to see a figure moving toward me. A scream builds in my throat, but it never comes out. I have no time to react to the intruder who slams into me, pushing me to the ground face first. The glass in my hand is thrown, and glass flies in every direction.
“Hey, bitch.” Luca’s voice turns my blood turns to ice. He’s supposed to be dead. I shot him. I struggle against his hold as best I can, but he’s strong so strong, his body pushes mine into the floor, even as I buck against him.
“I’ve been waiting for you to be alone so I could make you pay for shooting me. Should have made sure I was dead before you left me bleeding on the kitchen floor.”
“L-Luca?” I stutter, not understanding how he is here right now.
“Did you miss me?” His face is so close, I can feel his breath on my skin. I shudder when he starts to kiss my neck. Bile rises in my throat as his erection pressed against my leg.
“What do you think Ivan is going to think when he finds you, thoroughly fucked, my cum dripping from your cunt?”
His words spark so much anger inside of me that I start fighting him… really fighting him. I buck, kick, hit, bite, and scratch. My body moves without thought.
Fight him at all costs, I tell myself. I will not let him do this. I will not let him touch me.
“I like when you fight me, baby, makes your pussy really tight.” He laughs and grabs me by my shoulders. His fingers dig into my skin as lifts me up a few inches just to slam me back to the floor with lethal force. My head bounces off the hardwood floor like a basketball. An explosive pain erupts at the back of my skull, making the room spin around me.
I think I black out for a moment, my body is numb, and it hurts to breathe. Once I’m finally able to form a coherent thought again, I notice that Lucan has ripped my shirt off and is touching my exposed breast, sucking, biting at the flesh.
I try to push him off again, but he just chuckles, wrapping a hand around my throat, squeezing till I see black dots across my vision. I feel his other hand reach down between my legs and tears start to roll down the side of my face and into my hair.
Ivan, where are you?
I close my eyes and try to let my mind drift away. I want to leave this body, forget the sick feeling filling my belly. I want to have no memories of this. Just when I think nothing can save me, that this evil man is going to take something so precious from me, I hear the sound of squealing tires off in the distance. I open my eyes and look up at the monster taking advantage of me. Luca is so busy trying to rape me he’s not paying attention to the noises around him, because he doesn’t realize that someone is coming until the front door swings open so hard I swear the whole room shakes.
I don’t have to look to know who it is that’s come to my rescue. Luca is pulled off of me in the next second. He lashes out with his hands, trying to get away, but Ivan and Roman move with superhuman speed. I cover my exposed chest with an arm and scurry backward.
Luca doesn't take more than one step before Ivan has him by the throat, slamming him against the closest wall. I get up off the floor and run down the hall, my stomach churning, my entire body aching. I can’t sit there and watch them kill him, even though he deserves it.
I hear Luca’s cries of pain as I reach the bedroom and slam the door closed behind me. I strip out of my clothes and go straight into the bathroom, turning the shower onto hot. I step into the hot spray and let the water wash every remnant of Luca away. His disgusting touch, his smell and his sweat, I want it all off of me. Erased from my body and erased from my memory.
I let the tears fall, leaning against the tile sobbing, releasing every single ounce of pain from within my body. I feel myself breaking in two, no way to hold myself together.
“Violet,” Ivan calls out to me, his voice frantic, and it makes me cry
