The random article:
A hand clamped over her mouth. It pinched her nostrils shut.
She fought to suck in air.
Somehow, she’d been able to breathe in spite of the water gushing down her throat, but the hand was different. It was solid. Her lungs burned.
She grabbed the hand and woke up and the hand was still there, mashing her bruised mouth, pinching her nostrils shut.
“Don’t make a sound, Jessica.”
Frantic for a breath, she nodded. The hand lifted. She sucked air into her starved lungs.
“Had a little nightmare?” he whispered.
He was on the bed, sitting on her, leaning forward and holding her by the shoulders. Jessica was no longer covered by her sheet. In the glow of moonlight from the windows, she saw that Kramer was shirtless. From the hot feel of his skin where he sat on her, she knew that he’d removed all his clothes before climbing onto her. He had slipped her nightshirt up, too. Her left forearm rested against her chest, its cast heavy and cool.
“You bastard.”
“Shhh. If you wake up your parents, I’ll have to kill them. And you. I’ll have to kill everyone. You wouldn’t want that to happen, would you?”
“No,” she whispered.
“I didn’t imagine you would.”
“What do you want?” she asked. The stupid question of the year. What he wanted was obvious. But she’d thought it was over.
Saturday night she’d told him it was over, told him that he could find another girl, threatened to get him fired if he didn’t stop. That had been the stupid threat of the year. But after finishing his little “lesson,” he’d said, “I’m sick of you anyway, you disgusting slut.”
“I’ve been thinking,” he whispered. “I’ve been worrying.”
“I’b not going to tell.”
“How do I know that?”
“Don’t hurt be. Blease.”
“I didn’t come here to hurt you, Jessica. I’m here for only one reason. Well, maybe two.” He laughed softly. She squirmed as a hand slid down from her shoulder and squeezed her breast. “I’m here to teach you a lesson. A lesson about safety. For you, there is no safety. Do you understand?“
She nodded.
“If you should ever happen to tell someone about me, I’ll come into your home just as I did tonight. There will be one difference. I’ll have a straight razor in my hand. I’ll begin by slashing the throats of your parents while they sleep. And then I’ll come to you.” A fingernail circled her nipple. “I’ll cut you very badly. Everywhere. It may take all night. And just before dawn I’ll open your throat from ear to ear. Do you understand?”
