Trigger - Part 1

CHAPTER 2 - Look At Me

He glides his short nails down my arms in perfect sync until he reaches my hands. Slowly lifting my arms, bending them over my head and continues brushing down the sides of my breasts and further down to my hips. Effortlessly he cuffs me and brings me up and my legs give way circling his body. His strength gives me enough reason to believe he could snap me in half.

My thoughts run away with me and I realize I was no longer keeping eye contact as he grabbs my hair stretching my neck back. Before I could stop myself I squeal grabbing his hand while dropping my other hand to his shoulder. My ears ache at the sound of a hiss, noticing my nails have dug into his skin.

Panic races through me attempting to free myself from his grip; He swings around to drop me onto the bed but my legs wrapped around his body; I am unable to let go. His hand wraps around my ankle forcing my legs to part. My muscles too weak, I can't cling onto him any longer, I slip.

A sharp pain grows on the side of my face and my throat feels like it is being crushed.

"LOOK AT ME!" His voice sounds like thunder as he tightens his grip.

My eyes meet his. Terror fills me and I see a look I have never seen until now. We have played this game many times before but this was different. His grip subsides as he pulls down his gym pants and lowers himself grabbing my hips. Shaking uncontrollably my legs doesn't budge, making him grab the back of my hair again. His trigger, a trigger to control every part of my body.

My legs part and he accepts the invitation; hunched over me his muscles tense as he slowly pushes himself into me.

With his body moving in a steady rhythm he pushes with more force, more anger.

"Look at me..." his voice firm but breathless.

My eyes becoming blurry in the attempt to make eye contact.

"LOOK AT ME!"

My ears sting and I desperately try to gather enough strength to fulfill his wish but something inside me is fighting.

His hand wrapped firmly around my hair while the other digging into my hip I feel his rhythm becoming stronger.

Time seemed to stand still as I feel his constant force change to rage.

"NIKOLAI!" My scream falls deaf as my nails dig into his back. My effortless attempt to cause him pain was met with his eyes, emotionless.

"NIK... PLEASE... What are you doing?" My cry fading as he lets go of my hair and wraps his hand around my neck while strengthening his other hand around my thigh. Horror fills me when the memory of Nikolai killing him flashes before me. He would not stop squeezing!

My eyes once more fixed on his I was face to face with that monster. My vision starts to fade as my body struggles to fight. I feel weak. He made me weak.

My lungs expand as a violent cough surges through me. My sight returns and the monster no longer has an emotionless stare. He looks confused. Concerned?

A remarkable amount of strength washes over me, I push with all of my might and send him flying back onto the floor. Adrenaline surging through me, I run towards the door.

Without warning his hand grips my ankle and yanks it towards him and I tumble. My fight overthrowing my flight instinct, I start digging my heel into his head repeatedly. His grip loosens, wrapping his arms around his head grunting in a low tone. My eyes sweep the room crawling to the fireplace.

His moans turns to growls, I grab the iron from the wall and in one motion I sprint towards him. The impact from his body sends a sharp jolt through my hands, running up my arms while screams fill my ears and I realize it is my own. Seeing his body motionless I fall to my knees, clenching my ears unable to keep it back.

His sudden groan sends me in overdrive as I grab my clothes and run. Making my way to the kitchen I stumble dressing myself, grabbing the set of keys he left on the counter.

"SAGE!" His voice turns my blood cold, I run towards the front door.

Shit!

My thoughts come to a halt as my hand hugs the steel handle. Frozen I close my eyes and breath in deeply applying pressure but slowly let go. Anger washes over me as I lean my head against the door while pressing my lips against each other unable to hold the tears back.

"Sage!"

His words cut through me but I stay motionless.

"SAGE!" His voice echoes.

I feel a sudden pressure fall on my shoulder.

"No..." A repeated whisper hangs on my breath, turning into firm shrieks. I spin around.

Shane?

Hovering over me with worried eyes.
"Sage... SAGE LOOK AT ME!"
