thought she had found the one, until an unexpected side of Dave left her body
bruised and her pride hurt.
Living in fear, she
knows she has to do something before the unimaginable happens. A timely phone
call provides Lilly a means to escape but is her family prepared to face her
nightmares?
While Lilly takes
the time to heal and regain control of her life, an unexpected source of
support appears in the form of her brother's best friend - and her old crush -
Lennox.
Lilly hesitates to
take on a new relationship, but Lennox is not giving up. He wants Lilly to find
her way and be herself again, the relaxed and easygoing girl she used to be.
Can the love of a
good man convince this scared and frightened woman to trust again? Or is it
only going to push her away?
Dave booked us a
flight for tonight. My clothes and toiletries are packed and ready to go. My
suitcase is waiting by the door and so are my heels. This is going to be so
much fun. My heart is fluttering just at the thought of seeing them. To please
Dave, I decide to wear my red skirt that he loves so much, paired with my black
see-through blouse. He’s going to love it.
We’re leaving after
dinner, so I best get that done. He’s been working from home today and didn’t
really eat much of his lunch so he must be starving.
In the kitchen,
while I’m preparing a green garden salad and grilled chicken, Dave shows up and
asks for a glass of wine.
“Of course,” I say
getting him a glass of his favorite red. Some guys like football or hockey,
Dave likes wine. A lot.
“Here, baby.” I
hand him his glass and right away, he smells its perfume before taking a sip.
While he tastes it, his eyes close and I can see how much he loves it. He
always purchases very expensive bottles and drinks them with passion until the
last drop. No wine goes to waste in this house—ever.
Setting his glass
on the counter, he wraps his arms around me and I like it. I love the feeling
of him near me, holding me against him. He always seems to do it in a dominant
kind of way.
“Why are you
dressed so sexy today, Lilly-Rose?” He pauses, his nose on my neck taking in my
perfume—breathing me in. “Are you planning on seeing someone else tonight?”
“Absolutely not, I
wanted to please you and be sexy for you. You know me better than that.”
I can’t believe he
thinks I’m wearing his favorite clothes for someone else. It doesn’t make
sense.
“I’m not sure I do.
You’ll have to change before we leave. Nobody else gets to see your curves like
I do. You’re mine, Lilly-Rose. I won’t allow anyone else to see what I get to
touch when we’re in bed.”
I nod. “Okay, I
will. Maybe I should change now,” I say nervously.
He presses against
me, letting me feel his erection. My heart’s beating so fast. I don’t know
what’s happening. I clearly turn him on but at the same time, he acts as if
I’ve done something wrong.
With one quick
movement, he turns me around tearing apart my blouse and pulling it away from
my body. He holds his hand high above me holding the torn piece of cloth and
then lets the blouse fall on the kitchen counter leaving me in my bra and
skirt. My legs are shaking and I can’t even tell if I’m breathing or not. I try
pulling away but I hit the glass of wine with my elbow and it shatters on the
floor. I freeze knowing this situation just got worse.
