The room swam in and out of focus again before a familiar face appeared in front of me.
“It’s time to come home, Shelby,” Nat said.
CHAPTERTHIRTY-ONE
Disoriented,I tried to open my eyes. They didn’t work the first time but opened briefly on my second attempt. Unfortunately, nothing swam into focus before they closed again.
Something moved between my legs, not feeling good or bad. Just there. Insistent. Inside of me. But it didn’t bother me as much as my inability to think straight beyond the thought that I needed to open my eyes.
“Wakey, wakey, Shelby. You don’t want to miss this. Come on, girl.”
A hand slapped my cheek. There wasn’t any pain, but it moved my head and seemed to unglue my eyelids. My unfocused gaze twirled loosely over the ceiling.
“Come on, girl. You didn’t eat as much as your grey fuck toys. Shake it off.”
Whatever was moving between my legs pushed harder.
“I want you awake for this. You awake, Shelby baby? Look at me.”
I managed to roll my head again and looked at Nat. He sat beside me with his hand between my legs. His other hand went to my breast, where he pinched my nipple. Hard. It didn’t hurt, though. I felt the pressure, and that was it. Just like whatever he was doing between my legs.
“There it is,” he said suddenly.
He jerked his hand back then chuckled as his fingers slipped free of me. He held up a tiny white boat anchor that didn’t make a lick of sense to me for a moment.
“You’re not going to need this anymore,” he said, setting it on my lower stomach. “The ring was too easy to remove. But you know you belong to me. So, it’s time I make things more permanent. We’re going to make a baby, Shelby. How would you like that?”
He traced a finger around the object on my stomach, and my brain slowly identified it—my IUD.
“But before I put a piece of myself inside of you and tie us together forever, we need to undo some of the wrongs you’ve done, don’t we, baby?”
His hand slid over my stomach and up to my chest.
“They sure knew how to dress you. I’ve never seen you looking so fine. Biteable. I can’t decide what I want to do first.”
Scenes from the past and all the different ways he’d abused me filtered into my head. Even knowing what was coming, I was still too out of it to care.
“I’ll think on it while your little dose of vitamin K wears off. You sit tight. I’ll be back soon.”
He patted my thigh, stood, and left the room.
I blinked at the unfamiliar door then turned my head to look around the room. It wasn’t a place I knew. It wasn’t home. And that bothered me. I needed to get home.
Thoughts of Turik and Vorx flitted in. Turik had fallen. Vorx too. What had Nat done to them? To us? I shook my head, trying harder to think straight.
The need to leave, to find Vorx and Turik, pushed at me. However, I couldn’t sit up, no matter how hard I tried. Frustrated, I looked at the thing holding my wrist and preventing movement. Rope. Same on the other one. I lifted my head and looked down at my ankles.
A thread of fear bloomed inside me that I was tied down and spread open. The sight of my IUD resting on my stomach, right over my uterus, cleared more of my head, and what he’d said clicked into place. He’d removed my IUD and was going to rape me. Likely again and again until I was pregnant like he wanted.
A small whimper escaped me, and I tried harder to tug at my ropes. They bit into my skin, the first sensation of discomfort since I woke.
Outside the bedroom, I heard the sudden burst of male laughter. Nat wasn’t alone. There were other people here. The presence of others had never stopped his abuse in the past, but I was done being quiet.
“Help me.” It wasn’t the yell I wanted, but a rasp. I swallowed dryly and tried clearing my throat.
“Help me.” Better. Louder.
Nat walked back into the room.
