Escort (Manxman) (On Hold)

Chapter 12

He would've screamed louder if I'd let him, but right before I snapped Tyler's thumb to make it possible to maneuver his hand from the cuff, I covered his mouth with my free one.

His eyes clenched shut and the terrible sound of his pained agonising muffled scream shook a shockwave through me i never wanted to experience again. His eyes overflowing with tears as he quietly sobbed into my palm, his hand now pulled from the loop. I didn't waste any time, snapping his thumb right back into place.

Twice was just as bad as once. His body curled into mine with a muffled cry, hiding into my chest and holding his pained wrist. But he couldn't stay like this, he could'nt feel safe here.

"Tyler, we have to go, you need to get up. Can you walk?" I ask, pulling him back from me. His body weight is all  leaned right onto mine as I try to make him lift his head and look at me.

"Hey, Tyler...please, we need to get you out of here before he comes back" I whisper, stroking my fingers on his damp, bruised cheek.
That bastard had the audacity to touch Tyler, my Tyler.

It makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Tyler tries to get up from the bed with my help and stumbles a bit,making it more than obvious he was not used to walking in several days at least. I can see he's completely naked and have him step into my pants, I don't care if all I have to wear is a white dress shirt and green lingerie.

I try not to examine him as he dressed quickly with my help, but it was hard not to miss the bruises along his thighs. The weird thing was, Tyler didn't look like he wasn't being fed. Completely the opposite, Tyler looked like he had gained a little weight.

Confused, I tried not to think about the reasoning. He was being fed well and hadn't been mawled to death by the crazed psychopath yet. I was missing something important about this.

Tyler tugged on my sleeve snapping me out of the line of thought, looking up at me with those sad frightened blue eyes I didn't think I'd ever get to see again. I took his uninjured hand and lead him quickly out the back to the stream, knowing nobody would see from this side of the house or guest house. Hurrying as fast as I could, we made our way, tip toeing across the floral area on the outskirts.

"If anyone sees you, look confident and pretend to talk to someone on this" i whispered, handing him my phone and holding his face gently so I could gaze at him "act like you're supposed to be there, like you know where your going and have a job to do. Use the word 'Dominic' that's his name" my poor sweetheart looked terrified with his wide bruised up eyes locked onto mine in shock. He's just lucky shock is his only monster right now.

"You can do this" i whispered.

"Okay.." he nodded swallowing and looking down, surprising me. I didn't think he would respond so fast.
"..okay I can ..I can do this" he said taking a breath and lowering his shoulders. My pants and suit jacket were a little big for Tyler, but under any other circumstance I'd of said it was fucking gorgeous on him.

Focus ...

His sad and frightened eyes met mine and I smiled looking up at him from my kneeling place on the grassy floor in front of him, helping him fix the shoes on better.

"Okay honey, this is really important okay? I need you to hit me now"

Tyler's eyes widened and his eyebrows furrowed while shaking his head "no! Why!? What? Why do you want me to hit you!?"
I took his hands in mine and held them "when Dominic gets back hes going to wonder how you got away and why I didn't stop you. You need to hit me and make it look like I tried to stop you from escaping" Tyler's eyes searched mine for any other ideas. There simply had to be something else. Something more reasonable.

But I had to be here when Dominic came back, or this wouldn't work. He'd be after me in a heartbeat and I've got nowhere to hide.

"Do it, honey. It's alright, I can handle it" I said, smiling up at him in my white thin buttoned up shirt. The laced emerald green panties hidden by the cut.
It wasn't the right to to be calling him honey of course, but it came out as naturally for me as breathing in air. I couldnt help the hyping of my affection for Tyler any more than I could escape Timeless. It felt... inevitable. Like we were made for each other....like someone wanted us to know each other and put us in the pathway of the other. Nothing could change the fact, nothing either of us did.

Not that I wanted to change it.

Tyler took in a shaky breath and scrunched his eyes shut, retracting his good hand into a fist and swung it hard at my face. The punch knocked me clean back onto the bushes beside me and I cupped my lip, busted from my tooth smashing into it. He was a good hit, it was pretty impressive. Poor guy, He looked really sorry for it too.

"Good job" I grunted and winced, rolling onto my side and getting up, taking his hand and dragging him quickly with me and out the back. Just as i reached the garden side gate with Tyler, his arms wrapped around mine and holding onto my hand for comfort, I heard a car door close in the front.

Dominic was home.
