Those were the first words Stephanie heard as she stepped through the door in the early hours of the morning as ripped stockings stepped on the smooth hardwood floor of the foyer, heels held carefully in her hand. Stock still, not making a sound save for the rapid beat of her heart that pounded within her ears, she was afraid to look towards the origin of the voice so raw with anger.
Within a passing of minutes that took an eternity, footsteps were heard on the wooden floor, determined, steady, and with purpose. It was then she felt it, the sharp sting and throb of pain alighting upon her cheek, the sound echoing through the quiet house. It took a moment for her to realize what had happened, the pain blinding her, causing her eyes to unfocus, even in the darkness surrounding her and the sliver of moonlight sneaking its way through the door behind her.
"Austin..." she finally whispered as her hand moved to her cheek, touching upon the swollen flesh that had already started to bruise. "What's wrong? What did I do?" followed, her voice meek, supplicant.
"You know full well what you have done you stupid bitch. You fucking whore! How many have there been Steph?" he yelled, pushing the door shut behind her to close off all light, leaving the heavy tension settling over them in darkness.
He didn't wait for her answer, his strong grip twining through her hair as he pulled her forward, against him. He was without clothing, his hardened body giving little as she tried to catch herself with her hands against his chest.
Fingertips splayed out over the light dusting of dark hair over his upper body, one she knew from memory all too well. She could feel his breath, laced with the scent of his favored scotch as his free hand fumbled around her clothing, violating under her skirt and touching where her panties were hours earlier, now shoved in her purse.
"Just like I thought, wet and used." He growled against her ear as he felt the evidence of her betrayal, causing her to cry out in protest. Still, he didn't listen, not when he was determined on his course of action, dragging her away from the door and down the hall, her feet slipping on the floor as he walked her, pushed her backwards.
Wood gave way to tile, then to the plush softness of the bathroom rug before she was pushed against the plastic curtain, deeper within, shoulders pressing against the tile wall at the back of the shower. The clink and snap of the curtain hooks popping off their metal rod as the shower curtain came crashing down sounded in her ears before the rush of water, cold, unwelcoming came raining down upon her as he turned on the spray.
"We will just have to make sure you're clean from your whoring around." He grunted, pulling at her blouse to send buttons flying in every direction. She cried out once more, determined to make this stop, fear flying within her.
