I was visiting my uncle and his new wife for the week and her family made a surprise visit. The relatives decided to go out for the evening for drinks and partying. I thought to myself "one more year and I'll be able to go clubbing right along with them." Being left out by this unfortunate circumstance, I sat in the recliner reading a novel and listening to the hum of a late night infomercial on the television. However, I wasn't alone. Aunt Catherine's nephew, although old enough to party, decided to stay at the house and catch up on some college work. He was all star of the wrestling team. I'd heard many stories about the fights he had gotten into outside of the ring. He broke some arms and ribs on many occasions throughout high school. He turned his life around and got a scholarship and was apparently doing well in college.
About half an hour after the family left, Curt stalked into the living room. I looked up from the novel to see him standing in the doorway with a sly look on his face.
"Done with that homework already? I haven't even gotten through a chapter yet."
"Oh, you won't be finishing that any time soon." He replied.
He stalked over to me in one swift movement and slid the book out of my hand. My heart began to thud and I became aware of his sick intentions. My eyes widened as he caressed my cheek with the back of his fingers. My only reaction was to kick, and I did, aiming for his crotch. He was quick to grab my leg though, and he twisted it to the side. I gasped a breath and cringed a little, reaching and scratching at his tight grip around my ankle. With the other hand he grasped my throat and pulled me to the floor.
"Let me go damnit!" I screamed at him as I struggled some more.
With one quick blow he slapped my left cheek and spikes of pain flew through my face. I let out a short scream but he returned his grasp to my neck choking the scream off. I clutched at his wrist but he only squeezed tighter.
"Listen girl, you know I am stronger than you. Quit fighting me or I will hurt you. It is in your best interest to succumb. In the end, you'll be begging...no...pleading for more."
His words weighed on me. He was stronger, and judging from the pain still in my ankle, I knew he wouldn't hesitate to hurt me. I couldn't let him touch me. No, I would not let him inside. I would not beg for it either. My thoughts continued to race as he moved his fingers from my throat and up to my lips, caressing my cheek bone, and finally running through my hair. I lay there on the floor motionless, debating my next move.
I caught him by surprise and pushed him away, struggling for the doorway...for an escape...on my knees. He swiftly got up and rushed for me. He grabbed me by my long, golden hair and pulled me backwards onto the carpet, slamming my back on the floor with such force as to shake the room. The breath was knocked out of my lungs and I gasped for air. He pulled me across the carpet and back to the center of the room. Luckily, my shirt prevented carpet burn.
He forced a quick jab punch into my stomach and I let out a wail. I turned to my side, clutching the spot where he hit and felt tears coming to my eyes.
He chuckled, standing tall above me. "Are you going to keep fighting? That hurt didn't it? If it's that type of pain you want, I'll be sure to give you more. Or, you could relax, quit fighting back, and let me have my way with you in a much more pleasing fashion."
"Bastard!" I retorted.
