"You son of a-" He walked off the porch, angrily running his hands through his hair.
"What did he look like? I'm swear I'm gonna kill him. Tell me what he looked like? Are there cameras?"

Tears filled my eyes, "... I can't," I said, my voice started to shake. "I... I don't, I can't."
I swallowed, biting down on the inside of my cheek, trying not to cry.
He stood there quietly for a moment, before he leaned down, his voice was softer, "Violet, I'm sorry. I just... I'm so mad right now. I'll kill him."

#1 Trauma
Tears pricked my eyes as I tasted bile on my tongue. I could feel my wetness seeping through my panties but would not give him the satisfaction of knowing what he was doing to me.
"I'm not wet for you." I lie, my voice suprisingly steady. He jerks his body so it's flushed up against mine and drags his teeth along my neck.
"Really?", he plants a kiss, "because I can smell you from here."
