"Oh hey Lucy," Todd said, "I just had to use the bathroom."

Lucy, stammering, replied, "Oh…okay…um, how is your date going?"

Todd threw his head back and laughed. "It's going okay….but Lucy, I have to be honest. I think you are more attractive than Mary."

Stepping towards her, Todd brushed his fingers against her arms. "You are much more of a woman. You don't act tomboyish like Mary does."

Lucy, noticeably flustered, took a step back. "I don't know…Mary likes girl stuff too."

Todd smiled seductively at her. As he inched forward, Lucy ended up with her back against the wall. Putting his hands on the wall above her head, he blocked her from moving. Leaning down, Todd whispered in her ear. "You make me so excited." His breath, hot and steamy, sent shivers down Lucy's spine. The hair on her body stood up on end. Trying to push him away, Lucy prepared to scream. Clamping a hand over her mouth, Todd warned, "Don't scream…or you'll regret it."

Just then, the phone rang. Mary shouted upstairs to Todd that it was a friend of hers who was upset and she would only be a few minutes.

With an evil grin, Todd replied, "Take your time."

Lucy gritted her teeth. "Mary's going to realize you've been in the bathroom too long and come up here looking for you."

"Ah, but will she? Mary may be on the phone a pretty long time for all you know."

Fighting back tears, Lucy stopped resisting. Todd forced her into her bedroom and made her lock the door. Throwing her down on the bed, Todd said firmly, "This is my game; we play by my rules."

By now, Lucy was choking back sobs. He warned her again to be silent. Leaning over Lucy, Todd kissed her neck. He straddled her and pinned her down with her arms over her head.

"Please don't…"

"Shutup you bitch," Todd growled, "or else."

Unzipping his pants, Todd thrust off his jeans. After fumbling with Lucy's dress zipper, he grabbed a pair of scissors. Lucy gasped.

"Shh…I'm not going to hurt you," smiled Todd. But on his face, his eyes danced back and forth over Lucy's body with a frightening hunger. With that, he sliced open her dress.
