Chapter Three

Melissa

This is the start of every horror film and crime podcast. Someone takes a shortcut home, ends up getting lost, and when she leaves the false safety of her car to go find help, she ends up in a secluded house in the middle of nowhere, where she inevitably runs into a serial killer who’s been isolated from society for being a creep.

This feels different though. This lone man who lives in the middle of nowhere is nothing like the one I watched in the film. His gray-eyed gaze is kind, his face ruggedly handsome and devoid of any sinister vibes.

Well, it’s surprising I even remember what his face looks like, because my eyes haven’t left his enormously wide chest. The unbuttoned shirt leaves an unobstructed view of his muscled pectorals and the chest hair that trails down over his flat abdomen.

“Melissa?”

I finally lift my eyes to his and heat rushes up my neck and to my cheeks. Judging by the smirk on his face, this is not the first time he’s called my name. His gray eyes glitter with humor as he stares down at me, and I swallow back nerves. Yeah, I don’t think this guy is gonna kill me … but does he have to be so attractive?

When my car began sputtering on the dirt road earlier today, I’d stared at the fuel gauge in horror. Of course my luck would run out. Why else would I suddenly run out of gas in the middle of nowhere? My point had been proven further when I tripped on my dress’s skirt and fell on my face while climbing out of the car, right into the only puddle for miles.

I’d been tempted to climb back into the car and just … die … but I didn’t make a run for it for nothing, so I started walking. Then I heard the distant sound of dogs barking and saw a house in the distance.

Despite the size of Roland’s two Dobermans, there’s no ignoring how adorable they look. They were a welcome sight after such a long walk. They’re just big, like their dad. Roland had made them look almost small as he walked between them to the house.

“Melissa,” Roland calls again, this time placing a warm hand on my chin to point my gaze to him.

“What, did you say something?”

“Yes, I said I’ll prepare a bath for you and fix you something to eat. Are you by any chance allergic to anything?”

“I… I don’t think so.”

“Good, let’s go inside so I can show you where you’ll clean up.”

“Okay,” I whisper, smiling as I take a step away from him. A cry slips out of my lips as a sharp stabbing pain radiates up my leg. “Oh, fuck—”

Roland’s face turns panicked as he quickly closes the space between us and grabs my arms, steadying me. “What’s the matter?”

“Fuck, that hurts. I must have hurt my foot when I tripped earlier. How pathetic is it that I made it here barefoot
