It was to his advantage that the man outside the bathroom was gullible enough to let him out of the other room so easily.The bathroom was clean. The tub and the towels were dry.The medicine cabinet above the sink had a mirrored door and behind it were over-the-counter analgesics, and toothpaste, and tampons, and dental floss, and spare soap and shampoo.The toilet seat was only short distance away from where he stood.

Richard watched as she tried to pull off her coat. Somehow, her long slender arms pinned behind her back for a moment. She was stuck. As she struggled to free her arms, Richard eyes fell on her exposed cleavage. Richard swallowed hard and rose to help her. He was still trying to squeeze around the small table, in an attempt to get to where she was when she finally broke free of the coat and pulled it over the back of the chair. He sat back down. She looked down at her shirt, it was a tight-fitting black-and-white striped shirt that clung firmly to her body, she stretched herself and started to push the sleeves to her elbow. “Sorry, I didn’t really know what to wear,” she muttered, embarrassed at what had just happened. “I haven’t really been on a date in a while.” She looked up at him, and he could tell that she was watching him for his reaction. He knew that he should say something – contradict her, raise some sort of objection – but he just sat there, expressionless, unable to

It is such a shame that he can never get me any more because someone way better found me” She winked at him.He smiled. “Someone got you?” “Handsome, tall, very full of mystery…” Elise explained. "I only wish I knew why he disappeared into thin air last week”Richard froze, his smile disappearing. Elise’s last words danced around in his head. That only meant one thing.She was still thinking of the period he did not talk to him for four days. Richard looked down at his cake, pushing his fork into it. “You still have not told me anything about your sudden disappearance " She said, pinning him down with her eyes. She watched him as he picked at the cake, pushing the icing to the edge of the plate. “Don’t you think you should let me know? Do you think I believe that made up story about you falling sick?” she asked.“I don’t know.” Richard said shar

It was more than worry; she was filled with fear that something she could not place a finger on was going to happen to her daughter as it was already late into the night.

We love each other, and that’s all that matters. Elise, don’t worry. It’ll be okay. We’ve got this.”“I just don’t want her to be disappointed in me.

But now, it seemed, he was from a wealthy bloodline.Susan’s first instinct was to make up for her previous bad character by offering something valuable to Richard. “Richard, my daughter Elise is also unmarried. I propose that you take her as your wife,” she said, smiling sweetly.Richard was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He had been secretly dating Elise for months, but Susan didn’t know that. He shook his head, declining politely. “Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept. I have other plans.”Susan’s smile faltered for a moment before she put on a gracious façade once again. “Of course, I understand.

But he was kidnapped when he was only 10 years old. How could he be found now?”“That’s what the sender of the email claims, sir.

He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt.
