Mag-log inI gulp down, entranced by the size and hardness of his dick. I salivate the second I remember how deep and rough he claimed me at the alleyway. I'm somewhat amazed that he took me out of my room and I had taken his dick in my mouth and not choked to death.He notices my silence and thirsty expression. His cock twitches. He shoves it in my face until the tip connects with my lips. I instinctively turn my face away as pride and humiliation takes over.I am Elena Beaumont. I am not a cock sucker. “No,” I whisper, my voice trembling. I won't do it. He has stripped me to nothing, but I won't do this. “There must be something else I can do.”A suffocating silence fills the basement. Mask doesn't bother to argue. He slides his rock-hard dick back into his pants. I see the effort he’s taking to keep the beast down, but it doesn't stay down. He pushes it to the side and zips up. I can't help but notice the prominent bulge in his pants. He takes a step back toward the table. He picks up the tr
I know who he is?My mind spins through a blur of faces, voices, and memories. A stalker? Someone from school? Someone who follows me online and knows where I live? I stare into the dark, racking my brain.Nothing. Nothing. Fucking nothing.I hate myself for being a little too excited when I hear his footsteps descending. His presence comes with light, and it fills me with a thrill I can't name. I lift myself off the ground despite how weak I am. I sit up, lean my head against the wall, squinting to get a better look at him. He’s here with the bucket of warm water again—to wash me. “Are you ready?” he asks, kneeling in front of me.“Why?” My throat hurts. I haven't said a word since he left me. Now that he’s here again, my voice sounds strange to my own ears. “Why. Do. You. Hate. Me?”“You're confused,” he says quietly, his tone almost conversational. This isn't a weather report. Fucking speak like you're guilty of some heinous crime, you fucking bastard. “That’s fine,” he continues.
“I don't know who you are,” I say, but it sounds like I’m trying to convince myself.Our gazes lock in silence, a silence that suffocates only me, because he obviously doesn't look like he’s choking. The intimacy of what he had just done burned through my mind. Not even my own mother bathes me. How dare he? I can't make sense of this nightmare. I can't make sense of anything. My voice breaks under the weight of fear. “Please… just tell me who you are.”“Like I said, you already know who I am.”“I don't know you.”I can't place it. His voice. His posture. Everything about him. I search through my mind, trying so hard to pin his faceless face to any familiar face in my mind, but nothing happens. It’s as if my brain refuses to give him an identity.My heart pitter-patters when I look at him. He’s the only man who’s fucked me thoroughly and left me craving more of him. My mouth parts, but no sound comes out when I feel my core clenching with need. The plastic bottle in my hand crunches b
No. A sob tears from my throat. Mask reaches into the box, pulls out a second slice of pizza, and hovers it over the bin. He looks at me, waiting.“I’m not letting you touch me,” I say defiantly, my voice cracking with anger.The second slice hits the bottom of the trash. He reaches for the third, ignoring my painful cries. I don't know how much more I can endure. Tears cloud my vision, but I see him perfectly in the back of my mind. He’s about to throw the third slice when my defiance breaks.“Wait!” I sob. “Stop! Please, stop!” Watching the food vanish into the filth is tearing my sanity to shreds. I can’t take another second of this hunger. “Okay! Okay! Wash me! Just please don't throw it all away!”Slowly, he turns his head toward me. I can feel that vicious smirk return.“Good girl.”I hate him. I hate that he made me say it. I hate that my body is so desperate for food that I would surrender even this small piece of dignity I had managed to preserve. Nothing else matters now, no
Mask is every nightmare you pray never finds you. But I can't help from running into him in my sleep. I tell myself it’s the hatred that’s burning inside like an unquenchable inferno. That loathing has been the only thing keeping me warm enough to stay alive in this cold where he dumped me.I don’t know how long I sit, shaking like a leaf, but I'm glad I’m no longer as thirsty as I was. Even though my stomach is growling, water is all I can think about.When will my next sip come?Back in nursing school, they taught us that the human body can survive much longer without food than without water. I've read of a man who fasted for 382 days. He basically survived from consuming water, tea, and some supplements. He didn't eat solid food. My point is that he didn't die.So you see that hydration is essential for almost every function in the body. Without enough water, your blood volume drops, your organs struggle, and eventually, your body begins to shut down.I never thought I’d understand
When you're in the darkness for too long, time loses all meaning. I don't know exactly how long it’s been since the chaotic incident in the woods. Maybe a few days. Maybe a week. I don't know how long I've been held captive—blindfolded, cold, and naked.Ever since Mask smothered my screams and plunged me into blackness, I have been kept in this airless void. Suspended in a suffocating silence where my only reassurance is the steady rise and fall of my own chest. I haven't seen him since.I’m not well, but I’m alive. That is the only thought keeping my fractured mind from dissolving entirely. There are no windows. No sunlight. No clocks. Nothing to tell me whether it’s morning or midnight. Just darkness and silence.The first time I woke up in this void, I wondered if Claire found Nathan. I wondered how broken she would be, and the thought made me sick with sorrow. What happened to the other bodies?The police must be swarming the estate by now. How is Grandma doing? Have I been report
