It was another breezy late summer's night, the wind from her open bedroom window was knocking the bedroom door against the frame with a repeating thump that irritated Mel as she tried in vane to complete the e-mail she was sending. She needed to sound cute, but professional, intelligent but sexy, informed but flexibleβand that door kept knocking into the frame.
She got up and slammed the door shut with force, the wind caught the door mid flight and it shut with a vigor that caught her by surprise. A shiver ran through her body and she threw a comfy old t-shirt over the bra and panties that had been all she was wearing. After a momentary pause to regain her breath she was went back to her computer, calmed by having thrown the door closed.
She finished what she was sending with a cute little semi-colon bracket, she loved them they were flirty and she was trying to seem sarcastically flirty. She smiled as she clicked on the send button. She leaned back; her only task of the evening was finished. It may have been nearly midnight, but she was finished. She headed for the kitchen and a celebratory drink.
She stopped at the doorway however. Some sense somewhere in her alerted her to something gone wrong, something a miss. Then she heard a sliding sound, it sounded like her kitchen window sliding up. Mel lived on the third floor of an old apartment building in the city and if one really wanted to they could climb the old fire escape ladder and get from the street to the metal landing that was on the opposing side of her kitchen window.
She knew that and she held her breath waiting to hear more, wanting to hear nothing. She stood silent for a few moments and heard nothing but the breeze rattling the photographs clipped to the fridge. Had that window already been open, it was the summer, but she hadn't been home all day; it was a large window and she closed it religiously when she went out. She couldn't decide. She still didn't hear anything so she began creeping the door open. She tried to look around the door without exposing her eyes to anything else that might be in the apartment. An impossible task as the man that had entered through her window was watching for her eyes, waiting for the door to open.
With a crowbar in one hand and a duffel bag in the other he smiled down at the helpless girl, Mel slammed the door shut, locked it and tried to scream. She scrambled to find her phone, but alas it was in the kitchen. Before she could make her way to the window to let out a scream her assailant had put his crowbar through her doorway. Now all she could do was stare: petrified by the hand that crept through the hole and felt for the lock.
With the door unlock the attacker swung it open. He moved toward Mel and as she crept back he cornered her at her desk. She bumped into the desk and tried again to scream toward the open window. He lashed forward and pressed his hands to her for the first time. He pushed a forceful, dirt encrusted hand over her mouth. Powerless to cry in protest the attacker closed the window slowly, dramatizing this final act that put Mel all alone.
Mel was already all too aware of that startling fact and now she hoped the attacker would lower his arm so she could plead with him for mercy. His hand smelled horribly and she could see all too clearly the dirt and filth that covered them. When he relented and let his hand down, she immediately began stammering her appeals. "Please, you can have anything you want; just don't hurt me; don't kill me. Take whatever you like, the TV, the computer anything, please."
Her attacker had her trapped on the desk in the corner of her tiny room and he was staring at her deeply. He undressed her with his eyes, a frightening foreshadowing that send waves of fear down Mel's back, the hair all over her body stood on end as she waiting, baited for the attackers next play.
Her attacker remained silent and he dropped down clutching his crowbar still and undid the duffel bag after placing it on the floor, his eyes never leaving Mel's. Out from it he pulled a nylon rope, Mel stammered again. "Don't hurt me, tie me up okay, but don't kill me. Tie me up take whatever you like and someone will find me, I'll be tied up, okay, not dead don't kill me." The attacker ignored her as he began wrapping the rope around Mel's ankles and knees forming two loops with the rope running up the back of her thigh between them. He pushed hard up against her body as he did this, leaving her arms crushed behind the weight of her own body.
She thought briefly about kicking him, or freeing an arm from behind her body, trying to hurt him and run away. Fear had gripped her thus far and as the thought passed through her head, the attacker seemed to notice and he grabbed hard on her knees with his massive, strong grip. It sent a sufficient warning against competitions of strength.
He completed looping the rope around Mel's knees and he pushed the end of the rope under the loop the pulled it up across the crack of her bum. His hands lingered around her waist and crotch. Mel thought she might wet herself; she had to hold in her urine and her fear with her might.
As his hands quietly fondled her ass cheeks the attacker looped the rope around Mel's waist, lifting her and slamming her down on the desk again as he did it; Mel was now lying sideways, almost in the fetal position on her desk, the three loops around her lower body left her able only to wiggle like a worm, unable to fully extend her legs out, or to separate one from the other; her head was bumping into the computer screen as the attacker ran the rope up her back.
