She nearly stopped breathing when he began to advance on her. Every step he took brought him closer to her, made what he was going to do to her more real. She felt like she was locked in the house with a serial killer or serial rapist, not the love of her life. Well...if she thought about it, wasn't that what he was? He'd said he'd done this with other women. That made him a rapist, didn't it? She swallowed hard, unable to believe that she had really thought of that. His little trick worked and she didn't flinch when he suddenly moved his hand. Her first thought had been that he was going to slap her, so she turned her face and closed her eyes.
His crouch scared her even more. It was really like he wasn't even human anymore. If he was human, he was some horribly primal version of it. A version where love didn't exist. Just conquest and male power. And she was his latest victim. Then he called her a slut. Her face melted a little, despite the fear there, it was as if he'd sucked the final drop of hope from her. Slut. That could mean so many different things. She loathed discovering what it would mean with him this time.
Her heart was still beating at the speed of light. She glanced to her left at the futon and to her right at the bathroom that led to the open bedroom. The bedroom had glass walls. The living room had glass walls. There was no escaping the outside here. She had thought that was so beautiful, but now she thought it was the worst thing possible. She turned to the right and bolted, picking the master bedroom.
