MAC

Mac stared down at the girl before him. The defiant gleam in her eyes made his lips pull up in a feral resemblance of a smile. He would see her cower in fear before him tonight. Perhaps that had been the problem all along. He had treated her differently from the whores he fucked before. Then again he had thought she was different, and here she was, just like the rest of him. He wanted another hit, but he had to keep some of his wits about him. He settled instead for grabbing the bottle of whiskey from the bedside table and taking a healthy swallow.

"Before I killed him, Jason imparted some information to me that I've found quite interesting"

"Ok? And what did that asshole have to say?"

Mac advanced on her, crowding her and forcing her to step back until her back was against the door.

"That he made ya cum. He made it sound like ya enjoyed what he did to ya. Did ya Nissa? Did ya enjoy it?"

"What? That's crazy! Mac I never! You know I would never!"

"Do I?"

"Oh you son of a bitch!" Nissa threw a wide punch to his face, which he easily blocked before slamming her into the door hard enough to make her teeth rattle.

"How dare you" she hissed.

"Ya got no reason to be mad at me Nissa girl. Ya brought this on yaself. First ya unfaithful to me Then ya go runnin ya mouth to the cops about me" he sneered, "Shame, I'm really gonna miss that pussy of yours".

"I was never willingly unfaithful to you Mac, you KNOW that" Nissa looked up at him, her eyes pleading, begging him to see the truth in them. "As for the police, I was forced to the station. They questioned me for hours Mac, but I didn't tell them shit about you. I love you".

"Ya a liar. Just like everyone else" his hands curled around her delicate throat, squeezing, lifting her off her feet. Nissa fought against him, her nails scouring his arms, as she slapped against him, left with little choice, Nissa brought her leg up, getting a solid hit to Mac's balls.

He dropped her, a howl of pain escaping his lips as she twisted away from him, running into the bathroom and bolting the door behind her. A few seconds later she heard him throwing himself against it by but then it was too late. She had the window open, and she was already out of it, running for her life when the door was finally flung open.

MATTHEW

Matthew was sitting at a truck-stop diner when the call from Nissa came in. He could barely tell what she was saying, but he knew she was frantic. Desperate.

"Need you now"

"Nissa what is going on?"

"Mac. He tried to kill me"

"What!?" Matthew was on his feet, tossing some money on the formica table to cover his meal before he raced to his car, twisting the key and stomping on the gas, a trail of dust and gravel shooting up behind the tires as he peeled out, praying he reached her before Mac found her again. Obviously it had been a mistake to deliver her to him.

NISSA

She could barely breathe from the exertion of running from Mac. Her throat felt like it was on fire, and for once she knew if he caught her she would die. She didn't know why she called Matthew. She didn't want to drag him into her problems with his brother. But she needed help. And she would be damned if she called Jeremy for anything after the way he treated her.

Seeing headlights up ahead, she pulled herself back into the shadows, holding her breath as she waited to see if the vehicle was Matthew's. Her pulse quickened as she recognized it, and she moved to make herself visible, to get his attention, when suddenly she was being yanked back by her hair, Mac's hand clamping over her mouth to keep her silent. Angrily, she bit his hand, only to be rewarded with the sound of his laughter in her ear.

"Now why Nissa girl, if ya as innocent as ya claim to be, is my dear brother running to ya rescue? Ya fucking him too?"

She struggled against him, stomping her foot down on his, twisting and clawing at every part of him she could reach. She felt his hardness pressing against her, but instead of exciting her, it fueled her desperation to get away.

"Ya know, maybe I'll have ya one last time" he purred in her ear. "Maybe I'll strangle the life out of ya as I cum…" his hand slid down, cupping her sex through her jeans, "Would ya like that Nissa girl? I think ya would"

"I think". The sound of Matthew cocking his gun behind them made both parties freeze. "That you should let her go. Let get go Mac, and let's go somewhere we can calmly sort this out, or so help me, I will shoot you. I won't kill you, but I will make sure the pain is unbearable. And that's before I haul your pathetic ass to the police station and tell them everything I know about you. What's it going to be Mac?"

Mac sneered, but he shoved Nissa to the ground and held up his hands, doing a little backward dance away from her.

"By all means then, let's see if the two of ya can talk yer way outta this".
