Chapter Thirteen

Kayla's head throbbed, she frowned.  She was bound in an upright position with her arms and legs spread apart. She tried pulling against the restraints but there was no give. The more she pulled the tighter the knots got.  She tilted her head to look at the bindings and realized it was useless.

Tears welled in her eyes as she remembered what she'd seen at Gabby's Oasis.  Ebony was laying in Jacob's arms nearly dead.  Her body had been so pale and still.  Lucas just walked out of the dark room telling Jacob not to kill her; he hadn't tried to help her.  Jacob and Lucas, they were both monsters.  She'd naively thought they were her, and Ebony’s friends, Now she'd gotten not only herself but also Ebony into a situation that would probably kill them.  She heard a noise and turned to see where it came from.

Her eyes widened when Lucas walked over. She watched while he stared at her clothed body stretched against the padded X.  When she’d been unconscious he'd bound her arms and legs to the black structure.  “This is called St. Andrew's cross, a torture device,” he said and stepped toward her struggling frame. “Uh uh uh.  I can’t very well let you hurt yourself now can I?”

Lucas grabbed Kayla's hair.  She met his eyes while he stared down coldly at her. “I’m going to get you out of my system. It’s either that or you’ll die from me trying.”

Gasping in pain tears formed in her brown eyes as they clashed with a monster's. Chilling ice blue eyes stared at her from a mask so handsome she'd compared it to the god Adonis. Kayla turned her head away from those piercing eyes.  She'd dreamed of Lucas every night and had felt guilty, dirty and was tormented about it.  Now she laid naked in front of him, but this was not like her dreams.  In her dreams he'd made sweet, passionate love to her, she'd never been tied down or hurt. Tears slid from her eyes as she realized that this was no sweet dream but a horrible nightmare that she prayed she could wake up from.

"Don't touch me!" shrieked Kayla scared out of her mind.

Lucas smirked down at her then pulled harder, forcing her head painfully backbefore asking sardonically, "What are you going to do if I touch you?"  Before she could answer his lips descended on hers with crushing brutality.

Kayla thought her head would be ripped from her neck.  She could taste blood as her teeth ground into her lips from the pressure of his mouth.

Pulling back Lucas released her hair then grabbed her jaw.  His hand used crushing force.  "Open up," growled Lucas.

Kayla would have rather let him break her jaw then open her mouth until she felt the increasing pressure.  She finally gave in and opened her mouth as far as she could with  tears streaming down her face.

Lucas smiled sinisterly as he released the tight hold on her jaw, swooping down he took her mouth.  He kissed her thoroughly.

Kayla considered biting his tongue off but dismissed the thought. While  she didn't want this she also definitely didn't want to be killed by him.  She knew he'd kill her with agonizing slowness. She let him invade her mouth not knowing what to hope for.  

Lucas released her mouth before running his index finger along her dress from the neckline down to her waist. She gasped in horror when the bodice parted as if unzipped.  Her caramel skin and heaving breasts were now on display for him to see.

Oh god of mercy, thought Kayla.  "Please don't," she cried. "I won't tell, I won't say anything."  She begged and pleaded.

"I know you won’t," came his reply as he sank his teeth into her bosom.

Screaming, Kayla started to pull against the bindings, the pain that Lucas's mouth inflicted made it pale in comparison.  She pulled chafing and tearing her skin trying to get away from the torture he was inflicting.  She couldn't voice a thought or a plea as pain coursed through her body with every pull.
