Someone Stop Her 소설 & 이야기

someone corrected. “She’ll keep begging.” “She can’t stop.” “I don’t want to stop,” she breathed, tears in her eyes. “Please. Don’t stop.” The elevator dinged. Her floor. None of them moved. “Should we let her go?” the third man teased. “No,” the fifth said. “Not yet.” “We’re not done.” She was panting, trembling, lips wet, her thighs sticky and sore—but her eyes still sparkled. He reached over and slammed the emergency stop. She hadn't noticed it was just them now.

I asked, forcing myself to concentrate on something other than the dripping cunt waiting for me. “Stop,” she said curtly. “I’m trying to tell you to stop.”

She had more to lose than I did. She looked at me again, finally. “We have to stop,” she said. I walked toward her, but she didn’t move. “Do you want to stop?” I asked. She didn’t answer. “Celeste.” Still nothing. I touched her wrist. “Do you want to stop?” Her jaw clenched. “I can’t want this.” “That’s not what I asked.” We stood there quietly, her eyes flickering everywhere except mine. Then, finally, she looked up. And I saw it.

With an apologetic look on her face, she took a step backward, her eyes already beginning to fill up with tears. She suddenly stopped when she felt a solid wall behind her. She looked up, her eyes panicked, her lips open, but she stopped. It was Lucien who had stopped her, and he was pissed.

She gasps in horror, "Oh my god! Stop!" "Me, stop?" I ask, my hips thrusting up again even when I'm worried she'll turn me into roast beef, "I'm not the one doing it." "Stop, stop," she repeats, completely ignoring me as she lifts a hand to touch my face, "Ouch! Rem, you have to stop it, this isn't me. This fire is not mine."

she asked, a brief silence followed before he answered, “you stop.” The words landed heavier than everything else he had said before, because stopping now meant something final, something that didn’t leave space for movement anymore, and she didn’t slow immediately, didn’t lift her foot right away, because stopping felt like giving up control completely. “Why,” she asked, “because this is where it changes,” he said, and that wasn’t enough, “into what,” she asked, a longer silence followed before he answered, “into something you don’t walk away from.”

[Aaron, it's been twelve years. You can't just let me crash like this. If you help me now, we'll get married right away.] [I know you're mad. Name your price—I'll make it right. Just come back and help me through this.] I stared at the screen, numb. All I felt was disgust. She really thought a few weak apologies would make me fix her mess? Unreal. I blocked her number. Finally, silence. Didn't expect her to show up at my door.

"Tell me to stop now, if that’s what you need." ​The question rasped out of me, I wasn’t sure I could actually stop if she asked me to. Not with her looking at me like that. But I had to give her the choice. Thankfully, she only shook her head, eyes locked on mine, and whispered, “Don’t stop.” The last thread of my control snapped.

On my birthday, Genevieve Rothwell posted a photo with her male executive assistant, Ethan Kline. They were wearing matching rings. [Partners at work. Partners in life.] I commented: [You two make a great couple.] Genevieve called me right away, yelling that I was sick in the head and couldn't take a joke. Before she'd even hung up, she was gently comforting Ethan, who was tearfully blaming himself. Before, I'd have stormed over there and thrown a hysterical fit, making a fool of myself in front of everyone. But this time, I felt nothing. I couldn't have cared less.

After dinner, I did what I usually did and went to the front desk to pay. The poor signal held me up for a while, and by the time I finally sorted everything out, my girlfriend and my best friend were nowhere to be seen. I called them more than a dozen times before they finally picked up. "You took too long, so we left without you. We're at the LEGO-building studio on the first floor. Come over." It was during holiday, so the mall was even more crowded than usual. I waited through two rounds of the elevator, but both were packed, so I had no choice but to take the escalator. By the time I reached the studio, there was not a single seat left. Nicole and my best friend were sitting side by
