Chapter 4 Chapter 4 WARNING! Graphic sex/rape scene, if you can't handle it skip this chapter. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, it is not intended.
Maura woke slowly from her drug induced sleep and carefully tested her arms and legs and felt the chain on her ankle. She tugged on it then huffed in frustration and lay back down on the bed. How could she have misjudged him so badly? He had been her knight in shining armor for so many years and she never knew he had this side. But she had always dropped everything whenever he was in town but this time she hadn't. This time she'd chosen Jane and it had made all the difference in the world. She heard footsteps coming down the hallway so she closed her eyes and pretended she was still knocked out. When the door slammed open it surprised her and her body flinched and Ian saw it.
"So you're finally awake are you? I guess I misjudged the dosage for a woman as small as you. You've been out longer than I had anticipated. Now we can make up for lost time. Out here you can make as much noise as you want because no one will hear you." He had an evil grin on his face and reached for his belt. Maura's eyes immediately went to the bulge in his jeans and remembered how excited she used to be when she saw what she could do to him but now it only made her nauseous. She closed her eyes and tried to think of Jane and it worked until she felt his fist slam into her chin. She opened her eyes and stared at Ian, never once had he been so angry with her that he became physical. They'd had their fights, especially when it came to Jane and she usually gave in but it had never gotten physical. "Don't think about that slut while I'm getting ready to make love to you. Show me how much you love me Maura. Forget about that bitch."
"Do you expect me to love you after what you've done? You tried to rape me in my own home and now you've kidnapped me and chained me up and you expect me to love you as if nothing has changed. You're about to rape me right now and as far as I'm concerned I will never love you again. Maybe I never did love you." She smiled a small smile when she saw the bulge disappear.
"I never tried to rape you Maura I didn't have to. You like it rough and I was trying to get my point across that I can make you feel so much better than that dyke ever can or ever will." He walked away and buckled his belt. "You're mine Maura and no bitch is going to take you away from me. Soon we can head to Canada and fly out from there. You always said you wanted to join me in my cause, well now you can." He walked over and took her face tightly in one hand. "Now you can join me in the jungle and no one will ever find you. I'm going to go get us some dinner so you be a good girl and wait for me. I'll be back soon." While he still held her face he leaned down and kissed her but as he was pulling away Maura bit his lip and drew blood. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face and looked at her with a feral look on his face and gave her an evil smile. "If you want it rough we've got all the time in the world, just wait until I come back then I'll show you how rough I can be." He slapped her again for good measure. He turned and walked out of the room.
When Maura heard the car pull away she looked around the room. She saw a window across the room and slid her legs off the side of the bed and started to walk across the room. She made it to the window before the chain stopped her. She looked out the window and her hopes of rescue were dashed when she saw nothing but trees surrounding the area. It was then that she realized she was in the middle of nowhere and if she was going to escape she was on her own. She sat back down on the bed and thought of Jane and the way things ended and realized she didn't want it to end that way and for that to happen she was going to have to get out of there.
For once Ian's ego may have been hid downfall. He was so sure that she was a helpless woman and he left her alone. She looked around the room to see what she had to work with and it wasn't much. She needed something to try to unlock the chain. She finally sat back down on the bed and tried to think of what Jane would do. Jane would rip the chain right out of the wall. Maura got down on the floor and put her feet on the wall on either side of the spot where the chain was attached to the wall and pulled with every ounce of strength she had. There was absolutely no give whatsoever. She tried again with the same result. She got angry and thought of never being able to see or hold Jane again and put everything she felt into pulling the chain and looked down and saw it give just the smallest amount but it gave her hope. She looked around the room again for something that may help her dig into the wood but Ian left nothing that she could either use to free herself or as a weapon. She heard footsteps in the hall again so she scurried to the bed then looked at the wall to make sure what she had done couldn't be detected and she was satisfied so she took a deep breath and tried to relax.
This time the door opened slowly and Ian entered with a bag of Chinese Food and started to spread it out on a small table. "You'll have to settle for a plastic spoon because I don't think I can trust you with chopsticks. I might lose and eye or something." He smiled at her as if they were sitting down to fine cuisine at one of the places they used to go. As if nothing was any different, she couldn't believe she once loved him to distraction. Jane had been right in not trusting him.
Ian reached over and forcefully grabbed her hand and slammed it down on the table. "Ian why do you keep hurting me? If you're trying to get me to love you again you're going about it the wrong way." She rubbed her wrist when he let go. Why are you going to such lengths Ian? Don't you trust me? You trusted me when you asked me to help you smuggled drugs out of the United States. You trusted me when I put everything on the line for you. Why don't you trust me now?" She watched as Ian thought about it and wasn't stupid enough to think he'd fall for it but it was worth trying to gain his trust.
She watched as he licked the spot on his lip where she had bitten him and he bared his teeth in an evil grin then reached up and felt the scratches on his face. "Look what you've done to me Maura. You've probably scared my face for life and under normal circumstances it would please me to be marked by you but knowing that you've given your body to…to that bitch and have said I'd never be yours again it causes me to think twice about trusting you." Maura watched as his hands clenched into tight fists while he fought some inner struggle. Once again he reached across the table and grabbed her behind the head and pulled her towards him and Maura struggled to get away. He pulled her harder and kissed her roughly then pushed her away. Maura fought the urge to wipe her lips on the back of her hand. "See you don't want me, but by the time I'm done with you nobody will want you and in the jungle no one will care what you look like."
"Why Ian? You never seemed to care that I was seeing other people while you were gone. I was always there for you whenever you came to town. Just this once I wasn't available, why can't you accept that? We had always said we were free to seek comfort and release from others and if the other found someone and it was serious we would let go. Why can't you do that now? Is it because it's a woman or because it's Jane? You still blame Jane for ending up on Interpol's wanted list don't you? That was your own doing not Jane's. Above all else she's a police officer and she felt duty bound to report what you were doing. I was very angry with her and her mother for medaling but I understood why they did what they did. They are good honest people who did what they thought was right." She felt proud of herself for standing up to him for a change but it didn't last long when he slapped her across the face again but it wasn't as hard as before because she was able to turn her face to deflect some of the sting.
"You don't get it do you? I thought you were smarter than that Maura. Sure I blame her for me now having to sneak in and out of the different countries I have to go to get the drugs I so badly need but to lose you to another woman and to know everything we had was a lie is hard for a man to take." He grabbed her hand again and squeezed a hard as he could.
"Ian stop you're hurting me!" His grip loosened a bit but he still held tight. "What makes you think everything we had was a lie? Until a few days ago I still loved you. You held a special place in my heart and I thought you always would. But you've ruined that by doing what you've done. I will never forgive you for this and I will never forget. And you better pray Jane never gets a hold of you because she will kill you." His hand flew to her cheek so fast that she didn't have a chance to react to the closed fist that made contact with her chin again. She tasted blood on her lip and tried not to let Ian know how much he'd hurt her. She held back the tears that were threatening to fall, she would not give him the satisfaction of knowing he was getting to her.
Ian stood up and came around to her side of the table and yanked her up by the hair and threw her down on the bed. He reached down and ripped her shirt open and leaned down and bit her hard on her shoulder. She yelped in pain but didn't scream as her body begged her to do. "You used to like it when I did that. How's it feel now? Does Jane do that when you ask for it like you used to with me?" Maura was fighting as hard as she could but he was so much stronger than she was. He released the front clasp on her bra and pushed it off both of her shoulders and leaned down and took one of her breasts in his mouth then bit hard enough to draw blood. He licked the blood then slapped Maura across the face. "So how many have you slept with since I left? I guess you've doubled your options by including women in your pool to choose from. So does this make you as much of a whore as your dyke cop?" He back handed her and she felt the skin break and felt the blood on her cheek.
"Ian please stop. You don't have to do this. You could just leave the country and go back to what you've been doing and no one would bother you. Leave me here and I will tell them I escaped when you left. Just please stop." She didn't care that the tears were flowing freely now and she was essentially begging for her life. "I promise I won't tell anyone where you went."
Ian reached down and unbuttoned her pants and lowered the zipper then roughly pulled down both the pants and her panties in one move. He then held her hands above her head and looked down at her and leaned down and kissed her. But there was none of the gentleness they once shared, this was primal, and man taking what he thought was his whether she was or not. Maura clenched her legs together and tried to fight him off in the only way she had left. She kicked and moved as much as she could trying to throw him off of her. She watched as he undid his belt and lowered his zipper and released himself and slammed himself into her. Maura screamed in pain because there was no lubrication and it felt like her was ripping her apart. Her screams did not stop him in the least, it seemed as if they spurred him one. He pounded into her over and over again mercilessly. She turned her head away so she didn't have to look at him but her grabbed he viciously grabbed her face between one hand and forced her to look at him. "You used to watch until you were ready to climax then they would close, keep them open now." He panted between thrusts but took no pity on her. He suddenly stopped and pulled out of her. "Turn over."
"No Ian please stop." Ian grabbed her arm and forced her to turn over then without warning plunged into her again and laughed when she screamed loudly in pain.
"Damn look at all that blood on the bed. I may have to stitch that up when I'm done with you." His evil laugh rang in her ears. Maura felt nothing but the pain from his thrusts, she'd shut down her emotions and hoped it would be over soon. She screamed in pain when Ian grabbed her hair and pulled her head back further than it was ever meant to go. She felt the tendons and muscles in her neck stretched beyond their limits. "How does that feel, you like that?" He threw her head forward and released her but continued to thrust into her without mercy.
Maura was trying to think of anything but what was happening to her. She pictured the last time her and Jane had made love and hoped it would not be the last. She finally felt Ian's body stiffen and his orgasm mercifully stopped the thrusting. When he was finished he pulled out of her and turned her over and spread her legs. "Doesn't look any worse than some of the women I've treated in the jungle after they've given birth. Maybe there's damage inside because there's too much blood for just that small tear. Oh well there's nothing I can do out here, you'll just have to live with it." He pushed her legs back together as if the site disgusted him and walked out of the room. He came back a few minutes later and threw some clothes at her. "You can dress whenever you want but it gets cold out here at night." Maura dressed as soon as he left the room then lay back down and curled up in the fetal position and cried.
