DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function. This story is dark and twisted in a way that my teen mind couldn't comprehend at the time. There are more than a few scenes in this book with sensitive content. I--in no way--support rape culture and I do not condone my character's actions. However, as I said, this story was written in an ignorant state of mind. I will not remove this story from Wattpad. It is part of my past and though I am disappointed with the content, it shows how far I've come not just as an author but as a free-thinking adult. Thank you for reading. **Excerpt** "Say... it," She gasped, throwing her head back, cupping my face in her hands so that I was forced to meet her gaze. "You're mine." She held my gaze for a second more, before crushing her lips against my own, arms wrapping tight around my neck, pulling me down to her level. Arms sliding easily around her, she wrapped her legs around me as I lifted her up, lips traveling over her chest and collarbone. She moaned as my hands dug into her tender flesh, pulling on it, their violence a stark contrast to the gentle kisses teasing their way up her neck. Bright lines marked the paths that my nails had etched into her skin, marking her, beautiful red tattoos, spreading out over her entire body. Her small hands knotted in my hair, pulling harder and harder as she fought the urge to cry out...

"And rule number three, knock before you enter my room," I finished, moving my fore finger down with the instruction. His smirk widened as he leaned on my door frame. "What happens if I don't follow your petty little rules?" he asked. I narrowed my eyes. "You'll sincerely regret it," I warned but he merely grinned. "I take that as a challenge."

Ten more steps. Ten more fricking steps until I was out of his reach. Ten more steps and I would have been safe. I was only TEN steps away from the safety of the car when he grabbed me by the ankle and dragged me, kicking and screaming, around the corner to where his foul putrid dirty van was lurking in the shadows, along with his band of equally disgusting, and I'm sure, mentally deranged brothers waited to tie me up, an do things that I would much rather never remember. Worst of all. I was only 10 years old. 10 fricking years old! I can still hear the sound of my mother screaming desperately for her husband, in my head, her husband, my father, the one who held down my body as his brothers, and my two uncles assaulted me. The image, although my eyes were blurred with tears, still burned in my mind. A constant reminder never to trust anyone again. I would very much like to say that the police got there just in time and saved the day. I would love to tell you that, in a very fortunate series of events, I managed to escape my fathers vice like grip, and did not go through things a ten year old little girl, should NEVER, ever, have to go through in her life. And I would like to tell you that my mother intervened and prevented me from a life of trauma and heartache. But If I did, I would be lying.
