You struggle to reach into your pocket for your house keys, your hands busied with carrying the bags of groceries you’ve bought. You look up as you hear a male’s grunts, and are met with the sight of a man struggling to carry a couch into the back of his car. It’s dark, but the lamp posts are enough to make out his handsome face. You don’t recognize him, and you figure he’s just moving into the neighborhood.

“Excuse me, sir, do you need any help with that?” You call out, catching his attention. He looks at you with a polite smile and nods.

“That would be nice,” he responds. “Just come around here and carry the back for me, if it’s not too much trouble.”

You nod and quickly set the bags in your hands down before making your way to him. You carry the opposite side of the couch into the back of his car and set it down with him. He thanks you warmly, and you smile. “No worries, si—”

You’re not given a chance to react at all as he swings his fist at your head, and you fall to the ground, unconscious. He stares down at you for a moment before his lips stretch into a crazed smile. He giggles hysterically as he picks you up and places you on your stomach on the couch, where he undoes the first few buttons of your shirt and tugs the collar down to reveal your smooth back. His titters grow more obsessive as he trails a path of kisses down your neck and spine.

Your eyes flutter open, your mind still dazed as you struggle to take in your surroundings. You find yourself in a lavish room, the furniture and decor clearly ostentatious. Surprisingly, you are not tied up, instead you’re lying on the plush silk sheets of a king-sized bed.
