Gingerly I perched on the very edge of the bed, as far from him as possible. He actually looked hurt, but shrugged a little and turned toward me.
"Ok Heather. I just wanted to say....well, there's a lot I'd like to say, but nothing you want to hear right now."
I continued to stare straight ahead.
"But there's one thing I have to tell you...something you should know in case you're thinking of going to the police".
I turned toward him then, startled. That was the
last
thing I wanted to do! But then, I don't suppose he could have known that.
"I have copies and printouts of all the pictures you sent me, all the letters too. All of our conversations are logged--remember our roleplays? Oh, and those wavs..."
I had no doubt that he'd kept and logged everything. Of course. The perfect crime. The bastard. The most fucked up thing about this whole night was that no matter how I'd been brutalized, no matter how scared I was I had only myself to blame and I knew it. Maybe I should have called this story Stupid Bitch Gets What's Cumming to Her. That's exactly how raw and ugly and sordid this sorry ass tale has been. And so true!! Damn, that title rings so true!
It really sickened me now, knowing he had my pictures--the sexy ones especially that I'd teased him with. My face burns even now when I think of him looking at them...remembering....gloating.
"I know you said no...a lot, and that I really raped you. Maybe I'd go down for it", he said lightly with a shrug. "but would you really want all of that coming out? It would you know...."
I was shaking my head. "I'm not...I won't" , I whispered.
He kept talking as though he hadn't heard me. Maybe he hadn't; or maybe he just
wanted
to say these things to make me continue feeling helpless. He really had no clue as to how little his evidence meant to me....at least in any legal sense.
"...all of it. Not just the roleplays, but everything. Everything you ever said to me. Like I remember this one conversation we had when you said something like 'you gotta find me first!'...that was so damn cute...."
I'd heard enough and blurted, "I said I WON'T!!" quite loudly this time. In a little lower, but still nearly hysterical voice, I continued trying to convince him. See, I wanted him assured that he could walk away from this--it seemed the only way he was going to let me go.
"You don't have to keep telling me these things!! I'm NOT going to the damn cops! I never was! Nothing
you
said convinced me. I just....I don't want anybody to know." I knew I was telling the truth.
Nobody
could know about this....I would die.
Looking somewhat relieved he began easing closer to me. I still didn't like how he was looking at me. Not at
all.
"Well cool! Now that we've got
that
settled...." I didn't like the sound of his voice either. Him arm went around me....like we were on a
date
for godssakes.
Trying to wriggle away from his one-armed embrace I fairly whined, "Chuck....please. I need to go now....I
