Leverage
Chapter One
Bodies grinded to the beat of the pounding music. Most of them were probably intoxicated, because of the scent of alcohol lingering in the air. I wanted to leave, I've been here for four hours, but attempting to find four people in a crowd of at least three hundred, isn't easy especially if your my height. I kept bumping into people and getting a few butt smacks here and there, but I didn't want to deal with it right now. As I continued to weave through the massive crowd, the music began to soften and slow. Couples began clinging to each other and swaying back and forth. I felt a hand grab my forearm, before I got a chance to react, I was gently tugged backwards toward a muscular body. He encouraged me to wrap my hands around the nape of his neck, as he snaked an arm around my waist, preventing my escape. He started swaying us back and forth. I looked up and saw lapis lazuli eyes peering into my gray ones. His fingertips touched the small on my back, I let out a sudden gasp, which brought a smirk to his face. I was getting slightly uncomfortable in his presence, but I didn't dare show it, knowing it would only provoke him. I noticed out of the corner of my eyes a boy, around 20 or 21 giving me a look full of lust. It sickened me. The guy that I was reluctantly dancing with, looked in the direction I was facing and gave the man a look as if to say, "Back off." It worked.
He turned his face back to mine, "What's a pretty girl, like you doing here alone?" He asked.
"I'm not alone." I retorted.
He smirked looking around, "I don't see anyone."
"I was trying to find them before you forced me to dance with you." I replied.
"Don't be like that sweetheart." He suggested.
His hand traveled down my back, towards my butt and squeezing. I struggled, "Let me go."
"No." he said harshly.
I rammed my knee into his crotch, knowing it was the only way he would release me. he sucked in a harsh breath releasing me,before he could retaliate, I merged in with the crowd, getting a few confused looks, but i didnt care as long as i was concealing myself from him. I continued my search for my friends, when I saw the guy from earlier giving me the same lustful look. He was starting toward me, but I merged deeper into the crowd.
"What's with everyone tonight?" I thought to myself.
I finally made my through the crowd, but I needed to use the restroom. I went down the bathroom corridor. I squinted to read the sign because of the lack of light. But then, everything almost happened at once, I remember someone clasps their hands around my mouth and snaking their free arm around my waist. The person, I'm assuming male because of their strength, held a cloth to my mouth preventing me from screaming.
"That hurt sweetheart." Informed a hoarse voice. Then everything went blank.
