Page 191 of Shattered Silence Duet

“Mmm, yes, this is going to be fun,” he says, his eyes trailing down my body.

“Get off of me!” I screech, trying to buck him from my body to no avail.

He tosses the gun aside, far out of reach, then collects both my hands in one of his, holding them to the ground over my head, while his other hand runs down my body, squeezing my breast on its way, making me whimper in fear.

I’ve been here before with him touching me, and I had always stayed silent, letting him touch me, knowing he would leave quicker. But now, I know there’s no reason to sit in silence any longer, and as he shifts his weight and rips my skirt away, I let out the loudest scream my exhausted body can muster, making Simon flinch.

I try to pull my hands free, but his huge hand holds my wrists in place with ease as his free hand starts touching me over my panties, and I scream as loud as I can, “ATLAS!!”

He chuckles. “Oh, little pet, nobody is going to save you. They don’t even know where you are.” This time, I’m the one to grin, and his face falls into confusion. “What have you done?”

“They’re tracking us right now, and when they get here, they’re going to fucking kill you!” I scream at him as he presses his whole palm against me harder, making me gag as I try not to vomit.

“Well, I guess I better speed this along then,” he says with a grin. He grabs my panties and literally rips them off me, making me scream again as I struggle to get free. My erratic movements manage to get one hand free and I claw at his face.

“Bitch!” he growls as he tries to grab my flailing hand.

The sound of a gunshot goes off at the same time blood burstsfrom the center of Simon’s head and covers my face. I close my eyes tight and feel the weight of him slowly tilting to the side until I hear him hit the ground. I lay there, frozen as I try to breathe, then I slowly open my eyes and see Simon laying on the ground beside me, his dead eyes staring at nothing.

“Mina?” I look up and my eyes widen when I see my dad standing there, gun still raised.

“Dad?” I ask, as my lower lip wobbles, the tears close to the surface.

Suddenly, he’s tackled from the side, making me gasp. I turn my head and see Atlas holding him down.

“Atlas, no! He saved me!” Atlas looks over at me, then sees Simon’s body. He seems to put two and two together and nods, helping my dad to his feet.

“Mina!” Ben and Max come running into the clearing as a sob catches in my throat. Max checks to make sure Simon’s dead, as Ben runs straight to me, helping me sit up.

“Oh my god! Shit! Fuck, fuck. What has he done? Baby, are you okay? Jesus.” I realize what I might look like right now, sitting here with no pants on, covered in blood as tears pour down my face, but I cling to him, trying to calm my breathing.

We hear the sounds of other people, and Max jumps in front of us, drawing a gun, pointing it in that direction as Jasper and Tucker come running through the woods. He quickly lowers his gun, and the others come running over to me.

Tucker grabs my face. “Sugar, are you okay? What did he do to you?”

Jasper kneels beside me. “This is a lot of blood. Is it yours? Where are you hurt?”

“I—I don’t think I am, nothing serious.”

“Kitten,” Dom whispers, dropping to his knees at my side. His hands hover over my hips like he’s afraid to touch me, and his pain-filled eyes turn to mine.

Atlas drops down beside him, taking in my lack of clothing on my lower half with a pain filled whimper.

“I…I did what you told me. I fought him,” I tell Atlas with tears in my eyes. He moves closer, hugging me as he cradles my head to his chest.

“Oh, Malishka, you did such a good job. I’m sorry we didn’t get her in time to stop him.” I reach up and wipe at his tears.

“You aren’t allowed to cry, my big gorilla. H-he didn’t rape me. He ripped off my underwear right before my dad killed him. I didn’t give up, I fought him the whole time, just like you said. And you came, you all came, like you said.” I look around and see all my guys surrounding me.

Atlas wraps his arms around me, hugging me tight as he kisses my head. “I’m so fucking proud of you, Malishka. I’m sorry this happened,” he says as he rocks me back and forth.

“T-there was a girl here. I told her to run,” I say, hoping she didn’t get lost in the woods.

“We found her on our way in, she’s gonna be okay,” Tucker tells me, squeezing my hand as I try to breathe.

“Is my dad okay?” I ask Atlas.

“Yeah, I didn’t hurt him,” he tells me.
