Waiting! She was so tired of it! He was supposed to have been here hours ago...She was beginning to worry that he wouldn't come. They had planned the whole thing out together- he would fly to the city, where he wanted to rent a car and drive to her home far away in the country. She had told him how to get here. Had she left anything out? She wracked her brain trying to remember, back through last night's sleeplessness and his call of the morning before. No, she thought, I didn't forget to tell him anything.
She paced the floors of her large house, wondering what was going to happen. She had met him on the Internet; but never in real life. This would be the first time. This would also be the first time she had ever done any of the things she had told him she wanted to. She wondered- if she told him she didn't like it, would he stop? She had heard all sorts of stories of horrible things happening to people who were stupid enough to do what she had done- meet someone from the chat rooms in her own home. She was beginning to think that if he ever did arrive here, she might have to just send him back home to Scotland.
Slowly a hand crept round her neck. As she drew breath to scream, another hand was placed over her mouth.
"I've been watching you for three hours," he breathed into her ear. "I was waiting for you to get scared. Are you?"
She nodded her head and tried to turn round and look at him. He wouldn't let her, so she tried to wriggle free of his iron grasp. It was impossible. She was starting to spiral upward into a state of panic, her breath getting faster and faster, heart beat hurting her chest.
"Good," he whispered. His breath was hot on her ear. "Now, listen to me. There is no turning back from here. It cost me a lot of money to get here, and I'm going to get a return on my investment. And nothing you do will make it otherwise. Are we clear?"
She nodded again. Oh dear God, she thought, I have gotten myself into trouble for sure now, what will I do?
"If you're thinking of calling the police, don't bother. I've disabled your telephone line." She could hear a smile in his voice as she wished to herself that she hadn't chosen to live so far away from other people. Now he took his hand off her mouth, but the other one remained on her throat, gently squeezing, as if he were thinking about strangling her but wasn't quite sure he wanted to yet. His fingers were smooth, and she was surprised to feel a rush of wetness between her legs as his other hand slid down her body.
He was leading her toward her bedroom. How did he know, she wondered. He couldn't unless he was already in here...oh no, he was in my house the whole time. He grabbed her hair and pulled her along, using it like a leash. When they arrived there he threw her roughly down onto her green metal four poster bed and stood over her, smiling evilly. This was the first time she had ever seen him aside from pictures, and she felt another rush of wetness. He looked like Billy Idol , all dressed in black and grinning like the devil himself. She was a bit embarrassed at herself, and she blushed.
"Well," he said. "Let's get those clothes off, I want to see what I've bought."
"Wait! You justβweβI "
