The door opens and a thin sliver of light from the hallway falls on the floor. A shadow I recognize as Ivan looms in the doorway.
I canât see his eyes, his face is shaded, but I know he can see mine. Fresh tears are still falling. Every little move I make stings.
He walks up to me and crouches next to the bed, looking me over. Tilting his head, he pushes the mess of hair off my face and tucks the strands behind my ear. He frowns and then begins to free my wrists and ankles from the straps. I glance over my shoulder at the sleeping Salvatore, then back at Ivan. He gives me his hand and pulls me up.
I wince and bury my teeth in my lip to stay quiet.
Ivan looks me over, his eyes as unreadable as ever, but a muscle in his jaw keeps clenching. In one move he pulls off his T-shirt and hands it to me. I stand like an idiot, holding the fabric, looking between the shirt and Ivan. He motions for me to put it on, so I make quick work with pulling it over my head. It falls to mid-thigh. Itâs gigantic. I look up at Ivan, and I donât know why I ever thought anything else, but he is a very well-built man. Broad around the waist, pure muscle, like a boxer. I always thought he was bulky, maybe a bit heavy, but thereâs not an ounce of extra fat on his body. In his own brutish way, flat and broken nose and all, heâs really handsome.
He takes a careful hold of my arm and pulls me out of the room, into the too-bright corridor, before he closes the door to the torture chamber that is Salvatoreâs bedroom.
âCan you walk, Carmen?â
I look at my naked feet, my ankles red and chafed, traces of dried cum along the insides of my legs.
Ivan follows my gaze.
âI⦠I need a break,â I whisper and sway, the walls around us tilting.
âCome here.â
He scoops me up and cradles me like a baby to his warm broad chest. It hurts where he touches me, but I steel myself against the ache in my back. Itâs no use showing him the state Iâm in. He already knows it. Heâs got a thick carpet of blond chest hair and he smells of cologne, a little on the heavy side, but not unpleasant. I wonder what heâs doing here. I wonder if heâs as evil as Salvatore. Heâs given me the odd glance of pity, something no other man in this place has done.
âYou can just call a cab.â My voice is barely audible, but in the dead silent house it carries anyway.
Ivan scoffs. âThe driver is waiting for you outside.â
My chest clenches. It hurts more than any cane ever did, knowing Iâll have to face Lucas with who I am, with what I let these people do to me.
Too soon, weâre at the entrance door.
âWant me to carry you to the car?â
âNo! Itâs all right.
