Chapter Eleven
In the past two years, Kacyâs life had become routine. She didnât like confrontations. She didnât like change. Worse, she loathed to have to tell anybody about the nights burned into her memory. Each day the memories seemed more vivid because of the nightmares she endured. She had tried to forget. She wanted to die and yet she wanted to live to see her demon die.
Gulliver had upset her world. She truly felt a bond with him. He had forced her to break the shell she cowered in, and he deserved to know details.
He moved off her.
âHe frightened me for so long I thought I was going to die.â She pulled her knees up and held them against her bared breasts.
âYou donât have to talk about this if you donât want.â
She had to. He only told her she didnât have to out of kindness.
âHe was so meticulous about breaking down my mind, giving me hope and pleasure, and then taking them away. Each time was more severe.â
Gulliver slid up alongside her and pulled her into his arms. She nestled her head against his shoulder.
âIt was a nice night,â she continued. âI had just gotten home from shopping. The sun had gone down so the twilight had that red glow just before dark. I used to have a bad habit of putting stuff away as I went, and once, I forgot the ice cream in the car until last. It melted all over my trunk. That night, I made several trips to the car and carried all my groceries into the kitchen before putting any of them away.â
She rubbed her face against the hardness of his bare chest. The skin was warm, soft, and finely layered with short, velvety hair.
âMy open door was like an invitation for anyone to enter. I shut the trunk and headed back in the house and there he was, standing in my foyer.â She brushed her hand over Gulliverâs stomach, not knowing how agitated her moves were until he gripped her fingers and pulled them to his lips.
âHe didnât come through your bedroom window?â
âNo.â
âThe report said he entered the residence through the window.â
âWhat report?â She pulled away and gathered her blouse together. âWhen did you read a report about me and why?â
His snooping around into her past gave her a creepy feeling, like the time she came home and found the porcelain girl figurine moved.
âI got it from the police department.â
âWhen?â
âBefore I moved in. I did a check on who my neighbors would be.â
âSo, Allen wasnât the one that told you what happened to me.â She scooted off the bed.
âNo, but he did know, so donât go jumping on me for spreading the word. Iâm guessing he read the news back when it happened.â
âDid you fill in the blanks and give him more to say about me to the parents of children I know?â
âI wouldnât do that.â
âThe other day when you were standing at the back of your car watching me, what were you hoping
