“Oh, all right,” she said, as she headed to Jack’s office. She knocked and then walked in. He wasn’t sitting at his desk. Just as she was about to turn around, he came up behind her and placed a cloth over her nose and mouth. She struggled into unconsciousness.
Parker, driving Drew’s car, followed Sam to the bar. As he was pulling down the street, he noticed Jack carrying Sam’s body to the large building behind the bar. He pulled down his baseball cap and put on his sunglasses and pulled over to the side of the road. He picked up his cellphone. “Lucas Ford, please,” he said.
“This is Captain Ford,” he answered
“This is Parker. I think Sam’s in trouble.”
“Tell me.”
“I just saw Morrison carry her body out of the bar and into the
building behind it.”
“Where are you?”
“I’m watching the building, but I want to move in closer, but
they think I’m dead.”
“All right, I’ll be there soon. Don’t move in unless you
absolutely need to.”
“All right,” he said, as he hung up.
Sam woke up and found herself bound on a bed, in an unfamiliar room. Jack sat down on the bed next to her. “I’m sorry about this.”
“Why did you do this to me?”“Fair Samantha, I want us to be together,” he lightly touched her hair.
“That’s why I came here. You didn’t have to do this to me.”
“We played your game last night, so, today, we’re going to play mygame.”
“Jack, I didn’t sign up for this. I thought we were going to be something special.”
“LovelyAllure, I don’t want to hurt you, I just want you.”
“You can have me. I’m not fighting you on this. Please, untie me.”
“I don’t know. You know, Allure, I was thinking about last night and I can’t remember some parts of making love to you. I wonder why that is?”
“I don’t know. You did have a few glasses of Port.”
“Well, the next time, Iwantto remember. Don’t you?”
“Of course, I want you to remember. Jack, I want to be with you. You didn’t have to play this game.”
He untied her from the bed and she rubbed her wrists. He grabbed her and pulled her close to him. “I want you now.”
“Where are we?”
“Oh, this is my private apartment,” he slowly unbuttoned her blouse and led it slide off her shoulders. He grabbed her arms and forced them behind her back.
“What are you doing?” she cried.
“Oh, baby,thiswe will both remember,” he said, as he tied her hands behind her back. “Now, just stand there,” he said, as he placed a blindfold around her eyes.
“Jack?” she could feel his hot breath on her body. She could feel his hands down her body as her clothes were removed. She felt herself standing in the middle of the room and then his touching stopped. “Jack?”
“I just want to look at you. I want to memorize every inch of you,” he said, as he started to touch her again. He took her hand and placed it in his pants. “Can you feel me?” he whispered harshly.
“Yes,” she gulped.
He licked her breasts and ran his tongue down her body. All of a sudden, she felt herself fly onto the bed. “Come on, baby, fight me.”
“Jack? I don’t want to fight you. I said I’d give myself to you willingly.”
“It may have been fun for you, but it’s not fun for me. Come on, fight me. I like my women to give in fighting.”
She could sense that he was coming closer to her so she lifted her leg and kicked. Jack flew across the room. He stood up quickly and punched her in the face. She listened for his movements and then spun around and kicked him again. “Done?”
“Not even close,” he grabbed her arms and threw her on the bed.
She could feel his heavy body lay on top of hers. “This is not what I want,” she cried, as she tried to get out from underneath his body.
“It’s whatI want.Allure, I own you now,” he said, as he unzipped his pants.
“NO!” she cried. “You didn’t have to…”
“It’s all right, Allure. Don’t youremember?” he said.
Jack leaned over and kissed her mouth softly. “Soon, Samantha, it will be soon,” he whispered.
“Jack … I need to tell you … just not now…” she cried.
“When?” he whispered.
“Soon. I promise,” she said.
“I’ll let you do what you need to but I won’t wait forever. You know that I’mnota very patient man,” he said, as he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Sam rubbed her face against the bed until her blindfold was removed. She looked around the room and walked over to the desk. She turned her back and opened the drawer with her bound hands. She searched the drawer until she found a letter opener. She grabbed the opener with her bound hands and tried to angle it again the ropes that tied her hands. Finally, her hands were free. She hurried to get dressed.
She walked over to the door and noticed it was locked from the outside. She went into the bathroom and searched for a window. The frosted glass glistened with dew from an earlier shower. She tried to open it and when she realized it was glued shut, she kept hitting it with the handle of the toilet plunger to break the glass.
“I don’t know. Somewhere in that building. Jack came out and he was alone. I think she’s still in there.”
“Damn, we have to get in there,” he said, as they noticed Sam climbing out the window. “I’ll get her. You stay here.”
Parker got in the car and started it. He watched as Luke ran over to Sam. When Sam stood up, she collapsed in his arms.
Luke looked at her, “Sam, what did he do to you?” he cried, as he carried her body over to the car. He set her in Parker’s back seat. “Take her to the safe house now. I’ll meet you there.”
Parker sped off and Luke followed. Parker picked up his cellphone. “Drew, it’s me. Sam’s car is outside theRazor’s Edge.”
“I know. I’m right outside now.”
“I need it brought back to the penthouse.”
“Is that where you’re going?”
“No, I’ll be in contact soon. Keep an eye on them. I don’t know what he did to her, but it’s not good.”
“Keep me informed,” Drew hung up.
Parker laid Sam’s body on the bed and held her hand. “Sam?”
She slowly opened her eyes and then moved away from him. “Don’t touch me.”
“Sam, it’s PK. I won’t hurt you,” he said.
“Don’ttouch me. Please,” she cried.
“I won’t. I promise. Babe, what did he do to you?”
She buried her face in her hands and cried. “He …um… raped me. I told him I was willing, but he likes it rough. He tied me up and made me fight him, so he could force himself on me. He didn’t care that I was willing. He said he liked women to fight him back. PK, it hurts really bad,” she said.
“You’re bleeding. You need to get to a hospital,” he said.
“I can’t … I can’t … I did this. It’s my fault,” she cried.
Luke came into the room. “Sweetie, it’s not your fault.”
“Yes, it is. I should’ve never … I should’ve never made him believe that I wanted him. I didn’t know he’d do this to me.”
“Did he say anything else to you?” Luke asked.
“He said he had to break me in. He said he was coming back for me to do it again. I had to get out of there. Oh, god, my stomach hurts,” she looked down at her blood soaked shirt. “I must’ve cut it on the glass.”
“I called an ambulance. You’re going to the hospital,” Luke said, as sirens were heard in the distance.
“I’m coming with you,” Parker said.
“No, you’re supposed to be dead,” she cried. “Again, my fault.”
“I don’t care about Morrison. We’ll deal with him and his entourage later. You come first,” he said, as the EMTs came into the room.
They slowly placed Sam on the stretcher and covered her up. They rolled her out of the apartment. Luke looked at Parker. “Don’t go after him yet.”
“I won’t. She comes first. That son of a bitch raped her just because he wanted to. What kind of monster does that?”
“I don’t know, but he will pay. Right now, let’s go see Sam. I’ll drive,” Luke said, as the two men headed out.
