Primitive. Demeaning. And all I can think is, <em>don\u2019t stop<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>He warned me he was going to be rough. He warned me I\u2019d feel alarmed when he shoved his cock all the way down my throat. I was ready for that.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t ready for the names he would call me.<\/p>\n<p>Or to be so wildly turned on by it all.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as if we crossed over to the right side of wrong, and everything is too hot, and his cock is too huge, and I have too many clothes. I want him to lay me out and use me. I want him to do anything to me. Everything to me.<\/p>\n<p>I pull back, knowing he\u2019ll shove my head back onto his cock, and he does, fingers digging into my scalp.<\/p>\n<p>My nipples rub on his legs, heating\u2014from the friction, maybe\u2014and I nearly get off. It\u2019s pure madness. Usually I need a lot of help.<\/p>\n<p>But this is Aleksio being Aleksio. He always went too far, and I always loved him for it.<\/p>\n<p>I feel when he\u2019s going to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo teeth. Don\u2019t you fucking\u2026\u201d He jerks into my throat. The orgasm goes on forever. He holds my head firmly in his grip, panting.<\/p>\n<p>I move my tongue a tiny bit and he clutches my hair. \u201cGod! Don\u2019t move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I feel dazed. Heart pounding. This was the wildest and most powerful sexual experience of my life and I didn\u2019t even come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d he whispers after a while, gently extracting himself from me. I sit on the coffee table, wiping my mouth and striking the tears from my cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>His eyes shine, and I know he felt power of what just happened. The mad connection. Deep down, I know that neither of us have been here before. He reaches out and brushes my hair from my forehead.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when I see the gun in his other hand, dark and cold and black.<\/p>\n<p><em>He was holding a gun?<\/em> Why? Why would he need a gun?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry, the safety was on.\u201d He puts it aside, eyes averted, and then he swipes his phone off the floor. He presses something. A red light goes off.<\/p>\n<p>My mouth falls open. \u201cWhat the hell? What did you do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaved your finger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Red. A record light.<\/p>\n<p>He tucks himself in, zips himself up.<\/p>\n<p>He recorded us? Why record us like that? With him holding a gun? Why would he want to make it look like he was being a violent asshole, forcing me to do that?<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly everything in the room gets too bright, too real. \u201cNo!\u201d I go for the phone.<\/p>\n<p>He grabs my wrist, hauling me up off the couch with him. \u201cLeave it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re going to show that recording to him? No!\u201d I try to twist free. \u201cYou can\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He can and he will.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m flooded with shame for how much I enjoyed it. And Aleksio made a movie out of it! To frighten Dad!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuck!\u201d I jerk and twist, trying to get at the phone. \u201cYou can\u2019t! Please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Viktor comes in. He regards us calmly, like it\u2019s no big deal Aleksio is manhandling me. Aleksio tosses the phone to his brother. \u201cPlay it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo! Don\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Viktor taps the screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t watch it!\u201d I go for Viktor now, but Aleksio has me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t send Dad that clip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not sending him your bloody finger, isn\u2019t that what you wanted?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aleksio. So cool, so smooth. Like it meant nothing to him. And me like an idiot, getting off on his rough treatment. Making myself vulnerable to him. Showing him something I never even showed myself. I want to die.<\/p>\n<p>Viktor pockets the phone. \u201cHer severed finger would be more extreme. More urgency. But this is more pain for the old man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys are animals!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aleksio tightens hold on me. \u201cYou need to be done going crazy or we\u2019ll handcuff and gag you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to erase it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou prefer the finger? That\u2019s what you\u2019re saying here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I trusted Aleksio. I followed him somewhere extreme, and he ripped my heart open. Cutting off my finger seems tame in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re thinking about it? Fuck! No. Fuck that.\u201d He turns to Viktor. \u201cCall and see if the sack of shit\u2019s awake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10264\" src=\"https:\/\/obsessedwithmyshelf.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/06\/dmp-signup-graphic.jpg?resize=474%2C313\" alt=\"DMP-signup-graphic\" width=\"474\" height=\"313\" \/><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/22mvhvT\">ADD TO GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Annika Martin is a NYT bestselling author who enjoys writing dirty stories about dangerous criminals!
