A Year and 365 Days

Chapter 10

The feeling of his crushing weight against my rib cage gave me only short breaths of air. Damien had forced me from being face first onto the bed to facing him now. The situation had began from me resisting him. I was a cop, and I knew it wasn't what I wanted. My back was on the bed with my legs hanging off the edge. Damien had one of my legs between both of his while he pressed hickeys onto my neck, going lower as the v neck of the dress exposed more of my chest.

I wished I was anywhere but here. Is this what I'm supposed to be, some object to be used whenever ? I feared what would come next.

"Get off me!" I said with anger in my voice

My hands pushed on Damien's chest. He took his hands and entwined them with mine holding them down, one hand on each side of me. Here I was being used as an object, a man that had forced himself on me, waiting for me to break and make his mark. Damien continued to leave the forming bruises.

My hands were held down as I was in incapable of using them as defense. I realized one of my legs wasn't being held against Damien. Using my strength to lift my free leg that wasn't being held by Damien, I kneed him in the waist where he rolled off me holding the area I had left the blow.

"God dammit!" He huffed

Getting off the bed, I kicked him where it hurt making him fall to the floor. Running to the vacant bedroom in the next room, I locked it behind me making sure there was no access to it. I took the vanity chair and placed it in under the doorknob. Even if I made a run for it out the front door, Alex would have caught me.

Feeling disgusted with myself, I walked into the master bathroom. I took the dress off along with the heels. The white towel wrapped around my chest slightly revealed some of the hickeys. Standing in front of the mirror after nearly two days of being awake, I washed off the make up, took out my green contacts, and stared at the face I hadn't seen in a while. Underneath the mask, I hadn't noticed the dark circles underneath my brown eyes. Looking down at my reddened wrists, I remembered the little girl's questioning towards her mother on the plane.

"Mommy, why does that woman have cuts on her wrists??"

My thoughts could only spit out battle scars. Battle scars left by the cuffs that I'd put on suspects. Hearing small talk from Damien and Alex, even being two rooms over, I heard their conversation.

"She kicked your ass!" Alex said laughing off
"Shut up, just wanted her to know what's coming for her. She doesn't know yet, but she'll find out."

"Just make sure she doesn't kick your ass again." Alex chuckled
"Well make sure she doesn't kick yours either when it's your turn." Damien responded

I looked back at myself in the mirror. The light had been lost in the darkness, my eyes were empty, searching for a way out. Dropping the towel to the floor, I stepped into the cold water of the running shower. The rough scrubbing I gave my body left redness to my chest. The germs of Damien washed off but not the memories. After the shower I took, I made my way to the queen sized bed, having changed into complimentary pajamas provided by the hotel. A final check on the door barricaded with a chair and deadbolt humbled me for four hours of sleep.

Banging on the door woke me up.

"Wake up sleepy head, or I'll open this door myself."
"Alright" I said quickly avoiding another encounter
"Make sure to change into that sexy piece." Alex said

I cringed at the words he mentioned. My legs moved me to the bathroom where the dress hanged on the back of the door. Changing back into the dress and heels I looked at myself in the mirror again. I tried my best to cover the hickeys on my chest as well as the scarring redness on my wrists from the cuffs. I placed my green contacts under the sink water to sanitize them as much as possible, then I put them on blinking out the watery drops from my eyes. The transformation to the unrecognizable Olivia reoccurred. I took the chair away from the door stepping out to the living room where Damien and Alex sat at the island in the kitchen.

"We're making our way to the train station, go downstairs with Alex and I'll be down in a bit." Damien said
"Shall we?" Alex asked as he out his arm out as if to escort me

Not having any choice in the matter I place my arm around his while he grinned. We walked out the door and down the hallway. Alex made small talk with me when we got into the elevator.

"How was your time with Damien?" Alex asked suddenly cornering me in the elevator with his arms of the wall on each side of me while I was in between

My head moved away from him when the elevator doors opened. We returned to our arm in arm state. We walked through the lobby being stared at by passing people. Alex was fairly handsome as well was Damien but their demeanors were hidden by their faces.

The doorman held the entrance for us then leading us to our town car. Alex sat next to me in the backseat. He put his hand on my exposed thigh. Five minutes of sitting there with him staring out the window, Damien finally entered the car. The car lurched forward and within ten minutes we were at the station. It eventually pulled up to a private gate making its way through where other look a like cars pulled up to occupied train tracks where an old time train pumped steam. Escorted out of the car by a butler like man near the train, Damien took my hand and helped me up the steps to first class seats. Damien, Alex, and found our assigned seats near one another.

"Alex, get the woman a drink."
"Alright, let's go beautiful." Alex grinned taking my arm and forcibly taking me with him
We walked through separate cars until we got to the food car where an old time oak bar with classic bartenders wearing vests who tended to customers.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked
"Just some white wine for the lady please." Alex responded squeezing my arm a bit

The wine was given to me and I took a sip trying to look cheerful even though it wasn't a choice. We made our way back to our seats where my seat was located next to Damien. He kissed my cheek. Flash backs went through my mind as my mind found me back with Damien on top of me kissing me. The train started moving forwards as the conductor began checking tickets. I was on my way to Croatia.
