Lexi enjoyed the water pressure of the shower against her sunburnt back. She washed away the stickiness from her hair, chest and shoulders, still amazed by the size of his load.
'And the first squirt hit the ceiling,' she thought.
Her neck stung as she rubbed soap into her broken flesh, but instead of wincing, she smiled. It would leave a good mark, one she could gaze at and be reminded of him, safe in the secret knowledge that he owned her.
Once she was clean, she pulled her dirty clothes back on which felt a tad redundant.
"Can I borrow some underwear?" she asked him.
"Yes, but it won't fit you," he said, frowning as he searched through his drawers for a tighter pair.
He threw a purple pair at her head and watched as she bent to put them on.
"Okay... that look is a lot hotter than I expected," he said.
Sam smiled to himself as he checked his messages. Alfie had reached out to him, asking to talk to him one on one. The tone of the message was polite, almost pleading, so he figured it couldn't hurt. Alfie didn't seem the type to trick him into an ambush and he had to know that pulling anything fishy would only end badly for him in the long run.He told his new group of mates that he'd be back soon and slunk off to meet his nemesis in the empty English room where he'd been hiding out.'You've given away your hiding spot, Alfie,'he thought.'That was probably a mistake.'The corridor leading to the English block billowed with a delicate breeze as all the doors and windows were wedged open, but inside the room, the air was stuffy and stale. He adjusted his tie and collar, finding it hard to breathe in the stagnant heatwave, and sat on one of the tables."What do you wa
By the time Lexi reached the park she'd worked herself up to the point where she felt physically sick.Would this guy really call the police? And what did he want from her? Would he blackmail her for money? Sex?These questions swirled around in her brain unanswered until they left her dizzy and worn, tired of trying to understand the motives of the creepy teenager. The heat wasn't helping the situation either. Peaking at over thirty degrees, it had been the hottest day of the summer so far, and they were only partway through the month of May.Lexi stuck to the shade provided by the row of trees. Little flecks of pink and white blossom were just beginning to fall, gathering in the cracks of the uneven paving stones that led up to the grassy field of the park.A couple of mothers braved the play park to the left, armed with sunhats, glasses and coconut-scented sunscreen. She smiled as a little b
Edwards’s house had that 'old people smell' lingering in the air; a mixture of overcooked cabbage and lavender-scented hand soaps. The rust-coloured curtains were pulled shut, presumably to keep out the harsh sun, but the light filtering through gave everything a creepy tint of red.There were two sofa's—both worn, faded, and covered in bobbly throws. He took a seat on the television facing sofa, watching as Lexi dithered for a moment before smoothing her skirt to her bum and sitting next to him.The way he watched her wasn't predatory. His eyes weren't like Jayce's.'He's worse,'she thought with a chill. He made her feel like a bug under a microscope—analysed and catalogued with cold indifference.He touched her neck as he'd done in the park. This time she didn't bat his hand away like it was an irritating mosquito, but she felt every muscle in her body tense and sti
The words knocked the wind out her chest.'His dad never abused him. That means we beat up an innocent man,'Lexi thought.She tried to tell herself there was no way for her to know that at the time, but the excuse was a lame one. Even Dexter checked to make certain his 'victims' had committed the crime he was sentencing them to death for.'We were drunk,'Lexi thought, another subpar attempt to alleviate her guilt.She stared dully, watching as he gathered more flies to add to the gastronomic delight that awaited his poor father. One buzzed in his hand, barely clinging to life before he dumped it in with the others. Its wings twitched for a second before the motion caused the broth to swallow it up like quicksand."Why?" she whispered.He glanced at her. "Why did I lie?""Yes, that... and why are you doi
The look on his sister’s face when he asked about Jayce's sadistic tendencies confirmed it for Sam. The two of them were a couple. His suspicions had started when Lexi had jokingly told him deepthroating a toothbrush was her 'homework.' She'd been making a private joke with herself, blissfully unaware that Jayce had also given him the 'homework' task of smoking cigarettes.Thinking about cigarettes made him crave one. He'd gone from hating them to needing one every few hours in the space of a week or so."I'm nipping to the shop," he announced to his family. "Anybody want anything?""Sugar please," Mum asked with a sweet smile as Lexi shook her head.He tried not to picture his sister sucking his mate's dick as he walked to town.'I wonder why they are keeping it a secret?' he thought. 'Is it because of me?'The more he tho
Lexi took her make-up brush and applied a thick layer of foundation over her concealer. The greenish hue was still visible but shouldn't be obvious to anyone who didn't know to look for it. It had been a couple of days and Edward hadn't contacted her. Her hope was he'd done with her. Moved on to tormenting some other poor soul. It wasn't likely, but stranger things had happened. 'I can dream.'Lexi sighed. Since it was another scorching hot day, Lexi selected one of her skimpier outfits—a short playsuit with no back. She'd yet to find an excuse to wear it, despite loving it when she'd found it on sale at her favourite store. After tottering down the stairs in her heels she almost fell as Sam stepped out of the living room at the most unfortunate moment. "Sorry," he muttered before looking her up and down. "What are you so dressed up for?"
“Lexi?” Jenna asked. She was vaguely aware her friend had been talking but couldn’t tell you what about. Everything washed away—no sound, sight or smell penetrated, other than the ugly words on her screen and the buzzing in her brain. “Lex?”Jenna called a couple of times more before she finally stumbled from the stall.In the bathroom, she met Jenna's concerned eyes."What's happened? What's wrong?" Jenna asked."I—I can't do this," Lexi mumbled to herself. She shook her head, backed back into the cubicle, and sat on the toilet seat.She felt a hand on her knee and looked up to see Jenna's wide eyes, full of questions.After a long and shaky sigh, Lexi explained the situation to her friend. The girls face morphed from concerned to shocked as the story continued."Oh, sweet
Sitting on the wall opposite the corner shop, Sam kicked his heels against the brickwork in quiet rhythm as he enjoyed his second cigarette of the morning.He was making so many ‘spur of the moment’ trips to the shop that Mum had started to get suspicious. This was the reason he'd re-taken up skateboarding, just to use as an excuse to leave the house.'A pretty clever ruse if I do say so myself,'he thought with a smile.He was still smiling when Angelica and Kaycie turned the corner. Angelica favoured him with a dirty look and spun her face away so fast her stupid ponytail almost whipped her friend across the face. Kaycie glanced up at him, made a face he couldn't read and looked down.Kayley's words replayed in his brain—'That girl fancies you.'He took the last drag of his cigarette while the girls were inside the shop and flicked th
Lexi followed Jayce into his room and watched as he pulled the computer chair from its spot beneath the desk. Its wheels got stuck on the threadbare carpet, dragging uselessly as he pulled the thing along. "Sit," he demanded, placing his hands over the top of the backrest. "Erm," Lexi uttered and frowned as she turned away from him to lower her bum into the seat. The scene felt too familiar for her liking. What exactly was he playing at? "You like this, right?" he asked, a sneer in his voice. "Did you like it when Edward tied you up?" "What?" Lexi gasped. "Of course I didn't! I only want to do this stuff with you." "Or my brother, huh?" he asked. "What? No," Lexi protested. "Why are you saying this? What's happened?" Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the ripping of tape. As he wrapped the tape arou
Lexi felt a ripple of anger surge through her, but as she looked down at her hands, seeing the chocolate sauce smeared across her knuckle, her brain reverted to its earlier mindset.'I am me... take me or leave me.'As her mood settled, she was able to see Aaron for what he was. Not powerful. Not fearsome.'You need to wield power over me to feel big,'she thought.'And you never even realised I was the one with the power. I allowed it to happen. I enjoyed it.'Lexi took a deep breath.'Well, not anymore.'His face, a twisted sneer of lips curled in expectance, waiting for her to plead with him, suddenly wasn't gorgeous. It was laughable.Turning on her heels, she left him, mouth slightly agape, and walked into the living room. She didn't stop when she reached the coffee tabl
Lexi dropped the cake into the tin as carefully as she could but still managed to get gooey chocolate fudge topping on her fingers.'Hmm.'She considered washing it off for just a second before licking and sucking at each of her fingers in turn."Tramp," Sam commented as he passed her.Lexi glanced up at him, smirked and shrugged. Life was too short to worry about what people thought of her.'I'm me,'she thought.'Take me or leave me.'As this thought passed through her brain, she felt a dip in her stomach. The fact Aaron had rejected her still hurt, even though everything had turned out for the best and she was happier with Jayce. He made her feel safe. Even when she'd been in the most dire of situations, his arrival had put her at ease. His swagger and confidence—over confidence some might say—had a magical way of rea
"Who told you?" Edward shouted, making Lexi jump. "Who told you?""W—who... wh—"Edward stumbled forward, coughed up a few bubbles of red froth and fell to the floor with a thud.Lexi's eyes shot up to meet Sam's. He stood where Edward had been, a pair of red-stained scissors in his right hand.His eyes were glazed, but as the mist cleared, he shook his head and threw the weapon to the ground.The faint sound of a helicopter grew louder and louder until it made Lexi wince and squint.'The police helicopter?' she thought. It could often be seen or heard patrolling the area, but she had never seen it close up. The only time she'd heard of it landing in a field like this was when her cousin's little boy had started having a seizure. Her mind drifted off on a dreamlike tangent, trying to remember what had happened with little Tyle
As they awaited Jayce's arrival all Lexi could think about was the fact she was soaked in her own urine.'I stink of pee,'she panicked.'I can't let him see me like this. He must already hate me.'She looked over at Sam, who was being oddly quiet. Usually, you couldn't shut him up. He would be making inappropriate jokes or sarcastic remarks or something...'He must be terrified.'A fierce sound erupted from her belly, making Edward laugh. "Aww, are you hungry?"He took a chocolate bar from his pocket, unwrapped it and took a giant bite, all without breaking eye contact."You sadistic little prick!" she shouted, though it came out an inaudible growl.The sight and smell of food made her hunger grow to the point her stomach felt like it had a gaping hole inside. When she heard the footsteps outsid
Lexi wiggled, trying her best to jerk her body left and right. She figured if she kept this up, she might manage to loosen the bindings.It took her nearly an hour to give in from exhaustion. Even with the excessive amount of sweat dripping from her body, the tape wasn't giving an inch. He'd wrapped too much and too tightly.'Damn you, Edward,'she thought.'Why are you doing this to me?'Being restrained had been one of Lexi's turn-ons. Something that made her hot and wet. But this... this was torture. Not being able to move for hours on end while sweaty, too hot, scared, and desperate... well, there was nothing sexy about it.She hated it. The situation. The horrible gag pressing down on her tongue and making her salivate. The pressure in her bladder. It was unlikely he would return to let her use the bathroom.'I'm going to pee myself,'
"Have you heard from your sister?" Mum asked as Sam passed through the kitchen. She looked up from the dishes, dried her hands and checked her phone. "I can't seem to get hold of her.""No." Sam shook his head. "She's probably with her uni mates and her phone died. You know what she's like."Mum nodded, but there was a look in her eye—the troubled glint of a mother who sensed her child might be in danger.He would have talked to her. Calmed her down. But he had an important date and there just wasn't time. Kayley had messaged, asking to meet him for a milkshake, and while he'd known she would contact him for another 'date,' he was still nervous to go.As he left the house, Sam checked his pockets, making sure he had everything he might need. This was more than just a habit, he had to make sure he had everything he might need.Little bubbles of anxiety forming in the pit of
As Lexi woke up, for the first few seconds her brain was protected in a haze of amnesia, blissfully unaware of yesterday’s events.She felt the soreness of tears around her eyes a few horrible seconds before her memory updated itself.The first thing she did was check her phone.Nothing.'So weird,'she thought. Surely he would have something to say on the matter of being dumped and in such a cruel and cowardly manner. He'd be pissed if nothing else.Then a thought occurred. Maybe Jenna hadn't gone through with it.She decided to message her to make sure, and her friend was quick to reply, telling her both that she had let him down as gently as possible and letting her know her phone was working.She considered messaging Jayce but ultimately decided against it. Instead, she sent a text to Edward.
