"Touch me one more time and I will break your arm." I swat away the annoying hand that was shaking me awake.
"Rude much." I glare at Dante.
"Not in the mood." He rolls his eyes.
"You're overreacting." I raise an eyebrow in his direction.
"Oh so you wouldn't have minded sitting with Malibu barbie over there while she battered away of her latest conquests, for FOUR hours straight" I point towards Cassie who was talking to Ryder with an annoyed Amber staring holes into her head. This earns a disgusted face from Dante.
"I though so." Chuckling he pecks my cheeks. Even at the hand of the current situation I smile.
"Come on. I have to assign rooms or they will pick it themselves, and I don't wanna find out what we'll hear in the nights." I chuckle at his horrified face. Sliding out of the car I let a yawn that escapes my mouth while stretching my limbs. Shielding my face from the burning light of the sun I walk alongside Dante to where Amber and the rest stood. I sigh as I hear the bickering between Amber and Ryder as we got closer.
"Come on guys, cut it out." That earned me a glare from Ryder which I responded to with an eye roll of my own.
"Okay, I will be assigning rooms. These will be final, if you disagree I don't really give a fuck. You can get you bags and head on home." I smile as I see Ryder nodding dejectedly at the seriousness of Dante's statement.
"Laura and Amber. Heather and Mali-, I mean Cassie," I clasp a hand on my mouth to stop myself from outright bursting out laughing. Dante elbow me in the side. "Finally Ryder and I." I could hear the distaste as Dante spoke which earned a smile from me. That's for elbowing me in the side earlier....
"You should find your bags already in your rooms. So unpack and come down to the kitchen. Lunch should be served soon." I nod alongside everyone except Ryder.
"So like can we go inside? My skin so does not fair in the heat." I roll my eyes at her, though half of me doesn't disagree. Dante nods and she literally runs inside. Or as fast as she could in those 6 inch heels of hers.
Dante stops me from following them by pulling me back with my arm. He leans in and whispers in my ear. " It's here." I furrow my brows at what he was talking about before my eyes widen at his suggestion. My head snaps towards his with a raised brow.
"You sure?.. The Hallister is here?" He nods with confidence while a smile threatens to break through. I squeal and throw myself at him while wrapping my hands around his waist. He chuckles and wraps his arms around me.
"We'll take break for two days and then go looking. We are here for a vacation after all." I smile and nod at him. Afterwards we both go inside.
I freeze and stare at the beautiful architecture of it all. It was wooden and looked like nobody had been here for a while but at the same time it had a sense of homeliness. Modern furniture decorated the whole cabin while comfy rugs were sprawled onto the floor. What caught my eyes the most was how vastly big the kitchen was. Astounding marble decorated the island and cabinets while chefs were running around preparing food. In the corner a staircase followed upstairs to probably where the rooms where. The walls in one corner were full on glass while the other side was closed off with wood.
"Sweet." Ryder was the first one to speak while most of us were still admiring.
"Omg, your are like so rich." Malibu barbie turns towards Dante while batting her lashes. I almost choke on my spit on how bad she looked. Dante on the other hand burst out laughing. She huffed at his reaction while flipping her hair and stomping upstairs. Ryder followed behind her with Aubrey close on his toes. That left Dante, me and Heather.
"Well I should go unpack." With one smile in my direction she walks upstairs.
"That was priceless." I smile towards Dante which he nods to with a smile.
"Go on, you should unpack as well. Food should be ready in a while." I nod and peck his lips. Slowly I walk up the stairs. I stop as I see a huge a narrow hall with two different hallways. Going by instinct I turn to the left and walk down. I hold my breath as I hear giggling. Tip toeing I peek from the corner and almost gasp at what I see.
It takes me a while to digest what I see in front of me. I try to lean in a little further to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Anger bubbles inside of me and all I want to do is walk up and tear them apart while bitch slapping her and punching Ryder in the face. How could she do this? She knows he had a girlfriend..... That son of a bitch. I still didn't want to believe what I was looking at.
Heather and Ryder locking lips.
Heather...? Not Malibu barbie? I was officially confused. Not wanting to get caught I turn around and run down the hallway. I stop when I see Amber walking out from a room. I walk over and smile tightly at her.
"You okay Laura. You seem out of breath." I nod.
"I'm fine Amber." She nods and opens the door for me. Closing it behind me she runs over and jumps on her bed while I stared in awe at how huge the room was.
"Wow." Amber nods.
"Wow, indeed." I sigh and sprawl onto the beautiful king sized bed.
"Well, you unpack. I'm going downstairs. Dante called and said the food was ready." I nod not bothering to look up. Staring at the ceiling I contemplate whether to tell Amber or not. Sighing I begin to unpack numbly. My body working by itself mechanically. After I was done I decided to head downstairs like the others.
Reaching downstairs I see the whole island decorated with a feast. Ryder was chowing down while Malibu barbie was striking a conversation with Amber who was staring dreamily at Ryder. My eyes dart to Heather who I was surprised to see staring daggers at Amber. Well that confirms what I saw.... My mood sours when Ryder flashes a smile towards Heather when Amber wasn't looking. That does it. I'm telling Amber, she need to get out of this toxic relationship.
Even if it breaks her...
Suddenly somebody pulls me in a warm chest while wrapping their arms around me. "What's wrong mi amor ?" Dante's hot breath fans the side of my face and I instantly relax. Should I tell him?..
"Nothing. The food looks great by the way." I smile at Dante who nods. I would be a fool to think that Dante believed that but he let it slide. This was something I was going to do myself. Something I should have done long ago.
After everyone was done eating I followed Amber to our room. To say I was nervous would be an understatement.
She walks over and jumps face first onto her bed. "God that was heaven. I could live here forever." I chuckle at her.
"I agree," I try to find a good time but I just couldn't say it...
"I'm going to go see Ryder. Be right back." Hoping off the bed she skips towards the door before my arm latches onto her list. She looks back at me confused.
"Uh-" I try to form words but they get stuck onto my throat.
"You okay Laura?" I sigh out of breath of frustration. Oh fuck it.
"I saw Ryder kissing Heather." I feel her go entirely still. I wait for her to start yelling or denying it but she just stands there. Shaking her I start to get worried.
"Hey Amber you okay?..." She looks up at me through glossy eyes.
"Are you sure it was him?" Unless there is another jackass in this cabin I'm pretty sure it was him. Instead I just nod dejectedly. She breaths out a sigh of distress before letting herself fall into my arms.
I hold her for a while before I feel my shirt getting wet. I wanted to bash Ryder's head in. How dare he make her cry? If only I wasn't a tad bit scared of him I'd have knocked his head with a frying pan. After seemingly hours of comforting she finally lifts her head off of my shoulders. Seeing her blotchy eyes and smeared tear streams I smile at her sympathetically.
Detaching herself from my hug she lets herself fall onto the bed.
"He always acted cold towards me. Neglected me. Never showed any affection towards me other than us sharing spit." A bitter chuckle escaped her mouth. " How dumb am I?... The red flags were waving all around me yet I continued to ignore them. I'm just as much at fault." She ended her rant with a sigh before stuffing her face into a pillow. Confusion swirled inside me and I was about to snatch the pillow out of her hands when she screamed.
She screamed and screamed until I could hear cracks in her voice. Finally she released the pillow and turned towards me with a content smile.
"I feel better." I couldn't help but cautiously approach her.
"Screaming really does help vent out your anger." She stated while smiling, as if screaming your lungs out in your pillow was an everyday thing to do. I collapse onto the bed beside her before chuckling.
"You be you Aubrey. Ryder was always a narcissistic jerk. He doesn't fuckin deserve you."My voice had risen a notch and my sentence ended with a growl surprising myself at how angry I was at Ryder's betrayal. Even if it didn't come at that much of a surprise.
"I know." A sigh escaped her mouth and she jumped off the bed with a determined smile. Turning around she walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?.." She opened the door and turned her head around.
"I'm going to do something important. Something I should have done long ago." And with a wink she disappeared on the other side of the door. Chuckling I let myself fall back onto the bed with a smile etched onto my face.
I'm glad she came to her senses...
Turning my body I let myself relax. Should I go out to find the sword with Dante?.. Nah. I wanna enjoy this for a little while longer. It wasn't long before I felt my eyes drop and let darkness engulf me.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
My eyes slowly start to open. Dreary from sleep I rub my eyes to wash away the tiredness. Stifling a yawn I stretching out my limbs. Adjusting my eyes to the darkness I spot Aubrey smiling contently while asleep.
Guess it went well...
Squinting I look towards the wall clock. 4 am?... Bloody hell. Why did I wake up so early in the morning?.. I slowly get up embracing the cold as my blanket slips to the ground. Getting up I tip toe to the door making sure not to wake up Amber.
I release a sigh of relief as I successfully finish my journey into the dark hallway my stomach demanding a mid-night snack. A smile makes itself appear on my face as I see the fridge coming into my line of vision.
Not able to contain my excitement I rush forward towards the kitchen. Rounding the corner I gasp as a hand suddenly reaches out of from the dark. It clasps onto my mouth muffling my protests. The person swing my body around making my back hit painfully into the wall. Fuck. Pain sears through my entire body and I support myself from the wall from falling over. Regaining my senses I sneer at the culprit.
"What the fuck?..." Glaring I stare at the person I wasn't that surprised to see. Ryder stood there watching me. Rage was clear in his eyes and I subconsciously took a step back. I could see him clenching and un-clenching his fists from the corner of my eye.
"You did it didn't you?" I blankly stare at him. Feigning ignorance I smirk while crossing my arms around my chest.
"I have no idea what you're talking about..." Before I could comprehend what was happening he had closed the gap between us and secured my hands above my head. I struggled with all my might to set my hands free but it was no use. He was too strong. Grimacing I glare at him. Leaning closer he whispered in my ear.
"Don't play dumb. It's because of you that Aubrey broke up with me" His voice had risen a notch and I was hoping someone would wake up. Chuckling at his statement I hold my chin up high.
"My fault? I think you're mistaken somewhere. The reason Aubrey broke up with you has got nothing to do with me." Taking a deep breath I continue. " It's because you cheated on her for god knows how long. It's as simple as that." By the end of my sentence Ryder breath was coming out raged. He was furious. A second later a chilling smile crept onto his face.
"You're right. But I don't regret it. Heather has got much more skill." Licking his lips his smirk grows. Disgusted I try to break free. No use.
Spiting in his face I say the one thing that came to my mind."You're a monster."
Warning. 13+ Mature scene...
Anger swirls in his eyes. Taking one hand off from holding my arms he wipes the spit that was rolling down his cheek with disgust. Even one of his hands holding both my arms was strong enough to keep me trapped. Leaning forward he blew a breath near my ear. Goose bumps appeared on my skin and I felt like throwing up.
"Wanna see a real monster?.." Before I could fully understand what he meant his mouth came in contact with my skin. Biting the skin on my shoulder he moves downwards. I open my mouth to shout out for help but Ryder was faster. The second I open my mouth his hands clamps onto my mouth. I felt nauseous as his continues to bite and suck on my skin.
Stop! Please stop....
Tear were running down my face as I struggled to get away. The harder I fought the tighter his hold on me got. Finally lifting his face he smiles at my tear stricken one.
"I like this expression of yours." Coming closer he crashed his lips onto mine.
No!
I tried to move my face but he held on tight. Opening my mouth to give him the impression I had given in I bit his lips with all my might. Yelping he lifts his head and glares. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. A proud sensation fills me as I see him flinch in pain.
"You shouldn't have done that." Taking off his tie he ties my hands above my head and secures it onto the sofa. Keeping one hand firmly onto my mouth he smirks. Horror strikes down my body as I realise what he's about to do. I push my body as back as I could and wring my hands in an attempt to break free. Pulling me back he grasps the front of my shirt.
"Where do you think you're going?" I shake my head vigorously as the tears that had once quieted down burst forward again. Pulling he rips my shirt off and hungrily stars at me from top to bottom. By now I was in hysterics. Sobs racked my body as I struggled to breath properly due to the force he was using to clamp my mouth shut.
Leaning down he sucks at the spot above my breast. I cry out in pain as he bits. Somebody please help. Help! I wanted to cry out to someone. The strength was slowly leaving my body and my power to struggle and fight back was depleting. I just laid there as tears poured down my face while Ryder continuously explored my body. In a final attempt to hold onto any dignity I had left I angle my head and bite the hand that was covering my mouth.
In instinct Ryder removes his hand from my face to tend to the bite mark I had now embedded. Taking the chance I yelled.
"Help! Dante! Aubr-" Before I could finish Ryder clamps his hand back onto my mouth.
"You bitch!" I glare at him. My expression quickly changes to horrified as I see him lean down. No! No more....
I don't even try to hold back my tears as he continues to come closer. I scream into his hand and try to turn my head. Ryder smiles and move forward.
Mature scene ends.
"You're struggle only makes me want to get you more." Inches before his lips touch mines he's ripped off of me. To tired to see who came I continue to sob. I could hear punches being delivered and Ryder's cry of pain filled my ears. Closing my eyes my body shivers. When I hear footsteps coming closer panic runs through me.
I back up and shake my head vigorously. "Stay back!" A hand caresses my cheek. Warmth spreads through my body and my shivering decreases.
"It's okay mi amor. It's me." My eyes snap open and Dante's face fills my vision. My body relaxes and I cry out in relief. Dante reaches over and unties my hands. I fling myself onto him as tears rushed down my face.
"What happened?" I turn my head towards Aubrey who was staring at horror at Ryder's bloody body. Her eyes turn towards me and they widen as she takes in my appearance. Dishevelled hair, tear stricken face, blotchy red eyes, bite marks covering my skin and my shirt ripped and thrown on the side. Her hand slowly cover her mouth in horror and she rushed towards me.
"Oh my god, oh my god. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I smile and hug her. My eyes were slowly drifting to a close and my energy had been extinguished.
"It's not your fault." My voice came out hoarse and scratchy. With all the screaming I had done it seemed reasonable.
Dante reaches over and picks me up. "Sleep, I'll take care of things" Smiling I nod and lean my head towards his chest while closing my eyes.Slowly I let myself drift into the quiet abyss with the sound of Dante's heartbeat keeping me company.
