Pepper sighed and leaned back against the headboard of the bed, casually rubbing the bruise on her arm. The bruise left over from when Deacon had finally come home last night from walking out on her the night the computer system crashed. She could still remember how still he got, how his eyes blazed red when she quietly told him of what happened. He’d questioned her intently then, walking in circles around her in the office as she stood there and shook with fear, knowing herself to have failed her lover, and her boss. His voice got quieter and quieter, and finally he stood there staring at her as she crumpled to the floor in tears. But he never touched her. Not to punish her, not even to ease her crying. He just stared down at her, then turned and walked out of the room and the penthouse as she’d hid her face and sobbed. And he didn’t come home for days.
But she’d heard what he had done. Her phone rang again and again, her hand-picked team calling her frantically for help as he broke in to their homes or their apartments, and took care of the ones responsible for not calling her as soon as soon as the trouble started. She listened helplessly as they cried out for help, as they screamed and died. Their shrieks of terror and pain were nearly as loud as her lover’s torrents of laughter, at least it seemed that way from her end. And after the first few calls, she simply shut off her cell phone.
Deacon finally returned, late the night before, and she had just gotten out of the shower. With one towel wrapped around her hair and another around her body she was on her way to bed when from out of nowhere he was just – there. Staring at her from the doorway as she turned, startling her and drawing a cry of fright from her lips. He came at her then, with eyes so red they glowed. Pepper stood there, not protesting at all as he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed, shoving her down to her knees on the rug. She didn’t stop to think, her hands were already going to his belt buckle and his zipper, smoothing Deacon’s pants down over his hips and down over his knees. Pepper took him deeply into her mouth to suckle and lick. He’d pulled her towel off and his hands entwined into her hair, controlling her head and thrusting himself in deeply, fucking her mouth. Thrusting so hard she gagged a few times, choking on his size and his force.
From there she was pushed over on to her back for a time, then rolled onto her stomach, and then her back once more. Finally, he had wrung enough screams of pleasure from her lips that her voice was hoarse, her mouth dry. Her hair was matted, damp with sweat and her body was covered in a sheen of it. And she was marked as well. Marked by his fingers, holding her so tight he’d left bruises on her pale flesh. And marked by his fangs, with blood trickling from her throat, her breasts, even the inside of her thighs. Breathless, she laid there in a daze until he’d picked her up off the floor, setting her on the bed and licking sloppily at the wounds in her skin, wounds he’d made. Casually, Deacon then unbuttoned his shirt and threw it aside before climbing into bed with her. Just as he shut off the light he rolled over and kissed her on the lips, nuzzling her cheek lightly as he pulled the sheets up over them. “Love you” was all he said, was all she heard as she passed out.
And tonight when she’d finally woken up he was gone again. Pepper had taken a shower, washing the blood and the sweat off her. Tonight she was going to try to wait up for him. She was going to stay up and read and… She yawned and looked at the clock. Nearly 3 AM. Pulling her bathrobe tighter around her she retied the belt, then lay back and rested her head on the pillow. On second thought Deacon could wake her when he got in.

Date: 2006-09-07 02:37 am (UTC)From:She could feel eyes on her in the night, eyes filled with fury and oh so intense. Pepper was gasping for breath as she tried to find a place to hide. A doorway, or perhaps one of the tunnels or.. there! Yes, that was it, the park. There were several places she could hide from him there, either by getting lost in the woodland, or ducking behind the boulders.
Racing across the street she fled into the deepening darkness of the thick trees.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 04:28 am (UTC)From:A vicious, sadistic chuckle sounded as he started to follow, form cloaked by darkness even as the outline was plain. And he was coming in fast.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 04:38 am (UTC)From:Tripping over a brach, she was sprawling on the ground before she realized it. Up on her knees in an instant, she spied a boulder and crawled behind it. Breathing hard and fast, she put a hand over her mouth to try to quiet herself. Not even realizing that her loud heart beat and the smell of her fear could lead the hunter straight for his prey.
Deacon, where are you Deacon..Don't let him catch me, please don't let him find me here.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 05:09 am (UTC)From:And then he heard her, when he found where she had tripped. More, he smelt her.. and it was delightful. The ambrosia of terror, that sweet underlying scent of the bitch herself.. Intoxicating.
And then he began moving towards the boulder she cowered behind.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 05:19 am (UTC)From:What was that? Her head jerked in one direction, then the other. Was that a footstep? Adrenaline pumping through her, Pepper clenched her fists tightly and tried to sit still. Trying to stay quiet, trying to wait out the unknown threat. Finally, her fear got the best of her and she was up again, leaving the hidden safety of her rock, running blindly through the trees to get to somewhere she would be safe from the unknown terror that stalked her tonight.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 05:36 am (UTC)From:And made sure to keep her in sight, weaving through the trees, harsh breath edged with just a hint of that dark laughter feeling almost at her neck... And then he overtook her.
Overtook and bore to the ground, pinning down with his body and rising to enjoy the sight of his captive. A hand at her throat, just barely constricting her breath, and a gloating, triumphant smile on his face.
THIS is going to be fun.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 05:49 am (UTC)From:In a near whisper she asked "Who are you" then froze as moonlight momentarily filtered through the clouds and lit up his features. The long dark hair, that beard and mustache - and those oh so familiar, demonic, bright yellow eyes. She squirmed under his body, terror blinding her to all but the need to escape.
"No, oh no. Not you, oh god no not you!"
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 06:10 am (UTC)From:That is, assuming he even waited for one.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 06:23 am (UTC)From:She moved at the wrong time, and the blade sliced through material and skin at the same time, drawing a whimper from her as a thin edge of red welled up on her skin. "Let me go" She whispered. "Who are you, let me go please letmego"
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 06:30 am (UTC)From:It certainly aroused him further, as he carefully slit an identical curve of pain on the other side, keeping symmetry, and then parting the waist of her skirt and drawing the knife down, down, down.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 06:37 am (UTC)From:She felt the coldness of the blade on her skin, felt the elastic pull as the dagger caught on the edge of her thong. Then the sudden sting as she flinched and the knife caught skin instead of cloth once more. Slowly she shook her head from side to side, opening her eyes and looking for mercy, looking for anything in the gleaming golden eyes of her captor. "No, oh gods no"
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 07:06 am (UTC)From:And then, with a flick of the blade, she was uncovered head to toe. The knife came up, point lined up directly with the pupil of her eye as he took his weight off her body, using main force to move her form over the carpet of dead leaves. His fingers tightened warningly around her throat as he positioned her differently, now straddling her thighs, now knees as hand holding the knife made for additional support to the slowly squeezing right hand.. until he was poised for the next step.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 07:14 am (UTC)From:"Just put the knife away." Her voice was raised up, breathless and high, breathy.

Date: 2006-09-08 07:35 am (UTC)From:"N.. no no nonono" Trying so hard not to move her shoulders or head, she attempted to cross her legs at the feet, trying to keep them together with all her strength. It was fruitless, however. She could feel him working his way in, pushing between her thighs, just skimming the short, neatly cut strip of hair she had there.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 07:55 am (UTC)From:And once he got well in place, he began to slide his zipper down.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-08 08:28 am (UTC)From:But at the sound of his zipper coming undone, she flashed her eyes back open once more. And in that instant she moved.
Pepper had one hand coming up to knock at his wrist and try to move the dagger further away from her, the other hand flinging a handful of gravel and dirt into the face of her attacker. She started wiggling furiously, trying to get away even as she opened her mouth and SCREAMED!
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-09 04:57 am (UTC)From:Even so, she was going to get back into place. His zipper hand flashed out and caught the wrist of the arm used to dash dirt in his face, the bones grating against each other as he squeezed and pulled her back.. and then squeezed tighter, suddenly twisting.
She's now in a rather worse situation than she was a moment ago.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-09 10:12 am (UTC)From:And break they did.
Shock, shock and mind-numbing pain radiated down her arm as she cried out. Sudden tears spilled over as Pepper fell back to the forest floor, lying back and pressing her other hand to her shoulder, pressing against the skin to stem the blood that had been slowly flowing down over her chest. Trying desperately not to move the arm still trapped in her assailant's grip, trying not to move that hand.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-10 06:09 am (UTC)From:Hand moving down fast to release his cock from its clothy prison, it jutted out hard and full from his lower body, sliding against her inner thigh as he adjusted position for a moment. Holding the kukri over her like the blade of Damocles, where even a drop would kill, he let go her arm and lined himself up, blunt nether weapon poised at the beginning of her tight sheath.
And that smile just looked even more demented and victorious.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-10 06:37 am (UTC)From:One look up at his face and she fell silent, simply staring up at those monstrous bright yellow eyes. The eyes of a madman, and a killer. The eyes of a monster, and not the one she loved.
Her tears made it hard to see, and she started shaking, shivering in fear. Slowly she closed her eyes, tilting her head back on the ground with a whispered "Deacon.. help me". And at that her good hand let loose the wound in her shoulderblade and Pepper covered her face with her forearm.
She might not be able to stop him, but by the gods, she didn't have to watch.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-10 07:00 am (UTC)From:Piercing deep inside her, intoxicated with power and rage, he took her roughly, even brutally.. her cunt so tight around him. And even as he savored pistoning a hard, throbbing cock inside her unwilling body, he moved her arm with his free hand. He wanted to see her face as he violated her.
Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-10 07:13 am (UTC)From:hurts, it hurts ithurts ithurts, hurts so.. bad..deaco.. Tight, tight and dry, she lay there helpless below the big man as he rocked her body with the force of his hips smacking against hers on the forest floor.
And already the cuts in the side of her throat were healing up, the smaller wounds already having stopped bleeding. All but the gash in her shoulderblade that continued to wash over her chest, her upper body in a slow stream of hot crimson.

Date: 2006-09-13 12:07 am (UTC)From:Shifting her legs, Pepper tried to ease his weight off her lower stomach and groin from where his body was still battering down deep inside her. Shifting, moving her hips actually opened Pepper wider to his assault, allowing him to penetrate her even deeper; but anything was better than this constant pain and cramping in her hips and thighs.
Hate you.. hate you hate you hate you "HATE YOU" She cried out at the sudden pain of his teeth biting down on her tender flesh. Her body jerked, head coming up off the ground as she tried to twist away, tried once more to pull her hand out of his grasp. Teeth snapping, and caught hand curled into claws, she strained to capture, amd claw at the face of the monster who smirked so malevolently above her.

Her insides felt raw, swollen, her nerve endings on fire with pain. Deacon, lover - oh god Deacon... please... Whimpering quietly, she grit her teeth against the pain and closed her eyes tight, refusing to look up at the man who was invading her space, invading her body, invading her life.

Then slowly her eyelids closed, and she went limp in exhaustion. Scattered thoughts whirled around in her mind, images of her lover, her attacker, and memories of an insane and vindictive laugh. She could feel the dark closing in, the inviting arms of oblivion as Pepper began to lose consciousness.
Re: (And in her dreams)

"FUCK!!!"

Re: (And in her dreams)
Date: 2006-09-21 05:09 am (UTC)From:"DEACON!" With a sob she was in his arms, crying hysterically, her whole body shaking. "Don't let him get me, don't let him get me!" Over and over she repeated the words, a litany of terror. Deacon picked her up, setting her in his lap as she rocked back and forth and hid in his arms. Finally, FINALLY he got her calmed to the point where she could repeat her dream coherantly, the chase, the attack, the rape. His arms tightened slowly around her as she whisperd again "Don't let him get me Deacon, please please don't let him, don't, please don't."
His lips were on her face, her forehead and cheeks and lips. His whispered promises of devotion, of love and protection finally began to sink in, and she sagged against his body in exhaustion. Laying her down on the bed, Deacon opened a dresser drawer and pulled out a bottle of prescription pills. The same ones she refused to take in those long days she couldn't or wouldn't sleep after their building fell.
Shaking two - then one more out into his hand, he gently pressed them to her mouth, his other hand holding out a glass of water to wash them down with. Lying down next to her he held her body close, curling against her protectively until she finally faded back into a drugged and dreamless sleep.
And there he stayed through the night, red eyes gleaming, guarding his woman from the other monsters. The ones loose in the city, and the ones let loose in her mind.
