Chapter 144: Kayden crusher

Curious, his parallel self used his new remote-presence technique to look in the back rooms of the store to see what was keeping the sales person. He found a storage room and two offices, but nobody was there.

Finally, he checked the changing rooms, and what he found stunned and enraged him.

In the very last changing room was a naked young man with a girl pinned to the couch underneath him.

The girl was nearly topless, with just a few scraps of a frilly top clinging to her arms, and her skirt was bunched up around her waist.

The naked man had one hand over her mouth and the other was trying futilely to pry her legs apart.

Soul space Jack didn’t need to see more to know what was happening, so he immediately made a template of the changing room door and linked it so he could unlock it, then export the change.

While soul space Jack unlocked the changing room door, physical world Jack stormed down the hallway to the changing room while starting a video recording on his phone. He wanted concrete evidence of this creep’s crime.

By the time Jack reached the changing room door, it was unlocked, so he opened it and barged in. Just as he did, the naked man removed his hand from the girl’s mouth so he could use both hands to pry her legs apart.

"Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends!" cried the girl, clearly distraught.

As the man ripped her panties off, he growled, "Once I pop your cherry, you’ll be mine! Your stuck-in-the-past grandfather will be forced to give you to me in marriage, and when you inherit, it will all be mine!"

"What!?!" cried the girl. "No! Don’t do this, Kayden! Please! I thought we were friends."

Jack had seen and recorded enough to prove the young man was attempted rape of the girl.

Neither the naked man nor the girl had noticed Jack enter the changing room, so they both jerked when he said, "Oi, get off her, you shit bird!"

To his surprise, the naked man didn’t move. Instead, the young man looked over his shoulder and said, "I don’t know how you got in here, but you’d better leave and forget what you saw, or I’ll make sure you don’t live long enough to regret it."

Jack didn’t care if the threat was serious or not. The look of horror and despair on the girl’s face was enough.

After warning Jack, the naked man had turned his attention back to the girl and was trying to penetrate her.

Not wanting to give the asshole a chance to make good on his threat to the girl, Jack took one step forward and kicked the man in the balls as hard as he could.

The young man made the weirdest noise, jerked up, hands reaching for, but not touching, his sack, then keeled over backwards to fall on the floor.

As the young man lay on his back, hands trembling, making a keening noise, the girl jumped up and ran to Jack, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you, thank you. Oh god, thank you so much for saving me," she cried, pressing her face into his chest.

At that moment, the girls arrived and crowded around the changing room entrance.

"Is that Kayden Richland?" asked Miranda.

"What happened here?" asked Sophia.

Pointing at the naked Kayden, then at the girl hugging him, Jack said, "He tried to rape this girl."

The girl had her face turned away from the door, so Sophia walked around to Jack’s other side.

"Lily?" she asked, on seeing the girl’s face.

"Mrs. Martel?" the girl asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I’m helping young Jack here shop for an outfit for the upcoming soiree at the Stetle Harbor Yacht Club this weekend."

Lily leaned back to look up at Jack, and said, "You’re going too? So am I! Can we go together?"

As Lily leaned back to look up at him, she gave him a view of her assets. She was Samantha’s height, but she was thinner and had small breasts.

Oh, shit! Is she underage? He glared at the naked Kayden. Damn, I should have kicked him a second time before he keeled over.

He was tempted to walk over and stomp on the little shit’s balls a few times, just for good measure. The only reason he didn’t was because he didn’t want to risk assault charges. The first kick was justified, crushing the man’s balls, while morally justified, would probably land him in jail.

As for Lily’s request, he’d try to let her down gently.

"I’m honored that you would want me to accompany you, but I must regretfully decline. I already promised to accompany someone else. Someone I look forward to seeing."

Lily gave him a disappointed, pouty look. It was reminiscent of the kind of look Miranda gave him, and he wondered if they had the same teacher. Or maybe the girl was also Aquitanian?

While trying to ignore the look on Lily’s face, and the view of her bare breasts, he turned to Miranda.

"Miranda, please grab the blue shirt out of that bag for me, would you?"

It was from his least favorite of the two outfits he’d purchased and didn’t mind parting with it.

As soon as Miranda handed it to him, he told Lily, "Here, why don’t you put this on, since your top is ruined."

Lily stepped back, looked down at her exposed chest, then up at Jack, and didn’t blush or cover herself. Instead, she reached out, took the shirt from his hand, and calmly put it on.

"Thank you Jack. It’s so nice to meet a true gentleman."

From her tone, he could tell she had strongly implied that someone else in the room was very much not a gentleman.

He glanced at Kayden and noticed that the young man was still laying on his back, hands hovering over his recently crushed family jewels, shivering. The man’s face was pallid and sweaty and he was making a soft keening noise, almost too quiet to hear.

Hmm, maybe one kick was enough? I hope I managed to crush his balls and they have to be surgically removed!

After buttoning up the shirt he gave her, she rolled up the sleeves. Otherwise, they would have extended well past her hands. She was short enough and the shirt big enough that it covered half her skirt.

"Lily," said Sophia, "Do you want to call your grandfather, or shall I?"

"Noooo!" moaned Kayden.

Lily glanced at Kayden on the floor, then at Jack, then at Sophia, and said, "Do I really have to? Grandfather was not particularly please with Kayden."

In the background, he heard Samantha mutter, "Ya think?!"

Lily continued, "Maybe he’s suffered enough?"
