Just One More Time NC-17
(Sequel to The New Neighbor)
Her eyes search the kitchen frantically, looking for
something, anything, she can use to hurt him. He lunges for her again, nearly
falling over, but he catches himself on the edge of the counter at the last
minute. He’s blocking her only exit, and his eyes are mean and hungry. She
fights looking towards the stairs to see if Kit is there, hiding, watching, and
prays he’s still asleep. She feels sweat trickling down the small of her back.
She knows he is eventually going to catch her.
He lurches again, grabbing her wrist. Reflexively, she
reaches behind her to clench the side of the sink and wrenches herself free.
She casts a furtive glance behind her and sees scissors sticking out from
beneath the dishtowel. Fear spears her stomach, stealing her breath. Saying a
quick prayer he won’t see her, she grabs them. They continue the dangerous
dance around the kitchen island, he trying to grab her, she trying to escape.
Suddenly his meaty hand catches the back of her shirt, and she can’t twist out
of his reach. He spins her around, and she smells the whisky on his breath.
Without thinking she swings her arm, stabbing him, then stumbles backwards,
breaking his hold. The scissors is sticking out of his chest.
