Picking my way through the bodies, I looked in the kitchen and began to work my way through the home.
After getting directions to the bathroom, I knocked on the door.
‘Ruby? Are you in there?’
Nothing.
‘Cora,’ Seth said, his voice far too close to my ear.
With a start, I turned around and asked, ‘Have you seen my sister?’
‘Yeah, she’s lying down. Had a bit too much as usual.’ Sliding myself along the wall, I stepped out of his way. ‘Which room? I’m going to take her home with me.’
‘The one at the end there. I can help you get her into a cab.’
He gave me a friendly smile that made me relax a little. ‘Thanks, that would be great.’
The bedroom was dark as he opened the door, and I ran my hand against the wall, looking for the light switch. A loud bang made me jump in the blackness.
‘What was that?’
‘Just the door.’ Seth hit the light, making me squint.
The bed was empty.
‘Where is she?’ I asked.
‘Busy entertaining some of my friends.’
‘She would never,’ I said, shocked at his accusation.
‘You don’t know your sister half as well as you think you do.’ Seth advanced toward me, and I glanced around, spotting a baseball bat and lunging for it.
I hit the floor in a sea of pain before I could get to it.
‘Get off me,’ I demanded, thrashing at his torso. Seth flipped me to my stomach and gripped my cheeks hard enough to make them burn, forcing my mouth open. He slid a pill over my tongue before holding my nose and my mouth closed, cutting off my air supply.
‘Swallow it, and I’ll let you breathe. It’s just a little something to take the edge off before I fuck you. Something that will distort your perception of the night. It’ll make you feel good. Once it kicks in, you’ll likely go out there and fuck half the rest of the party. It’ll make you want it, Cora. But I’m first.’
My lungs burned as I fought to push him away, desperately attempting to avoid swallowing the pill. But I simply couldn’t. When Seth saw my throat bob, he grinned, finally releasing my nose so I could draw in a deep breath.
I squeezed my thighs as he pressed a knee up between them, forcing my legs apart. His sour breath filled my face, making me gag. Panic rose, making me struggle even harder.
Despite my fantasies, and my experience with Ewen, this wasn’t the way I wanted it. Not with him. Not truly by force.
Tears welled up in my eyes as he struggled at both holding me down and trying to undo his zipper. Briefly, he let go of me to unzip, and I threw my knee up, connecting with his groin. The cry he gave fuelled me to shove him off of me right as the door burst open.
NINETEEN
EWEN
Losing Seth’s car in the packed housing estate had cost me precious time. Eventually, I followed the noise to a small house with the windows by the door boarded up, a drunken man throwing up in the overgrown bushes. Seth’s car was parked at an angle up on the pavement outside.
No-one blinked as I walked in, nodding at a few guys and saying, hey. The first rule of walking into somewhere like that is to pretend like you belong there.
Minutes had passed as I searched the house for Cora, hoping to god she’d gotten out before Seth had returned. But being that I couldn’t see the slime ball either, I wasn’t counting on it.
The wooden door at the end of the corridor was locked. Inside, I could hear muffled noises before a male voice cried out.
