His hands were under his head, fingers interlaced and his breaths were deep and steady. She was lying on her side, her back turned to him. Her eyes were closed and she was trying to clear her mind, breathe and get her crying under control. It wasn't working. What had he just said about a second time?
"Don't feel bad, Laura. You just picked the wrong night to come here."
The blindfold was wet from her tears and sweat. She was sort of glad he had put it on her as it now felt like it was shielding her from him. As stupid as it sounded she would be embarrassed to have to look at his face right now.
"But you're in luck. I don't mind a little company."
The bed creaked a little and she could feel his eyes upon her. She swallowed hard, suddenly afraid again. She couldn't handle that thing again. His hands on her and his cock inside of her. The whole thing had been foul and physical. She had no idea it would be so physical. Her body felt bruised where he had touched her.
"Not really a talker are you," he said, and then his hand was on her arm, pushing her back down on the mattress and turning her towards him. She gasped when her weight was put on her sore wrists. The tattered remains of her shirt slid down too, exposing her breasts to him. This was the most vulnerable she had ever felt and been.
"My wrists hurt," she said between tightly clenched teeth and was surprised at how calm and cool her voice sounded.
"It speaks," he said and chuckled. "Roll over and I'll make you more comfortable."
She froze, thinking he meant something sinister by that, and hence didn't move. He rose from the bed and after a few seconds he rolled her onto her stomach again. She was about to scream but then realised he was unlocking the cuffs. He took them off. At first she didn't move. Then she brought her arms forward and winced at a new fierce pain in her joints. Ignoring it, she levered herself to a sitting position and then reached up to take off the blindfold. He didn't stop her, nor did he say anything. She took it off and opened her eyes. The light in the room was too bright and she quickly closed them again, but not before noting that he was still standing right by the bed. She tried to cover herself with her shirt but it was too torn up to be of much use.
She opened her eyes a little and slowly got accustomed to the light. The lamp in the ceiling was the only one on in the room. She wondered if anybody passing by on the road would care about the lights being on in this house. Probably not. They had been for the past couple of weeks when she had been trying to sell the place. So had the heating, thank god. She was still cold though and crossed her arms in front of her. Of course, she didn't have anything on below the waist.
Shaking her head she cleared that thought and glanced at the man, afraid to be caught looking at him. He had bent down to pick up his jeans and were putting them on now. He was tall, with a fit body. There was no six pack or bulging muscles but he was strong. She saw it and she had felt it. His hair was cut short and dark blonde or maybe light brown, it was impossible to tell. His eyes were the same; maybe green, maybe brown. He had said his name was Dean. How he knew her name she still didn't know.
"Sex makes me hungry. Come on," he said and nodded toward the door.
"This wasn't sex," she blurted out. "You forced yourself on me."
"Semantics," he replied with an amicable smile and reached out to help her off the bed. She ignored him and rose unsteadily from the bed. Her coat was on the floor and she quickly bent to pick it up, afraid he would stop her. He didn't and she put it on, buttoning the front. She reached down to pick up her trousers, and this time he did stop her, a hand in her hair, pulling her up again.
"You don't need them," he said. "I like easy access."
She felt nauseous as he released her hair and gave her a push towards the door. He opened it and then put a heavy hand on her neck, guiding her out in the corridor and down the stairs. She glanced furtively towards the front door but he made her turn toward the kitchen instead.
"When are you going to let me go?" she said as they entered the kitchen, still brightly lit from their earlier visit. He led her to the kitchen table by the window and pulled up a chair.
"Sit down," he said.
"Please let me go, I-"
"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN," he growled and shoved her towards the chair. His voice had changed, there was a coldness to it and for a second his eyes had darkened. The actual colour of his eyes. Not his expression. She swallowed and quickly sat down.
