Page 51 of Pushed Through The Dark
In one quick swoop, he threw me to the floor, and stood over me, opening and closing his fists at his side.
Rubbing my neck, I coughed loudly as my lungs eagerly sucked in as much air as they could. Looking up, Knox started to undo his belt. Driving my hands into the floor, I pushed myself back, trying to get to my feet.
This couldn't happen. Not again. I won't let it. I've been there before, taken against my will, forced to do things I never wanted to do. I'd rather die.
Scrambling backward, his mouth curls up as he looked down at me like I was a mouse, and he was a cat who just cornered his next meal. There was nothing in his eyes but complete blackness, and as his sick smile emerged bolder and brighter, my heart stopped in my chest.
I can see Knox. . . I can see who truly lives inside him.
The vile creature before me wasn't a man at all. He was destruction. He was fire brimming with the desire to tear me to pieces.
The sound of metal teeth hit the air as he pulled his zipper down. Knox's shadow covered my entire body as my shoulders hit a shelf, causing a few trinkets to fall to the floor. Ceramic pieces shattered around me, but he didn't even blink. Not a shred of concern for the broken debris around me.
Lurching forward, he snagged my ankle, pulling me back towards the middle of the room. "You're not going anywhere." He dropped to his knees and started to pull open his pants.
"Stop! No!"
"Scream all you want, it won't make a difference."
"What about Koa?" I asked. I was trying to make him think. Hoping he would realize that what he was doing was wrong.
"Fuck my brother."
"He wouldn't allow this, would he? That's why you're here alone because you know he wouldn't let you do this."
"Shut up!" he yells, slapping me hard across the face. "My brother thinks he's the one in charge. He thinks he has the last say on everything. But this, this is for me. I'm going to fuck you till you bleed." He grabbed my pants, ripping them down the middle, leaving me completely exposed.
"Don't do this." I needed him to see me as a person, not an object. "Please, once you do this, you can't take it back. It'll change you."
"I told you to shut the fuck up!" Hitting me again, my face snapped to the side.
The taste of metal hit me instantly as I licked my lips. "I belong to your brother, not to you."
"Right now, you're mine," he growled as he grabbed my legs at my knees, forcing them open with a hard push.
I could feel myself retreating to that place, to the darkness inside me, just like I used to at the Canary. It was all I had left to protect myself from the barbaric waste of human life hovering over me.
He laid on my chest, and his breath crept across my cheek. The hair on my neck stood up, and my body began to tremble. There was nothing I could do. Every muscle memory was taking over, driving me deeper and deeper into my mind.
Closing my eyes tight, I felt him pressing against me as he shifted his hips. Holding my breath, my body tensed, waiting for him to force himself inside.
A single tear escaped, causing Knox to laugh. "Don't cry, whore, it won't save you."
Sucking in a gulp of air, I bit my lip, trying not to make a sound. I didn't want to give him anything. Nothing. Not a sound, not a tear, not a fucking thing.
He deserved nothing.
Suddenly, his weight was off me. There was nothing there anymore. My chest was free to breathe, my body was able to move.
"Get the fuck off her!"
Opening my eyes, Koa had Knox by the collar as he threw him across the room.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He grabbed him by the throat, pulling him in close to his face. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" he snarled as spit flew from his mouth onto his brother's face.
"Get the fuck off me, man!" Knox tried to push him away, but he couldn't.
Koa held his arms, and pushed him back towards the door, with rage in his eyes. "I want you out. Get the fuck out of my house."
