He turns me toward him, his disgusting cock pushing against my stomach.
“I hired new men. I have faith they will be able to handle Caspian. You should have said your goodbyes.”
Dante’s cocky as he says his words, but he’s never been more wrong. He doesn’t know how Caspian feels. He doesn’t realize Caspian needs his revenge for killing his wife.
I struggle against the rope tying my arms together as Dante smirks, his slimy hands groping my body.
Please hurry back, Caspian.
No, I need to find a way out of this. I can.
“You’re nothing but a coward. You always have been. I’m surprised you don’t have four men in here holding me down like before. You can’t even rape me like a man.”
Dante’s eyes are searing into mine. “You want a fair fight?”
“Yes.”
His grin widens. “Then, let’s fight.”
He pulls out his knife, and I close my eyes afraid he’s going to stab me. Instead, my arms pull free of the rope.
I’m in so much shock I don’t anticipate the kick to my ribs. It knocks me over, and I hit the wall before sliding to the ground.
“It doesn’t matter if you are tied up or not. I’m stronger than you, slave. I will win. I will rape you. And then, I will kill you. Submit now, and I will make sure your death is painless.”
His words drive me, just like before. I want revenge and here is my chance to take it.
I’m stronger than Dante. Not physically, but mentally. I’m a survivor. I’m scrappy. And I know more about his world than he realizes.
He kicks me again, and my body recoils.
Think.
I need a solution. A way out.
I need a weapon. He’s still holding the knife. I won’t be able to snatch it from his hand. But I bet he has a gun.
And there is only one place a guy like him would keep a gun. In the waistband of his pants where he can access it quickly.
Stand, I command myself.
I do.
Dante kicks me again, but I don’t let him knock me down no matter how much pain I’m in. As I stand, he grabs me, forcing my arms down to my sides.
I frown as I try to wiggle out of his grasp. His mouth comes down on mine, slobbering roughly over my mouth.
“You’re mine, bitch. Don’t forget it.”
He tosses me down on the bed and jumps on top of me. I freeze. My mind goes to my happy place with Caspian, as my survival mechanism sets in.
No.
Focus on the gun.
He grabs my shirt and starts ripping it open as his mouth comes down on my body. It takes everything in me to not fight him off. To let his mouth take my nipple in his mouth. I need him close to me and not holding my arms down, so I can reach his gun.
I move my hands slowly, trying not to draw attention to them being free as Dante bites down hard and making me tear up.
