"Don't move."
I felt something hard and cold pressed against the back of my head, just behind my right ear. I jolted at the sensation, dropping my book as I turned to look. "Kevin what--?"
"I said--" The cold metal pressed harder, hard enough to let me know that the end was round. I heard the unmistakable sound of a hammer being cocked back, and a frightened gasp wound out of my throat. I froze, wide-eyed, staring down at my fallen book as I slowly put my shaking hands up. "For God's sake, what's going on? Who are you?"
"Shut up and do what I tell you."
His voice was husky, rough as he spoke. He pressed the gun harder against my skull, and I couldn't help but yelp. "Dammit, stop that!"
"Get up."
"No! Who the hell are you? Kevin--!"
"Your boyfriend can't hear you."
My heart almost stopped at that. My boyfriend is a black belt in karate. He doesn't get hurt easily, mostly because he moves too fast for anyone to touch him. How in the world--?
"Y-you didn't hurt him, did you?" I stammered as a horrifyingly strong hand wrapped around my bicep. "Tell me you didn't hurt him!"
"Get up." He pulled me to my feet, none too gently. He steered me away from my armchair, keeping behind me at all times. "Don't look at me."
"What do you want?" I cried, my heart in my throat. "Don't--ouch!"
"Don't move." His hand tightened hard on my arm as I felt the gun barrel slowly draw away from the back of my head. I stiffened, my ears straining to make out the strange clicking sound behind me.
I felt the first handcuff close around my left wrist and choked on a scream. I spun around in his vice-like grip, the fingers of my right hand hooked and raking across his eyes, nearly catching in the black knit of his ski mask. The man jerked back and ducked, swearing in fury as I kicked out his knee. Kevin's not the only one who knows karate.
The intruder sprang back, his fingers slipping away from my arm. He snarled something, one hand flying to his hip, where he had slid the gun inside his waistband. He tore the gun free and aimed it at my head, one finger curling around the trigger.
I gasped, staggering back, losing my balance. I head been getting ready to kick him in the head with a roundhouse, but I had forgotten about the gun. I reeled back, the backs of my calves slamming into the coffee table. I fought to stay up right, but the next thing I knew he had lunged forward, shoving me to the floor.
He pinned me to the ground, not making a sound as I screamed. I was in an awkward position, lying on my side with the black clad intruder lying on top of me. He was heavy, and I was out of ideas. In my panic I couldn't remember how to flip his body off of mine.
With one free hand I dug my fingers into the carpet, trying desperately to claw my way free. The intruder caught my right hand, wrenching it back. He planted a knee in the small of my back and rolled me over onto my stomach. I fought him as best as I could, but he was strong, and pressed my right hand against my back as he struggled with the left, finding the handcuffs hooked on my hand and locking it around my right wrist.
I fought for breath, grinding my teeth as I felt his solid weight pressed against me. I tried to turn my head to look at him, but I couldn't see that far. I could only make out his broad chest, clothed in black.
"What do you want from me?" I spat. "You son of a bitch! What do you want?!"
I felt his weight shift as he leaned forward. I could make out the edge of the ski mask, I could feel his hot breath against my cheek and ear as he whispered cruelly, "You know what I want."
I screamed. I squeezed my eyes shut and I screamed until my throat was raw. I hardly noticed as the bandanas were tied first around my eyes, then around my mouth, cutting the scream short.
I howled in protest as he stood, then hefted me up over his shoulder in a fireman's carry. He wrapped one arm around my legs, keeping me from kicking. I felt his opposite hand sliding up along the inside of my thigh, as he stood, chuckling. He turned and began to walk out of the living room.
"I've had my eye on you for a long time," he said, his voice husky, his gloved hand inching its way up to the junction of my thighs. "I've been dying to fuck you."
"Touch me and you will die!" I roared through the gag. If I didn't get kill this son of a bitch first, I knew Kevin (God help him) would tear the fucker limb from limb.
I heard the familiar squeak of a door hinge and jumped. He wasn't--? For God's sake, he was going in Kevin's room? He was going to--on Kevin's bed?!
I cried out in terror as I fell, grunting again in surprise as I bounced off of the mattress. I hardly had time to register where I was--I could smell Kevin's cologne on the bed, the familiar, fading scent of our sex--when a hand wrapped around my ankle and dragged me to the edge of the bed.
