The Haunted’s Kiss of Regret and Repentance

I froze as cold lips were kissing me from my neck to my collarbone. Hands were also touching me hard and possessively. I could taste blood when lips aggressively kissed mine, and the uncomfortable feeling of fear crept in an instant.

I wanted to open my eyes but it felt like I was stuck in the sitting position that I was in. My body felt like it was frozen as lips continued to ravish me all over, and I couldn’t utter a single sound.

“Did you enjoy your little perfect day, my love? Watching you be sweet with that insolent man made me both hot and bothered in a bittersweet way.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The voice was Brixton’s, but I knew it with all my heart that the man I was with now was Rian and not Brixton. I was being choked, and I know that I was either in a dream while I was in my bed, or I was hallucinating and zoning out somewhere.

“Your body heat tells me that you still remember my touch, my love. I know that you remember everything that we did, Shyne. You can’t deny that no matter who you try to be with, you will always come back to my touch.”

My eyes felt like they were glued tight, and my entire body was burning with everything that Rian was doing to me. I felt like crying and yet there were no tears falling from my eyes.

“Don’t you feel the old flame burning again, my love? The way I make you feel with every touch I give you? I know that no matter how much you deny it, Shyne, you will never forget me, especially the way I handle you and your body.”

The hysterical laugh that Rian made was eerie and it felt demonic in a way. His voice echoed in the darkness, and I desperately tried to open my eyes and move my body to get away from the cold hand and lips that were raveging me.

“P-p-please, R-r-rian. I-I can’t breathe. Let g-go of m-me, Rian. I b-beg of you, p-please let me go.”

Somehow, the numbness in both my arms and my legs were fading as I continued to force myself that everything that was happening wasn’t real. I forced myself to try and ignore Rian’s body and touches, but it was difficult.

“I have always liked the way you beg, my love. You make me feel alive with your begging alone, Shyne. Beg me the way I beg you to be with me, the way I begged you to love me more. I want you to feel every inch of me, my love.”

I screamed with everything I had as Rian moved more viciously against me. I was in excruciating pain, and it felt like the pain reached my soul. My eyes opened a little as I looked directly into his eyes, and Rian’s eyes told me that the man who was ravaging me was no longer the guy I used to date.

There was a sense of demonic aura that covered Rian, and somehow I knew that it was no longer just him who was doing these things to me. The darkness slowly enveloped the both of us, and I saw the light redness of the white part of Rian’s eyes. The red color made Rian’s dark pupils turn even darker and more menacing.

I couldn’t keep my eyes open for long due to the intense pain I was feeling, so I had no choice but to close it back again. After closing my eyes, it felt like my eyes were glued again, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t even take a peek at Rian.

“R-ian, please, p-please, I-”

He kissed me roughly and cut off whatever words I was desperately trying to form. The taste of coffee was no longer there in his mouth, and it was replaced with a metallic taste of blood.

I still couldn’t open my eyes, and by the wet feeling that I have around my body, I’m guessing that it’s not just Rian’s disgusting saliva. The smell of blood was stronger now, and I was sure that I was covered in blood as he continued his movements.

“You know, my love. I have always had multiple fantasies and I’m sure that you are well aware that we are living one of them. Now, I’m sure that you know all the other fantasies, my love. Why don’t we do a few more, Shyne?”

I was shaking and in pain when I felt the hood of the car under me disappear, and my body was now above something soft yet cold. I felt Rian’s presence disappear, and with one last effort, I tried to open both of my eyes.

The blinding light made opening my eyes more difficult, and the red colored room I was now in made my blood smothered body and torn clothes stick out like a sore thumb. I was still shaking, but not only was I shaking with fear, but I was shaking because of the cold temperature inside of the room.

I tried to move, however, every part of my body was sore but at least I could somehow move enough to have a better look at my surroundings. I knew that this was all a dream, but I felt sick at the thought of how much Rian could make a dream feel like a reality.

The bed and the entire room had red lights on every corner, and the sheets were all crimson red with red roses covering the entire dresser that was opposite of the bed. When I looked at the left side of the bed, there was a photo of me and Rian when we were in his room.

I remembered that the photo was taken during our first anniversary after the both of us finished doing the deed. I threw the picture frame across the room, and I saw the glass shatter at the impact.

“My love, you look so beautiful, and you are becoming more and more beautiful the more I look at you.”

Rian was now on the right side of the red bed, and he was wearing a black hoodie with black pants and black shoes. I was wearing my torn beige dress and blouse, and I was barefoot. I tried to stand up while attempting to cover my exposed chest, but Rian disappeared and reappeared behind me when I was about to fall.

“Well, I guess that you’re still tired after our little session back at the parking lot, my love? It’s better if you just lay down and let me make you feel so good, you might just join me in eternity right now, Shyne.”

“N-no. G-get away from m-me, Rian. I-I-I don’t w-want anything from you. P-please, I-I just want t-to get all of t-this over with. R-Rian, p-please I-”

“Don’t you get it, my love? You will ever get away from me, because you are mine. YOU. ARE. MINE. AND. MINE. ALONE!”

Rian slapped me hard enough to fall on the floor and nearly collapse. I was getting dizzy, and I felt a man’s hand on my hair pulling me hard to get me to stand up. At the same time, I felt rough hands pull my dress up and tear it to shreds.

I screamed and decided to headbutt Rian to let me go. It worked, and I was able to fix myself and crawl to the other side of the bed where I hoped that Rian wouldn’t go.

I was shaking severely, and I saw blood coming out of Rian’s mouth at the impact of my maneuver. I tried my best to focus on calming myself down so I could wake up from my dream, but Rian was already behind me again, and I was trapped in his embrace.

The both of us fell on the bed with Rian on top of me, and I tried to fight back, but my strength was deteriorating, and I knew that Rian would overpower me easily. The smile he had, along with the crazy light of his reddish eyes showed me that he was no longer thinking straight, and his only goal was to force himself on me and get whatever he wanted to get from me.

“You’re feistier now than you were in the past, my love. Why don’t we call a few of my friends over so they can see and feel the same beauty and warmth that you gave me, Shyne? You always told me that I should learn to be generous, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, my love.”

“W-what do y-you mean friends? W-what are you p-planning to do, Rian?”

Two large shadows in the form of two buff men came in through the door, and I felt my blood run cold. The shadow’s eyes were pure red, and they had nasty smiles that sent a jolt of panic and fear creeping in me.

I looked back at Rian who had magically tied both my hands on either side of the bed with ropes, and my legs were also tied apart on the two edges of the bed. I was shaking horribly as the two of them stood at either side of the bed, and Rian stood at the foot of the bed while examining me.

“Now, my love, let’s begin, shall we?”

The three of them got closer, and I felt the bed dip because of their weights. The burning inside and outside my body became unbearable.

“Open your eyes, Shyne. You’re having a very bad dream again, babe. Hey, come on, Shyne, snap out of it. Please, Shyne, open your eyes, I’m here.”

I opened my eyes to see that I fell asleep at the coffee shop where I was waiting for Brixton in my dream. I looked straight at the worried face of my friend, and I could see that he was relieved as well that I managed to wake up from that horrible nightmare.
