"It's nice to see your face again, Mia. Although the sight of your tantalizing ass was certainly one to behold."Mia shut up immediately and took her turn blushing. At that moment, I was in awe of Alyssa's power. She was firm and teasing, all rolled up in this mysterious little bundle."So now that we are all on the same page, what brings you two here?" Alyssa asked."My brother called, Ma'am. If what he told me was even half true, I became concerned about Vie. She was always such a sweetheart and so shy; we just wanted to make sure she's okay," Lizzie explained.My jaw dropped at their concern. I had never really talked to Lizzie, and I never talked to Mia at all, but the look of worry in their eyes touched me deeply. I looked over at Alyssa and she was giving them a soft smile of approval."Good," she said happily. "Vie needs friends right now and it's a relief to see such wonderful ones."Both women glowed at her compliment."Well, we subs have to stay together. Not to mention Betha
My sleep that night was restless. I kept tossing and turning, waking up to any little sound, thinking that it was Trev returning home. By the time the sun rose, I had given up trying to get any rest, and the heartache I felt had turned into despondent anger.I grabbed a bathrobe figuring it was better than nothing and went to head downstairs. Outside my door, in a neat pile, was a fresh set of clothes. Warmed by her thoughtfulness, I made a mental note to thank Alyssa when I saw her. That thought was raised tenfold as I realized they were my own clothes. I was not sure how she had managed that, but I didn't complain. I appreciated Alyssa's help. Even if her bosom was slightly bigger than my own, making it hard to properly fill out her clothes.The best part was my cellphone sitting on top of the clothes. Its little green light was flashing steadily, indicating that I had a message from someone. I opened it quickly to find several missed calls from a number I didn't recognize and even m
"And if I say no?" I challenged, happy I sounded more courageous than I felt.There was silence on the other end then a chuckle. "Such spark," he commented with a bit of appreciation. "If you say no, then I will be forced to find someone who will say yes. It'd be a shame to take the other dark-haired woman. But I bet she'd be fun to break."Alyssa! How did he know about Alyssa? Break her? Everything Trev had said in the truck on the way out here came to mind. These men had no problems kidnapping, raping, or murdering women."Ah, yes. I see you understand my meaning perfectly," he said happily.I swallowed the bile that was rising in my throat and my knees were shaking so badly that I could barely keep myself upright. After a few minutes, I finally gave up and let myself fall to the porch floor."What's going to stop you from doing that to me?" I asked, putting words to my fears."We wouldn't need to because we'd have our money," he explained as if it was really that simple."You'll le
"Vie! Stop calling me!"I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Bethany, listen, I forgot that paper of authorization you gave me to withdraw the money from your safety box."I spoke quickly, hoping she would not deny what I was saying."Vie, what did you do?" Bethany gasped in the phone."Oh," I giggle then winced a bit when it sounded a bit hysterical to my ears. "Nothing you have to stress on. They just need it today and I can't seem to get in without your approval.""Oh, Vie. Please tell me you didn't make a deal with them," she pleaded with me.I held my finger up to the teller."I'm so sorry. Apparently, the note is not the only thing I forgot. I'll be right back," I told her, with a comical roll of my eyes. She waved me away, her smile never failing.I stepped aside to where no one could overhear me."Look, Bethany. These men are giving us one chance to fix this. I have one hour left to get this money and get it to them or they'll go after Alyssa."There was dead silence on the other
"Indeed."His contemptible gaze looked me up and down before he reached down to grab the bag of money. He tossed it to a man behind me that I immediately recognized as his associate named Mikey. His face was a bit bruised and roughed up, but not beyond recognition. He barely even glanced at me before opening the bag and stacking the money up on the counter."Count it," the leader demanded.By the time he was done he had a nice pyramid stack, and he began counting it. I tried hard not to shift impatiently as we waited, but it was not an easy task."Hello, Señorita," whispered the man, behind me breaking my concentration.His foul-smelling breath washed over me and threatened to choke me."We should go into the back and get to know each other better, sí?" he asked in a lewd voice.He pressed his hips against my back, and I could feel the dreaded tiny erection poking against me. He rubbed it against me, and I wondered, humorlessly, if he would get the insult if I turned around and emptied
I tried to shove the limp body off me, but there was something wrong with my arms. I raised them gingerly and only managed to catch a glimpse of the swelling and bruising before they flopped back down. I tried desperately to move them, but was horrified when one hand refused to move at all.A hysterical sob burst from my mouth, and I laid helpless underneath the body. Panic engulfed me again when the sound of pounding feet reached my ears. I struggled in earnest, once again, fearing that up next was going to be Antoine's companions. A pair of hands grabbed me as another shoved the body off me. I continued to scream and tried to kick, but I was so weak I resembled a worm on the end of a hook."Vie," a voice called.I whimpered, not wanting to respond to the perceived threat."Baby… it's Trev," came the soft voice again.My fear choked my mind and I took a second to respond. When I looked up, I saw Trev's face right in front of mine taking up my entire field of vision with his beautiful
The vague sounds of scuffling behind me drew my attention, and when I looked, I saw Trev fighting off several of the officers trying hard to get to me. But Trev's murderous gaze was on the officer standing behind me, who looked almost as if he were a mouse caught in the gaze of a cat. I stepped in front of the officer and raised my one good arm up to Trev."Trev, stop!" I said firmly.Well, as firmly as I could despite how weak I felt. That did not matter, though it had gotten Trev's attention like I had wanted it to."Stop," I repeated softly. "He didn't mean to."He stopped struggling and the men took that opportunity to cuff him before he could do anything else. They had to drag him to the squad car, but his eyes never left mine. He mouthed something that oddly looked like the words "I love you," but I knew I had to be mistaken.As Kevin had promised, the questioning did not last very long before they rushed me to the hospital. My body was ruled pretty banged up, but no concussion
A knock on my bedroom door several days later woke me long before I was ready. The doctor had prescribed me some pills to help me sleep and now the damn thing not let me wake up."Vie, I have the nurse out here. She'd like to meet with you for a few moments if you feel up to it," my mother called from the other side of the door."Ok," I slurred out.Fighting the urge to pass out again, I struggled for a few minutes to push myself upright in bed. A soft hand under my armpit helped me finish sitting upright. I looked up to see a face I never would have thought I would see again.Alyssa smiled back a secret smile. "Hello, Vie. Your mother has told me so much about you.""She has, has she?" I responded, trying hard to make sense of the odd way Alyssa was speaking to me."Vie, this is Nurse-""Alyssa, please," she interrupted before my mother could finish her introduction.I realized that is what was going on. She was acting as if we had never met. Relief filled me as the meds started letti
