Well this is weird. Charlotte couldn't help but think this was not a good idea as they stood silently in the elevator. Her friend Kait had been desperately trying to hook up with some guy at the bar they had visited for after work drinks, and now they were going up to his apartment. She was just supposed to stay long enough to make sure he wasn't some serial killer, then she could make her excuses and get the hell out of there.
The guy, apparently his name was Nick, fixed his gaze on Charlotte. Just long enough to make her feel uncomfortable, all the while Kait clung to his hand like she was terrified he would escape. He was tall, very tall. The space in the elevator felt smaller and smaller as she tried to look anywhere else but at him. Finally they reached the ninth floor and stepped out. As the door opened, he looked down at the marble floor and then at the girls' shoes. 'No heels'. An accent, maybe Spanish or Italian.
Charlotte was the only one wearing heels, Kait was as usual in her old Converse sneakers. Reluctantly she slipped off her shoes. The marble was cold under her feet, a shiver through her body only adding to the sense that she shouldn't be there. Kait was oblivious as she wandered around the apartment like an excited child. She caught him looking at her again.
Nick went into the kitchen, presumably to get a drink for them. Taking her chance, Charlotte grabbed Kait's arm and pulled her within whispering distance. 'We should go'. Kait looked confused for a second, then almost came to her senses it seemed. 'One drink. We'll be out of here in 10 minutes'. At that moment, Nick came back into the room with a drink in each hand, passing Charlotte's to her first. He also produced one for himself, and motioned for them to sit. Charlotte perched on a chair in the corner of the room, with Kait practically jumping on Nick's lap on the lounge. Kait spoke too much, as she always did, pausing only to take deep sips of her drink. Some kind of mixer with vodka. Charlotte took a sip toΒ be polite, but she had already had too much and wanted to keep what little focus she had left on making sure this guy wasn't about to kill them both.
Kait ignored Charlotte's two glances at her watch and finished her drink with a flourish. Nick watched intently as Kait shakily placed the glass on the table and sat back on the lounge. Her head flopped back, and in a matter of seconds it was pretty clear she was fast asleep. The sound of Kait's snorts and snores was the only sound, although Charlotte could hear her heart pumping frantically as she realised that the 10 minute escape plan was not an option. She only had 2 now - wakeΒ her up or leave her there.
Nick stood up and collected the glass from the table. He walked up to Charlotte, towering over her, and held out his hand. She took a moment to work out what was happening, finally handing him her almost-full glass and watching cautiously as he left the room. When he was out of view, Charlotte tiptoed over to Kait, shaking her and whispering frantically to wake up.
'Oh she'll be out for a while'. She froze at his voice from behind her. Footsteps now, slow and deliberate. Charlotte stood up slowly. He was right behind her now, close enough for his breath to tickle her neck. He stepped in front of her, staring intently at her, brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face. Charlotte flinched at his touch, breath growing increasingly shallow as she realised what had happened. His fingers moved down her cheekbone and over her lips. They moved down her chin, tracing slowly down her neck and stopping at the top button of her green dress. He took a step back again, looking hungrily up and down as a hunter would its prey. His hand reached out and took hers. He lifted it to his lips, planting a gentle kiss on it. Then, he turned away and led her away.
Charlotte was almost frozen, being led against her instincts and will down the hallway. She let out a panicked gasp as he led her to what was obviously his bedroom. Nick stood behind her. Suddenly his hand slipped around her neck, shifting her red hair away from the delicate skin, soon to be replaced by his lips. The other hand returned to the top button of her dress. With a flick, the button popped open. Then the next, and another. His hand slid inside, caressing her heavy breasts over her black satin bra. More buttons, pop, pop, pop. All the while, his lips and tongue skated over her neck and cheek. Her dress was entirely open now, his hands all over her body while the intensity of his kisses to her neck increased rapidly. She had to stop this. With a sharp intake of breath, Charlotte broke free. 'I have to go to the bathroom'. It was all she could think of. As she began walking towards the door, her dress began to fall away. She realised he was holding its collar. He looked at her with a sinister grin as she turned. 'You won't need this then'. The dress fell to the floor.
As the bathroom door closed and locked behind her, Charlotte inhaled frantically. She had to get away. Standing in her black underwear, her mind raced. He had drugged Kait, so she wouldn't be waking up any time soon. If she ran, what would happen to her friend. If she didn't, it would surely end in her rape. Maybe worse. Her phone. She had to get to it. It was in her handbag next to the chair.
Charlotte took a deep breath, attempting to drive out some of the panic running through her mind. She flushed the toilet, took another deep breath and slowly unlocked the door. Oh fuck.
Nick was leaning against the wall opposite the bathroom door. As it opened, her eyes met his and she tried to smile to put him at ease. He stepped towards her and kissed her. His tongue danced over her lips and against hers. Her mind scrambled, she didn't notice the hands behind her deftly unclipping her bra until it was too late. He pulled it off her shoulders and tossed it to the floor. Now, he broke off the kiss and stepped back to admire. She had spectacular tits, that was for sure. D cup, heavy and milky white. Her nipples hardened rapidly as he gently rubbed them. Nick knelt down, his tongue and lips exploring every inch of her chest. Charlotte closed her eyes.
