Nico's head felt like it was about to explode. What the hell happened? He tried to sit up but found his wrists and ankles restrained. He struggled against them as he looked around the room.
There is no one in sight but that doesn't mean someone isn't around. He did a quick inventory to discover if anything was physically wrong and determined that aside from his pounding head he was not too worse for the wear. He was however naked, tied to a bed, and had no idea how he had gotten here.
Already think Careles, how are you going to get out of this? Wherever this is?
He continued looking around the room trying to look for a way out of his current situation. Trying to discover what his current situation was. Seeing no discernable escape he was left to contemplate his thoughts.
How did I get here? Why am I here? Okay, the last thing I did was go to meet Gabrielle at the club…then blank. What the f*ck happened?
And then as if the woman herself had heard his thoughts, Gabrielle walked, well sauntered really, into the room.
"Oh, there you are Nico, darling. I was wondering if you were going to sleep all day" Gabrielle crooned, approaching the bed and sitting on the side in a filmy, flimsy robe.
"What is going on?" Nico asked her, voice like steel.
"Oh, you don't remember? Pity, well I guess we'll just have to go for an encore then" Gabrielle said, beginning to untie her robe.
"You drugged me!" Nico yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you Gabrielle?"
"You wouldn't see reason. You told me you didn't love me anymore Nico. Those things hurt, but I knew you would come around. I just had to show you a little time and attention. Something we both enjoyed last night" she said reaching over and placing her hand on his stomach suggestively.
"I don't love you Gabrielle. I meant what I said. We're done" Nico spat out.
"Why? After all these years? Why now? Why now when I finally have the chance to be with you?" Gabrielle yelled, getting up to pace the room.
Nico remained silent, his usual self.
"Tell me why Nico" Gabrielle wheeled on him.
She's not going to see reason unless I spell it out for her. Nico sighed.
"Because I've moved on. I gained perspective and learned that what we had wasn't love Gabrielle. I've never loved you, not the way one should." Nico spoke in his quiet unassuming tone, but someone who knew him better could tell his anger was simmering just below the surface.
"Then love me now Nico. Show me what you mean" Gabrielle told him.
Nico gave her a look, one that said she should know better. She had used him for years but that was only because she was something he wanted. He was an equally good manipulator, and now without Juliette hanging over his head he knew he could best her.
"I love you Nico" Gabrielle cooed in her best lovey dovey voice. And had the situation been more amusing Nico would have laughed.
"I don't love you Gabrielle. Now release me from this bed." Nico ordered her.
"No" Gabrielle smiled "we've used each other for well over a decade and I will continue to use you as long as I like. No, I think I have you right where I want you". She reached over and placed her hand on his upper chest forcing him back down unto the bed.
"I'm warning you Gabrielle. Let me up before I get angry. You've never seen me angry. You will regret it" Nico warned.
"You won't hurt me. You're in some deluded fantasy right now, but you'll see. Once we make love again you will love me once again as you did all those years ago" Gabrielle said pulling the robe from her body.
"I won't make love to you Gabrielle" Nico spoke quietly, the threat evident in his voice.
"Yes you will, and you'll like it" Gabrielle said pulling the sheet that had covered Nico's body from the bed, leaving him solely in the restraints and his skin.
"Gabrielle you do this and I will have you brought up on rape charges in addition to kidnapping" Nico warned once again.
"You don't mean that" Gabrielle said as she straddled him.
"I do. Get off my Gabrielle" Nico bucked underneath her but wasn't able to dislodge her with the way he was restrained.
"Ha ha ha" Gabrielle laughed "now you're getting into it Nico".
Nico gave up. There was no way out of this. She had clearly already had her way with him the night before and so she was determined to again. But he be damned he was not going to be a willing participant.
As Gabrielle seated herself around Nico he checked out. Drawing on years of training in the field for the agency, he separated his mind from his body. He couldn't control his biological reactions but it didn't mean he had to acknowledge them.
He tried rethinking the sequence of events. Club. Dosed Drink. Phone. What was so important about my phone? Bed. Where very clearly Gabrielle enjoyed herself last night. But what was it about my phone? And how is Dani? Oh Dani! That's it. I text Dani. Shit. I don't want her anywhere near this. But she may also be my best chance of getting out of here. But Double Shit, if she finds me like this we're over.
Nico was left to his churning thoughts as Gabrielle rode his body into oblivion.
