Excerpt
Why aren’t you scared?
One of many
“Are you sure you don’t want me to give you a lift home?” Mandy
asked Rebecca
while fumbling for
her car
keys.
“That bottomless purse of yours will be the death of you one day. And yes, I’m sure.
I only live a few blocks down
the
damn road. I can walk it. I want to walk it,” Rebecca
cooed
softly.
“Okay, I’ll see you at school tomorrow.”
“Don’t remind me, there is nothing more exciting than university.”
“Your sarcasm is on fire tonight.’ Mandy said, as she waved her car keys in the air
in a
show of a ‘triumphant,
I-found-them way.
“See ya, Becs.” Mandy slipped into the seat of her
car.
Rebecca waved goodbye. The night was unusually
busy
with more cars as she travelled down the partially lit street.
Her
mind was fixated
on Ryker. His milky white skin accented by his dark blonde hair. His pearl shaped pale blue eyes and rosy lips.
She
felt a pang
in her stomach
as she reminisced
a chorus of erotic interludes. She couldn’t believe they’d only been on eight dates. She was hooked from the very moment she set eyes on him. A smile grew on her tiny face, and her eyes lit up when a blue commodore pulled alongside her.
Ryker called out
from the driver’s window. “Get in babe.”
Rebecca eagerly crawled into the passenger side, leaned over and planted a kiss on
Ryker’s cheek.
“I didn’t think
you
were gonna get away from Mandy. Happy to
see you
did.” “You were watching?”
“No, Mandy wasn’t with you, so I put two and
two
together.”
“Oh, well she almost was. She kept on insisting on driving
me
home. I had to do a
bit
of persuading, but I always win.” She placed
her
hand on his thigh. “You should
know that about me, Smartass!”
Ryker smiled, as he shifted in his seat and
pulled the car out. His eyes left the road to steal a glance at Rebecca. He instantly smiled. Her skirt had slightly risen above her
knees exposing her tanned and well-toned thighs. Ryker licked his
lips
and turned his
eyes back toward
the
road.
“Where are we going tonight?” “It’s a surprise.”
“Come on! I hate surprises.” Rebecca gruffed as she gently
pinched Ryker’s thigh.
He gave off a slight moan that caused
Rebecca to
squirm.
“You’ll love this surprise.”
“Why are you groaning?” She asked while squeezing his thigh
a little higher.
“I’m not groaning. I’m excited.”
“About what?” She tried her
best to
act dumb.
Ryker let his eyes meet her dark brown
orbs.
He
searched Rebecca’s face.. She was
trying to stifle laughter. With a forced breath it sounded like a pig’s snort. She was such a tease. Ryker quickly glanced back toward the road and laughed at her effort to contain her
amusement at his expense.
“You love playing the dumb-chick
don’t you?”
“Yes… yes I do. Especially with you.
I know it makes you wonder if
I’m
serious or not.
I find
it
amusing. It makes me giggle.
.”
“You won’t be giggling for much longer!” He said while removing her hand almost
roughly off of his thigh. He gave her a quick look, enough to see her fold her hands across her lap and
pout.
“You really don’t play the cold and
cynical type well.
I know better.”
Ryker didn’t answer, instead he
concentrated on the road ahead. He didn’t have to
look
at his prize to know she still sat securely
in the seat beside him. He attempted small talk
with his trophy, but his mind was fixated on
the
event he had planned. The
small talk did as he intended however, giving the illusion time. He checked the rearview
mirror, and with no cars in sight he turned into a dirt driveway. He had already ensured
long ago that there were no CCTV camera’s in the area leading
up to the road. There were no street lights and the driveway was lined with a white twelve-foot concrete wall that acted like a giant fortress.
Rebecca cast her eyes on the digital clock on the dash and compared it to her gold wrist watch.
“What the hell, we’ve been on the road for an hour?” She shook her head. “It sure
didn’t feel like that long.
Where on earth are you taking me?”
Rebecca looked out the window to her right and could only
see the concrete wall.
She
looked ahead as the headlights from the
car
shone the way. She couldn’t see anything until before her appeared an
abandoned
old mansion.
