was soaked in blood that was darkening to black. Drew looked down at Nicole taking in the stab wounds, cigarette burns, and bone deep bruises that covered her skin. The four of them had spent hours inflicting the damage and she was done. Drew himself had stomped her ribs until they had broken and punctured her lung. Her breaths were liquid red with blood now. She only had minutes.
Nicole had fought them but with four of them she really hadn't stood a chance. She had retreated deep inside to a place where she couldn't feel the things they did to her body. She fixed an image of Jensen in her mind. The way he had looked the first time he had given her a genuine happy smile. She focused on the image up until the second that her last breath left her body.

Dean was sitting at the edge of the lake fishing pole in hand staring at the glimmering mirror surface of the water. This was his happy place that he visited in dreams. Castiel had visited him here once but besides that he had always been here alone. He was surprised when he looked to his left and saw Nicole sitting there. She was smiling but her eyes were sad. He felt another presence and looked back to the right. Jensen was sitting there but his eyes were empty.
Jen was running blindly from the Lion. He had to get away! He couldn't let the Lion catch him. He went deeper and deeper into the darkness till he reached what looked like a black lake. He stopped and looked back. The Lion was right there! He reached out and pulled Jen into his arms. As Jen struggled, they fell into the lake and sank beneath the surface. There was barely a ripple as they disappeared.

Castiel felt it the moment Dean gave Jenny his heart. Dean was his ward and he had hoped for this moment since Sam had been lost. Castiel felt happy for the first time in a long while but the feeling didn't last. Something was wrong. Dean was having a dream and he was in distress. Castiel entered the dream and saw Nicole and Jensen on the dock with Dean. As he drew closer he saw they were slumped in unnatural positions. Dean had stood up and was looking back and forth between thing tears glinted on his checks lit up by the sun. Castiel saw that Nicole was covered in blood. She was irreparably broken. Jensen looked as if his spirit has left his body it dangled limply in his chair.
Castiel reached out and touched Nicole's shoulder and opened his eyes in her apartment. It was easy to see that there had been a struggle here. The condition of the room attested to that. Castiel stepped into the bedroom and sat down beside her body on the bed. He touched her hand and let himself see her memories. He saw her whole life and death in seconds. He made a decision and called upon the Angel of Resurrection who answered his call and granted his request.
Castiel appeared in Dean's bedroom. He looked down at Dean and Jensen and moved forward to touch Jensen's forehead, then he touched Deans. Castiel looked down at them a moment and smiled before he went to smite the men who had harmed Nicole.

Months had passed. Jensen and Nicole lived on the ranch with Dean. Jensen was going to Veterinary school and doing very well in his classes. Nicole was working at a shelter for abused children and dating the man who ran the support group. Dean was happy. He had a family and a purpose. Bobby would drop by to visit from time to time and marvel at how Dean had mellowed. Dean would tease and joke and laugh now as he had never done before. One Saturday afternoon while Bobby was visiting and they were all out on the back deck, Castiel walked around the side of the house. Dean jumped up when he saw him and walked out in the yard to greet him. As they walked back on the deck, Bobby got up to greet Cas and the the three of them chatted quietly for a moment. Then they turned to Nicole and Jensen who were looking at them curiously.
Dean walked forward with the angel, “This is Castiel. We used to work together. He saved my butt more times than I care to remember.”
Nicole stepped forward and looked into Castiel's sapphire blue eyes. A feeling was welling up within her. She closed the space between them, hugged Castiel and whispered, “Thank you.” in his ear. When she pulled back, Castiel smiled at her and nodded.
Jensen stepped forward and shook Castiel's hand thinking that he looked familiar. He wondered if he had seen him somewhere before, maybe in a dream? He leaned in and hugged Castiel too not even sure why he felt compelled to do so.
Dean watched all this and felt a moment of unease a niggling in the back of his brain telling him that this was all wrong somehow. Then Castiel turned and smiled at him. A genuine glowing smile that shocked Dean and erased the unease as he returned the smile.
“You have a beautiful family, Dean. I'm glad I had this opportunity to meet them.”
“How about a drink, Cas? I'll just bring out the bottle.” Dean said with a chuckle and a shake of his head as he went in the back door.
When he came back out, Dean stopped a moment to take in the sight of Jensen, Nicole, Bobby and Cas all talking earnestly amongst themselves. Dean felt a surge of happiness so pure and true that a tear welled up and spilled over onto his cheek. He had everything he could ever desire now a lover, a family and a home. He would never have dreamed that this was the path his life would take but he was incredibly grateful that it had.
