TW: Mentions of Sexual Assault

"W-what are you doing?" I asked, my voice trembling.

I could barely focus on speaking to Noah, due to how tight his grip was getting. In an instant, Noah had positioned my head again in order from him to whisper directly into my ear.

"What I should have done a while ago, darling." He said with a devious smirk on his face.

"What do you mean?"

Tears threatened to escape as his face inched closer to my neck. His hot breath against my skin sent shivers down my spine. A small shriek escaped my lips as he bit down hard.

I struggled against his advances but it was useless. With both wrists now in his hand, he kept me in place.

"Noah, p-please." I begged to no avail.

Instead he moved his other hand to my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Please? Please, what?"

Each second felt like a many hours as he wait for some response but I was completely silent.

"I'm not a monster, Ana-Lia. But you, you make me do this. You drive me absolutely insane." He said, taking breaks to kiss and nip on my neck.

Noah attempted to kiss my lips but I pulled away. Admittedly, this was a grave mistake. As seconds later I felt an intense impact against my face. My cheek began to sting, pulse and burn following the slap. I looked up, his raged fuelled eyes meeting my fearful ones.

"So, what? I can't even get the bare minimum?" Noah said with venom in his voice.

He took one of my wrists into his one hand and my waist into another, pulling me close as practically bit into my chest and neck. As I struggled against his grasp, he applied more pressure against me.

I gasped in pain which gave him the opportunity to get what he wanted. This kiss didn't feel like the others we shared. As our lips met, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust and discomfort.

The kiss was wet and sloppy, with his tongue darting in and out of my mouth without warning. His breath was stale and heavy. The sensation was suffocating. I struggled to breathe as he pressed his lips harder against mine.

I felt completely powerless, trapped in the moment as he continued to force himself on me. It was a horrible kiss, one that left me feeling dirty and violated, and I couldn't wait for it to be over.

After what felt like an eternity he finally pulled away. As I gazed into Noah's eyes, I was struck by a sudden realization that the person I thought I knew was completely different from the one standing before me. I had known him for years. I thought I had seen every facet of his personality. But looking at him now, I saw a new side of him that I had never noticed before. His eyes were so cold and distant, devoid of the warmth and compassion I had always associated with him. I could see a flicker of anger and resentment. As if a veil had been lifted, and I was seeing Noah for the first time.

I was both fascinated and terrified, completely unsure of what to make of this new revelation. I wondered what else I missed.

What other secrets has he been keeping from me all this time?
