The Final Chapter
Kay was not sure what had awoken her but she sat bolt upright in bed first staring at the door. The chair was still in place so what had woken her? She heard a click and turned quickly towards her balcony door. Roper was standing in the doorway looking at her with a very sinister look on his face.
âDid you really think you could keep me out of here tonight Kay,â he said as he walked slowly towards the bed.
Kay had enough time to jump out of bed before he got to her. They stood there staring at each other across the bed. âRoper get out of my room right now.â He didnât move. âYou got what you deserved and you know it, weâre even so letâs just leave it at that.â
âDo you think what you did to me makes us even Kay? I donât remember drugging you and leaving you tied up for two hours, although tying you up is a pleasant idea I must say.â
âIâm not going to let you attack me again Roper, now please leave. If you donât leave I will tell my uncle in the morning that I wish to leave and I will tell him itâs because of your unwanted advances believe me.â
Roper could see in her eyes that she meant every word she said. She had a lot of spirit heâd give her that. If he was going to be damned for taking her then he might as well enjoy her one last time. âWell in that case, I might as well give you good reason to hate me then. Besides, I remember taking you to full climax and not leaving you hanging full of desire, so we are not even Kay, not by a long shot.â He lunged across the bed grabbing for her getting a handful of the T-shirt she was wearing.
Kay grabbed the lamp on the bedside table and smashed it over his head. He was dazed and had let go of her. She ran to the door, pulled the chair away flinging open the door and ran down the hall towards the door. She knew he would get his senses back any minute and knew he was bound to catch up to her no matter where she ran.
She pushed the door open then slid back behind the huge grandfather clock over in a small alcove hiding in the shadows behind it. She heard him running down the hall towards her hoping he would not be able to see her hiding behind the clock. He ran past her and through the door, she could hear him running down the stairs.
She ran back towards her room then at the last minute she turned and went in his room instead. She half expected him to come back any minute to check her room again when he realized the front door was closed. If he checked her room again and couldnât find her then maybe he would think she had gone outside and would go looking around the property for her. She found his closet and hid inside in case he looked in his room as well.
A couple of minutes had passed when she heard him out in the hall. She had guessed right, he had came back to see if she had slipped back into her room.
âDam it, where the fuck did she go,â he mumbled to himself.
She heard his footsteps walking away from the room. Then she heard the hallway door close as he headed down the stairs again. She opened the closet door and walked over to his window looking out on the front of the property. She stood to the side watching to see if he would emerge outside. It had begun to rain lightly but the sky was still bright with stars and the moon. Then she saw him walking towards the big barn where he had kissed her last night.
She didnât have much time to think, she couldnât stay in his room he was bound to come back. If she went to her room and tried to lock him out again he would still find a way to get in she was sure of that.
She was wondering what she was going to do as she turned back from the window. She looked around his room, everything in here spoke of the strong man who slept here. The king size bed in the center of the room seemed to dominate the room. She involuntarily shivered looking at the huge bed imagining them both in it. What the hell was she thinking, she turned to head to the door and there he was standing in the doorway watching her.
He closed the door and walked slowly towards her. âWell, what a nice surprise. I never expected you to be waiting for me in my room.â
Kay didnât know what to do now, there was no escape he would catch her before she could ever make it to the door. âPlease Roper, I want to go back to my room and go to bed. My head is throbbing from all this nonsense. I just want to go to sleep.â
He didnât move, instead he reached for the zipper on his jeans and started to undress. âFine, you can go to sleep but not until Iâm done with you and when I am youâll sleep in my bed,â he told her.
âWhat! You canât be serious!â he was naked now and she was in total shock. âWhat makes you think that....â she didnât get to finish her sentence as he pushed her down onto his bed.
He had fallen on top of her pinning her to his bed as he had the night before. She was really fighting him with every ounce of strength in her. She bit his shoulder making him winch in pain, âstop it Kay, stop fighting, youâre the only one who is going to get hurt if you donât,â he told her through clenched teeth.
She struggled with him for five more minutes until she was weak and out of breath. âPlease donât do this,â she begged him.
âBegging me to stop is not the kind of begging Iâm looking for Kay, or have you forgotten last night already,â he told her trying to kiss her.
Kay had managed to evade his seeking mouth, she still had some fight in her and if he tried to use one of his hands to grab her face she would bite him again and fight him with all her strength. She was not going to make it easy for him.
âLet me go Roper, I mean it! Do you always force yourself on women who donât want your attentions?â
âNormally they give themselves to me without any effort on my part,â he told her rather smugly.
âThen go bed one of them, at least their willing and Iâm not!â She had turned to face him when she told him that, giving him the opportunity to kiss her. She kept her mouth tightly closed no matter how hard he tried to force it open with his kiss. His mouth ground into hers and she tasted her own blood.
âThe more you fight, the longer it will last Kay.â
âWhy me Roper? Why are you doing this to me, when I know there are women who would welcome you into their beds?â
âBecause I want you, if I wanted someone else I would go to her,â he tried to kiss her again but she turned her face away. He was frustrated as hell, if he let go of her with one of his hands she would fight him tooth and nail he knew that. Last night she was in shock and he was able to get the upper hand, tonight she was not so easily subdued.
âRoper Iâm not your type of woman, so why are you doing this to me?â
âHow the hell would you know what type of woman I want or need,â he asked her.
âI saw the woman hanging on your arm at the party and later when you were kissing her over by the barn. I also saw pictures of your ex wife when George was showing me his picture albums and some of the girls you dated when you were younger and living here on the ranch. Iâm nothing like them. Roper, listen to me please. George loves you like a son anyone can see that, and he respects you. How do you think he would feel if he found out you forced yourself on his best friends niece while she was a guest in your home?â Kay hoped that little speech would make Roper see the huge mistake he was making.
âKay you have known me for two days, how can you possibly know what I want. While I have known you most of my life. Iâve seen you grow up, through Georges pictures on his trips. I even knew when you married and that the man obviously didnât think enough of you to marry you in church, only in front of a magistrate. I knew when you finally left him and divorced him, I would even recognize your children if I passed them on the street. Seeing the pictures you sent George over the years. No Kay, Iâve known you almost a lifetime, and you have only known me two days.â
âWhat do you mean? I donât understand any of this Roper! Iâm so confused I give up, I canât think straight and Iâm to tired to fight you anymore. If you insist on doing this then go ahead, I wonât fight you,â she told him with defeat in her voice.
Roper looked at her for a long time. Her body had relaxed and she was no longer fighting his hold on her. He moved slowly off her body and gathered her in his arms. âGo to sleep Kay, I promise I wonât do anything,â he wrapped his leg over hers tucking her in close to his chest. He kissed her softly on her forehead then rested his chin on top of her head. âWeâre both tired Kay, close your eyes and go to sleep.â
