Chapter Thirty

Ava

I find myself back at Joe’s office. I can taste the stench of him. I manage to stand from my chair and get away from him. But when I make it to the door he pulls me by my hair. I grab and dig my nails in his arm to force him to let me go. Instead of letting me go he pushes me against the wall.

“Let go of me.” He presses himself to me. I see his intention of kissing me and I turn my head.

“You smell delicious.” He licks my face.” I try to kick him but he presses harder.

“I swear if you don’t let me go,” I start. He grabs me by the neck and squeezes. With his other hand he starts touching my breast.

“You are mine.” I start screaming for help.

“Ava, wake up.” I feel someone shaking me. I open my eyes and Viktor is beside me.

“Oh god,” I throw myself at him.

“It’s just a bad dream.” He gets in bed and pulls me to him.

It takes a few minutes for me to process what just happened. I taste the saltiness of my tears. Viktor’s grip tightens, reminding me I am in his arms. It doesn’t matter how hard I try, I can’t forget what Joe did to me. I think Viktor knows I lied when I said nothing happened. Finally my breathing goes back to normal.

“I’m sorry. Did my screaming wake you again?” For the last few nights Viktor has rushed into my bedroom trying to soothe me back to sleep.

“I haven’t gone to sleep yet.” I look at the time. It’s nearly one in the morning.

“You must be exhausted from working late. I’m fine now.” He doesn’t move and I am grateful.

“You need to tell me what your nightmare is.”

“I don’t remember.” I lie and he knows it.

“I’ve been patient with you. I don’t do lies. It’s obvious something more happened in Joe’s office.” I look up at him.

“I told you nothing.”

“You know that is a lie. Tonight in your sleep you spoke. You told him not to touch you. You said to take his filthy hands away from you.” His voice isn’t accusatory or harsh. He is actually tender.

“Viktor,” I start.

“If you are going to lie I would rather you not say nothing at all.”

We are both quiet. The air is filled with the sound of his heartbeat. I suddenly realize he isn’t wearing a shirt. He is wearing pajama pants. I smell a hint of alcohol. He must have been drinking.

“You should get some rest. I’m ok now.” I finally say. He takes my chin and lifts my face for our eyes to meet.

“Joe is dead.” He isn’t cold or warm when he speaks.

“Viktor,” I start.

“I told you. You are mine. No man will ever touch you and live. Now get some sleep.” He moves me and gets out of bed. He leaves without saying another word.

I’m shocked by his confession. Did he kill Joe because of me? How many times have I spoken in my sleep? I didn’t know I was talking in my sleep.
