Temptations Box Set books 1 & 2 (20 page)

I still can't get over what Krystal did for me.  She took care of me without wanting or needing anything in return. I don't think I have ever had that happen before.  She grabbed my hand and followed Riley and me out the door.

I was thankful to be heading home.  It truly has been a long day. We just made it to the car when Jerry jumped out of nowhere with a bat in his hands.  I didn't even have time to warn Riley before he was hit in the head and went slack to the ground. Fuck! I was pissed now.

"Jerry what are you doing here!" Krystal screamed.

"Put the bat down Jerry. Krystal has a restraining order out on you. You need to leave now or I'm calling the police. "

"I don't care about that piece of paper. Krystal is my wife so she is my property to do as I will."

That's it I was so livid. Krystal was still holding my hand. I pushed her behind me to protect her. "Let's just talk about this like adults Jerry. What do you say?"

"Yeah sure why not." I let out a breath of air that I didn't even know I was holding in. Then Jerry lifted the bat and swung before I had time to move.

The next thing I knew I was waking up in the hospital with Connor asking me if I was okay. My heading was freaking killing me. "Shit!" I sat up to fast I started to see stars.

"Easy there Woody. You have a head injury. Do you remember what happened?"

"Yeah I do where is Krystal?" I could tell by the look on Connor's face I wasn't going to like his answer.

Connor took a deep breath "We don't know Woody." I was freaking out and the beeping on the machines hooked up to me started going crazy. A second later a nurse came in.

"Ah Mr. Madison you are awake."

"Yeah I am now I need to be unhooked so I can get out of here."

"I'm sorry Mr. Madison but, that isn't going to happen anytime soon.  We still have to run some test you need a CAT Scan and an MRI to make sure everything is okay. You might have some swelling."

"I don't care. I have to find Krystal." I snarled.

Connor put his hands on my shoulder pushing me back down to the bed. "The police are looking for her now. It was Jerry that did this to you and Riley right?" Shit I forgot about Riley.

"How is Riley doing?"

"About the same as you I guess he is in the next bed napping at the moment he awoke an hour ago but, couldn't remember anything."

"That doesn't surprise me any. Riley never saw Jerry coming. It happened all too fast." I am so stupid I can't believe I let Jerry take her. "Did the police check Krystal's house?"

"Yeah they did she wasn't there and Tara doesn't know where Jerry is either. The Police have this listed as top priority due to the restraining order.  They even have road blocks up and everything. "

I guess that made me feel a little better but, I am still so worried about Krystal." Jerry better not lay  a single hand on her that is all I have to say."

"I know man. I can tell that you are in love with her."

In love? Shit when did that happen? And how the hell did Connor figure it out before I did? But, yes I'm in love with Krystal I have to find her that is for sure. "Connor you're right. I am in love with Krystal and I have to find her please help me get out of here."

Connor nodded. "Alright dude I'll help you. I'll even help you look for her. Heather is worried sick too. She is at her parents at the moment I didn't feel safe leaving her alone."

I didn't blame him there. I patted his hand. "Thanks man, you know I love you!"

"Yeah I love you too!" then Connor bend over and gave me a big man hug.

I swung my legs off the bed."Dude where are my clothes?"

"Oh one second I will get them" a second later Connor came back with a pair of jeans and a grey T-shirt stained with blood.

"Oh hell, I loved that shirt too."

"You know what why don't you wear my undershirt. You need it more than I do."

"Thanks Connor your right. I would stand out wearing all that blood."

I quickly put on all the clothes and pulled the needles out of my hand and arm. Fuck that hurt. I stood up a little shaky at first but, I was okay in a minute." what time is it anyways?"

"Oh it is a little after three in the morning."

"Shit that means Jerry has already had Krystal for a little more than three hours. Come on Connor we need to go." We ran out of the hospital and into Connor's car or my car don't know we haven't settled that yet.

"Were do you think we should go first?" Connor asked.

Shit that is a good question.  "Well, I guess we should talk to Tara first. I know you said the police talked to her already but, what if she didn't tell them everything because she was worried?"

"You have a good point let's go."

We pulled up to Krystal's house twenty minutes later and luckily it looks like someone is still up. I could tell that the living room light and TV were on. "Looks like we are in luck someone's up."

"Yep."

I rang the bell listening to the whimsical door bell trying to figure it out. I know I heard that song before. Oh well, I guess it isn't important at the moment.  A minute later a girl about the age of nineteen or twenty opened the door.  Ah, this must be Tara she was a spitting image of her older sister. Same sandy blonde hair the only difference was their eyes. Krystal has beautiful lavender eyes and it looks like Tara has light blue. Well, and their heights are different I think Krystal is an inch or two taller than Tara.

"Can I help you?" She looked scarred and nervous.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late." I began but, "I'm looking for Krystal."

Tara let out a deep breath. "I'm sorry but, I really don't know where she is. If I knew I swear I would tell you. I am so worried about her. Listen if you are here you know what happened between Krystal and me." I nodded. "I swear I didn't know until today that he could be like that I swear it."

Somehow I believed her. "I believe you but, you are sure you don't have a single clue where Jerry could have possibly taken Krystal?"

"I'm sorry but, I don't." I felt like my heart was torn out. I was so worried about her. Is she still alive?

"If you find her will you please have her call me? I really need my sister she is all I have in this world. I know I messed up but, I do love her." I don't' know why exactly but, I patter her on the shoulder and told her I would make sure she calls. I mean after all if Tara here was so stupid and sleeping with Jerry I wouldn't have had the time I did have with Krystal.

Riley went down so fast at first I didn't know what happened to him until I saw Jerry holding a baseball bat." Jerry what are you doing here!?" I screamed. Oh my God!

Woody quickly pushed me behind him to protect me.  I was still holding Woody's hand when Jerry and Woody were talking. "Put the bat down Jerry. Krystal has a restraining order out on you. You need to leave now or I'm calling the police."

"I don't care about that piece of paper. Krystal is my wife so she is my property to do as I will."  My God I was so scarred by this point. I have never seen Jerry like this before.

I heard Woody say, "Let's just talk about this like adults Jerry. What do you say?"

"Yeah sure why not," Jerry said. I was so relieved for a moment until I heard a thunk and Woody's grip on my hand slackened and he fell to the ground.

"Oh my God!" I cried out and flung my body to the ground to check on Woody.  Blood was pouring out of the side his head. 

I was quickly yanked to my feet by Jerry. "If you don't come with me now I will kill your little boy toy here and his friend."  At that moment I believed every word Jerry was saying. There was nothing I could do so I went with him.  

Once we were in Jerry's truck Jerry handcuffed me to the passenger door.  I was so scarred I had no idea if Woody and Riley were okay or if they were already dead from blood lost. Hell, I didn't even know what was going to happen to me. "Where are you taking me?"

"That is not your concern at the moment." Jerry spit out.

I gulped, "What is my concern then?" I can't believe I just had to ask the stupid question didn't I. 

Jerry laughed it was a crazy scary laugh that I have never heard before. "You have to be punished Krystal." What the hell did that mean? Punished? God this man is freaking nuts. How did I not see this before? "In our wedding vows it said you will honor and obey me until death do us part."

"Yeah it also said you wouldn't sleep with my sister," I spit out. He laughed again and this time I knew something bad was going to happen to me tonight. 

Another thirty minutes later we pulled up to an old log cabin. "Here we are welcome to your new home."

"When did you buy a cabin?" How on Earth could this man hide all this stuff from me?

"It was given to me by my father but, no one knows about it so don't worry we are all alone out here." What the hell. Jerry unlocked one handcuff so I was able to get out of the truck. Somehow I knew if I made it into that cabin there was a good chance I wasn't going to make it out.

I started to screaming and kick as hard as I could to get away but, It was no use for Jerry. I was hit so hard across the face I almost fainted. My eyes started to tear from the pain and I could still feel the sting of his fist against my cheek.  I think I even heard something crack.

I didn't fight him anymore it was pointless. I had to figure out a way to outsmart him. Somehow I was going to get out of this alive. I just had to believe that. Jerry dragged me up to the one story cabin and opened the door. The smell started to gag me right away.  It smelled like someone died in here. Oh my God someone probably did die in here. 

Jerry flipped the lights on revealing a small one room cabin with pulleys and chains hanging from the ceiling. On the walls were sharp hooks, paddles, whips and other items I didn't even want to know what they were. "Welcome to my playroom."

My eyes bugged out oh my freaking God this man is going to torture me to death. Jerry pushed me to the center of the room and hooked my wrist into thick leather straps then he raised my arms up so I had to stand on my tippy toes.  It felt like my arms were going to fall out of the socket at any moment.

I was too busy trying to figure out a way to save my arms that I didn't notice that Jerry was now holding a pair of scissors. Jerry grabbed the front of my summer dress and cut the dress off of me from my chest down. Leaving me exposed to the cool air.

"God you are lovely to look at." I cringed hoping he wasn't going to touch me. I was thankful for only a moment when Jerry walked away to a wall behind me. He quickly came back with a small machine with three small clamps attached to it.

I tried to move away from him as much as possible but, it was no use. Jerry attached one clamp to my clit and the other two to my breast. The clamps themselves pinched but, I could handle it. Jerry bent down to the machine and gave me one last evil ass smirk then he cranked the machine on.  I never felt that kind of pain before. Electricity was running through the clams shocking my pussy and breast.

I started to thrash around so much I couldn't keep my feet on the ground and felt my arm come out of the socket. I screamed so load I know if there was anyone within a mile of this place they would have heard me.  I was by myself with this  freaking sicko. "It hurts doesn't it?" All I could do was hang my head and whimper. I was in too much pain to even speak now.  Drool was sputtering out of my mouth.

Jerry finally shut off the machine after what seemed like ten minutes even though it was probably only three to five. If you thought that hurt just wait and see what is next for you.  He unclamped my nipples and pussy giving me one last twist with his fingers before walking away.

Jerry came back a few minutes later with a ball gag and what looked like a cat-o-nines whip. My freaking God he can't possibly use that on me could he? He shoved the ball gag into my mouth and tied it tightly. I felt like I could barely breathe with this thing in my mouth.

Jerry started to swing the whip against his palm. "This is going to be so much fun Krystal. By time I am through with you, you are going to wish I just killed you." There wasn't anything I could do I kept thrashing my body around causing my arm more pain.

He walked behind me and I braced myself for the whip the best I could.  But, I still was unprepared for the pain of the whip digging into my flesh.  Jerry kept hitting me over and over. I finally pass out somewhere after the fourteenth hit.

I woke to something burning my back.  The ball gag was finally gone and I was lying on a bed faced down but, I was still in so much pain. "Ah, you're finally awake." Somehow I wished I was better at pretending to be asleep.  I opened one of my eyes. It seems that my left eye is to swollen to open.  I looked around and could see that the sun is up. I guess I at least made it this far.

I tried to move my arms but, I was still strapped down. "I have to use the bathroom." I croaked out.

"Fine." Jerry untied me from the bed post and walked me over to a bucket in the opposite corner of the room. Great! A freaking bucket. My back burned more every time I made a move. Tears started to pour out of my eyes and all I could think about was how Woody is doing. Is he alive? Is he looking for me?
