We'd had a lovely dinner at the local Chinese: intimate, entertaining conversation.
Having driven the short distance home, we pull into the garage. While I'm picking up my bag from by my feet, he steps out of the car and walks around to open my door. He is awfully charming. We walk together to the front door, which he unlocks for me, letting me walk through ahead of him.
He pauses by the doorway while I enter, switching on the light as I pass the switch. I take a few steps down the hall, mildly wondering why he's not following close.
Almost instantaneously he has slammed the door, killed the light and leapt toward me. I turn around longing for his warm embrace, welcoming the prospect of passionate love making.
Yikes! My face! He's slapped me! Striking my cheek hard, sharp.
Oh I get it - we've talked about this before, so not totally unexpected, but he knows it's a fantasy I've wanted to explore.
I firm my stance, feet apart, brace my shoulders and prepare to push back.
My face hurts.
I put my hands up and start to push his chest, my adrenalin pumping as he gives a little. Feeling strong, gaining ground, I chuckle a little. This is going to be fun. He halts my progress and pushes back, forcing me back a step so I re-double my efforts and push hard, leaning in with my upper body, bracing with my rear leg. He takes a clear step backward.
I start to wonder if I'd over-estimated his strength when we've talked about this previously.
My heart is pumping, my senses as sharp and focussed as ever. This is great fun!
Uh oh, I lost concentration momentarily and he gained a little advantage.
Fuck! Suddenly he's grabbed my wrists, and has managed a tight grip on both my wrists with just one hand. His other hand wraps around my throat as he takes a couple of effortless steps forward, forcing me backward up against the wall. He was just fucking with me, letting me think I had a chance.
I'm fighting back, pushing forward with all my might, alternately striking out with my legs, desparate to make contact with his shins. I'm shocked, fucking stunned, when he spits in my face. He can hear my reaction, and so does it again, muttering 'fucking cunt' close to my ear.
It's starting to feel less like fun.
