Wicked Desire

44- teaching a lesson

"Ben please let me go, please I don't know what's going on" he continued dragging her into the room and practically threw her on the bed

"You stay here'' he pointed at me, his face inches away from mine as he leaned over me and sat on the edge of the bed.

"You stay here and I will come to get you in the morning, I'll sort this out"

"What? Like you sort everything because everything is absolutely fine?" I spat back at him as he stopped dead in his tracks

"What did you say to me?' His voice was husky and low

"You... you have no idea what you're doing do you?" I smiled but not in a cheerful way, in a looking down his way, seeing him for who he really is... small.

He didn't say anything he stood in astonishment listening to me

"Don't bother coming back in the morning...I see you, and after tonight I can't just bounce back like I always do and answer your beck and call"

"Where the fuck have you found the audacity to speak to me like that? I'm trying to protect you,  ungrateful bitch!" His words cut me slightly but I refused to let my guard down, I was too angry

If his words didn't cut me, his slap definitely did. He backhanded me so hard that I stumbled and fell against the bed. "You know better clo, don't be stupid" he turned to the door to leave

"Stupid" I laughed "delusional more like" I laughed even more

"Excuse me?' He turned to me again

"Delusional to think I could make the best of this, delusional to fall in love with someone like you... delusional to let me even remotely like you" he did not take my words lightly as he came down and grabbed my arms hoisting me up to stand in front of him.

"I will deal with you later, go to sleep" his eyes fiery and intense

"Don't touch me... you can speak to me but you won't touch me from now on." I said plainly as his eyes watched me in pure rage and confusion "as long as you hold something back from me because there's something you aren't telling me, I know that for certain now, whatever it is... until I'm told, you won't lay a hand on me"

"I don't belong to anyone ben, if I say don't touch me, you don't touch me" I leaned in to get the message into his head which was filled with rage

I pushed past him toward the door and as my hand took the doorknob, and opened a single inch, a large hand came and shut the door closed, his body trapping me in and leaving me with nowhere to go.

"Get out of my way ben, I'm going downstairs" I tried pulling the door again but to no avail gradually becoming more desperate

"Say that again" he almost whispered he was so angry.

I didn't know what to say I just kept pulling on the door but his strong arm anchored it closed.

Suddenly he turned me around pinning me against the wall with his hand on my neck "ben..." I panicked as I clawed at his hand wrapped tightly around my neck.

"You don't belong to anyone, hm?" His grip was relentless

"No, now let me go!" I tried to push him

His lip curled and he threw me across the room making me stumble but I kept on my feet

"You're mine, you don't tell me what to do with what's mine" he stalked toward me slowly like he was hunting his prey

"Don't come near me, I'm pregnant and you'd still treat me like this?" I snapped
