The Man Behind the Mask のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

It was late at night, and the neighborhood was so quiet that I could hear the distant meows of stray cats. I lay alone in bed, clutching the thin blanket between my legs, shifting restlessly. Despite the cool air from the air conditioning, my body burned with heat, and the blanket offered little relief. I let out a few frustrated groans, unable to endure the discomfort any longer. Eventually, I made up my mind and reached for the drawer of my nightstand, pulling out a toy I had recently purchased. Even though I was alone at home, my cheeks flushed as I opened the packaging. I hesitated briefly before switching it on, following the instructions that came with it. The gentle hum filled the room, soon accompanied by the sound of my quickening breath.The rave reviews I read online weren’t exaggerating. The intense relief that swept through my body and the warmth spreading across my face were proof enough. It had been five long months since I’d felt anything like that. The tension

The buzzing sound filled the room again, but by then, I could hardly think straight. Somehow, this man knew exactly how to use the toy, as if he’d done it before. Within minutes, I found myself forgetting that the man in front of me was a trespasser. Deep down, I shamefully wanted him to take me even further. He was so good at what he was doing. Before long, I was drenched in sweat, begging for mercy."Not enough… You haven’t experienced real pleasure yet," he whispered darkly, his voice like a devil’s. His hands moved skillfully, intensifying the pleasure to the point where pain and joy blurred together, and flashes of white light danced before my eyes. To be honest, even though I’d had boyfriends before or been married and had a child, I’d never felt anything this intense.I gasped, my breath heavy, clutching tightly to his muscular arm. Somewhere in the haze, I managed to ask, "Who are you?"I bit my lip hard, fighting back the words that nearly escaped—words that would hav

As the night deepened, I lay in bed, a strange sense of anticipation swirling inside me. My mind kept replaying everything that happened the night before, and even though I tried to shake the thoughts away, they lingered.Just as I was about to drift off, I heard the familiar sound of a key turning in the lock, followed by a low whistle. I snapped wide awake, my heart pounding. Fear and excitement collided inside me. My mind was torn in two directions.One voice in my head screamed, ‘You should call the police! A stranger is breaking into your house!’However, the other voice whispered, ‘He didn’t hurt you last time. In fact, you’ve been thinking about him all day. Isn’t this the kind of man you’ve been waiting for?’I had no idea what to do, so I pretended to be asleep.Soon enough, I heard his footsteps moving through the house, coming straight for the bedroom. He didn’t even try to hide his presence as he lifted the blanket and slipped into bed next to me.I kept my eyes squee

The police eventually arrested Mark for aggravated assault, and during my time in the hospital, my former in-laws even came to visit me. They offered to pay for my medical bills, but only if I agreed to sign a statement to forgive Mark.The sheer audacity of it infuriated me, and I ended up kicking them out. Mark was a monster and getting away without the death penalty was already too kind!Ryan, who had just finished his shift and come to see me, witnessed the entire scene. He immediately tried to calm me down.“Don’t get upset, Elizabeth. The baby’s health comes first…” His voice was gentle, and the way his hand rested on my stomach stirred a strange sense of familiarity in me.I had been trying to find some connection between Ryan and the masked man who had saved me that night because Ryan’s timing was almost too perfect. I even asked him about it in passing, but he brushed it off, saying that he had just been passing by when he noticed my front door was open. He had come to c
