Haunt

Ch. 11- Get You

The soft kisses soon turn into ravenous love bites and my body comes to a stand still under Eric's touch. His large fingers dig into my sides, bound to leave bruises behind. I start to squirm under his hold, becoming fairly uncomfortable. His grip is relentless, though and I hear a faint growl escape his lips as I try to get away.

"Don't fucking move." He warns. Eric's words are harsh, making my blood run cold.

Roughly, he flips me over so that I'm now facing him. He levels himself over me, his hands now on either side of my head. He presses his body into mine, all his weight bearing down on me.

I can hardly breath.

"Eric-" I cough but he doesn't listen. Quickly, he dips his head down and trails wet kisses over my abdomen. My breath hitches in my throat as I watch him go farther down.

"Eric!" I shriek when his tongue dips into my belly button. He lifts his eyes up, glaring daggers.

He nears further down, closer to the waist band of my shorts.

He's not going to stop.

My mind races for how I'm going to stop him.

I have to stop him.

Eric brings his hands down, slowly pushing down my shorts so that he can have access to exactly what he wants. I can't let that happen, though.

I'm afraid of my next, knowing what will happen but I have no other choice. He's making me take action.

I begin thrashing under him so that he is forced to loosen his hold.

"Lianna!"

I dare not meet his angry gaze, knowing that if I do, it will stop me from my next move. I raise my left leg quickly and bring it and before Eric has time to react, I kick him. Right in his face.

He screams in anger as he rolls off of me and I take my opportunity to run.

"You fucking bitch!"

I run to the closed bedroom door, trying to open it. I rattle the door handle but it doesn't budge. My heart rate picks up as I realize I'm trapped in here.

With the animal.

I turn around looking for another exit but as soon as I do, a rough hand comes down on my cheek. Pain shoots through the left side of my face, causing me to fall to my knees. Unwanted tears pour over my eyelids.

He hit me again.

Just like I said he would.

Eric stands over me, his breathing gone ragged.

"You think you can fucking take me?! Is that it?"

The pain is like non other.

He has no idea what kind of strength he holds.

Tears continue to roll over like a never ending rain. I stare up at him with glossy eyes and find him seething. I sniffle, anger beginning to bubble up inside me.

"I'm not going to let you rape me!"

For a split second, something crosses over his face. A different kind of anger. An offended kind. I watch as his fists ball up and he takes another step closer to me. I instinctively slide back against the wall, trying to distance myself from his oncoming approach.

It does no good, though. Eric bends down and grabs my arm, not as roughly as he usually might and brings me to the bed, where he instructs me to sit down.

He paces back and forth in front of me while rubbing his forehead. Another sniffle breaks the silence and Eric turns to me with a pained but angry expression written across his face.

"You got what you deserved."

I can't tell if he's telling me that or trying to convince himself. Truthfully, I don't care. I want to be gone from here.

"I want to go home." My voice is that of a small child. My lower lip puckers out as more tears fall down my swollen face.

Eric is about to knock when a female voice echos behind the closed door.

"Eric, are you in there?"

I know by the sound of the soft seduction that it can only be the platinum blonde that I met before.

Bethany.

Eric just stares at me. Watching me as I watch the closed door.

"I should go." I whisper while standing to my feet, still somewhat wobbly from the impact. Eric catches me before I can begin walking away and latches onto my wrist and swiftly pulls me flush to his body.

"I'll tell you when you can leave."

Not this again...

"But Eric-"

His hand reaches around my waist and presses into the small of my back so now I'm pressed firmly against his chest.

"Don't start." It isn't a warning but a command.

With his free hand, he caresses my puffy cheek, looking somewhat concerned by his actions. I look up at his face to find a heavy crease lining his forehead. I want to pull away from his touch but know by now that that would not be a good move to make.

"Eric!" Bethany cries, impatiently.

I roll my eyes and earn a low chuckle from Eric.

A wide smirk spreads across his features.

"You're too cute."

What?

How does he do that? Hits me, yells, demands and then somehow can change and say these things.

He brings me to the door and gives me one last glance before opening it.

Bethany stands with her hands on her hips, obviously irritated by how long it took Eric to open up the door. When she sees him, her eyes light up but immediately turn dark when she sees that I'm accompanying him.

"What's going on?" Her lips rolls up in disgust but Eric keeps a firm hand pressed to my back, urging me to move past her.

"Did Amity get lost again?" Bethany continues.

Eric doesn't answer and I look up at him, finding that same frightening anger.

"Amity-" He spits, "was just leaving."

But I can tell that he's playing an act. He's putting on a show for her. The anger he had for me is now directed at the one person who interrupted us.

Poor girl..

Eric throws open the front door and nearly chucks me out on the front porch. I catch my footing just in time before falling again. He steps out and closes the door behind him, advancing me quickly before Bethany has time to come out.

He grabs me and pulls me to him, gently his arm wrapping around my waist. With his right hand, he traces his thumb over my quivering bottom lip.

"I've got some business I need to take care of but when I'm finished, I'm coming to get you, Angel Eyes."

He releases me and steps back inside, leaving me.

Twilight has dawned now and my heart beat thumps at a steady pace. I stare at the wooden door but finally turn, taking the path back home.

Running.

I don't want him to come.

I don't want him to find me.

Such. A. Sucky. Chapter. Truly, I apologize to all of my readers. I'll go now and hide. The picture above is who I think would play Bethany. Just so everyone can have a visual. I'll post a picture of Lianna next.
