CAUGHT

CHARADE'S

As expected Tega carried Onome in his arms to the bathroom in bridal style. He set her down underneath a warm shower and scrubbed her clean gently. Every touch elicited a moan from Onome's mouth but it was hard to tell, if it was out of pleasure or pain.

When she was clean, he reached for her soft rounded breast which was small but the nipple stood perky and he suckled like a baby, Onome gasped and tried to push him away but he held her waist softly, yet applying pressure. He knew her body hurts as he could see and touch the swollen marks all over her. He was gentle as he made love to her over and over again. She could barely stand on her feet as he caressed every inch of her body licking and sucking. He was a perfect lover and this body was his.

Onome climaxed so many times that she lost count. When she felt she could not longer breathe, she gently pushed his chest as he attempted to go lower to her navel, planting kisses along the trail. She turned away from him into the shower to rinse of their multiple release.

While she stood under the shower, he smiled at her, reaching for a towel to clean himself. He brought out another towel and wiped her clean as he turned off the water. He led her to the bedroom and applied a bottle of oil by the bedside cupboard on her body. He ordered her into the bed. Onome entered into the bed and straight under the thick blanket cover cloth she laid, feeling warm and satiated.

However her body aches. From her head to her feet was drowning in pains. Tega wore a white shirt and a clean short which he wriggled out of his wardrobe. He took one look at the girl on his bed and went towards her kneeling by her side. He apologized once again and begged her to forgive him.

"Please forgive me sugar, I promise you this will never happen again. I am really trying to stop this abusive manner. Believe me I am trying. I love you Sugar" She nodded in the affirmative that she had forgiven him and she cupped his face in her hands whispering "I love you too". She did not have the courage or strength to ask him, what she did wrong to always warrant this manhandling. She neither had the ability to withstand any retaliation from the said questions.

Tega went into the wardrobe and brought her some painkillers, he left the room and returned back with a glass of orange juice.

Sitting up slightly, she gulped it down alongside the pills and laid down on the bed again. "Please don't go anywhere" he said " just sleep when you wake up all will be well".

That was usually his slogan after he had messed up. She remembered when they had their introduction party. They had a small quarrel about her friends who wanted to take her to another hotel that night. It resulted into a huge argument with Tega calling her a prostitute in front of her parents. She gave him a slap across the face to relate her fury but he beat her up mercilessly in front of her parents. Nobody could separate them as he held her neck attempting to strangle her. When he heard her mother crying and shouting loudly, he left the scene in anger.

The next day he bought her the Lexus Jeep she's driving. She could say at 21 she's the only young girl driving such car around her community and this made her very proud. She knew how this day would end. By the time she woke up, she would see several gifts that would calm her down and replace everything she felt she had lost or got broken.

This was her cross and she accepted it wholeheartedly until recently, she began to have a change of mind. Onome found herself asking a lot of questions "is this what everyone goes through in their relationship"?" Will he ever change or would he become worse. What am I doing wrongly?, Why am I here?" She painfully asks herself.

Queen and Regina used to be her closest friends. They were both Bayelsan girls who lived close to her. Queen was light in complexion and short in height. Regina was tall, bursty and also light in complexion. Of the three of them, she was the tallest. They would always advise her to leave the relationship because they were scared of Tega. One day he found them talking to her to leave him as usual and he brought in the mobile security officers stationed at the entrance of the resorts to flog the both of them.
