Pet…
My soul shivered. My soul quaked and doom filled me. When Pa told me the other week that he’d put me in a cage if I disobeyed him this was what I imagined. Or where they kept dogs at the pound.
“Not talking?” he cajoled.
“Please let me go. Please…” I resulted to begging.
He came over and got to his knees meeting my level and holding on to the rails of the cage.
The way he looked at me, his coal like eyes lightening with desire I almost thought he was going to actually turn into a monster.
“Say that again pet.”
“Please let me go. You don’t have to do this.”
When he closed his eyes and seemed to relish my words I realized he got off on the begging.
“I could listen to you beg all day. Miss Jia.” He opened his eyes and his stare hardened up.
My throat went dry when he stood up, opened the cage door and came inside.
I backed away on my hands. I didn’t want him to touch me. I didn’t want him to come near me.
There was a limit though, a limit to what I could do. My back reached it when I came up against the cage wall. The rails stopped me from going further.
He knelt down and crawled to me, right up to me and hovered over me, resting his hands either side of me.
“You fascinate me Jia Marchesi. You’ll definitely make a good toy. So glad you tried to escape. It gave me the idea to bring you up to my room. I hope you last longer than the last girl, and you’re not a screamer. No one but me will hear you.” He brought his hand to my cheek and moved close to my lips.
I almost died when he pressed his lips to mine.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as he kissed me and I started to shake.
He laughed at me and moved away again settling back on his hands.
“Sweet like honey,” he stated moving back. “I can’t wait to taste the rest of you.Later.
“Please no. I don’t want to. Please.” It was instinct to plead and continue to try even when there was no hope.
“You will Jia. You will want to. Trust me if I think anything other than that you’ll die quicker.” There was something maddening in his stare that reached out to me and terrified me more.
Uncontrollable tears spilled down my cheeks and all he did was laugh.
