Apprehended By My Mate novel Chapter 68

"My, my, my, have you been a naughty girl." I stop breathing as my blood turns to ice. I know I am screwed. My only chance to escape has failed and know I am going to die when Derek finds out.

"Please, j-j-just let me go." I beg causing Paul to laugh.

"And why would he do that." Paul grins as the sound of the devil fills the open space. I stop crying as Derek stand in front of me.

"Did you really think I was that stupid that I would notice my key missing?" Paul laughs while I stand completely frozen unable to do anything.

"I knew you wanted to leave so I set up a trap. I made you think I was gone all day when in fact I have been watching you." I take a step back and start to run when I am pulled back by my hair. I scream out in pain as I fall to the floor.

"Kurt was that really needed." Derek ask his other friend.

"I thought it would fun." I try to stand up but pain erupts in my ribs as a foot slams down onto the already tender skin.

"Paul, Kurt, hold her down." I start to panic as the grab hold of both of my arms.

"No, no stop please, Derek please I am s-s-sorry, I l-love you, please." Derek laughs as he straddles my waist.

"Look Derek she is begging you." Kurt whines as tears fall down my face.

"How times have I had to tell you Clare, you are mine and there is nothing you can do about it." He runs his finger down my face and I try and turn my head when he goes to kiss me.

"Bitch." He slaps me across my face as I struggles more.

"I am going to kill him and everyone that has ever touched you Clare." Conner holds me as I try to calm myself down. I feel dirty and used. I go to get up but Conner pulls me back to his chest.

"I need a shower. I feel dirty and used. Please." I expect Conner to let me go, but instead he picks me up and carries me to the bathroom. He turn on the shower with me still in his arms as he slowly take my shirt off. I go to stop him, but the look he gives me breaks my heart so I allow him to take off my cloths leaving my in just my underwear and bra. He takes off his pants leaving him in just his boxers.

I want to cover myself but Conner shakes his head grabbing my hand and pulling me into the shower with him. I stand under the water with Conner as we just watch each other.

Even with the water pouring down my back I still feel the need to get clean. I grab the cloth and start vigorously scrub my skin red raw. Conner grabs my hand causing me to jump and stop in the process.

"Here let me." He gently takes the cloth out of my hand pouring on some soap before gently rubbing down my skin. He draws gentle circles on my skin making sure that every part of my skin is washed. Never in my life have I ever felt this cared for and loved.

"Turn around for me beautiful." I turn around so my back is facing him. I hear him gasp at the scares that run along my back.
