Say you love me

Eighteen

POV TIVELLY

Chapter name: Why try swimming?

Her knife lacerates my shirt, forcing it to expose the front part of my body. My body pounds with the fading fear that the knife was going to plunge into my skin.

"This won't save Kaid or Grey in the long run. This will only keep them safe for the time being." Avelina forces my torn shirt to fall to the ground, revealing my trembling body with only a bra and shorts covering me. All of my wounds are out in the open now.

"You can't do this to her," Kaiden begs Avelina as she turns me around, showing the disgusting men my body. I want to tell Kaiden that it's ok. I will do anything for him. I'm used to this stuff. But I hold back, letting my words die in my throat.

She summons one of Monty's men over to stand in front of me, everyone watching him closely. I can feel Kaidens rage.

Knowing him, he will stop this guy from using me as he pleases. He would get himself killed doing that. What an idiot. I'm used to being used like this. Please just let me save you. Let me be used in the way I always am. It won't hurt anyone but me.

"And not all the men here are like this, don't hold this against them." She whispers in my ear to reassure me that they won't hurt me at any time but this. I question myself on if I should believe her or not.

The guy's hands extend to me slowly, taunting me as he gets closer to my breasts. I can hear Kaiden trying to yell at him, but Grey slaps his hand over Kaidens mouth, whispering the words, "They will kill her." Kaiden fights Greys hold but eventually stops when the sound of Greys soft whimpers fills our ears.

His hands are on my boobs, under my bra, his eyes are peering into me as I look away, my heart pounding as the frequent feeling of disgust fills every inch of me. He fondles my breasts, Avelina getting out from behind me. I realize she was actually holding me up as I fall, my back crashing into the wall as I am now onto the ground.

My cheeks are wet with tears, my knees fly up to my body, acting as an extra shell, keeping me from breaking apart.

His hands were light only a few seconds ago. Now he aggressively fondles my boobs in his hands, his eyes filled with horrors, showing that he is thinking of horrendous things to do to me.

He yanks my legs apart, gripping my knees with force to cause bruises.

"That's enough, you bastard." Kaiden grabs the guy, yanking him away from me and ramming him into the wall. I stay on the ground, my hands trembling violently as I continuously fail to grip my bra to pull it down.

Kaiden has him plastered onto the wall, his feet off the ground as Kaiden's hand squeezes his neck. Leo and Grey sit in front of me, they are saying stuff to me, but I can't process it. Leo bites his lip as a stressed expression appears on his face. I watch his mouth word "sorry" as his hands fly towards my bra, pulling it over my breasts for me.

I can see the concern their faces show as they look at me.

Their faces are replaced by Kaiden's as he scans my eyes, touching my face. "I'm so sorry." He apologizes, taking me in his arms, pulling me up to my feet.

I keep my body pressed against his, my head laying on his warm chest. His heartbeat is fast.

"I think it's time for us to leave," Avelina suggests, eyeing me as Kaiden protectively wraps his arms around me.

In only a few minutes, the people I didn't trust have left. Avelina, the two guys, and Monty... even though I think he lives here.

"We can leave now." Kaiden tells Grey and I. "N... no, I can't. I have to stay here." I respond, untangling myself from him. No matter how much I want to go home with him, I know I can't. So I refuse to be a burden to him and his family.
