Chapter 34

“Stand in the corner,” he growled from the bathroom. The closet door stood open, and she couldn’t see him.

In the bedroom, Portia’s knees shook and her heart banged beneath her ribs.

Is this it? Is he finally going to force himself on me?

Every time she’d been afraid in the past, he’d just made her stand in the corner with the damned nurse costume on while he took care of business on a chair on the opposite side of the room.

That had suited her just fine. As long as he didn’t touch her.

Of course, he had touched her in other ways. So far, it had been to hit, kick, or drag her by her hair. Not that she liked that, but it was better than him assaulting her sexually.

“Put that around your neck,” he called again, from the bathroom.

She noticed the plastic stethoscope on the bed. “This?” With a shrug, she put it on. Another prop. Another sick addition to his fantasy.

“Now, sit on the bed.”

This was different. She’d never had to sit on the bed before. Nerves fluttered in her stomach.

Oh, no. Please, no.

“Close your eyes.” His voice sounded weird, kind of sing-song.

She closed her eyes, and through tiny slits in the lashes noticed a figure coming toward her.

“Okay. Open them.” He towered over her, and a grin split his ugly, pitted face.

It was all she could do to stifle her hysterical laughter, for he stood before her in one of the nurse uniforms, his hairy chest and legs open to the air and to her ridicule.

“Oh,” was all she could manage. She didn’t let her mouth twitch. Didn’t let the laugh bubble out from her throat.

Now we’re twins, she thought.

Twins.

What the hell was this guy playing at, anyway? Now he wanted to be a nurse, too?

Well, this answers the question about the plus size uniforms in the closet.

To her horror, he slid onto the bed beside her.

“Check my heartbeat,” he said, with a coquettish tone.

Her stomach turned, and she was afraid she’d lose her much-needed food if he got any weirder.

I won’t throw up. I won’t.

When she hesitated, he roared at her in his usual gruff voice. “Check it, I said!”

She inserted the plastic tabs in her ears and leaned toward him, pressing the plastic disk against his open chest, where he’d left all the buttons undone. “Okay. Breathe deeply.”

He grabbed her wrist and squeezed it hard. “No talking.”

She nodded, and kept moving the stupid toy around his chest as if listening.

He flipped up his dress, exposing himself beneath it.

Of course. He’s naked.

Dread filled her throat. Oh, God, what’s next?

He lay back on the pillows and began to stroke himself. “The other girls knew what to do. Why are you so shy?”

The other girls?

She shrank from him, but couldn’t help answering. “I’m not shy.”

“Then sing to me.”

“What?”

“Sing to me. I want a lullaby.”

“Um. Okay.” In a thin, warbling voice, she began to sing the only lullaby she could think of, “Hush Little Baby.” She couldn’t remember the words to
