If I choose one of them, then I’d have to live with the pain of killing the other. But if I choose neither, he’ll probably kill them both and I’d be left with nothing.
My fingers shook at my side and my lips wobbled as they opened and closed. I can’t possibly choose between two persons whom I love equally so my only option is to swallow my pride and do what has to be done… beg. Never in my life have I ever stooped as low as to beg for anything, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
“P-P…” I gulped, trying to get rid of the knot in my throat, “P-Ple-”
“You’ll have to kill us all!” Mom’s firm voice came from behind me. I rubbed my chest and sighed heavily, thankful to her for cutting off the words that literally felt as if they were choking me.
But when I cooled down and her words finally soaked in my mind, my eyes widened and I turned to look wide eyed at the woman who had said the most ridiculous thing ever. Kill us all? She must be crazy cuz I’m NOT dying here. I’ve merely lived twenty years of my life and I haven’t done half of the things any normal twenty year old woman would do… yet she’s talking about dying. I’m NOT fucking dying!
“Look, you fucking lunatic! I’ll do anything you want, but don’t you dare touch my family!” I bellowed, pointing an angry finger at him which visibly wavered and trembled slightly in agitation when a toothy grin spread across his face once again as if he had expected those words. I hid my shaking fingers behind me and pursed my lips, refusing to let him receive the satisfaction of knowing how much he was terrorizing me.
“Are you sure you’re able to give me what I want?”
My eyes narrowed, his words enkindling confusion and reinstating the little hope of survival that had depleted a few minutes back.
“Anything!” I told him, my voice a tad bit louder than the norm due to desperation.
What could a guy like him want? Sex? Money? Guns? Bl–
“I want you to become mine.” Kasan declared as his eyes watched me with an amused twinkle. He seemed to already know that this would end in his favour.
My features visibly slackened, my mind taking me back to about two hours ago when he had basically said the same thing, the only difference between the two was the blunt way in which he phrased it this time around.
‘What if I want more than a simple one night stand?’
I guess this is him determined to get what he wants by threatening me with my parents’ heads at gunpoint.
He knows that I’ll undoubtedly do as he wishes in order to save them… anyone would!
This fucking lunatic!
My stomach stirred in distaste at the disturbing thought, but I’d have to think of it as a small price to pay in return for my parents’ life. Speaking of parents, I could hear mom desperately calling out to me from behind. I didn’t look back at her though, knowing she’d only spout her disapproval.
My silence seemed to take a toll on Kasan’s confidence because he frowned. “I’m doing you a favour here. If you refuse, they’ll both die and I’ll take your sexy ass back with me whether you like it or not.”
With pursed lips, I swallowed the rejection on my tongue and nodded, the gesture equal to a sharp arrow piercing my pride.
At that, his eyes literally sparkled, and his feet moved to destroy the distance between us. I don’t know why, but the closer he got and the more clearer his gleeful features became, I was oddly stripped of the little fear I carried and burdened with a sudden feeling of familiarity. You could say I no longer saw him as the man who was threatening me but as the man who I met last night.
Once close, one hand buried itself in my hips and pulled me flush against him. “Now you are mine and mine only… You are my possession.”
I wasn’t sure if it was the dominant way he phrased it or the husky, firm voice he used, but his words aroused something… a desire of some sort. And I couldn’t discard the fact that my heart throbbed frantically behind my chest, much like two years ago when I had been in a totally different situation with a totally different guy.
This is bad… This is REALLY bad!
My gaze shifted from his eyes down to his lips as he began to lean closer. I know I should’ve turned away, I know I should’ve slapped him hard enough for half of his teeth to dislodge from gum… but I must’ve been so dumbstrucked that I stupidly stood still and waited until they finally connected with mine. My head tipped back a little as they moved greedily against my plump ones, and I found myself unable to resist kissing back with just as much vigour.
One of his hands stayed glued to his gun while the other moved from my waist to cup the back of my neck. I moaned into his mouth when his tongue slipped between my lips, bringing me so much ecstasy that I completely forgot about the presence of my mother and father.
Maybe being his to use and abuse won’t be so bad… just maybe…
“Clara?” Mom’s low, hesitant call filled the air, and only then did I truly feel her eyes boring into my back.
Shit. Shit. SHIT!!!
With tinted cheeks, I turned my head to the side and pushed against his chest, struggling to ignore it when my name sexily rolled off his tongue in a low, intrigued whisper.
But instead of stopping like I hoped, he kept on kissing the skin of my cheek.
“Stop!” I yelled… well tried to yell while attempting to break out of his hold. He hummed in response and slid his hands down to my ass.
Noting that he was too far gone to listen, I ducked under his arm swiftly then stepped away from him, inciting a childish pout on his lips. I gave him a ‘don’t you fucking come near me’ look and he held his hands up in surrender, his signature grin forming.
Fucking devil.
I turned to mom and catched the utterly shocked look on her face. On the other hand, dad was just staring as he laid still on the floor, no emotion, no words… nothing.
For the first time in my life, I feel like a hooker. What the hell did I just do?
“You fucking dipshit!” I gritted out in his direction. In response, I expected him to grin or do something even more psychotic, but the lunatic decided to throw a few preposterous words at my parents instead.
“Sit tight, you just might become my inlaws.”
Following his preposterous words, Kasan’s hand latched onto my waist once more and forced me flush against him. I shifted my incredulous gaze to him, resisting the urge to pummel my fist into his mouth.
If I was red before then I was ten times redder now.
He winked at me and before I could even give him a piece of my mind, a low thud was heard. My head snapped in mom’s direction, only to see that she wasn’t kneeling on the floor anymore but laying unmoving beside father.
She fainted… SHE FUCKING FAINTED!?
