Adea

I couldn’t help the feeling of helplessness as it rushed through my body. I knew he wasn’t the same as when he first did this. I knew he said he wouldn’t hurt me but… I… I relaxed my body. I needed to seem accepting. I needed to come off as wanting this. I ignored the little voice that whispered how much she wanted it.

The water sloshed around us and I tried not to peer over my shoulder at him. I didn’t want to see what he was doing. As much as I wanted to know, I kept my eyes on the trail leading away from the pool.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t what happened. When his firm hard hand connected with my left cheek, I cried out. It hurt and tears rushed to fill my eyes. My vision blurred as another slap sounded and pain spread out where his palm landed.
