Predator - Part 10

Lorena felt like she had been kneeling forever on the floor.  She pretended to search for something in her bag for an impossible amount of time -- knowing that he was standing -- feet away from her just on the other side of the glass.  She knew nothing of this man who just manhandled her in a shoe store!

Not his height -- his hair color -- not the color of his eyes.  She had not even heard the sound of his voice

and yet

there in the store -- on her knees -- giving anyone outside the wndow a great view of her breasts --
she bent herself to his will.

She silenced the voice in her head that told her she was being a fool and would end up stuffed in his trunk.

and fought the urge to beg him to let her up.

The fact that she could get up and walk away any time she wanted wasn't lost on her.  And yet -- she was held there -- by his will -- by HER will.  They were bound together.

there was no way that she could live the rest of her life without knowing what this felt like -- no way that she would live without knowing if she could do it.  Without knowing what happens next.

Come out of the store -- turn right -- we're going for a walk

she breathed a sigh of relief at his words and felt lighter at being out of the oppressive brightness of the store -- the night was warm and breezy and she walked slowly up the sidewalk.

"I can hear your footsteps behind me" she texted him

and as she walked up the steps she trailed one hand behind her on the railing -- and smiled when his hand touched hers.  He was like a ghost following her -- shadowing her step for step  She felt energized - and comforted by her bravery in the store --

and she so wanted to be brave

Turn left -- cross into the parking lot

she turned and navigated the traffic, briefly wondering how they must look -- walking so closely together as they crossed the street.  I'm sure they looked like a perfectly normal couple.  It made her smile -- a smile which slowly died as she passed into the darkness of the lot

turn right here -- between those cars

her feet would not obey her.

the warnings hammered into her all her life sprung to life -- they beat at her brain telling her to run

run from this stranger who is clearly manipulating you
that wants you weak
vulnerable
alone

wants you to expose yourself to danger

but she knew
she knew she wasn't done
not qute yet
a few steps more -- she had to know

she moved her feet slowly -and turned into the darkness and cover of the cars into the darkest part of the lot

*************************************
For a moment he thougtht she was done.

He wondered if he would really honor his promise that
if she turned and saw him -- would he walk away?
could he?

or would he throw her to the ground in this lot and fuck her here and now

he shook the idea out of his head
he was a monster -- but not a dishonorable monster.

He would fuck her when she begged for it
and not before

Now that he had her here - -in the dark
he would ask again

If you want to be touched -- set your bag on the ground

She was shaking so hard he wondered if she would fall off her heels completely
she shook her head slightly "no"

she whispered, "I can't"

her voice cracking with tears she was fighting back

"ah", he thought --"so close to breaking"

he took a few steps back -- givng her back just enough power so she could breathe
and turned her back around

for now

to the lights of the store

Every steps she takes forward is a step deeper down
She still hasn't looked

She is still mine
