~☆~☆~☆ Prologue PT 2 ~☆~☆~☆
The hospital is great, in the sense they ask minimal questions and tell me someone else will come to question me and gather info. I don't want to repeat everything over and over.
I feel my body shudder and become confused by what I am seeing.
I smile up at his beautiful face as he leans down and kisses me.
“Amazing second date, Baby.” His finger proceeds to stroke along my jaw as his mouth begins to kiss along it. He is right. This was amazing. I can’t stop smiling.
“So, the plan now?” My smile begins to grow as his head tilts slightly at my words.
“Well, while it is the second date, it is like the tenth time we have met, so it is on you.” His words are soft against my ear, my body begins to shake from the sensation of his breath teasing my skin. I love this, how he is giving me a choice in everything, not just assuming and trying to get sex. He seems to be going slow, maybe too slow.
“How about you come in for a midnight drink?” I can hope, his brow raises as his look turns amused.
“Behave, Alena. You trying to seduce me is wrong.” I feel the heat flame in my cheeks as he reaches down and kisses my lips. “I will though, I like the idea of you seducing me.” I open the door and proceed to walk in, Max right behind me as I do. The feel of his finger stroking along my back made me stop. My heart quickened under his touch.
“I keep telling myself to behave, Alena, but your body is teasing in that damn dress.” I turn to look at him feeling my body getting pushed against the wall, his lips against mine as his hands grasp my body tighter. I move slowly, my hands reaching for him, watching as his hands grab mine, putting them in one of his. He then pins them against the wall. His other hand moves, teasing my body as his mouth begins to kiss and bite along my skin. My body moves, trying to break out of his hold as his hand pushes me against the wall, holding me in place as his mouth continues to tease me.
“Max, what are you doing?” I look at him with wide eyes. His head raises and his eyes meet mine.
“Fucking you baby, so fucking good. So good you won’t let another man near you ever again. You want that, don’t you?” His mouth lowers, biting against my breast as a scream escapes my mouth. His hands release my body momentarily to grasp my dress, the sound of tearing ringing in my ears. “I am going to love every second of this, Alena.” He pulls, tearing the thong off my body. His hands grasp my body, spinning me to face the wall. A sharp sting across my arse makes me jump, my body relaxing against his as his tongue teases my neck and ear.
I feel his hand pinning me against the wall, another sharp sting across my arse, causing me to jump and scream.
“Max, I’m not one of your submissives!” I try to turn and look at him, but his hands stop me. The feel of his breath against my ear has my eyes closing in pleasure.
“I know. I don’t expect you to be that person, Alena. This is nothing more than sex.” His hands slide down my body, and another sharp sting across my arse has me jumping and moaning. His hands spin me around to face him. My eyes watch as he kisses down along my body, stopping to kneel before me. His mouth kisses me, pushing me to the limit as I cry out his name, my fingers grasped into his hair.
I watch as he stands, spinning me to face the wall again. My body jumps at the sensation of his hand hitting my arse. Followed by another even harder, which causes me to scream. The sound of his clothes dropping to the floor makes my head turn, his hand grasping into my hair and stopping me. I stand facing the wall as I feel him move behind me. He isn't gentle, he is relentless in what he wants, and my back burns from where his nails tear into my skin.
“Max.” My word is quiet, the feel of his hand grasping into my hair and pulling my head back has me exploding in pleasure. His nails dig in deeper as he keeps trying to push himself to the edge of pleasure.
“Max!” I love this, but there is something that feels off. His hand wraps around my mouth, silencing me as his hips speed up.
“Shhh, Baby, just enjoy it for a few more minutes.” His words are followed by him biting against my neck, as he keeps chasing his release. I feel his hands turn me before carrying me to the bed.
My eyes close as I drift to sleep, smiling. Maybe it was a sign? Looking back, I now ask, was that all a sign? Was I blinded by love to see just how bad things would get? The power, the strength, the dominance, it seemed to melt me from the inside out, but there was that feeling of something else. Why did I not realise sooner?
I wake, a scream erupting from within me, as I take in the surroundings, I'm still in the hospital?
"It was a dream, you're safe." Her words hold no comfort, it wasn't a dream, it was a memory and I felt every bit of pain from his nails, mostly though, I felt the fear, that I buried and told myself was nothing.
I was wrong.
It was everything.
The sound of the alarm wakes me. I hate work, I hate university, and I hate mornings. Hitting the button, I look around. My life is nothing extraordinary; I live with my roommates, and I spend most of my time either here, at university or at work.I should be waking up in a hotel room somewhere, but no, I failed at that this year. Groggily walking to the shower, I climb in. As the water hits my skin, it feels incredible. Today needs to go fast. Tonight, however, needs to go even quicker. I honestly need tomorrow to arrive, like now. Climbing out, I begin getting dried off, my eyes looking around. I will be home soon; tonight won’t be long or late, and then I can just relax and spend a tiny bit of my birthday how I want to spend it. Walking out of my bedroom, it is quiet.Grabbing food, I embark on walking to university. I don't like driving if it isn't too far. My mind is flying away, every thought just running through it. Stepping in, I can't help but smile; a few hours to take m
“What? Oh yeah. We'll be there in two minutes. Stop complaining.” Georgina's voice snaps me out of my memories; she hangs up the phone turning to face me, smiling.“Just Liam complaining we are late; you will love it. Honestly, Alena, you will.” Liam is our flatmate. He is into all things tech - gaming, cameras, computers. I don't see the fascination with it all, to be honest.Why waste time sitting there pressing buttons? That is just me, though, maybe because I am not a tech person, and I don’t understand it. Yet so many do. I guess that's another thing Max hated about me, that I saw that as wasting my time. I wasn't interested in any of that.Of course, he was, and he tried forcing me to be.Liam is nice, though, and he has mousy-blonde hair and green eyes. He is like a brother to me, training to be an electrician at university. As the taxi stops, I look up at the bright lights there, a nightclub. Of all the places, Georgina picks a nightclub. My mind is screaming at me to run fast
“Hey, isn't this party and night meant to be for you? Why are you sitting here in a corner looking like Baby?”I’m laughing; I have to. His ‘Baby’ comment is just too funny not to laugh at. He is referencing me to Dirty Dancing but has this all wrong.“Well, I would rather stay in the corner. Unlike Baby, she had no choice. Her Daddy put her there. Me, I am happy here hiding. Considering the fact, I don't do all this, parties, people and things. I have not done it for years.” I watch something spark in his eyes, my mind trying to figure out what I said that would cause it.“My ideal night is watching TV and a glass of wine or any alcohol. You can tell that, seeing as I only know Liam and Georgina here. I don't get out much” His laugh is perfect; his eyes are perfect. I feel drawn to him; my heart is quickening.What is happening to me? I need to sort my mind out. If I don't, I will be hurt when he isn't interested, which he isn't. Why would he be? I am too broken anyway, and men would
Reaching the apartment, we stand at the door, he stands in front of me, my body screaming for him to kiss me. I want him to kiss me. Why can't I stop thinking about his lips on mine? My teeth bite down on my lip, looking at him.How can I feel so pulled to him? I feel like I should kiss him, but even I know that is a mistake. It will hurt when he knocks me back. He is being polite, nothing more.“Well, it would be nice to be invited in for a quick drink. You know, to say thank you for walking you home and all.” Nodding, I agree, unlocking the door. Walking up the steps to our apartment, I keep pulling my dress down.As we walk into the apartment, I can feel him behind me—a sort of electricity magnet pulling me to him. I try ignoring it, failing as I hear the door shut behind us.“Erm, feel free to sit down.” I point towards the sofa, watching as he walks towards it.“Erm, what do you want to drink?” I need
Jackson moves back and starts to button up his trousers, Jackson’s hands sliding up my arms and pulling what is left of the dress up. Lifting me down from the kitchen side, he leans down and grabs his shirt, looking at me, smiling.“Don't look so embarrassed, Alena. You should probably get a room next time, though.” Georgina is no doubt laughing at my face.“No need, I should be leaving, and Alena needs sleep before work.” He kisses my forehead and walks out, Liam chasing after him, no doubt going to argue with him, warn him off and tell him to stay away.“I want details, every single detail. I kind of wish we had set off five minutes later, then we could have walked in at the really good part with you both fully naked and him grunting.” Rolling my eyes at her, I shake my head.“Why are you back anyway? Liam said you would be late” They are back too soon. They can't have left long after us.&ldq
Running out of the apartment, the taxi is waiting. We sit in silence. Getting to the hospital, we run inside, going straight to the desk. “We are here to see Liam Woodcock, please.” “Are you family?” She is annoying me already. What does that matter? “No, we are his flatmates. We had a text about him being in a car accident.” She raises her hand and points to the seats behind us. “I am sorry, but only family are allowed through. Please take a seat and wait.” Wow, really? Okay. I look at Georgina, and she shrugs her shoulders. How do we even know he is okay? He could be lying there dying, alone. I want to cry; I feel it building up inside, the thought that he could be so hurt, and we can't even see him. Georgina smiles gently at me. “I am sure he will be fine. If it were anything bad, they would no doubt have said Alena. It will be nothing.” I nod, yet I hate myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have touched Jackson? The door we came through opens. Turning, I see Jackson walk in, fear on
Am I really going to do this? It isn't me. Sure, it used to be, but not anymore. We begin walking through a small alleyway towards the car park, my mind screaming at me to do something, kiss him, anything. I need to get out of here; the space is too tight, pushing me closer to him, too close for me to concentrate. He turns, his hands gripping my wrists, pushing my back against the wall, his mouth kissing mine, pinning my arms above my head, a moan escaping my lips as he pushes against me more, the feel of his shaft beneath his trousers. Moans seem to be escaping my mouth as his mouth continues to tease. My hands move to unfasten his trousers. He moves quickly, letting go of me; he carries on walking, a little faster than before to get us to his car. Driving in silence, I watch as we go out of the town centre, surrounded by trees and fields. We pull into a drive, the whole place beautiful and open. The house is breathtaking. I have only seen homes like this in magazines and on TV. W
Looking around, I notice a few other doors where walls hide the rooms, unlike the living room. It would be wrong to snoop, wouldn't it? Of course, it would. I am guessing the one in the kitchen is probably a closet. Walking towards the living room, my mind reminds me that I have not spoken to Georgina since I left. I should really check my phone. Walking back towards the kitchen I can't seem to see my coat. Walking towards the front door, I can see it in the hall. Grabbing my jacket, I check the pockets and take out the phone, my eyes look up and see another door, slightly ajar. No harm peeking if it was already open, right? Walking towards it, looking in, it is clearly an office. Still, the fact I know nothing about Jackson’s business is making it tempting to go inside and look. There is no harm in just walking around and seeing if anything is lying around that gives me an idea of what his businesses are. Then, maybe, I can work out what they are. Foolish, I know. Walking inside,
