Stockholm Syndrome

Chapter 8

I woke up in a soft bed and a soft pillow with very nice blankets. I tried to stretch but my ribs hurt so bad. I winced and finally realized that there were arms around my waist.

I tried to lift the one on top off my waist but when I tried Matt stirred in his sleep and pulled me closer causing me to wince because of my stomach. "Mm.. Alexa." He mumbled in his sleep. "I missed you so much." He whimpered in his sleep. I furrowed my eyebrows and shifted slightly which caused him to hold me tighter.

I flinched from the pain and decided it would be best if I don't move anymore. "I'm so sorry, darling." He mumbled again. "Baby, just forgive me!" He said a little more loudly.

It made me smile slightly knowing that he was talking about me in his sleep. No stop it. I pushed the smile off. I can't fall for him again. He's already hurt me too many times and I gave him too many chances.

"You're not leaving, Alexa." He said madly. His grip around me tightened noticeably and I yelped from the pain of the night before.

"Im still here, Matt. Don't worry." I tried to calm him down. I felt him breath in heavily and breath out. "Matt?" I asked, wondering if he was awake or not.

"Good morning." He responded.

"Can you please let go? You're hurting my ribs." I winced. I felt his grip loosen but not enough for me to escape from. He turned me around in his arms so I was facing him. Before I had time to put my arms in between us he pulled me close.

I put my hands on his shoulders as he held me. I felt his fingers trace circles on my back gently and he looked down to my lips. Mine glanced to his but I closed my eyes tight before anything bad happened. "Why did you close your eyes?"

"I don't know." I put my head down in embarrassment and broke eye contact even more.

I felt a pair of lips on mine and my head lifted up right away. I breathed in through my nose and breathed out deeply through my nose again. Matt kissed me slowly and put his hands on my upper back and brought me closer to him. I put my hands on his neck and partially his jawline and even to my surprise, I kissed back.

He kissed me slowly and passionately as I kissed back just the same. He started kissing me a little harder and I matched him. As our little make out session was getting more heated I slid my hands up to his hair and weaved my fingers in the locks of his soft dirty blond and also brown hair, slightly tugging.

He moaned and pulled away to lick my bottom lip. I nodded and I saw him smile before starting to kiss me again. His tongue explored the inside of my mouth and I explored his. He got on top of me and straddled my hips as he still kissed me. I turned on my back and ran my fingers down his chest.

He pulled away to take his shirt off and before he started kissing me again I looked down at his abs. He got so much more fit since I saw him last. It was kind of hot. "Take a picture it will last longer." He chuckled as he saw my cheeks redden from embarrassment.

He bent back down and started kissing me. He put his hands on my boobs and I tensed up a bit he took them away and I felt them on my hips next. I reached my hands up back to his stomach and traced his abs. His fingers gripped the bottom of Cameron's sweat shirt and it was just then when I realized I still had it on. "Who's sweat shirt is this by the way." He asked and then kept kissing me.

"My brother that I've never met." We kissed a little bit more. "He came home while I was on vacation and he left it there so I kept it." I started kissing him again hoping he would let it go. I wasn't lying the entire time. I did have a brother that I never met because we were separated at birth. I was adopted and he stayed with our biological parents.

He took it off along with my shirt so I was exposed in front of him with only my swimsuit top on. "I don't like it when people lie to me, princess." He said right before diving to my lips again. He squeezed my boobs and I gasped. His hands went down to my shorts button and I stopped him by putting my small hands on his big ones.

"No, Matt." I told him. I looked at him straight in the eyes.

"I'm sorry? Who's in charge here?" He asked rhetorically, popping the button open and unzipping my shorts.

"Matt! Someone's here for you!" We heard someone yell from downstairs.

"You have to go answer the door." I said, praying to God he wouldn't rape me again.

"We can make it a quicky." He mumbled and started kissing me again as he ran my shorts off and threw them to the side.

"It's Cameron!" I tensed up right away when I heard that. He's here? Is he here to save me?

"Shit..." Matt mumbled. "I'll be back. Stay here and don't move." I nodded hesitantly and Matt got off me and walked out the room. I decided to look around the room a bit because I didn't think Matt would be back in a while.

There was a full body mirror and I saw multiple bruises on my stomach, waist, and face. I gasped slightly noticing them.

I heard loud footsteps come up the stairs and in a second the door was flung open. "What did he do to you?" Cameron said breathless.

"Cameron!" I said, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I ran over to him and hugged him as hard as I could. He picked me up and turned around in a circle as I hugged him then let me back down.

"Alexa, we have to go. Right now." Cameron said seriously.

"Okay but my clothes..." I trailed off.

"It's fine youre in a swimsuit." He said. Looking me up and down. "I need to get you out of here before he gives you more bruises." He grabbed my hand and we started running down the stairs as fast as we could. Cameron flung the door open and we were just about to get out when I was pulled back by my waist.

It was so sudden I was surprised and didn't react fast enough to keep holding Cameron's hand. Matthew had me pressed up against him, chest to chest, and he held me with one of his arms while in the other one he was holding something up to Cameron but I couldn't see because I couldn't turn my head that far.

I started pushing on Matthews shoulders to make him let me go but I guess he got frustrated because he said, "stop making a scene or I'll make your punishment worse. jack come in here!"
He shouted after whispering in my ear.

The tall jack came in the room and Matt literally pushed me away from him and into jacks arms. He held me with my back up against his chest and I could hear him gulp in nervousness. I looked over and saw Matt had a gun pointed at Cameron.

"Leave. Before I shoot you." Matt threatened. I gasped and I felt tears welling in my eyes watching the scene play out.

"Okay. Okay, I'll leave. But if you hurt her any more I swear to god I will come back and hurt you in ways you don't want to know." He turned and before he left he mouthed, 'I'll be back. I promise.' To me before he closed the door.

I heard the click of the safety turn on for the gun and Matt set it down on a table. "Put her upstairs and tie her to the bed. She needs to know what happens when she tries to escape." I gulped, not wanting to be raped.

"Don't you think this is a bit overboard, man?" Jack defended me.

"Did I ask you, gilinsky? No, I didn't. She's mine I can do what I want with her so go do that."

Gilinsky. Why does that name seem so familiar?
