Her devotion may be her undoing.

She Hides Behind a Smile
Natalie opened her mouth to scream for her father, but Edward tightened the belt even more. He smirked widely at her, and pushed her over the bed. She started sobbing silently, choking and gasping again. She hung her head, and then he untightened the belt. He just grabbed her turn panties instead, and shoved them into her mouth. He took the belt from around her neck and undid his pants, letting his member out from his boxers. He then leaned over her, breathing lightly into her right ear, and spoke in a deep and lustful tone. "Scream, or tell anyone, and I'll make sure that you can never walk again. Understood, you little sl*t?" He whispered into her ear. **Just a note. This can get very descriptive and highly offensive. There is rape, abuse, and mentions of suicide in the story. So please, if you are a sensitive person, Don't Read The Damn Thing.**Complete
