Grace

I wake up when he leaves my room. The lock clicks behind him. I listen to his fading footsteps, then the house goes silent.

I’m here again, in my room. Trapped and alone.

No special night. No conversation. None of the things I desperately need.

I gave him so much tonight, but nothing changed. I didn’t earn trust or freedom. He didn’t even stay with me. I fell asleep in his arms, but I’m still nothing to him. Just a prisoner to fuck with and control.

My stomach growls. I never ate, and Bram doesn’t care. I wonder what happened to the dinner he brought home. He probably tossed the whole thing in the trash.

I crane my head over my shoulder. Even in the dark I can see welts and bruises. I have the sick instinct to be proud of them. Bram Russell did this to me, and I took it. I not only took it, I got pleasure out of it.

I wish I knew what he was thinking right now. Is he proud of me? Still angry?

I roll over and squeeze my eyes shut. Forget it. It doesn’t matter. Be grateful he didn’t hurt you even worse.

Just then, I hear the rumble of the garage door. I hold my breath and listen. A minute later, Bram’s car roars to life and drives away into the darkness.

Loneliness sweeps over me. He left me. Again.

I’ve never felt so solitary and forgotten, even when Bram left me for hours at a time. I’ve never been alone here this late at night.

I strain to see the moon or stars through the window, anything that will make me feel grounded. There’s nothing outside but flat gray darkness. It’s starting to rain.

Maybe he went to Coral’s husband’s bar. She said they were best friends.

Or he needed something at the grocery story. Breakfast for me.

Or. I press my lips together.

He’s never mentioned anyone else, but he wouldn’t.

How do I know he doesn’t have someone to fuck? Or three?

My stomach pitches as I imagine him naked in another woman’s bed. Fucking her with the long, thick cock he never even took out of his pants tonight.

At Phantom, he must be surrounded by beautiful, accomplished women. A man like him? He probably fucks one girl on his lunch hour and another after work. For all I know, he fucks them under this roof while I wait for thirty pathetic seconds of attention.

I’ve never seen even him naked. It’s so unfair. He’s never been vulnerable, not with me.

Why? Maybe if I didn’t talk back, if I were a better person...

I growl into the mattress. These thoughts are crazy. I’m crazy.

I can’t be jealous. I can’t want him like this. It’s horrible and wrong.

I pull the pillow over my head and try not to listen for his car. I try to force myself to sleep, but my heart feels sick and broken.

What if Bram never comes back? Would Coral rescue me?

A desolate feeling cracks open inside me. I lie awake waiting, feeling so desperately alone I can hardly breathe.
