SEVENTEEN
Dark & Stormy Night
The only thing my little stunt did was complicate matters more. Unfortunately, my feelings haven't changed. I could run away to the furthest parts of the world and I'd still want them.

Pullinginto the parking lot of my dorm, I discard my sandals and run towards my tiny apartment on the other side of the complex. I've fallen more than once running in the rain with shoes on. I don't have time to fall down right now, because Kai's coming.
He won't take me running away from him lightly, there will be some sort of retaliation. One thing about my stepbrothers is that they never lose.
The cold rain beats a steady rhythm on top of my head, it would be calming if I wasn't already so tense. I face forward, because I'm too scared to find out what might be lurking in the shadows.
Disobedience is new territory for me, but it felt good to put Kai in his place tonight. I hope it was worth it. My stepbrother's have to learn that it's time for them to loosen up their grip on me. I’ve been giving them warnings for weeks. It’s not my fault they didn’t believe me.
My lungs seize with the need for more oxygen, but I won't stop running until I'm behind the safety of my front door. I can't hide out forever but beating Kai inside is the only way to delay the confrontation that's coming. Thankfully, Gunner won't leave work so I won't have to deal with a shit lecture from him until tomorrow.
I hate cardio with my whole soul, and running is my least favorite of all exercises. I had to park a mile away, and there isn't an easy route to my apartment. One way is uphill and the other is scary dark this time of night.
Normally, I'd never choose to go that way, but due to the ache in my side, taking the shortcut through the scarier side is best for me. I'm so close to my place I can almost taste it.
My phone in my purse vibrates for the fifteenth time, and I know I'm making a bigger mistake by not answering it. However, I've always heard cowards live longer, so that's what I'll be for now.
Rounding the last corner before my apartment comes into view, someone grabs me from behind, and pulls me up against them. A masculine hand lays across my belly. I'm encased in shock, until my scream finally breaks through the surface.
I fight, scratch, and kick the man with every fiber of my being, but his steel caged grip never wavers. My tears fall as tremors of fright wreck me to my core.
Gunner and Kai can't save me, I'm all alone tonight. For all I know Kai has given up on me, and didn't follow me here. Hewouldn't take this route to my apartment anyway. There is no one to save me.
Lightning flashes, and a scream so loud it hurts my own ears is ripped from my body. A second assailant stands a couple of feet in front of me.
He's wearing a Jason mask, but it can't be Kai. This mask is older, dirtier, and stained with what looks like blood.
"NO!! Please!!" I beg.
Throwing back his head the man unleashes a savage laugh into the wind. I sob, because there's not anything else I can do.
But I have to try....I can't lay down and not fight.
Reaching behind me, I pull out a handful of my captive’s hair. His only response is to rub his ironclad erection between the cheeks of my ass. I stomp on his foot, and leave angry claw marks up and down his forearm, but nothing works.
The harder I fight the larger his erection grows, he leans down and nibbles on my ear, and no matter how hard I try to resist, a whimper escapes my lips.
Just the feel of him makes my nipples pucker, they’re begging to be touched. His hand is so close to my breast. Would he want me if I begged him to take me now? I don't understand my response, and it scares the hell out of me. How can I be this turned on by a stranger?
I don't move, in fear that he'll stop trying to seduce me. My pussy is weeping for these men, which is just another reason why I believe something is truly wrong with me.
The man in front of me looks on with excitement. I can't see his face, but if the way he's grabbing his cock through his pants is any indication he's enjoying the view.
Only after he gives the man holding me permission does he let me go. Falling on my knees, I sob into the ground, because I don'tknow what their endgame is. My body shivers from the lack of his warmth. It's like the summer sun has given way to the bitter cold of winter.
I flinch as strong arms pick me up, and carry me the rest of the way to my door. "It's okay, Princess. I'm here, no one's going to hurt you."
As Kai's deep voice envelops me, I relax for the first time since the beach parking lot. My throat aches from screaming, but not even that can stop the desperation in my voice. "Kai, there's two men, we need to call 911."
I wrap my arms even tighter around his neck as he nuzzles my hair. "I'll kill anyone who tries to take you away from me, Pres, you can't do what you did to us tonight again."
The hair stands up on the back of my neck at his words. He's not joking, he would kill anyone that stood in his way to get to me. It takes me a minute to gather my thoughts.
