I got home late that night. I was very tired. I unlocked the door and went straight through the apartment to the bedroom, not bothering to close the blinds first or to pull the drapes. All I wanted was to fall into my bed and go to sleep. Along the way, doing a striptease for whatever neighbor might be up at two a.m., I arrived in the bedroom completely naked.
"Murphy?" I called out. "Where are you, boy?"
I looked under the bed, behind the curtains, inside the walk-in closet, but found no cat. Then, as I pulled a nightshirt out of my dresser drawer, there was a rustle behind me on the bed and, despite knowing exactly what it was, I jumped and gave a little yip. It was the cat.
"Murphy!" I admonished him savagely. "You scared me!"
Pulling the nightshirt on over my head--then removing it again and turning it rightside out--I joined Murphy on the bed and stroked his back. "I really should get up and close the bedroom blinds," I confessed to him. Like all the other blinds in the place, were wide opened. "But I'm too lazy."
Murphy purred at me, fixing me with his weird yellow eyes, seeming to say that I could prance around naked all I wanted to--which is usually what I did--as long as I understood the consequences. I had long ago come to grips with the fact that I was an exhibitionist, and, as a consequence of that fact, that I might someday come to trouble for it.
I just didn't expect it that night.
Pulling back the covers and slipping beneath them, I set the alarm for eight o'clock, turned off the light, and settled against my pillow. I turned on my left side as I always do so Murphy could snuggle into the small of my back. Perfect, I thought, except for one tiny thing.
No man.
===============================
Was I asleep?
Something had startled me awake, and when I put my hand back to check for Murphy's presence, he was gone.
He jumped off the bed, I thought sleepily, and woke me up.
Only that wasn't true.
Standing beside my bed was the shadow-camouflaged figure of a man. I had just gotten a sharp inhalation of breath into my lungs when he flung back the covers and jumped on top of me. His hand silenced my screams.
"Don't make a fucking sound," he said hoarsely "or I'll kill you, understand?"
Terrified, I gave a tiny nod. His other hand was on my right breast and squeezing it very tight. Tight enough to make me wince. It wasn't until I loosened up and lay beneath him, unfighting, that he slackened his grip.
"That's better," he said. "You all right?"
I had never been less right in my life.
"What are you going to do to me?" I pleaded into his hand.
"What?"
I repeated my query.
Again he didn't hear it. Lifting his hand an infinitesimal amount, he asked me again.
"Please don't rape me!" I begged.
He laughed. "I'm in your bedroom at three o'clock in the morning and I'm not going to rape you?"
I shook my head. "Don't hurt me, then, okay?" I knew I'd be raped.
He continued fondling my right breast. I thought of the open bedroom window to my right. I thought of all the open windows in my place.
Slowly, keeping his eyes locked on mine--they were very blue, I decided, beyond the black of his ski mask--he let go of my breast and slipped his hand inside the v-neck of my nightshirt, finding it again. He asked: "What size bra do you wear?"
I blinked at him in confusion. My bra size? He wanted to know my bra size? "34B," I said.
"You don't feel like a 34B," he said. "You feel smaller."
Well, excuse me, I thought. I'm laying down. And stupidly, I felt embarrassed.
He got off me then, sat straddling my legs, and motioned me to sit up.
I struggled into a sitting position. My heart beat very fast. When he motioned for me to remove my nightshirt, I pulled it over my head, then held it clutched defensively in my lap, absolutely petrified. I was beginning to shake.
"Drink this," he said, holding out a metal flask. "It'll calm you down."
I shook my head no.
His lips curled into a smile. "Take my word for it," he said softly. "I have no intentions of drugging you."
I smelled the flask and decided it smelled like very good whiskey. I took a sip and choked.
"Easy," he said, taking the flask away. "It's pretty strong stuff."
I coughed half a dozen times into my open hand, then coughed harder into them both. Finally, I caught my breath. "What is that?" I croaked.
"West Virginia bootleg whiskey," he said, laughing. "You want some more?"
Eyes watering and my nose threatening to run, I shook my head no. He cajoled me into another sip.
"Better this time?"
I wiped my mouth. I was so confused. Did all rapists offer their victims a drink?
For a time, he just stared at me. Then, reaching out with his right hand, he placed it over my left breast, and then over my right. Self-consciously, like a thirteen year-old dealing with a boyfriend for the very first time, I tried to fend him off.
