A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 12

Hearing his footsteps echoing and breaking the dead silence of the night made her feel nervous and uneasy. The silence was so deafening that her heavy breaths were so audible. Tensed as she was, she couldn't feel comfortable at the odd smell of the room. She couldn't even tell what it was that made her feel unsafe.

She had no choice but to endure it all. To ensure her safety, she had to follow his instructions and meet him there in such ordeals. For the first time in her life, she felt extremely humiliated. As a well-educated married woman, she knew for herself that it would be unethical for her to meet a man privately, alone, and very late at night.

"Wait!"

The moment Rufus stopped, Cassandra suddenly opened her eyes in disbelief. A king-size blue waterbed came into her view!

She couldn't believe her eyes. Before she continued, she noticed that the sheets resembled an ocean wave. She felt rippled and drifted before actually laying her back on it to have an actual feel of the bed.

Rufus froze momentarily. He motioned her to face him and with one slight pull held her to her arms. He didn't plan to lay her down on the bed. Looking down at her innocent eyes, he waited for Cassandra to say something.

"I don't trust you. I can't just let you do this without any solid contract. I have to make sure that my life won't be threatened by you. We have to make an agreement."

Cassandra blamed herself for almost forgetting it. She should have brought it up when she entered the room, but she was too nervous. Luckily, she remembered it at that crucial moment before anything worst happened.

"Young lady, don't you think it's too late to start a bargain?"

Rufus said as a sinister smile slowly climbed onto his lips. The moment after, he suddenly and forcibly threw her onto that big water bed.

"Ouch!"

Cassandra automatically hollered. But it was nothing compared to the pain that came to her next as he threw himself over her. It made her eyebrows cross. With her eyes tightly closed, she cursed Rufus a million times in silence.

"Rufus, don't be such an asshole! You can't do this. You have to make a contract with me to make sure that you won't come bothering or threatening me, otherwise, I won't..."

She was making an effort to push Rufus as she explained her condition. She had turned into a helpless angry prey overpowered by his predator.

"You won't what? You won't have sex with me?"
