The Forbidden Girl novel Chapter 29

Her stalker slapped her so hard, then placed the duct tape over her mouth. "Try to scream now whore." His evil laugh chilled her to the bone. She realized he had a bandana covering his lower half of his face, she still didn't know who this crazy sicko was. She just knew she had to get free from him. But how?

She pulled her leg up again and kicked him hard in the face halting his actions. It just brought another hard blow to her face. Someone had to come, someone had to. Blake please, where are you? She began to sob.

She jerked away when first one ankle was tied up then the other. She bucked and struggled trying to get either her ankles or hands free.

She froze when the knife was placed at her throat. She closed her eyes rightly, let him kill her, she didn't care, she had already hurt Blake, hurt him so bad he'd never forgive her. She felt the cold metal graze across her skin as it ran down her shirt cutting it open, then her bra.

The nausea rolled through her again, this man was so sick.

"God Sam, you're so beautiful." He toyed with her breasts slowly. "You're mine." He unbuttoned her jeans and slid a hand inside. "Once you see what I can make you feel you'll always come willingly."

Sam struggled harder, she would never want this, all she wanted was Blake, the one man she loved and now he'd never know. She screamed beneath the tape as tears squeezed from her closed eyes. She was a fool to think she'd ever been safe. She tried to close her legs, the ropes sent pain through her ankles as they cut into her there also. Her fingers were becoming numb from the ropes on her wrists. Her whole body was becoming numb. She wanted to die after this, no one would have her after this except for this disgusting man.

Blake followed the marks, then he saw the sickening sight. She was struggling on the ground, tied up, a knife to her throat, the disgusting man's hand down her pants. He didn't hesitate, he rushed to his woman's aid. He slammed the butt of the gun into the man's head knocking the man sideways. Blake shot him in the leg then slammed the gun into him again and again. The only thing that stopped him from killing the man was the muffled scream.

He turned towards Sam and untied a rope from around her ankle then tied up the man in the mask. He turned back to Sam, he cut the other ropes restraining her. He shoved her cut shirt and bra off of her then yanked his shirt off and helped her into it gently. He pulled the tape off her mouth slowly. "Baby."

"Blake." She gasped out, she wanted to throw her arms around him but held back. He came for her but that didn't mean he forgave her.

Blake grabbed the other ropes and tied them around the man's feet then looped the other one around the tied ones around his feet and hands. He lifted Sam into one arm with ease as she put her arms around his neck and he dragged the dirt bag back to Diesel. First he put Sam up on the horse then tied the rope around the horn of the saddle. He got on the horse up behind Sam and turned towards the house. He called Aaron and then the cops.

By the time he got home the cops and Aaron were already there waiting. Aaron rushed over to them, he grabbed Sam and lifted her off the horse. "I'm taking her inside."

Blake nodded curtly and untied the rope. He hauled the unconscious man quickly up and pushed him towards the male officer.

Jaimie laid a hand on his arm. "Blake can we get your statement please? We'll get Sam's here in a minute."

Blake's hard gaze turned from the house to Jaimie. "K." He began to tell his side of what happened and what he found.

Aaron laid Sam on the couch, he covered her with an afghan gently.

Her hand trembled as she slowly touched his hand with hers.

His eyes hardened when he saw the blood drip down her wrist. "Oh Sammy." He sat her up and pulled her onto his lip once he sat down. He felt tears prick at his eyes as she curled into him, her head against his bare chest. He rubbed her back slowly but stopped when she flinched. "Baby, you've got to tell Jaimie." He whispered.

She shook her head as she trembled. "Can't."

"Sammy, please?"

"Can't." She said shakily.

"Yes you can Babe, I'll be right here beside you, I'll never be anywhere else but beside you, forever." He kissed her temple.

"Okay." She gasped out unsure how she could do this.

"Jaimie, Aaron." Blake called out making her jump in his arm. "Shhh, it's okay." He wrapped his arm around her, gently rocking her.
