Why was I so woozy? How had I ended up on the floor? I couldn’t remember a fucking thing after… what was the last thing I could remember? I remembered licking between Anneka’s legs and making her come. I remembered thinking that I hadn’t done badly for my first time going down on a woman. Porn was my friend, after all.Take that, child services people who thought I was too young to watch it back then.
“You’re awake?” I turned back to look at her, watching as she warily eyed me from her corner.
“What happened?”
She flinched when I tugged on the cuff again.
“You don’t remember?”
I struggled into a sitting position, leaning against the wall by the bed, so my arm could relax. How the hell did she get me cuffed like this?
“I remember going down on you, then it’s kinda hazy. Did you hit me with something?” I used my free hand to check the back of my head, but I couldn’t feel any bumps.
“You tried to inject me with something, but it… you ended up being the one getting drugged.” Fuck me, was that really what had happened? I could feel my face heat up with embarrassment.I tried to drug my captive and drugged myself instead?
Anneka shrank back into her corner as I turned to glare at her.
“You did it, didn’t you? There’s no way I drugged myself. How the fuck did you…” I trailed off as I realised that I couldn’t have made myself comfortable with the pillow and blanket, so she must have done it. She took care of me, even after what I’d done to her. Even though she locked the cuff on my wrist, she also cared that I was comfortable and warm. What the hell did it mean?
“You covered me up?”
She shrugged, almost dropping the blanket from her shoulder, which she’d wrapped around herself like a cocoon.
“You were just lying there, and I… I guess I was the idiot who cared that another human being was unconscious on the floor. I shouldn’t have cared. I should have taken the opportunity to kick you in the nuts, and locked you in.Oh my god, why the fuck didn’t I do exactly that?“ She looked horrified with herself, but thank fuck she didn’t.
“Wait… why didn’t you leave? You had every opportunity to get out while I was out cold.”
She turned her hateful gaze back in my direction.
“You know full well that there’s no way out of this fucking hellhole, Blaze. You don’t think I tried? The windows won’t break. How the hell do you have windows that don’t… break…” She trailed off as she stared at the window across the room on the opposite wall. “I never thought to check the ones up here. Maybe they’re not unbreakable like downstairs. What a fucking idiot.”
I grinned, relieved to know that my dads had made the place so fucking inescapable.
“These are the same. Dad said it cost a fortune but was worth it to make it safe.”
“From what? The monsters are already inside the house!”
She wasn’t wrong, but I wasn’t going to admit to that.
“So… when are you going to let me out of the cuff?” She didn’t really think she was leaving me here, right?
“You fucking wish! I’m not letting you free just so you can force me into more sexual stuff! It’s bad enough that I could be fucking pregnant, you unbelievable asshole.”
I smirked, leaning my head back against the wall as I pulled my legs up. I tried to look like I didn’t have a care in the world, even though I seemed to be her captive for the moment. Not gonna lie though, the thought of her carrying my baby was oddly thrilling.
“I’m not wearing condoms with you, Anneka, but I’m sure you’re still protected by your birth control for now. I guess it’ll wear off though at some point, right? That’s how it works?”
“I’m not on any, dipshit. Why would I put my body through the potential issues caused by birth control when I’m a fucking virgin?”
My eyes narrowed as I rotated my head slowly in her direction.
“You’re not? I still can’t believe you were a fucking virgin at twenty two. Who waits that long these days?”
“We can’t all be like you, okay? Men get to sleep with whoever the fuck they want, because they can separate emotions from sex like the sociopaths most of them are. I wanted to wait for the right man, and FYI that person was never going to be you. Don’t look so fucking smug, rape doesn’t make you my perfect man, you know.”
Anneka
NOW THAT HE WAS awake, I was regretting my decisions. Why the hell did I almost worry about him while he was drugged and unconscious, even as I knew that he’d still be Blaze when he woke up again.
