"NOOO!" She screamed, punching his back but to no avail. She barely registered where he was taking her before she found herself in an unfamiliar room and then all the breath was knocked out of her system when he tossed her on the bed as if she was a mere thing.

"I d...don't want this," She said shakily and he clenched his jaw.
