Chapter 1
Staring into the cloudy bathroom mirror, Melanie adjusted a few loose
strands of her dark hair, trying to tame the unruly mess that rested on top of
her head. When she was satisfied that
everything was in place, she turned and left the bathroom, heading down the
long, darkened corridor as she went in search of her husband.
There were a few of the guys milling about in the hallway while they
waited for their matches to begin, many of them speaking to her as she passed
them by. Melanie smirked as she watched
them trip over each other to get to her.
It was always amusing to see how the guys acted whenever she was around. Of course, being a McMahon had that affect
on people. She knew that none of the
guys gave a damn about her personally.
But because she was Vince McMahon’s daughter-in-law, they often went out
of their way to be nice to her, hoping she would put in a good word for them
with the boss.
Stopping in front of the door to one of the company’s make-shift
offices, Melanie poked her head inside, smiling when she saw her husband
sitting in the corner, his cell phone planted firmly against his ear. He waved her into the room, and she walked
to his side, rubbing his shoulders as she patiently waited for the conversation
to end.
Hanging up the phone, Shane smiled as he turned in his chair, snaking
his arms around his wife’s waist and pulling her down to sit in his lap. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Melanie
leaned in and planted a passionate kiss on his lips, before pulling back and
staring deep into his eyes.
“Are you positive that you want to go through with this?” she asked, the
pleading tone of her voice indicating all of the fear that she was truly
feeling for her husband.
“Yes. I’ve never been more
positive of anything in my life.” Shane replied, as he gave his wife a
reassuring squeeze. “Kane attacked my
mother. He tried to set me on
fire. He’s out of control and he has to
be stopped. And tonight, I intend to be
the one who will bring down the Big Red Machine.”
“How can you be so sure that things will go your way? You know how dangerous he can be. Are you sure you won’t reconsider?” Melanie asked, almost to the point of
begging.
She knew that this match would be personal. She knew that both men stood a great chance of being severely
injured. Although she thought that Kane
deserved whatever he got, she couldn’t stand the thought of her husband being
hurt.
“I’ll be alright Mel. I
promise.” Shane said as he gave his wife another hug, sensing her concern. “After tonight, Kane will get exactly what’s
coming to him and he won’t be able to hurt anyone in my family ever again.”
**********************
Pacing back and forth in his dressing room like a caged animal, Kane
stopped to look at the clock for the hundredth time that evening, anxious for
his match to begin. He couldn’t wait to
get his hands on the younger McMahon.
After weeks of waiting, his opportunity had finally arrived. Kane smirked when he thought about all of
the surprises he had in store for his unsuspecting opponent.
Tonight, he would show Shane the true meaning of pain and
suffering.
Tonight, he would finish the job he had started weeks ago.
After tonight, Shane McMahon would be no more.
Chapter 2
Hiding herself in the corner of a quiet dressing room, Melanie turned on
the monitor and mentally prepared herself to watch her husband’s match. She already felt sick at the thought. She knew that this was going to be bad.
She smiled when Shane’s music hit and he made his entrance, his
enthusiasm for the business never failing to amaze her. Although he didn’t wrestle on a full-time
basis, he was always involved in everything that went on within the company no
matter how small or insignificant the detail.
This business was his life. His
one true obsession. Besides his family,
this was the one thing that mattered the most to him. As long as there was a breath left in his body, she knew that
Shane would always be a part of the business.
But why he was willing to risk it all by challenging Kane to a No Holds
Barred match was beyond her. She just
didn’t understand.
The sound of Kane’s pyro exploding pulled Melanie from her thoughts and
she felt the knots begin to form in her stomach as she waited for Kane to
appear at the top of the ramp. When
several seconds passed without any sign of the big man, Melanie already knew
something was wrong. Seconds later, the
camera turned to the ring and she saw her husband lying sprawled out on the
canvas, Kane standing over top of his body, steel chair in hand. Kane’s pyro had simply been a diversion to
allow him to attack Shane from behind.
Fighting the urge to run to her husband’s aid, she choked back a sob as
she watched Kane hit him repeatedly across the back with the chair.
“Come on baby! Please get up!”
she pleaded into the monitor, begging her husband to stand up and fight back.
Tossing the chair to the side, Kane bent over and grabbed Shane by the
hair, pulling the smaller man back to his feet, before tossing him into the
corner. Kane hit him several times with
his large fists while Shane tried unsuccessfully to bring his hands up to block
the blows. Grabbing Shane’s arm, Kane
launched him across the ring into the opposite corner, then charged at his
opponent, crushing him beneath his massive weight. Shane’s body once again fell to mat, and Kane continued the
beating, using his fists, his boots, the steel chair…any weapon he could find…
to keep Shane off of his feet.
As the beating continued, Kane picked Shane up once more, this time
tossing him over the top rope to the concrete floor outside of the ring. Stepping over the top rope, Kane followed
him outside, pulling Shane to his feet again before shoving him into the solid
steel ring steps. Repeating the process
several more times, Kane made sure that Shane’s head took the force of each
blow.
Backstage, Melanie stared at the monitor in horror, crying as she
watched her husband endure Kane’s devastating wrath. His head had already been busted open and he was bleeding
profusely, the crimson liquid dripping onto the mats beneath him as he tried to
struggle to his feet once more. This
time, Kane stood back and taunted him, giving Shane the opportunity to stand
and charge him, but a large boot to the face quickly put the young McMahon on
his back once again. Climbing back into
the ring, Kane retrieved the steel chair and proceeded to beat Shane
mercilessly across his head and back with it until he stopped moving
altogether.
Laughing evilly, Kane tossed the chair aside and made his way around the
ring, bending over as he rummaged beneath the apron for a new instrument of
torture. Standing to his full height,
he laughed again as he looked out over the crowd, raising the bright red gas
can over his head for all to see.
Backstage, Melanie froze in place, her eyes glued to the monitor as she
pleaded with her husband to get up.
“Somebody help him!” she thought frantically, when she realized exactly
what Kane had planned for him.
Walking back toward to spot where Shane was still lying motionless, Kane
raised the can and poured the liquid over his body, thoroughly soaking his
clothes. Then reaching into his tights,
he pulled out a book of matches and grinned as he pulled one from the pack and
attempted to strike it. However, Kane’s
large hands made the task more difficult than it seemed and it took several
tries before he was finally successful in creating the flame.
Turning to face Shane once more, Kane saw something move out of the
corner of his eye, seconds before a hard blow to his chest knocked the air from
his body as he was tackled to the ground.
His distraction with the fire had given Shane the opportunity to regain
his bearings after Kane’s brutal assault and Shane was now taking full
advantage of Kane’s mistake.
Straddling Kane’s body, Shane pummeled him with his fists as he tried to
repay the big man for his earlier actions.
Jumping to his feet quickly, Shane pulled Kane up beside him, shoving
him into the ring post, smiling at the sickening thud of his skull as it
connected with the steel. As Kane
crumpled to the floor, Shane glanced toward the announcer’s table, smiling
again as he wiped the blood from his eyes.
Bending over, he pulled Kane to his feet once more, leading him around
the outside of the ring, making sure he connected with each of the steel ring
posts along the way.
Finally stopping in front of the announcers, Shane somehow managed to
pick Kane up and place him on the table, making sure to position him just right
before he climbed back into the ring.
Then climbing to the top rope, Shane stood to his full height and paused
for a brief moment before he leapt from his perch, closing the distance between
them as he came crashing down on Kane’s prone form, both men spilling to the
floor as the table gave way.
Although Shane had hit his target head on, the contact took a lot out of
him as well and several long moments passed before he was able to catch his
breath and pull himself to his feet.
Grabbing Kane one last time, Shane rolled him back into the ring,
quickly moving to pin him while the big man was still dazed.
The sight of the referee raising Shane’s hand in victory did little to
soothe Melanie’s frayed nerves as she stared at her husband’s bloody face. Despite the referee’s ruling, she knew there
would be no winners tonight. Both men
had surely taken years off of each other’s lives with the stunts they had
pulled. And the worst part was that she
knew this feud was far from over with.
There was no way Kane would let things end like this.
The cameras followed Shane as he walked up the entrance ramp, raising
his hands in victory again before disappearing behind the curtain. Then the view shifted back to the ring,
where Kane was sitting up, glaring up the ramp in the direction that Shane had
just gone.
No. This feud wasn’t over
with. Not by a long shot. Kane was determined to make Shane McMahon
pay…if it was the last thing he ever did.
Chapter 3
Melanie stood in the doorway of the medical room, watching from afar as
Shane was cleaned and stitched up.
Wincing as the doctor continued his task, she tried to focus her eyes
elsewhere in the room before she passed out cold on the floor. The sight of blood always made her sick,
especially when it belonged to someone she loved.
Sensing her discomfort, Shane finally broke the silence and spoke to
her.
“Mel, why don’t you go back to my dressing room and wait for me
there. I shouldn’t be here for much
longer.” he murmured softly, the pounding in his head making it painful for him
to speak.
“I don’t want to leave you when you’re like this.” Melanie replied,
fighting back tears when she thought about all of the carnage she had just
witnessed. She realized just how close
she had come to losing her husband tonight.
“I’ll be fine Mel. It’s just a
few stitches. Now go on back to my room
and wait for me. I promise I won’t be
long.”
Nodding her head silently, Melanie turned to leave, pausing in the
hallway to regain her composure before she headed down the corridor to the
locker room. Stepping inside, she made
sure to close the door behind her, locking it securely….just in case. After everything that had happened tonight,
she didn’t want to take any chances.
Glancing at the couch located in the far corner of the room, she spotted
Shane’s open bag on one of the cushions, his belongings strewn about on the
sofa. Knowing that he would be sore and
tired after the beating he had taken tonight, Melanie thought she would go
ahead and pack up all of his things so they would be ready to leave after he
had showered and changed.
Leaning over the couch, she began to fold his clothes, stuffing them
back into his bag as she worked.
Suddenly, without warning, two large arms came from behind her, one of
them wrapping around her waist, pinning her arms to her sides while the other
hand placed a damp cloth over her mouth and nose. Melanie struggled hard against her attacker but his grip was too
strong to break and within seconds the fumes from the cloth had taken effect
and her body went limp in her attacker’s arms as the darkness surrounded her.
*********************
Opening her eyes, Melanie slowly came back to life, the throbbing pain
in her head quickly making its presence known.
Shifting her body slightly, she looked around her in confusion as she
realized that she was lying on a bed in a small darkened room. Squinting her eyes, she peered into the
darkness, as she tried to figure out where she was and how she had gotten
there. She vaguely remembered being in
Shane’s dressing room after his match but everything else after that was just a
blur. And now she was here, in this
strange place, and her husband was no where to be found.
Struggling to sit up, Melanie quickly found that her movements were
hampered and she looked above her in surprise, staring in horror when she
realized that her hands had been cuffed to the headboard of the bed. Tugging experimentally against the metal,
she tried to figure out a way to free herself from the predicament she had
suddenly found herself in.
“Don’t worry. They’re
secure.” a voice echoed from the
darkness and she looked about her frantically as she tried to discover the
source of the sound.
“We wouldn’t want you to leave before the fun begins, now would we?” the
voice spoke again after a moment, this time much closer than before.
Staring in the direction of the sound, Melanie’s eyes widened in fear
when she saw none other than Kane step out of the shadows. Tugging harder at her restraints, she gazed
back up at them hopefully, praying that something would give way.
Kane chuckled softly as he watched her struggle against her bonds. He continued to stalk toward her, stopping
when he reached the side of the bed.
Melanie ceased her struggles and eyed him cautiously, not sure what he
intended to do to her. Kane was so
unpredictable. She knew how dangerous
he could be. And the fact that she was
helpless to defend herself against him did nothing to ease her fears.
“What do you want with me?” she questioned fearfully, as she continued
to tug on her restraints. “I don’t have
any business with you. Let me go now
and maybe Shane will take it easy on you when he finds you.”
Kane laughed out loud at her comment, unfazed by her threat.
“You’re husband…is not a threat to me.
If I were you, I’d be more concerned with me taking it easy on him.”
“You worthless bastard! You’re
nothing but a coward! You’re beef is
with Shane, not me. If you had any
balls at all, you’d face him like a man instead of dragging me into this whole
mess!”
Kane smirked as he nodded his head.
He could see now why Shane was so smitten with this woman. She certainly was a firebrand. He was definitely going to have some fun
with her.
“Oh, I intend to face Shane…eventually.
And when I do, I’m going to finish what I should have finished
tonight. But by the time he faces me
again, he’s going to be so distraught over the disappearance of his sweet,
loving wife that he’s not going to be in any kind of shape to challenge me.”
Melanie narrowed her eyes in anger, flailing her leg out as she tried to
kick him. But Kane was too fast for her
and he moved out of the way, smiling again at her display of temper. Oh yes, he would definitely have lots of fun
with this one!
“What the hell are you going to do with me? You know if you lay one hand on me, Shane will kill you when he
finds you!”
Kane chuckled again as he bent over beside the bed.
“You really don’t need to ask that question do you?” he replied, as he
lifted the can of gasoline and held it over her head.
Without warning, he tilted the can onto its side, splashing the fluid
onto her clothes and the surrounding bed covers before tossing the empty jug
back onto the floor. Melanie clamped
her eyes tightly shut, tossing her head back and forth as she tried to keep the
smelly liquid out of her eyes and mouth.
Feeling the mattress dip beside of her, she opened her eyes again,
watching as Kane crawled up the bed toward her, forcing her onto her back as
his big body covered hers. He settled
his weight on top of her to keep her from moving then brought his hand up to
her face. Melanie held her breath when
she realized what he was holding in his hand.
A lighter. Apparently he’d
learned his lesson with the matches.
This time, there would be no mistakes.
She cringed as he playfully flicked it, praying that one of the errant
sparks wouldn’t send her up in flames.
“Such a pretty face.” he murmured softly, as he ran the back of his hand
down her cheek. “It will be such a
shame to see such beautiful skin all scarred and disfigured. Imagine how disappointed your husband will
be when he sees you again.”
Melanie closed her eyes as she tried to contain her fear, the wheels in
her mind turning frantically as she tried to figure a way out of her dangerous
predicament.
“Why are you doing this to me?” she cried, tugging again at the metal
cuffs as she tried to free herself.
“Please, just let me go.”
“I don’t think so. The fun
hasn’t even started yet.” Kane replied, flicking the lighter again as he
brought it closer to her face.
“Apparently your husband hasn’t learned his lesson yet. But I think that after tonight, I’ll have
gotten my point across in a way that he might finally understand.”
Whimpering in fear, Melanie turned her face away him, praying that the
lighter would go out before he could do any damage. She knew now how helpless Shane and Rob must have felt when Kane
attacked them. She was completely at
his mercy. There was no one around to
save her. Her fate was now in the hands
of a man who had absolutely no regard for the value of a human life. The odds were stacked against her. Without her husband there to help her,
Melanie knew she didn’t stand a chance.
Chapter 4
With each flick of the lighter, Melanie cringed a little more, trembling
in fear beneath Kane’s muscular body as he tormented her.
“Such a waste.” he murmured as he waved the lighter in front of her face
again. “It’s such a shame that things
have to end like this. But I’m really
looking forward to hearing the sound of your screams while you burn.”
With one last flick of his thumb, Kane lit the flame, adjusting it to
make it flare even brighter as he lowered it to her gasoline soaked shirt.
“Please don’t.” Melanie whimpered, tears spilling from her eyes as she
pleaded with him. “I’ll do anything you
want. Please…just don’t hurt me.”
Kane withdrew the lighter, letting the flame die out as he pulled back
and gazed down at her.
“Please. Don’t hurt
Smirking with amusement, Kane struck the lighter again, ignoring her
pleas as he brought the flame down close to her face. Then he paused and pulled back once more, studying her small form
as she lay helplessly beneath him. His
eyes traveled slowly down her body, then back up again, stopping to rest on her
face once more as her words finally registered in his mind. He grinned at the thought.
“Anything I want….” he repeated softly, as he gazed down at her.
Melanie nodded her head slowly.
“Just don’t burn me. Please.”
Glancing at the lighter that he held in his hand, Kane quickly tossed it
to the side.
“Anything?” he repeated again, as he lowered his head and brushed his
cheek against hers.
Melanie gasped at the contact and turned her face away from his. Tunneling his fingers through her long hair,
Kane forced her to face him again, using his teeth to nip roughly at her lips.
Finally coming to the realization of what his “anything” consisted of,
Melanie began to struggle again, a task that was made very difficult by the
fact that all of Kane’s 325 pounds was resting on top of her. Jerking her head to the side, she managed to
break the contact, straining against her bonds again as she tried to find some
way to get him off of her.
“Don’t you dare touch me!” she spat, shying away from his hand as he
caressed her cheek again.
“I thought we had a deal.” Kane growled deeply, his eyes narrowing as he
watched her struggle. “You said you
would do whatever I wanted….”
“Fuck you! I never agreed to let
you touch me like that! If you think
for one minute that I’m going to….”
Grabbing her painfully by the chin, Kane quickly silenced her. Picking up the lighter once more, he struck
the flame and brought it to her face once last time.
“You have two choices. Either
you submit to me and give me what I want….or I swear to God, I’ll send you up
in flames…right here…right now!!!”
Melanie’s eyes locked with his and she could tell by the hatred and
anger that she saw in his face that he would not hesitate to hurt her. Feeling Kane’s grip on her chin slacken, she
closed her eyes and sucked in a heavy breath when she felt his lips brush against
hers again.
Melanie clamped her eyes tightly shut, tears leaking from the corners as
she realized she had no choice but to give herself to this man. Being raped or being burned alive. Those were her only options. At least with the rape, she had a chance of
still being alive when he was done.
“What’s it going to be Mel?” he
whispered in her ear as he nuzzled the soft skin of her neck. “Are you going to give me what I want? Or am I going to make you suffer a very slow
and painful death?”
Tugging hard at her bonds one last time, Melanie whimpered then stilled
as she felt Kane’s lips travel across her jaw, forcing herself to not pull
away. Resigning herself to her fate,
she realized that fighting him would only serve to fuel his anger ever further
and the last thing she needed was for him to be even more unstable than he
already was. Escape was no longer an
option. Survival was now her only
thought. She would find someway to make
it back to her husband alive…no matter what she had to do to get there.
Chapter 5
Kane watched the emotions play across Melanie’s face as she contemplated
her fate. Finally sensing her
submission, he reached out and slowly ran his hand down her cheek.
“You’re husband is a very lucky man.” he whispered huskily, before
nibbling gently on her neck.
Then, bringing his lips back to her mouth again, Kane kissed her
experimentally, smiling against her lips when she didn’t pull away. Testing her restraint, he kissed her more
firmly, letting his tongue dart out to probe at her lips as he did so, adding
more and more pressure until her lips finally parted beneath his to let him
in.
Fighting the urge to bite his tongue, Melanie forced herself to remain
still as Kane tested her willingness to comply with his demands. She knew he was just waiting for her to
refuse him again so he would have an excuse to hurt her.
When she offered no resistance to him, Kane pulled back and nodded his
head in approval. Melanie swallowed hard
as she stared up at him, her body stiffening when she saw him lower his lips to
hers once more.
He kissed her again deeply, letting his tongue explore the deepest
recesses of her mouth, enjoying the way she trembled beneath him in fear. Breaking the kiss, he trailed his lips
across her face, soothing away the tears that were falling from behind her
tightly closed eyelids. Instinctively,
Melanie gave another tug on her restraints, the feel of his hot breath against
her skin making her nauseous, the weight of his body on top of hers making it
nearly impossible to breathe.
Feeling his lips trail across her jaw and down to her neck, Melanie was
completely taken aback by his sudden show of tenderness. If he intended to hurt her, and she
suspected that he did, then he was certainly off to a slow start. But her confusion only lasted for a few
brief moments, before Kane reared back onto his knees and grabbed the front of
her shirt, jerking hard as he ripped the material from her body. Melanie cried out in surprise at the rough
handling of her body as her worst suspicions were confirmed. She realized that there would be nothing
gentle about this coupling.
Shredding the thin fabric of her shirt in his hands, Kane tossed the
remnants to the floor before turning his attention to her bra. Giving another hard jerk, the delicate lace
disintegrated in his hands, exposing her completely to his view.
Melanie felt her skin grow warm as a blush slowly crept over her
body. She watched as Kane’s eyes traveled
down her body, taking note of the way they darkened with desire as he gazed
upon her. She didn’t think she had ever
felt more helpless or vulnerable as she did at the present moment. The way Kane was staring at her made her
feel like he was about to make her his next meal but her restraints left her
absolutely powerless to stop him.
Kane wrapped his large hands around her bare waist, slowly running them
up her stomach until he reached the underside of her breasts, Melanie squirming
beneath him helplessly as the feel of his rough, calloused hands on her
delicate skin made her flinch. Then he
cupped her breasts in his hands, brushing his thumbs across the nipples,
smirking with amusement when they hardened into tight little peaks despite the
fear that was flowing through her body.
Catching her off guard again, he squeezed the soft mounds roughly,
causing Melanie to cry out in pain beneath him. Frantically, she began to strain against her bonds again,
twisting her body to try and free herself from his grasp. Hearing the sound of the metal scraping
against the wood, Kane raised his head and glared at her, giving her a silent
warning not to test his patience.
Reluctantly, Melanie stilled her movements, closing her eyes as she
tried to block out the pain.
Thankfully, Kane quickly released his hold on her, moving to lay down
over her again as he palmed her right breast, pinching the sensitive nipple
between his fingers before dipping his head to take it into his mouth.
Melanie gasped out loud, her body jerking in response to the contact and
she began to struggle again briefly, until she felt his teeth biting into her
tender flesh.
“Ow…that hurts!
Stop…Kane…please!” she cried, once again trying to squirm her way out of
his grasp. But Kane continued to ignore
her pleas, adding more and more pressure until he finally felt her body go limp
beneath him.
As he released his painful grip on her, Melanie collapsed back onto the
mattress, sobbing with anger and fear as she realized what he was trying to do
to her. He wanted her to submit to him
completely. He would be satisfied with
nothing less. As long as she continued
to fight him, he was going to make this as painful for her as he possibly
could.
Willing herself to try and block the thoughts from her mind, Melanie
remained as quiet as possible as Kane continued to torment her breasts, his
mouth moving from one to the other as he used his teeth and tongue to stimulate
her. Then she felt his hand on her
stomach, gliding across the flat surface before moving lower to cup her denim
covered mound and it took every ounce of her control to keep herself from
fighting him again.
Pulling his body from hers, Kane kneeled between her parted thighs,
watching the tears flow from Melanie’s eyes as he unfastened the button and
lowered the zipper on her pants. Then,
despite her cries of protest, he tugged the material down her hips, removing
her jeans and panties in one swift movement.
Spreading her legs farther apart, Kane slid his hands up the silky skin
of her inner thighs toward her naked sex, using his fingers to open the
delicate folds to his view. Then
running his fingers up and down her exposed slit, Kane let his eyes wander back
to her face, watching her reactions to him with much amusement. With her eyes tightly closed and her jaw
firmly clenched, he could tell that it was taking every single ounce of her
control for her not to protest his actions.
“Look at me Melanie.” he murmured, an evil smirk crossing his face as
she slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze.
“I want you to watch me while I …taste….you.” he added, loving the way
her eyes widened in surprise as he lowered himself onto the bed.
Keeping his eyes locked on hers, Kane wrapped his arms around her
thighs, forcing her to keep them parted as his tongue darted out to lap at
her. With every stroke of his tongue
his could feel the muscles in her legs tensing, growing tighter as the urge to
push him away became even stronger.
Ignoring her body’s silent protests, Kane delved deeper into the soft
folds and found the small bud that was buried within them, roughly lapping at
the sensitive bead as he felt her body jerk beneath him in response.
As she stared into his cold, angry eyes, Melanie felt the heat from her
embarrassment spreading throughout her body, almost unbearable in its
intensity. The fact that she was being
forced to watch this man touch her so intimately left her humiliated beyond
belief. She’d never even been this bold
with her husband before, let alone with a complete stranger. And the fact that this man was her husband’s
most hated enemy made the situation that much worse.
Feeling his tongue come in contact with her clit, Melanie gasped and
closed her eyes, her hips involuntarily thrusting upward against him. Embarrassed even further by her body’s
response to his touch, Melanie turned her head, praying that he would soon put
an end to her torment.
Kane watched as Melanie turned away from him again and he tightened his grip
on her legs, warning her not to push him away.
Raising his head slightly, his lips brushed against the soft skin of her
inner thigh as his deep voice broke the uncomfortable silence.
“Look at me… Mel. Don’t make me
hurt you anymore than I have to.” he warned, pleased when she did as he asked
and met his gaze again.
Forcing herself to look him in the eye, Melanie cringed at the sound of
her name on his lips. Mel. That was a nickname that only her husband
used. He was the only person who ever
called her that.
Her husband. Where was her
husband? Melanie wondered if he was
searching for her right now…if he knew she was with Kane…if there was any way
he could possibly help her.
“Please find me Shane. Help
Chapter 6
Satisfied that he had her full attention once more, Kane dipped his head
and resumed his exploration of her body.
Sucking her clit into his mouth, he flicked his tongue across it
rapidly, his rough movements causing Melanie to buck beneath him involuntarily
as she tried to ease some of the unbearable pressure. Her body was completely unprepared for his brutal onslaught, the
sensitive nerves unable to withstand such prolonged stimulation.
Enjoying the whimpers and pleas that were coming from her lips, Kane
continued to torment her, using his finger to tease at her tight opening. Slipping it barely inside, he would feel her
body tense in anticipation of his invasion and he would poke at her for a few
brief moments before withdrawing it completely. He repeated the process several more times…teasing her…keeping
her on edge as she waited for the real assault to begin. After a while his touch began to have less
of an effect on her and he felt her let her guard down and he took the
opportunity to thrust his finger home, using the thick digit to stroke at the
walls of her tight passageway.
At his intrusion, Melanie cried out in pain and surprise, bringing her
feet up to his shoulders as she tried to shove him away from her. His previous threats long forgotten, she
knew she couldn’t let him take her so easily.
Even if he won in the end, at least she hadn’t gone down without a
fight. However, her burst of energy was
short-lived as Kane knocked her feet away and repositioned his body so he could
use all of his limbs to keep her legs restrained. Her last bit of protection stripped away, Melanie was rendered
completely helpless beneath him once more.
Subdued yet again, Melanie began to sob…begging Kane to stop…pleading
with him to let her go. Once again
ignoring her protests, Kane continued to glide his finger in and out of her
body, surprised when he felt the slight bit of moisture that was beginning to
gather there. Turning his gaze back to
her face, he felt his body tighten with arousal as all of the new possibilities
flooded his mind.
So Shane’s pretty little wife like it rough. Well, rough was something he certainly could manage. If that’s what she wanted, then that was
exactly what he’d give her.
Much to Melanie’s relief, Kane withdrew his finger, releasing his grip
on her as he climbed from the bed. He
made short work of the wrestling tights he was still wearing from earlier that
evening, his eyes never leaving hers as he stripped naked before her. Unable to stop herself, Melanie let her eyes
travel down his body, another wave of panic coursing through her when she saw
the size of his obvious arousal.
Remembering her earlier thought about still being alive after the rape,
she had to admit to herself that maybe she had been wrong. Watching the way his huge cock continued to
swell before her, she knew he could easily tear her body apart.
In one swift movement, Kane pounced back on the bed, forcing himself
between her legs with ease despite her best efforts to stop him. Pressing his weight into her, he wrapped his
hand around his throbbing member, positioning himself at her entrance. Then with one quick and brutal thrust, he
buried himself to the hilt inside of her, pausing only briefly to regain his
control as he felt her warmth surround him.
The trace amounts of her wetness weren’t enough to prevent his assault
from being sufficiently painful, but the force of his attack was so strong and
sudden that it left her completely breathless and unable to protest his
actions.
Drawing back, Kane began to ride her hard, his hands grabbing roughly at
her breasts as he buried himself over and over again inside of her. Finally finding her voice again, Melanie
cried out with each stroke, the feeling of fullness inside of her almost more
than she could bear. She tugged
frantically on her restraints as she tried once more to free herself, the sharp
edge of the metal cutting into the delicate skin of her wrists. She twisted and pulled with every ounce of
strength she could muster, until the fatigue in her arms and shoulders got to
be too much for her to stand.
Collapsing back onto the bed, she closed her eyes and tried to block out
Kane’s low grunts of pleasure as he rutted into her.
Melanie prayed that he would be finished with her quickly but it wasn’t
long before she realized that it just wasn’t going to happen. She didn’t know how he had managed to gain
such complete control over his own body, but it was becoming obvious to her
that he wouldn’t give himself over to the pleasure until he was good and
ready.
While Kane seemed to have his body under control, Melanie had no such
luck. Much to her horror, she felt the
first flickers of heat begin to course through her abdomen, the feel of his
thick cock sliding in and out of her growing more pleasurable with every
stroke. He was so huge that he couldn’t
help but caress every nerve ending in her tingling sex and it was slowly
starting to drive her out of her mind.
Hearing the change in her breathing, Kane tangled his fingers in her
hair, forcing her to face him again as his lips descended on hers. Pulling back he stared down into her eyes,
taking note of the way her body was beginning to respond to him.
“Feel good baby?” he growled out between thrusts as he bent to nuzzle
her neck. “Do you like having my big
cock inside of you?”
“No...stop….please….” Melanie ground out on a soft moan, the sound of
her voice betraying the pleasure she was truly feeling.
“Bet your husband doesn’t fuck you like this… does he Mel?” Kane added
as he continued to taunt her.
At the mention of her husband, Melanie felt her heart constrict. She couldn’t…wouldn’t….betray him like
this. She had to find someway to
fight…for his sake.
Steeling her resolve, Melanie tightened her body as she tried to stave off
the powerful sensations that were steadily working their way through her
loins. However, Kane was not about to
make things easy on her and he slipped a hand between their joined bodies,
using his fingers to stimulate her now-swollen clit as he thrust even deeper
inside of her.
Tossing her head from side to side, Melanie tried to ward off the
intense new sensations, finally giving in to the pleasure as it continued to
spread throughout her body. She began
to grind her hips upward to meet Kane’s thrusts, moaning when she felt his
speed quicken.
He moved deeper and harder within her, the unexpected sounds of her own
lust spurring him on. Feeling her body
begin to tighten around him, Kane knew she was getting close to her release and
he redoubled his efforts, feeling his balls tighten in anticipation of his own
impending climax.
Panting harshly, Melanie braced herself for the wave that was about to
hit. She teetered on the edge…so
close…..
Withdrawing from her body, Kane roared as his climax hit, his large hand
stroking his shaft as his warm seed spilled onto the flat surface of her
stomach. Beneath him Melanie twisted
and jerked, her own release abruptly cut off, her own needs unfulfilled.
“NOOOO!” she wailed, arching her back off of the bed as she pressed
herself into him, trying to find the additional stimulation she needed to
satisfy her own hunger.
Gasping for breath, Kane smiled down at her, using his hands to pin her
hips to the bed, being careful to not touch her lower body in any way.
“Please…Kane…touch me…please.” she panted, thrusting her hips against
him.
With a laugh, Kane shook his head, leaning over her as he stared deep
into her eyes, loving the look of desperation on her face.
“Tsk tsk. What would Shane say
if he knew his sweet, innocent wife was begging another man to fuck her? Somehow I don’t think he’d be very happy to
hear about that, do you?” Kane murmured as he let his hand wander to her
breast, rolling the nipple between his fingers, teasing her already overloaded
nerves.
Melanie arched toward his touch, trying to force herself deeper into his
hand, the sensation of his hands on her body going straight to loins.
Abruptly, Kane pulled his hand away, crawling from the bed as he bent
down and picked up a tattered piece of her shirt to clean himself off.
“We couldn’t do that to poor Shane O’Mac, now could we? No, I think I’ll just leave you alone for
awhile and let you think about what you’re begging me to do. I’m sure you’re come to your senses…eventually.”
he chuckled, before he turned and disappeared back into the shadows from which
he came.
Frustrated, Melanie began to cry again, wishing there was someway she
could touch herself and finish the job that Kane had so cruelly started.
From his hiding place in the darkness, Kane watched her struggle, his
cock already hardening again when he thought about taking her again. As miserable as she was now, her torment was
only just beginning.
Watching as she struggled to sit up in the bed, Kane couldn’t help but
smile. Ah yes….she was definitely going
to be a lot of fun!
Chapter 7
It took a lot of maneuvering, but somehow Melanie managed to shift her
body into a sitting position. Resting
her temple against the wooden headboard, she examined the metal cuffs that were
still fastened around her wrists, testing them for any weakness that might let
her escape.
Although her body still throbbed with need, it was less incessant than
before, finally allowing her to clear her head so she could think straight
again. She berated herself to no end
when she realized what had almost happened…what she had almost done. She was actually starting to be grateful to
Kane for stopping when he did, although she knew the sick bastard had enjoyed
the fact that she had begged him to touch her.
“Where are you Shane?” she murmured, giving up her fight with the
handcuffs and closing her eyes as the fatigue began to take over her body.
It had been a long time since she had slept. It had been late when she last remembered being at the arena and
although she had lost all track of time since then, she knew it had to be in
the early hours of the morning. She was
tired. Her body ached. She needed sleep.
“You can’t go to sleep.” she warned herself, not wanting to be caught
off-guard if Kane came back.
“I won’t go to sleep.” she argued with herself as she stretched out on
the bed once more. “I’ll just…rest….for
a few minutes. That’s all. Then I’ll be fine.”
With that thought in mind, she closed her eyes and snuggled into the
pillow, and before long her breathing evened out as she drifted off to a
restless slumber.
***************
Hours later, Melanie awoke, wincing in pain at the soreness in her arms
and shoulders, which were still restrained over her head. Her muscles ached horribly from being held
in the same position for so long.
Somehow she had managed to roll onto her side while she slept, and she
shifted in the bed as she tried to get more comfortable, stiffening when she
felt her back come in contact with something hard. She quickly moved to pull away but Kane’s large arm suddenly
gripped her around the waist, pulling her back against him.
“All rested and ready for Round 2?” he chuckled, his body responding
instantly to her struggles.
“NO! Get away from me!” Melanie
shrieked when she realized with growing horror that she had done exactly what
she had warned herself against. She’d gone to sleep and let down her guard,
allowing Kane to sneak up on her again.
Remembering what had almost happened during the last assault, she
continued to struggle with him, although she already knew she was fighting a
losing battle. But still, she had to
try and defend herself in some way…otherwise she feared that it might just
happen again.
Pulling her into his chest, Kane draped one of his large legs over both
of hers, effectively stilling her movements.
Then he dipped his head and brushed his lips down the side of her neck,
as he tightened his grip around her waist.
“Seems to me you don’t have much choice in the matter.” he murmured,
reminding her of the precarious position she was in.
Sliding his hand up her stomach, he cupped one of her breasts, teasing
the nipple into erectness.
“You son of a bitch! Let me go!”
she yelled. “You’ve already gotten what
you wanted! Just leave me alone!”
Kane chuckled softly.
“Oh no. I’m just getting started
baby. I have so much planned for
you…..”
Unable to move, Melanie lay helplessly beside of him, having no choice
but to feel his rough hands fondle her body again. He continued his manipulation of her breasts, moving from one to
the other as he plucked at her nipples, keeping them hard. Then, sliding his hand down her stomach and
across her hip, he dipped his finger in between her tightly closed legs,
despite her best efforts to keep him out.
Pressing his finger farther into her folds, Kane was surprised to find
her still damp from their earlier encounter.
Taking advantage of the natural lubricant, he wet his finger, then
pulled it back, making sure it brushed against her sensitive clit, grunting in
pleasure when he heard her whimper.
If his hunch was correct, her body would still be on edge from the
earlier torture he’d put her through and he intended to take that bit of
information and use it to his full advantage.
Returning his finger to her clit, he began to rub in circles,
stimulating the small bud into erectness as Melanie squirmed in her bonds.
“Stop…Kane…please! Don’t…please
don’t.” she pleaded, sensing his intentions, knowing she was helpless to stop
him.
Kane chuckled softly, blowing his breath across her ear.
“You don’t really want me to stop, do you? Not after the way you begged me to fuck you earlier. You know you want this Mel. Just stop fighting me and let it happen.”
Despite her protests, Kane soon had Melanie panting and whimpering in
pleasure beneath his titillating fingers.
No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t ignore the wonderful
tension that was building within her.
Her body began to take on a life of its own and before she knew what was
happening, she was thrusting her hips against his hand, opening herself up
wider to his caresses.
Rolling her onto her back, Kane pressed himself against her body,
letting her feel his obvious arousal as he stroked her. Bending his head, he claimed her lips,
kissing her deeply, stroking her tongue with his, in time with his finger. Working his way down her neck and chest, he
moved to her breasts, sucking one of the taut nipples in his mouth, swirling
his tongue around it as she continued to thrash about on the bed.
Hearing the way her breath was starting to hitch, Kane knew she was
getting close to the point of no return.
Moving back up her body, he murmured to her softly.
“Does that feel good Mel? You
want me to make you cum?”
‘Oh God…yes!” she moaned, feeling her body grow tighter with his every
touch. “Please…hurry…faster!”
Kane smiled, obviously pleased with her response.
“Then tell me. Tell me what you
want. Tell me you want to cum.” he
replied.
Melanie whimpered, struggling to force the words past her lips.
“Please….make me cum…please…”
Kane chuckled again, the vibrations shaking the mattress beneath her.
“Hmmm. I don’t think I’m ready
to do that just yet.” he replied, removing his hand and pulling away from her
again.
“No…don’t stop! Please don’t
stop!” she pleaded frantically, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes as
she watched him crawl from the bed.
“Kane ….please..!”
Ignoring her cries, Kane sauntered over to the corner of the room,
settling himself into a chair as he watched her struggle to relieve the burning
pressure inside of herself.
Jerking hard against the cuffs, Melanie squirmed in agony, her need
reaching unbearable levels. If she
didn’t achieve some type of satisfaction soon, she thought that her body would
implode from the built up tension.
Thoroughly aroused by the site of her struggling before him, Kane slid
his hand down his stomach to enclose it around his already throbbing cock and
boldly began caressing himself in front of her. He watched as Melanie caught sight of him again, her eyes widening
when she saw what he was doing. Her
eyes locked on his hand, mesmerized by the way it slid up and down his shaft,
exciting her already overheated body, the fact that he was giving himself the
pleasure that he had so cruelly denied her only adding to her frustrations.
“Please…Kane. Don’t leave me
like this again….please.” she begged, hoping that he would finally take pity on
her and end the unbearable torture.
But Kane ignored her plea, the desperation in her voice exciting him
even more. He moved his hand faster on
his cock, his eyes never leaving her face as his breath became uneven, his own
climax growing closer with every stroke.
Suddenly, he tossed his head back and gave a loud groan, his body
jerking and shuddering as the orgasm ripped through him, his seed erupting from
his cock and spilling onto his stomach.
Collapsing back into the chair, he gazed toward Melanie again, watching
her through half-closed eyes as her chest rose and fell with the heavy
breathing of her own arousal.
Once his breathing returned to normal and he regained the strength in
his limbs, he rose from his seat and quietly left the room, once again leaving
her to suffer alone in her dark and solitary hell.
Chapter 8
Unfortunately for Melanie, her torment did not end anytime soon. Over and over again, Kane would come to
her…touching and teasing her until she thought she would lose her mind, always
pulling away before she could find her own release. And he enjoyed every moment of the torture, knowing that he was
slowly driving her insane. He knew that
it wouldn’t take much more to break her completely…to make her submit to his
every demand.
Breathing hard, Melanie watched as Kane reemerged from the shadows for
yet another time, eyeing her body hungrily as he stalked towards her. She felt her body tense in anticipation
before he even reached her, already knowing what was coming.
She cursed herself for being so weak…for not being able to resist the
pleasure that he so cruelly inflicted upon her. She was married…she loved her husband dearly….she had no business
enjoying sex with this man. But it
would only take a few strokes of his fingers or tongue and she would be
writhing in ecstasy beneath him again, begging like a common whore for him to
fuck her until he made her cum.
Kane crawled back onto the bed, covering her small frame with his larger
one, pressing her body into the mattress…holding her still…as the torture began
yet again.
She gasped when she felt his warm mouth enclose around her nipple,
arching into his touch as he used his tongue to stimulate the hardened
nub. He teased one breast, then the
other, even as his hand wandered between them to once again stroke at her
now-tender and very swollen clit.
Already tightly wound from the prolonged torment, it didn’t take long
for Melanie’s overheated body to reach the breaking point again. Kane positioned himself between her parted
legs, pressing the head of his massive cock into her damp folds, coating his
shaft with her wetness.
“Is this what you want Mel? You
want me to fuck you like this?” he asked, pressing himself a little deeper
inside of her.
“Yes.....” was the only reply she could manage to squeak out.
“Then say it. Tell me to fuck
you. I want to hear you say the words.”
he demanded.
“Fuck me…please….I want you… to fuck me…” she gasped, feeling his
fingers on her clit again, keeping her on edge.
“And how do you want it baby?
Nice and slow….or do you want me to take you hard and fast?” he
murmured, bending down to nuzzle her neck as he whispered in her ear.
“Hard….fast….Kane please!” she whimpered, the anticipation nearly
driving her mad.
Smiling, Kane pulled back, grabbing her hips as he pressed himself into
her once more. Then with one powerful
thrust, he drove himself home, burying his shaft deep inside her body. As she wanted, he began to ride her fast and
hard, his thick cock filling her with every stroke. Melanie cried out with each thrust, her voice a mixture of pain
and pleasure, her wetness not enough to ease the discomfort of his violent
entry. Her mind delirious with need,
she managed to block out the pain, concentrating instead on the wonderful heat
that was radiating from her loins, quickly spreading throughout the rest of her
body.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, she locked her ankles behind his
back, hoping that it would hold him to his task. She knew she wouldn’t be able to take it if he stopped again now.
Kane smirked when he felt her legs tighten around him, sensing what she
hoped to accomplish. But he had no
intentions of stopping. Not this time. This time he wanted her to cum. He wanted to feel her body surrender to
him. He wanted to possess her completely.
Feeling her inner walls begin to close tighter around his shaft, he
quickened his pace, focusing his eyes on her face as she groaned in pleasure
beneath him.
“Oh God…Kane…..that feels so good.” she moaned, her hips rising to meet
his every thrust. “Just don’t
stop….please God….don’t stop!”
Grunting from his effort, Kane began to slam into her wildly, rocking
her body hard with each thrust. Then he
felt her body begin to spasm around his and he pushed her over the edge,
allowing her to finally achieve the release she had so desperately sought.
Melanie cried out as the first wave hit, her back arching off of the bed
so hard Kane thought it might actually snap in two. Her walls clamped down on him tightly, milking his shaft, urging
him toward his own wonderful release.
Satisfied with her complete and total surrender to him, Kane allowed
himself to finally take his own pleasure, burying himself to the hilt inside of
her as his seed spilled from his body in hot rush.
Despite the weakness in his limbs, Kane managed to hold himself above
her, wanting to watch her face as she came back down to earth…wanting to see
the realization of what she had done hit her full force.
He lowered his head, trailing a path of kisses down her jaw line toward her
ear.
“How was that Mel? Was that good
enough for you? Did I fuck you hard
enough?” he murmured, as he felt her body slowly coming back to life beneath
him.
“Hmmm….wonder what dear ‘ol Shane would have to say about what just
happened? Somehow, I don’t think he’d
be too happy if he found out about it, do you?” Kane taunted, watching the pain
of his words distort the look of contentment on her face.
Still trapped beneath him, Melanie turned her head, not wanting him to
see the tears that filled her eyes. She
felt lower than low. She’d just
betrayed her husband in the worst most possible way. She’d given herself to the one man he hated more than anything
else in this world. Melanie wondered
how she’d ever be able to face him again after what she had done.
“Don’t worry Mel. If your
husband doesn’t want you anymore, then I’ll help keep you satisfied. After all, you seemed to enjoy my touch so
well….”
Kane laughed as he withdrew from the bed, casting her one last glance
before disappearing back into the shadows.
Still tied helplessly to the bed, Melanie began to sob as Kane’s words
ran through her mind.
What would happen when Shane
found out what she had done? Surely, he
wouldn’t be so angry that he would be willing to end their marriage. Not when Kane had forced her here to be with
him in the first place.
No, Shane wouldn’t do that to her.
He loved her. He would stand by
her no matter what might have happened here in this room. He would protect her and keep her safe….if only
she could get back to him again.
“Where are you Shane?” she whispered, longing to be held in his arms
once again. “Please…help me.”
Unable to stop the tears that were now running down her cheeks, Melanie
rolled to her side and buried her face in the pillow and began to sob, her
tears staining the gasoline-soaked fabric.
Eventually, the wave of emotion passed and she closed her eyes, letting
the sleep take over her exhausted body once again.
Chapter 9
“Mel? Are you okay? Wake up, Mel. Talk to me.”
The feel of someone shaking her pulled Melanie from her sleep and she
opened her eyes, surprised to find herself staring up into her husband’s face.
“Shane? Is it really you? You’re really here?” she murmured.
“Yeah baby. It’s really me.”
Shane replied, reaching out to tenderly stroke her face, frowning when his gaze
traveled down the rest of her body, noticing the bruises that marred her
perfect skin. “My God Mel, what did he
do to you? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine now that you’re here. Please
help me. You have to get me out of here
before he comes back.” she pleaded.
“He won’t be coming back Mel.
He’s gone. He can’t hurt us
anymore.” he replied.
As if testing his words, Melanie moved her arms, surprised when she
discovered they were no longer bound.
Lunging forward, she threw herself onto Shane’s lap, clinging to him as
he held her close.
“I’m so sorry Shane. I didn’t
mean to do it. I tried to stop
him. Please don’t be mad at me…”
“Shhh. It’s okay Mel. This wasn’t your fault. You’ve got nothing to be sorry about.” he
murmured, stroking her back soothingly.
Melanie cringed at his words.
How would she ever tell him? How
would she ever make him understand?
Pulling back, Melanie stared up into his face.
“Shane…I have to tell you what happened…”
Placing his finger against his lips, he silenced her.
“Don’t worry about that right now.
Let’s get you home and get you checked out first. I want to make sure you’re okay. Then we’ll talk…alright?”
Nodding her head in agreement, Melanie moved from his lap, letting Shane
help her to her feet.
“Come on baby. Let’s get out of
here.” he stated, taking her hand as he led her across the room.
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
The angry voice took them by surprise and Melanie shrieked when she
glanced toward the doorway and saw Kane standing in their path. Equally shocked, Shane stared at the big man
as he pulled Melanie behind him to protect her.
“Surprised to see me there, Shane O?” Kane laughed before his face
darkened. “You should know by now that
it’s going to take a lot more than you to keep me down.”
Without warning, Shane suddenly charged at Kane, spearing him in the
stomach and knocking the big man off of his feet. Standing over him, Shane began to throw punches, not aiming, just
striking Kane wherever he could make contact.
Deflecting the majority of his blows, Kane reached up with his right
hand and grabbed Shane around the throat, keeping him at bay while he regained
his footing.
Tightening his grip, Kane picked Shane off of his feet and tossed him
across the room, his body crumpling to the floor when it made contact with the
wall.
“No! Shane… get up! Please!” Melanie cried, rushing to his side
to help him.
Kane watched her for a moment before he moved in on them, jerking her up
roughly by the arm as he pulled her away from her husband’s unconscious body.
“Say goodbye to your precious husband.” Kane growled as he pulled
Melanie out of the room. “It’ll be the
last time you ever see him alive.”
Glancing back toward his lifeless form, which was quickly fading from
her view, Melanie screamed for him to help her.
“Don’t worry Mel. You’ll be just
fine without him. After all, you’ve got
ME to protect you now.” Kane chuckled, tightening his grip on her arm as he
drug her away….
Chapter 10
Opening her eyes, Melanie looked frantically about her, searching for
Shane. The now-familiar smell of
gasoline hit her full force as it wafted up from the disheveled covers beneath
her, and she glanced down at them in confusion, finally coming to the
realization that she was still lying in the same bed as before. Looking above her, she noticed that her
hands were still cuffed to the headboard and she felt her heart sink when she
realized what had happened.
It had all been a dream. Shane
hadn’t come to help her. She was still
all alone.
Despite her disappointment, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of
relief. At least if Shane wasn’t there,
that meant he wasn’t hurt. For that
much, she was grateful.
As she glanced around the room, a movement in the shadows caught her
attention, and she watched with growing trepidation as Kane emerged from the
darkness, once again approaching her helpless form.
He stopped beside the bed and glared down at her for several long
moments, before he leaned over and unlocked the metal bonds that had held her
for so long. Grabbing her roughly by
the arm, he jerked her from the bed, pulling her across the room towards the
doorway in the corner.
Shoving her inside, he flipped on the light, revealing a small but
efficient bathroom.
“You’ve got ten minutes. Make
them count.” That was all he said to
her before he turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Hearing the sound of the lock being turned on the other side, Melanie
glanced around the room, immediately noticing that there were no windows
through which she could make a quick escape.
Searching through a few of the cabinets, she became even more
discouraged when she couldn’t find anything that she could use as a weapon
against him. He’d obviously thought to
remove everything from the room before he left her there alone.
Realizing that she was quickly running out of time, she used the toilet,
then turned on the shower and stepped under the spray, moaning as the hot water
soothed her aching body. Knowing she
didn’t have time to waste, she began to scrub herself hard, washing away the
scent of gasoline from her skin…removing all traces of Kane from her body. She worked quickly, wanting to be done
before he came back for her again.
Even as she turned off the water and stepped out of the tub, she heard
the familiar click of the lock, barely having enough time to cover herself with
a towel before he walked in on her.
Taking in the sight of her standing before him, Kane felt his body start
to respond.
“Drop the towel. I want to look
at you.” he commanded, causing Melanie to look up at him in surprise.
She opened her mouth to protest, but quickly thought better of the
idea. He’d already seen her naked
anyway, his hands and lips invading her most intimate places. There would be no point in her resisting him
now.
Letting the towel fall to the floor, she blushed when she saw his eyes
travel down her body, taking all of her in.
Even though he’d seen her naked like this before, it didn’t make things
any less uncomfortable for her. She
closed her eyes and turned her head away, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.
Kane took a few steps toward her, closing the distance between
them.
“Put this on.” he stated, handing her the large shirt that he held in
his hand.
Grateful for finally having something to wear, Melanie snatched the
garment from him and unfolded it, quickly slipping it over her head to cover
herself. It was a large shirt,
apparently meant for a man of his size and it fell almost to her knees,
thankfully hiding the majority of her body from his lustful gaze. Seeing Kane’s smirk of approval, Melanie
glanced down at the front of it, grimacing in disgust when she saw what was
written on the front. Apparently, he’d
had it custom made, patterned after one of the WWE’s old shirts. But where the original shirt had “PROPERTY
OF THE WWE” written across the front, this one had “PROPERTY OF THE BIG RED
MACHINE”.
Rolling her eyes, she moved to take it off, but Kane quickly reached out
to stop her.
“No. Leave it on.” Kane ordered, closing his hand around her
wrist. “It suits you rather well….don’t
you think?”
Pulling on her arm, Kane led her back into the bedroom, guiding her over
to a small table in the corner and forcing her down into one of the wooden
chairs. Taking note of the two candles
that were burning in the center of the table, she flashed him a fearful glance
as he settled himself in the chair across from her. More fire. That
definitely wasn’t a good thing. She
wondered what he intended to do to her this time.
Taking note of her confusion, Kane reached behind him and retrieved two
Styrofoam boxes, placing one of them on the table in front of her. Hesitantly, Melanie reached out and slowly
opened the box, bracing herself for whatever might be inside. Knowing Kane, it had to be something
horrible. It had to be something
completely evil. It had to be…..Chinese
take-out?
“Candlelight dinner. That’s what
lovers do, right Mel.” Kane stated, before digging into his own food.
Ignoring his remark, Melanie stared back down at her food, wondering if
it was safe to eat. She hadn’t realized
how hungry she actually was until the smell hit her. As if on cue, her stomach rumbled loudly.
“Eat!” Kane demanded, causing Melanie to jump at his voice. “Don’t worry. The food is completely safe.
You should know by now that poison is not my chosen method of demise.”
Melanie stared at him for a brief moment, before she picked up her fork
and stabbed at a piece of the meat, tasting it cautiously before shoving it
into her mouth. Much to her surprise,
she found that it was very good and she quickly devoured the rest of her meal,
stopping only when she felt her stomach ready to burst.
Stealing a brief glance in Kane’s direction, Melanie was surprised that
he’d bothered to feed her at all. She figured
it would be right up his alley for him to let her starve and make her beg for
food. Then the new thoughts invaded her
mind and she felt the pit begin to form in her stomach. Maybe he didn’t want her to starve. As long as he fed her he could keep her
alive. And as long as she was alive….
Melanie tried not to think about what it all meant. But much to her growing horror, she realized
that Kane apparently had more planned for her then she could have ever
imagined.
Chapter 11
Once she was finished with her dinner, Melanie shoved the remainder of
her food to the side, quickly taking note of the fact that Kane was staring at
her again. Following his gaze, she
realized that he was looking at the wedding rings she was wearing on her left
hand. Hiding her hand in her lap, she
watched as he pushed his chair back from the table and stood to his full
height, before walking over to her.
“Give me your hand.” he ordered, extending his own hand out to her.
Melanie stared at his outstretched hand as he towered over her, but made
no move to obey his command. It would
be a cold day in hell before she let him take away the rings that Shane had so
lovingly given her on her wedding day.
“Melanie…give me your hand.” Kane repeated, the tone of his voice
warning her that his patience was starting to wear thin.
Still, Melanie made no attempt to answer him. Instead, her eyes darted about the room, quickly trying to take
everything in as she weighed her options for escape. She couldn’t bear the thought of being trapped in the same room
with this man for another minute.
However, Kane obviously had other plans. Angered by her lack of response to him, he grabbed her wrists and
jerked her up out of the chair, before dragging her back across the room toward
the bed.
Seeing where he was headed, Melanie began to fight him with every ounce
of strength she had, trying to wrench her arms free from his painful grip. She knew once he got her tied down to the
bed again, any chance she might have for escaping would be gone.
“No! Let me go! Get away from me!” she yelled. “Damn it Kane…STOP!”
Her arms rendered useless in his tight grip, Melanie instead used her
legs for protection, somehow managing to get in a couple of hard kicks to his
shins as he drug her across the floor.
But instead of deterring him, her actions only seemed to anger him
further, and he threw her down on the bed in a fit of rage, pulling the t-shirt
off of her before reaching for the handcuffs that were still attached to the headboard.
Rolling to her stomach, Melanie scrambled to get away, trying
desperately to climb off the other side of the bed. Dropping onto the mattress, Kane shoved one of his knees hard
into the small of her back, causing her to cry out in pain as he pinned her
beneath him. Catching her left hand, he
ripped the rings from her finger before he placed one of the handcuffs securely
around her wrist, then flipped her onto her back as he secured her other wrist
with ease, even as she continued to scream and curse at him.
“Stop it Kane! Give those back
to me you son of a bitch! They belong
to me!” she yelled, watching helplessly as he slung the rings across the room
into one of the darkened corners.
Once he had her restrained, Kane laid down over her, pressing his body
into hers to still her movements.
“It seems as though you’ve forgotten about our little agreement.” he
growled, as Melanie glared back at him.
“Go to hell.” she spat angrily, challenging him. “I’m tired of playing your sick games.
Kane grabbed her roughly by the chin, forcing her to look him in the
eye.
“You know what happens if you go back on your word.” he warned.
“I don’t care anymore.” she cried, tired of his threats…tired of
him. “You can’t hurt me anymore than
you already have. Just do whatever
you’ve got planned and get it over with.
I’m through being afraid of you.”
Kane stared down at her for a long moment, as he contemplated her words.
“So….you’re not afraid of me anymore, huh Mel? You think you’re tough enough to handle whatever I’ve got planned
for you, hmmmm?” Kane sat up on his
knees and grinned, nodding his head.
“Well, maybe you are…..”
Melanie kept her eyes fixed on Kane as he climbed from the bed.
“Maybe you are….” he repeated as he walked away.
Staring after him in shock, Melanie couldn’t believe that he was just
going to drop things so easily. She’d
expected him to tear her apart after she’d challenged him like that. Then she thought about the way he’d grinned
at her and she suddenly grew uneasy.
His reply had been calm….too calm for her liking. Something definitely was not right.
She watched as Kane stopped next to the table, where they had been
eating only minutes before. She could
see him fumbling with something there, but with his back to her, she couldn’t
really tell what he was doing. Then she
saw him turn towards her again, and she felt her heart stop.
“So, you think you’re tough, do you Mel? Think you’re strong enough to handle whatever I throw your way?”
Kane repeated, as he came closer.
Shaking her head, Melanie found herself trying to scoot toward the
opposite edge of the bed, even though her arms were still tied above her,
hampering her movements.
“Well then, let’s find out…shall we?”
Kane stated calmly, as he climbed back onto the bed and straddled her
waist. “Let’s see just how tough you
really are.”
Melanie stared up at him in horror as he lifted the burning candle and
held it above her body.
“Let’s give you just a little taste of what’s yet to come.” he murmured,
tilting the candle slightly so that a small drop of the melted wax fell onto
her chest, inches above her right breast.
Feeling the hot liquid burn into her skin, Melanie closed her eyes and
bit her lip hard, fighting the urge to cry out. She refused to make a sound.
She would not give him the satisfaction.
Another drop of the melted wax landed on her other breast and her body
jerked in pain, but still she remained quiet, hoping that Kane would soon grow
bored with her lack of response. But
rather than disappoint him, her silence only served to challenge him further
and he continued the cruel torture, letting drop after drop of the molten
liquid fall onto her delicate skin
“Fire…is such a wonderful thing…isn’t it Mel?” Kane murmured, as he
waved the candle over her, watching as the flame flickered in the slight wind.
“So quiet….so painful.. so deadly.
It’s so….perfect.” he stated, as he let another drop of the hot liquid fall
onto her body.
Trying hard to ignore his ramblings, Melanie fought to remain still
beneath him, her lip bleeding from where she had bitten it so hard. It was getting harder and harder to fight
the pain and she could feel her resolve starting to crumble. The trail of wax he was leaving across her
body was steadily moving downward and she knew if she didn’t submit to him
soon, the pain was only going to get worse.
Seeing the tears that were leaking from her tightly closed eyes, Kane
stretched out beside of her, facing her, as he continued to hold the dripping
candle over her helpless form.
“So tell me Mel…are you still feeling tough? Still think you can handle it?” Kane taunted, as he let more of
the wax fall onto her bare stomach.
A small whimper escaped Melanie’s lips, then she was quiet once more.
“I still have one more candle to go.” he added, pausing for a moment,
letting her know that he was no where close to being finished. “Unless of course… you want me to stop.”
“Is that what you want Mel? Do
you want me to stop? Have you had
enough?” he asked, as he watched her tremble.
Finally giving in to the pain, Melanie began to sob.
“Yes…please stop….please…stop…” she choked out, so quietly that Kane
almost didn’t hear her.
Smiling at his victory, Kane placed the candle beside of the bed. Then turning back to her, he cupped her face
gently in his hands.
“Does that mean that you’re not going to fight me anymore?” he asked, as
he lowered his head and nuzzled her throat.
Nodding her head, Melanie solemnly agreed.
“Yes…” she whispered, her eyes filling with fresh tears. He’d won.
She’d had enough. She couldn’t
take anymore.
“Good.” Kane replied, murmuring as he brushed his lips against
hers. “Now that we’ve reached an
understanding….let’s see if I can make some of your pain go away.”
Chapter 12
Melanie whimpered as Kane kissed her deeply, his arms sliding around her
to pull her close to him. Breaking the
kiss, he let his lips wander across her jaw and down her neck, as his hands
began to caress her body. After several
moments of his renewed explorations, Melanie felt his hand sliding up her arm
toward her wrist and her body stiffened involuntarily.
Pulling back, Kane stared down at her.
“I want …to feel you… touch
Feeling it pulse at the contact, Melanie jerked her hand away for a
moment, before a stern look from Kane stopped her. Swallowing hard, she placed her hand on him again, letting her
fingers skim up and down his hardened length as she tried to work up the
courage to do as he had asked. However,
Kane was obviously already pleased by her actions as he moaned in pleasure at
her touch, bending to claim her lips in another fierce kiss.
“That feels so good Mel.” he murmured, as he moved to her ear, letting
his tongue trail along the outer rim.
Melanie could feel him swelling in her hand, growing even larger as she
continued to caress him. Closing her
eyes, she tried to focus her mind somewhere else, trying to block out the
horror of what she was being forced to do.
Once again, she thought about Shane, hoping that he was still searching
for her…hoping that he was finally getting close to finding her. At the moment, those thoughts were the only
thing keeping her sane.
The sound of Kane’s voice brought her back to the moment, his hand
closing over hers as he urged her to stroke him faster.
“Harder…” he groaned, as he lowered his head and sucked one of her nipples
into his mouth, causing her to gasp in surprise.
Knowing she had no choice but to obey him, Melanie continued to stroke
him, even as his lips and hands began to wander across her own body, working
their way into those forbidden places that somehow seemed to make her lose
every ounce of control. No matter how
hard she tried to resist, he somehow always seemed to know just how to get to
her.
Melanie felt Kane shift in the bed beside of her, easing himself from
her hand as he rose onto his knees.
Grabbing her by the hips, he deftly flipped her over, settling her onto
her own knees as he eased in behind her.
Slipping his cock between her parted legs, he rubbed himself against
her, letting her wetness thoroughly lubricate him. Then grasping his cock in his own hand, he guided it to her
entrance, letting it slip into her slightly as he gripped her hips.
Grabbing one of the pillows from the bed, Melanie buried her face in it,
trying to brace herself for what was about to come. She knew it would be painful.
She knew he would not be gentle with her. And she knew, with a growing sense of dread, that he would make
her enjoy it.
With one sharp thrust, Kane drove himself home, holding her hips to his
body as he pulsed deep inside of her.
Melanie’s muffled scream of pain broke the silence of the room, her body
desperately trying to adjust to the depth of this new penetration. Without slowing down, Kane began to thrust
in and out of her at a wild pace, the feel of her warmth surrounding his hard shaft
driving him to the edge of insanity.
Beneath him, Melanie could already feel the fire starting in her belly,
growing in intensity with every stroke of his massive cock. Her body was betraying her yet again, giving
in to the pleasure that his touch elicited in her. Grunting above her, Kane increased the speed of his thrusts,
releasing her hips as one of his hands wandered around to her stomach, then
inched lower as he slipped it between her slick folds, his fingers seeking out
the small nub that was buried inside.
“Cum for me Mel.” he growled, as
his fingers went to work on her clit.
“I want to feel you cum for me again.”
Overwhelmed by the new combination of sensations, Melanie began to ride
his hand, pressing herself back into him as he continued to pound away inside
of her. The pressure was already
starting to build inside of her and with his fingers tugging so incessantly on
her clit, she knew she wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.
As the first waves of pleasure hit her, Melanie tossed her head back and
cried out, her body shaking with the force of her climax. Feeling her body spasm around his, Kane
gripped her hips tightly, giving only a few more quick thrusts before following
her over the edge.
Growling out her name as he climaxed, Kane collapsed on top of her,
forcing her back onto the bed. Trapped
beneath his massive weight, Melanie struggled to breathe as she slowly came
back down to earth.
Hearing her gasping for air, Kane withdrew from her and rolled to his side,
spooning in behind her as he pulled the covers over their bodies.
Melanie stiffened again when she realized his intentions. This time, he wasn’t going to leave.
“Get some rest Mel.” Kane murmured, as he wrapped a large arm around her
waist, securing her in place. “Trust
me…you’re going to need it.”
At his words, Melanie cringed beside of him. It was going to be a very long night.
Chapter 13
Melanie sighed as she stepped into the shower, the hot water helping to
soothe away all of her aches and pains.
Tilting her head back, she closed her eyes, letting the water splash
across her face before it ran down behind her to thoroughly soak her hair.
Picking up the bottle of shampoo, she worked it into a rich lather
before running her hands through her hair, taking her time as she ran her
fingers over her scalp. Then rinsing
the soap from her head, she moved on to the rest of her body, washing herself
carefully as she tired to avoid the many colorful bruises that were gradually
starting to fade away.
Pausing for a moment, she examine the scars on her wrists, which had
been badly cut and bruised by the sharp metal edge of the handcuffs that Kane
had used to keep her restrained for those first few days.
Those first few days. Melanie
cringed when she remembered all of the pain and suffering she had been forced
to endure during that time. At least
things were better now….
Yes. She was still here.
One day had turned into two, two into three, three into four. Somewhere along the way, the days had turned
into weeks, and still, there had been no sign of Shane.
Melanie sighed again as his name crossed her mind. It seemed like it had been so long since she
had last thought about him. After weeks
of wondering where he was…why he hadn’t come for her….she’d finally stopped
thinking about him altogether. She’d
forced herself to forget about him as easily as he’d apparently forgotten about
her.
Melanie shook her head as she rinsed the soap from her body. She wouldn’t let herself dwell on it
anymore. The damage was done. It was all in the past. And there wasn’t a thing she could do to
change it.
Turning off the water, she stepped out of the tub and dried herself off,
wrapping the thick towel around her as she headed back into the darkened
bedroom. Bending over the small pile of
clothes in the corner, Melanie rummaged through them as she tried to find
something to wear.
Although it wasn’t much, Kane had finally given her some old t-shirts
and sweat pants to help protect her from the constant chill of the room. Of course, that had been after he had
threatened her with fire again, reminding her of how easily the candles had
seemed to warm her. Thankfully, he
hadn’t pursued that line of action, sparing her body from more of the
excruciating pain. But she could tell
by the gleam in his eye that it had disappointed him sorely to do so.
Picking out one of the shirts from the pile, Melanie stood to put it on,
jumping when she heard a deep voice break the silence.
“Melanie….”
Startled for a moment, Melanie turned and glanced in the direction of
the sound, noticing that Kane was stretched out on the bed, naked, stroking
himself into erectness as he watched her.
Dropping the shirt back onto the floor, Melanie approached the bed,
coming to rest beside of him.
Kane’s eyes devoured her body as he watched her drop the towel and climb
onto the bed, settling herself between his parted legs. Without a word, she bent and took him in her
mouth, using her tongue, along with a light sucking motion, to please him just
the way he liked it.
Kane smirked as he watched her pleasure him, admiring his
handiwork. After those first few days,
she had been very easy to break. His
threats had served their purpose, helping to convince her to go along with
whatever he might happen to suggest. As
the weeks passed, the threats had gradually gotten to be less and less,
eventually disappearing altogether. He
simply didn’t need to use them anymore.
She’d learned her lesson…and she’d learned it very, very well.
Kane titled his head back and groaned, tangling his fingers through her
hair as Melanie began to suck him harder, her tongue caressing the underside of
his sensitive shaft, as she moved to cup his balls in her hand, stroking them
gently as they grew tighter.
Moaning again, Kane tugged on her hair, pulling her away from him.
“I want you to ride
Nodding her head, Melanie straddled his waist, easing herself down onto
his massive erection.
Kane groaned in approval when he felt her already wet for him. That was one part of her lesson that she had
learned very quickly. He wanted her to
always be slick and ready for him, willing to please him at a moments
notice. To not meet his demands meant
for some very…painful….interaction. But
fortunately, Melanie had decided that she was more fond of the pleasurable side
of things and she had since learned how to make things good for the both of
them.
Bracing her hands on his chest, Melanie began to move faster on him,
grinding her hips down into his as she sought out her own release. Kane moved to cup her breasts, brushing his
thumbs across her hardened nipples as she rode him hard.
Feeling her body begin to tighten around him, Kane slid his hands down
to her hips, holding her still as he began to thrust upward into her. Keeping his eyes on her face, he watched as
she threw her head back, crying out in pleasure as he finally pushed her over
the edge. Then feeling his own orgasm
start, he thrust hard into her one last time, holding her hips tightly against
his body as he emptied himself inside of her.
As the last of the waves began to fade, Kane collapsed back onto the
bed, releasing his hold on her hips.
Falling forward, Melanie braced herself against his chest again, as she
tried to regain the feeling in her tired limbs. She jumped when she felt Kane grip
her upper arms, pulling her down to lay on top of him.
Smoothing the hair back from her face, Kane tilted her chin so that she
was looking up at him.
“Very nice, Mel. I’m
impressed. I think you’re finally
ready..”
Melanie cast Kane a confused look, but offered no response.
“Yes…it’s time.” Kane repeated, his eyes taking on a distant look as he
gazed up at the ceiling.
“Tomorrow night….the fun will begin….”
Chapter 14
Shane sat dejectedly in the corner of the locker room, his head buried
in his hands, his stomach aching with worry.
His wife…his sweet, beautiful, loving wife was missing…had been missing
for weeks. He had no idea where she
was, if she was okay, even if she was even still alive. There had not been a sign of her anywhere
since the night she had disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to block out the guilt that was eating
him up inside. His wife was gone and it
was all his fault. He’d failed in his
duties to protect her. He’d let down
his guard one time too many and she was the one who had paid the price.
“I let her down.” he murmured quietly, berating himself for ever letting
her out of his sight. If only he’d let
her stay with him…if only he’d been more careful...
Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Shane looked up at his uninvited guest,
watching as the other man settled onto the bench beside of him.
“Dude, you look awful.”
“Thanks Rob.” Shane replied sarcastically, trying to muster up enough
energy to produce a fake smile but failing miserably.
“How long has it been since you’ve actually gotten a good night’s
sleep?” Rob asked, taking note of the dark circles under Shane’s eyes.
“I haven’t.” Shane answered,
rubbing his face. “I’ve barely slept a
wink since this whole thing started.”
“Still no sign of her?” Rob
inquired, although he already knew the answer.
Shane shook his head.
“No. And I’ve looked
everywhere. I’ve had police detectives
out in full force. I’ve had security on
alert at all of the arenas. I’ve hired the
best private investigators that money can buy…all without any success. I don’t know what else to do. It’s like she just disappeared off the face
of the earth.”
Rob nodded his head sympathetically.
Looking toward Shane once more, his heart went out to him. He could only imagine the pain that he
suffered over these past few weeks. To
have your wife just disappear without a trace…without knowing where she was or
what had happened to her. Rob didn’t
know how Shane had managed to cope with it all.
He knew if it had been his wife, he would have lost it a long time ago.
“I guess there’s been no sign of Kane either, huh?” Rob asked, when he
spoke up again, watching as Shane clenched his fists at the sound of the man’s
name.
“No. But I swear when I do find
him, I’m going to kill that worthless son of a bitch if it’s the last thing I
do!” Shane replied, letting all of his
pent up frustration rise to the surface.
There was no doubt in his mind that Kane was the one responsible for
Melanie’s disappearance. It made him
sick to no end to think of his poor, helpless wife being held captive by such a
cold-hearted monster. He could only
imagine the fear and the torment that Kane had probably put her through. But he swore, with every breath left in his body,
that before this whole thing was over with, he would make Kane pay for
everything that she had been forced to endure.
Hearing the anger in his voice, Rob couldn’t help but echo Shane’s
sentiments. It had taken him a long
time to come to terms with the fact that his former tag team partner had turned
into such a cruel and horrible person.
He’d stood up for Kane for so long, taking up for him against all those
who had doubted him. But in the end,
his undying support had nearly cost him his life. The night that Kane had threatened to set him on fire, Rob had
seen firsthand the anger and hatred in his eyes. For the first time, he had seen Kane as he really was…a sick and
demented human being who thrived on causing others so much pain…and that vision
alone had terrified him. Knowing what
Kane was capable of doing, Rob prayed that Melanie would be alright.
“I don’t know what to say man.”
he finally replied, looking over at Shane once more. “I just hope you find Melanie soon. I hope you bring her home safe and sound.”
“Don’t worry Rob. I will.” Shane
replied, nodding his head. “I have to.”
He couldn’t let things turn out any other way.
************************
Stepping through the unguarded back entrance of the arena, Kane glanced
around to make sure that he was alone before pulling Melanie inside behind
him. It was still early in the
afternoon and the backstage area was virtually empty, giving them the perfect
opportunity to sneak inside without being seen.
Keeping a tight grip on her arm, Kane led Melanie through the maze of
corridors, searching until he found an empty room hidden in one of the less
crowded parts of the building. Ushering
her into the room ahead of him, Kane closed and locked the door, before
brushing back the hood of the large sweatshirt he was wearing. Sitting his bag on the floor, he turned in
Melanie’s direction, watching her as she took in her surroundings. Stalking towards her, he removed the hood of
her own sweatshirt, admiring the way her long hair spilled down onto her
shoulders. Cupping her face in his
hands, he forced her to look him in the eye.
“You know what’s expected of you tonight, don’t you Mel?” he asked, watching as she silently nodded
her head.
“You know what you’re supposed to do?” he repeated, wanting to make sure
that she understood exactly what he wanted her to do.
“Yes.” she replied softly. “I
understand.”
“Good.” Kane replied, studying her reaction for a moment, before his
brows drew together in a frown. Tightening
his grip on her chin, he watched as her eyes widened in pain.
“You just make sure you do exactly as I say.” Kane stated coldly, before
releasing his hold on her.
Raising his hand, he brushed a few loose strands of hair from her face,
before trailing his fingers down her cheek.
“Don’t disappoint me Melanie.” he warned as he looked her in the eye
again. “I promise you won’t like the
consequences.”
Chapter 15
Pacing back and forth in his locker room, Kane worked on putting the
finishing touches on the plans that he had so carefully thought out. He wanted to make sure things went
perfectly. No mistakes. No half-finished jobs. Tonight, he wanted things done and he wanted
them done right. Tonight, he wanted to
destroy Shane McMahon once and for all.
Finally taking a seat on the couch, he glanced at Melanie, who was
sitting quietly in the corner, her head down, her eyes fixed on her hands which
were twisting nervously in her lap.
Gazing up at the clock on the wall, Kane smiled. He had plenty of time to kill before the
show began. He might as well use it to
have a little fun.
“Melanie…” he growled, his deep voice breaking the silence of the room.
Lifting her head, Melanie gazed at him for a moment before she stood
from her chair and approached him.
Kane watched as she stopped in front of him, pausing uncertainly as she
waited for his next command. Reaching
out, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down onto the couch so she
was straddling his legs.
“Lose the shirt.” he ordered, his eyes roaming over her as she slipped
the heavy garment from her body.
Raising his hands to her chest, he ran his palms over her breasts,
teasing the nipples into erectness through the lace material of her bra. Feeling her squirm slightly in his lap, he
pulled his hands away and studied her for a moment.
“Take that off too.” he demanded, as he pointed to her bra, watching as
she reached behind her and unhooked the snaps, shrugging the material from her
shoulders.
Bringing his hands back up to cup her bare breasts, he felt her arch her
back, leaning harder into his touch.
Feeling the way she moved against him, his lips curved into a
mischievous grin. Maybe it wouldn’t
hurt to test her resolve one last time before he set his plan into motion, just
to ensure that she would be willing to do whatever he asked of her. If any last minute reminders were in order,
he wanted to make sure he got them out of the way now, before things too
hectic.
Grabbing both of her wrists, Kane guided her hands to the back of the
couch, so they were resting on either side of his head.
“Keep your hands right there.” he ordered, as he slipped his arms around
her to pull her close. “I don’t want
you to move. I don’t want to hear a
sound. I want you to remain absolutely
still. Understand?”
“Yes.” Melanie replied softly, shivering when she felt his warm hands on
her back, wondering what kind of torture he had in store for her this
time.
Kane didn’t keep her wondering for long. Leaning forward, he flicked out his tongue, barely connecting
with the tip of her nipple. Feeling her
body tremble at the fleeting contact, Kane paused for a moment and flashed her
a warning glare. When he was satisfied
that she was going to remain still, he repeated the process, first on one
nipple then the other, making sure that his tongue barely touched her with each
pass, admiring the way they hardened into tight little buds even with the
slightest touch.
Even though the torture had just barely begun, Melanie was already
delirious with need, struggling hard to fight the urge to arch against him and
make him take her deeper into his mouth.
Then he did, and she had to bite her lip hard to keep herself from crying
out at the unexpected and pleasurable sensations.
Watching as she fought to maintain her control, Kane continued the
torment, lavishing both of her breasts with attention, feeling her body tense
even more with every stroke of his tongue.
Then suddenly he stopped, shifting his weight and grabbing her around
the waist as he lifted her from his lap and flipped her on her back onto the
cushions. Moving to cover her body with
his, he grabbed her hands and lifted them above her head, pinning them there.
“Not a sound.” he reminded her, before ducking his head to continue his
assault on her breasts.
Her body already aching with desire, Melanie’s breath quickened when
felt Kane’s hot mouth moving lower, toward the waistband of her jeans. Sensing where things were headed, her mind
began to race frantically as she tried to figure out how she was going to cope
with the torture. There was no way she
could ever keep still while he did THAT!
It would drive her out of her mind!
On the verge of tears, Melanie knew she had no choice. To disobey him meant that she would suffer
the consequences…and she knew they would not be pleasant. She would just have to find some way to make
it through the torment and hope she could be strong enough to satisfy his
demands.
As he removed the remainder of her clothes, Kane stared down at her
prone form, taking note of the desperation in her eyes. He could see her contemplating his next
move. He could see the fear as she
tried to determine how she was going to maintain her composure. And he found that having that kind of
control over her was more arousing than anything he had ever known before.
Feeling him part her thighs, Melanie clamped her eyes tightly shut,
bracing herself for the contact. She
could feel his breath against her wetness, his fingers stroking the smooth skin
of her inner thigh. Then she felt his
tongue press against her clit, and the impact was like an electric shock
coursing through her body. But somehow,
she managed to stay still, the whimpers dying off in her throat before they
could escape from her lips.
Feeling her desperation mount, Kane continued his cruel game, teasing
her with long, slow strokes of his tongue, increasing the pace when he heard
her breathing grow more erratic. He
could feel every muscle in her body quivering as she strained to keep still,
her body coming closer and closer to betraying her with each passing minute.
Beneath him, Melanie grew more frantic as the sensations began to
intensify. She could feel her orgasm
building inside of her, and she tossed her head from side to side as she fought
the urge to thrust her hips against his torturous mouth.
“I can’t stand it!” she thought to herself, knowing that at any moment
he would send her crashing over the edge…knowing that she would be unable to
remain still as the wonderful pleasure rushed through her body…knowing that she
would be forced to endure what ever punishment he saw fit to inflict upon her
for her disobedience.
Sensing how close she was, Kane stopped his ministrations, crawling back
up her body, until he was face to face with her. Melanie fought to hold back a groan when he left her teetering on
the edge, not sure whether to be upset or relieved that he had stopped. Then she felt the head of his swollen cock
probing at her entrance and her panic flared anew, knowing that once he got
inside of her, she wouldn’t be able to hold out any longer.
Pressing himself against her, Kane could feel her arousal. He could feel how badly she wanted to just
let herself go and enjoy the pleasure he was so cruelly inflicting upon
her. With a low groan, he settled
himself on top of her and lowered his mouth to her ear.
“Are you ready for me Mel? You
want me to take you now?” he whispered huskily, as he left a trail of soft
kisses down the side of her neck.
“Yes…please…now.” she moaned, grateful that he’d finally let her break
the silence.
“Are you sure?” he teased, pressing himself deeper into her, letting her
feel the strength of his own arousal.
“Yes….Kane….please!” she whimpered again, as she tried to get him to
move.
Without offering a response, Kane drew back and gave a hard thrust,
entering her roughly as she cried out in surprise. He quickly settled into a rhythmic pace, feeling Melanie tremble
beneath him as she tried to hold herself back, fighting the urge to meet his
thrusts as he moved in and out of her warm sheath.
“It’s okay Mel. You can let
yourself go now.” he murmured, guiding her legs around his waist. “I want to hear you. I want to feel you cum for me again.”
She didn’t have to be told twice.
Tightening her legs around him, Melanie began to eagerly move with him,
her own body rushing headlong toward a powerful orgasm.
“Talk to me Mel. Tell me how
good it feels. I want to hear you.”
Kane growled out, his own voice heavy with pleasure.
“Oh….Kane…please…” she whimpered, her clouded mind barely able to form
the words he so desperately wanted to hear.
“Please what, baby?” Kane replied, closing his eyes when he felt her
tight passageway begin to clutch at his own pulsating member. “Tell me Mel. Talk to me….don’t make me stop.”
“No…please don’t stop.” Melanie gasped, tightened her grip around his
waist. “Please…I need more. Faster…harder….just… please… don’t stop!”
Encouraged by her words, Kane increased his pace, slamming into her over
and over again as he felt her body arch off the couch, pressing upward against
him as he carried her over the edge.
The feel of her climax triggered his own, and he buried himself to the
hilt inside of her, his big body shuddering in pleasure as his own release
washed over him.
Collapsing on top of her, Kane held her close as his breathing calmed,
enjoying the feel of her body still wrapped tightly around his own. Feeling her shift slightly beneath him, he
raised his head and glanced down at her, surprised to see her gazing back at
him.
Fearfully, Melanie searched his eyes, searching for any sign that might
indicate that she had failed to please him.
She did not wish to be on the receiving end of his wrath again.
Sensing her fear, Kane soothed away her worries.
“Don’t worry Mel. You did just
fine.” he murmured, brushing a few wayward strands of her hair from her
face.
“Just like you’ll do tonight.” he added after a moment, staring down at
her wistfully. “I have faith in you
Mel. I know you won’t let me down, will
you?”
“No.” Melanie whispered softly, trembling as Kane smiled down at her.
“I know you won’t.” he stated calmly, before turning his gaze to the
clock on the wall.
Taking note of the time, he reluctantly pulled himself from her body and
stood from the couch, before turning to gaze back down at her.
“It’s time Mel.” he stated as he offered her his hand, pulling her to
stand beside him. “Let’s go get ready.”
Nodding her head, Melanie watched as Kane headed toward the shower,
hesitantly following in step behind him.
Remembering his plans and the role she was expected to play, she
couldn’t help but wonder what kind of horrible things the night would bring.
Chapter 16
Melanie gazed at herself in the full length mirror, barely recognizing
the person who was staring back at her.
It seemed like the first time in forever that she had actually taken the
time to examine herself and she was startled by what she saw in her
reflection.
She’d lost weight…quite a bit of weight, actually…although she didn’t
think she really looked bad, just…different.
And her hair…it was considerably lighter now. Kane had demanded she keep it that way. He said it made her skin look darker…more exotic. She wasn’t so sure about that part, but she
didn’t dare voice her disagreement with him.
Her hair color wasn’t worth the punishment she knew he would dole out if
she were to anger him again.
With a soft sigh, she let her eyes wander further down her body,
examining the clothes that Kane had instructed her to wear. She was dressed in a red leather top, which
laced up the front and barely contained her ample breasts, and a pair of black
leather pants that hugged every curve of her lower body as if they were a
second skin. Topping them off was a
matching pair of black boots and most degrading of all, a black leather choker
with Kane’s name written in red stitching across the front. Staring at the thick strip of leather that
adorned her neck, Melanie brought her hand to her throat, fingering the letters
that signified Kane’s possession of her.
“You look beautiful Mel.”
The sound of Kane’s voice startled her, and she turned to face him, her
eyes traveling over his bare chest as she took in his new wrestling attire.
“You changed your costume.” she said softly, surprised to see his new
look.
“I did.” Kane replied, picking up a strand of her hair and running it
through his fingers. “I thought it was
time for a change. I think it’s time
for a lot of things to change, don’t you agree Mel?”
Flashing him a confused look, Melanie tried to figure out exactly what kind
of “things” he was talking about. But
before she could offer a reply, a loud noise echoed throughout the building,
causing her to jump as she glanced toward the door. Kane chuckled softly, his eyes lighting up at the sound of the
pyro that signaled the beginning of the show.
The moment that he had been waiting for was here. His time had finally arrived.
Taking Melanie by the arm, he led her back into the main area of the
locker room, to the monitor that he had swiped earlier that day from another
room. Tapping the screen, he turned and
faced her, forcing her chin up so she looked him in the eye.
“It’s time Mel. It’s time to put
our little plan into action.” he murmured, his eyes traveling over her face as
he searched for any last minute indecision.
“You know what’s expected of you.
Don’t let me down Melanie. I’m
counting on you. If you cause me to
fail tonight, then I promise… I’ll make you suffer more pain than you ever
thought possible.”
Swallowing hard, Melanie nodded her head in agreement. She knew all too well that he would make
good on every one of his threats if she didn’t comply.
Glancing at the monitor, Kane smirked when he saw Chris Jericho
introducing Christian, who just happened to be that week’s guest for the
Highlight Reel.
“Looks like its time for me to crash the party.” he quipped, looking
back at Melanie once more.
“Watch for your cue.” he stated as he headed for the door. “And Melanie…don’t cross me. I’m warning you.”
Then he was gone, leaving Melanie to stare at the empty doorway for
several long moments before she turned her attention back to the monitor,
holding her breath as she waited to see what would happen.
*************************
On the opposite side of the building, Shane remained hidden away in the
corner of the locker room, trying to keep his eyes open and focused on the
monitor as the show began.
“Oh, great. As if it isn’t hard
enough to stay awake already.” he mumbled when he saw Chris Jericho standing in
the ring, microphone in hand.
Sitting on the floor in front of him, Rob snickered at Shane’s remark,
as he stretched and loosened up his body in preparation for his own match.
“Who’s idea was it to give that man his own talk show anyway?” Shane
asked, shaking his head as he reclined back in his chair and closed his eyes.
“Dude, I don’t know but you really ought to find out who it was and fire
them. They must really be a poor judge
of talent. If anybody around gets to
have his own talk show, then it should be me…Mr. Monday Night
himself…R-V-D.” Rob replied with a
laugh.
Tuning out the sound of Jericho’s voice, neither man paid much attention
to the monitor as they continued with their conversation. Taking note that Shane was close to falling
asleep, Rob gathered his things and prepared to wander out into the hallway,
wanting to give the younger McMahon a chance to catch up on some much-needed
rest.
Rising to his feet, he headed toward the door, but the sudden explosion
and the familiar sound of the music blaring over the speakers stopped him dead
in his tracks. He turned back toward
the monitor and watched with a mixture of awe and horror as Kane appeared at
the top of the ramp and made his way down to the ring.
Once the ring was cleared and everybody else was out of the way, Kane
picked up one of the abandoned microphones and began to pace, gathering his
thoughts as he listened to the mixture of cheers and jeers that echoed from the
audience around him. Then pausing in
the middle of the ring, he raised his head and stared up at the entrance ramp
as he brought the microphone to his lips and began to speak.
“The last time that I was in this ring, you people saw Shane McMahon
sacrifice his body in order to beat me.
You saw Shane McMahon raise his hands in victory as he left me lying
here in a pool of my own blood. You saw
Shane McMahon… turn his back on me as he walked away.”
Kane paused as he looked out over the crowd, the jeers from the fans
getting louder as he continued to speak.
“Well, Shane….if there’s one lesson you should have learned by now, it’s
that you never…ever…turn your back on me.
You see Shane…weeks ago, here in this very ring, you thought you
defeated me. You thought that our
battle was over. You thought…that you
had won.”
Kane paused again, smirking when he thought of all the events that had
transpired since that night.
“Well, Shane….you were wrong.” he continued.
“You see Shane, regardless of what you or these people might think, I
was the real winner that night. And the
prize that I won…is something that I think you hold very near and dear to your
heart.” he stated, staring directly
into the camera as he taunted Shane.
“So tell me Shane…have you been missing anything lately?” Kane laughed,
pausing again to let his message sink home.
“Well, don’t be so sad, Shane ‘O.” he continued, his eyes turning back
to the top of the entrance ramp as he waited for Shane’s arrival. “I’ve enjoyed keeping her company for you while
you’ve been gone.”
Backstage, Rob stared open-mouthed at the monitor as he watched the
scene that unfolding in front of him.
Turning to speak to Shane, he was surprised when he found nothing but an
empty chair. Shane was already gone…
already headed toward the ring to confront the man who had made these past few
weeks such a living hell…and in the process, unwittingly setting Kane’s
well-thought out plans into motion.
Chapter 17
Running through the long maze of corridors that led to the main part of
the arena, Shane headed toward the ring, determined to face down Kane one last
time. This time he was prepared to
fight to the end, determined to do whatever it took to get his wife back by his
side.
As he weaved in and out of the people who were milling about in the
hallway, his thoughts traveled back to Kane’s taunting words and he wondered if
any of them were true.
I’ve enjoyed keeping her company
while you’ve been gone.
Those words kept playing over and over again in his mind, fueling his
hatred for the man more than he could have ever imagined. The thought of Kane putting his hands on
Melanie that way was enough to make him sick.
“Maybe it’s just a trick.” he thought to himself, hoping that it was
just some strange plot from Kane’s twisted mind to try and get him to lose his
cool. But all he could do at the moment
was hope that Melanie was somewhere nearby and that she was okay. Once he got his business with Kane out of
the way, then he would go and search for her and bring her home again.
Finally reaching the curtain that led out to the entrance ramp, Shane
didn’t bother to wait for his music or pyro as he rushed out onto the
stage. Charging down the ramp, he felt
his anger multiply when he saw the source of all his misery standing in the
middle of the ring.
Inside the ring, Kane smiled when he saw Shane appear from behind the
curtain. Luring him out of the locker
room had been just as easy as he had suspected. He knew that even the slightest reference to his missing wife
would have him riled and ready for a fight.
Tossing the microphone aside, Kane braced himself for Shane’s
arrival.
Hitting the ring, Shane slid underneath the bottom rope as he went for
Kane. Kane however, quickly moved to
attack him while he was still down, hoping to gain an early advantage. Kicking him hard in the back, Kane knocked
the breath out of the smaller man before he bent down to grab a handful of
hair. But as he pulled Shane up, he was
unprepared for the elbow that was thrown his way, and he staggered backwards as
it connected with his face, forcing him to loosen his hold.
“You son of a bitch! Where is
she?! Where the hell is my wife?!”
Shane screamed as he launched himself at Kane, throwing fist after fist at the
larger man’s frame.
Laughing, Kane put his hands up to try and deflect the blows, finally
getting the opportunity to connect with a fist of his own, which sent Shane
crashing back down to the mat.
“Don’t worry Shane. She’s in a
safe place...waiting for me to come back to her.” Kane taunted, enjoying the
mask of rage that covered the younger McMahon’s face at his words.
Jumping to his feet again, Shane charged Kane once more, this time
succeeding in his attempt to knock the bigger man off of his feet. Straddling Kane’s chest, Shane swung wildly
with his fists, screaming at him with every blow.
“Where is she? What the hell
have you done with my wife?! I swear to
God if you’ve laid one hand on her I’ll kill you, you sorry bastard!” Shane
yelled, as one of his fists connected with Kane’s nose, sending a stream of
blood pouring down his face.
Blocking out the pain, Kane grabbed Shane by the throat with both hands,
jerking him up and tossing him to the side.
Quickly getting back to his feet, Kane saw Shane heading toward him
again, but this time Kane caught him in his arms and slammed him hard to the
mat, forcing the air from the smaller man’s body.
Shane rolled to his side, trying to catch his breath as he struggled to
get up, but a strong blow to his back knocked him down once more. Taking advantage of his weakened state, Kane
attacked Shane with a barrage of blows to his head and back, making sure to
keep him off of his feet, leaving him unable to fight back.
As Shane lay on the mat gasping for air, Kane bent to pick him up,
slamming him once again to mat before he headed to the corner of the ring. Scrambling up to the top rope, he paused
long enough to allow Shane to regain his footing, then launched himself in the
air, taking down the younger man with a brutal clothesline.
Quickly bouncing back to his feet, Kane made a slicing motion across his
throat with his thumb before raising his right hand in the air, flexing his
fingers as he waited impatiently for Shane to stand up.
As he lay beaten on the mat, Shane once again thought of his wife and
how desperate he was to find her. He
wouldn’t…couldn’t…let her down again.
He refused to let Kane win this battle.
He thought again of Kane’s earlier words and the images that they evoked
in his mind were enough to give him the renewed strength he needed to defend
himself.
Seeing Kane move toward him again with his hand in the air, Shane moved
to the side just in time to deliver a low blow, which easily brought the big
man to his knees. As Kane lay writhing
on the mat, Shane rushed from the ring and grabbed a steel chair, knowing that
he would need all the help he could get in his quest to defeat this
Goliath-like monster.
Climbing back into the ring, Shane swung the chair at the back of Kane’s
head, almost smiling at the sound of the contact, watching as the big man
slumped to the mat, grabbing his head in pain.
Without a second thought, Shane followed up with several more blows to
his head and back, stopping only when he noticed that Kane was no longer
moving.
Still not satisfied, Shane tossed the chair to the side, and used his
own limbs to pick up where he had left off with the chair, kicking Kane’s prone
form as he lay motionless on the mat.
Then, thinking that he had finally gained the advantage over the larger
man, Shane paused for a moment to regain his breath as he contemplated his next
move. He wasn’t finished with him
yet. Not by a long shot. He wanted to make sure that when he
everything was said and done, Kane would be out of the way for good, so he
could never harm anyone in his family ever again.
But even as Shane weighed his options, he was caught off-guard by Kane,
who sat up in the middle of the ring, seemingly unfazed by the assault that had
just occurred. Knowing he would have to
move fast if he was going to keep the big man down, Shane responded with a boot
to the face, knocking Kane’s head back down to the canvas, throwing in a few
more kicks for good measure before he glanced toward the corner. Maybe a splash or two from the top rope would
be enough to finally keep Kane down.
Smiling to himself, Shane turned to head toward the corner, the
daredevil inside of him quickly making its presence known. Moments later, he found himself laying flat on
his own back in the middle of the ring, his head throbbing in pain as he stared
up at the roof of the arena. Shaking
the cobwebs from his head, he rose up on his elbows and looked around him,
taking note that Kane was now standing on the opposite side of the ring,
laughing at his sudden misfortune.
Glancing behind him to see what had happened, Shane froze at what he
saw.
“Melanie?” he murmured in disbelief, taking in the sight of her standing
before him, still holding the steel chair in her hand.
Without a response, she raised the chair above her head for a second
time, Shane being too stunned to do anything to help prevent or deflect the
blow. Again and again, Melanie struck
him with the chair, her mind blank with fear as she fulfilled the duties that
Kane had so carefully instructed her to perform. In her trance-like state, she had no clue where she was or even
who she was fighting. All she knew was
that she had been ordered to help Kane defeat his opponent and he was counting
on her to not let him down.
Sprawled out helplessly on the mat, his head throbbing in pain, Shane
fought to remain conscious as he tried to come to terms with what was
happening. Melanie…his Melanie….was
attacking him! Why? What in the hell had Kane done to turn her against
him like that?! How could she do this
to him?
Rolling to his stomach, Shane fought off the darkness that was
threatening to take him, scrambling to his knees as he tried to distance
himself from her continuous assault.
Seeing him move across the mat, Melanie took him down with another
strong blow to the back, then jumped when she felt a hand on her arm. She turned and looked at Kane, who smiled
down at her almost affectionately as he motioned her to the side. Then turning back to Shane, Kane held up
the gas can he had retrieved from beneath the ring and poured the contents all
over Shane’s semi-conscious body.
The splash of the liquid on his skin was enough to bring Shane back to
his senses, his body stiffening when the strong smell of it permeated his
senses. Gasoline. Apparently, Kane was intent on finishing the
job he had started so long ago.
As he emptied the can, Kane tossed it aside, then retreated to the
corner of the ring, leaving Melanie to face her husband alone. Grateful for the moment’s reprieve, Shane
rolled to his back, trying to find a dry spot on his sleeve large enough to
wipe the burning liquid from his eyes so he could see. As he gazed back up at the woman he had
loved for so long, his eyes grew wide when he realized what she was fumbling
with in her hand. Matches! She was trying to light the matches! She was going to set him on fire!
“Melanie.” he called nervously,
trying to get her attention…trying to stop her from doing whatever it was she
had planned.
Ignoring his words, Melanie struck one of the matches, bringing it to
her face as she watched it die out.
“Melanie!” he repeated more urgently, watching as she reached for
another match, striking it in the same way she had the first, the lack of
emotion on her face making her impossible to read.
Scrambling backwards, Shane tried to get out of her reach, watching as
Kane took a step closer to them. He
quickly realized that the big man wasn’t going to allow him to go very far. He had waited too long for this moment to
let him escape now.
Turning his attention back to his wife, Shane watched as she kneeled to
the canvas, leaning over as she guided the burning match to the small puddle of
fuel that had formed in the ring, representing the beginning of the trail that
led directly to him and his gasoline soaked clothes.
“Melanie!” Shane screamed one last time, holding his breath when he saw
her freeze.
Looking up with more than a hint of confusion, Melanie struggled to
remember where she had heard that voice before. It sounded so familiar to her.
It was almost….comforting.
Staring into his eyes, she tried to put a memory with the sound, trying
her best to make sense of everything through her clouded mind.
From his vantage point in the corner of the ring, Kane watched the
events that were unfolding in front of him, his body stiffening when he saw her
hesitate.
“Melanie.” he growled, causing her to turn her head and look at him, his
angry glare warning her that she was about to make a huge mistake.
Glancing from Kane back to the man who was sprawled on the canvas across
from her, she felt another wave of familiarity hit her when he spoke to her
again.
“Melanie? What are you
doing? Are you okay?” Shane asked, taking note of her confusion as
her gaze traveled between Kane and himself.
Struggling to his knees, Shane began to crawl toward her, stopping when
he saw her pull back and stand up.
Out of the corner of her eye, Melanie saw Kane move toward her and she
glanced in his direction just in time to see him get attacked from behind by
Rob Van Dam and the Hurricane. Then she
felt someone touch her arm, and she turned to find Shane standing beside of her
with a concerned look on his face.
“Mel? Are you alright?” he asked
as he pulled her into his arms.
“God…I was so worried about you.
Where have you been? Are you
hurt?” Shane asked, rattling off one question after another as he stood back to
look at her.
Hearing the commotion from behind them, Shane turned and saw Kane
fighting off both Rob and the Hurricane and he quickly grabbed Melanie around
the waist and led her to the ropes, wanting to get her as far away from the
carnage as possible lest something else happen to her.
“Come on Mel. It’s okay. He can’t hurt you anymore.” Shane murmured, as he pulled her to him and
led her up the ramp toward the curtain.
Twisting in his arms, Melanie turned to look back toward the ring, and
she caught a final glimpse of Kane being thrown to mat, as he still tried to
fight off Rob and all of the other WWE stars who had left the safety of the
locker room to come to Shane’s aid.
Then her husband pulled her behind the curtain and Kane disappeared from
her sight and the horrible ordeal that she had suffered through for so long was
finally over.
Or was it?
Chapter 18
Lying awake in his darkened hotel room, Shane propped himself up on one
elbow as he stared down at Melanie, who was asleep in the bed beside him. Gently running the back of his hand down her
cheek, he was relieved to see that she was still sleeping peacefully, although
it had taken a long time to get her there.
After he’d escorted her from the ring, he had taken her straight to
their rental car and driven her back to the hotel, wanting to get her as far
away from Kane as he possibly could.
She’d gone with him willingly enough he supposed, but the ride itself
had been a long one. She hadn’t spoken
one word to him during the entire trip despite the numerous questions that he
had thrown her way.
Once he had finally gotten her back to his room, things hadn’t gotten
any better. Curling up into a ball on
the bed, she had taken a fit of hysterics, her whole body trembling as she
screamed and cried, whether it was from fear or pain he didn’t know. Despite his numerous attempts to calm her,
he had finally been forced to call one of the company’s physicians, who had
promptly arrived at the door of their hotel room with a large dose of sedatives
in tow.
It had taken a while for the medicine to take affect, but Shane had
stayed close by her side, trying his best to soothe her as the drugs worked
their magic. Once she had finally
fallen asleep, he had taken it upon himself to carefully remove her clothes,
replacing them with one of his oversized t-shirts before settling her into the
bed, taking note of the fading bruises that covered her body. Much to his dismay, he realized that Kane’s
remarks had apparently not been just for fun.
He felt his heart constrict when he thought about all of the pain she
had surely suffered at his hands during her long imprisonment.
“I’m so sorry Mel.” he whispered softly as he touched her face again,
wishing there was something more he could do to take away her pain. “I should have been more careful. I should have protected you.”
He watched as her brows drew together in a frown at the contact, sighing
when she turned away from him and rolled onto her side. Giving her a moment to settle down again, he
eased up behind her, wrapping one arm around her waist as he pulled her back
against him. He’d been without her too
long. He needed to feel her in his
arms.
Closing his eyes, he listened to the steady rhythm of her breathing,
letting the sound help soothe his troubled mind. He’d dreamt of this moment ever since the night of her
disappearance. Being able to take her
in his arms and make love to her all night long as he vowed never to let her
out of his sight again…those had been his visions for her happy homecoming. But now that she was actually here, those
visions of happiness just weren’t coming true.
From the response he had gotten so far, it was almost like she didn’t
even recognize who he was, let alone actually be happy that she was there with
him…and it was that thought that disturbed him more than anything else. He didn’t understand how Melanie could have
just forgotten about him so easily. They’d been together for so long. They had shared so many things. How could she possibly have forgotten all of
the time they had spent together?
“It’s all Kane’s fault.” Shane thought to himself, trying to remind
himself that Melanie would have never turned on him on her own.
He didn’t know how Kane had managed to do it but he knew that he was
behind her sudden change in demeanor.
Kane was the reason she had turned on him in the ring tonight. Kane was the reason she had almost set him
on fire. Kane was the reason that their
perfect marriage had suddenly been turned upside down.
“He’ll pay for it all.” Shane thought, as he pulled Melanie to him,
holding her tight.
“I promise baby. I’ll make him
pay for everything he’s done to you.” he murmured, kissing her hair softly as
he held her close.
Content for the moment just to have her back by his side, he pushed all
of the negative thoughts to the back of his mind as he snuggled against her,
grateful that she was finally back safe in his arms. For the first time in weeks, he felt his body actually drifting
toward sleep as all of the excitement and exhaustion finally caught up with
him. Closing his eyes once more, he let
it overtake him, knowing that he would need all of the energy he could muster
to make it through the next few days with his wife.
Chapter 19
“Mel? You in here?” Shane asked
as he poked his head into the study, searching for his wife.
From her seat in front of the window, Melanie gazed up from the book she
held in her lap, flashing her husband a faint smile as he approached her and
took a seat beside of her.
“What are you reading?” he asked, peeking over her shoulder to gaze down
at the title.
“Just something I picked up at the store the other day. I saw it sitting on the shelf and I thought
it looked interesting.” she replied with a small shrug of her shoulders.
“Oh.” Shane replied, as he reached over and brushed a few strands of
hair out of her face.
“Well, Dad called and he needed me to run some papers over to him about
the upcoming pay-per-view. Feel like
going with me? I know he’d love to see
you.”
“I don’t think so.” Melanie answered as she glanced back down at her
book. “I feel kind of tired. I think I’m going to go upstairs and take a
nap while you’re gone.”
“Oh, okay.” Shane replied, unable to hide the look of disappointment
that crossed his face. “Well, if you’re
sure you don’t want to go….”
“I’m sure. I’d really prefer
just to stay here and rest.”
“Okay. You take it easy and I’ll
come and check on you when I get back, okay?”
Melanie nodded her head, closing her eyes as Shane leaned in to kiss her
on the forehead.
“Be back in a little while.” he stated as he got up and left the room,
leaving Melanie to stare at the empty doorway.
Grabbing his keys, Shane headed for the garage where his car was parked,
all of his thoughts on Melanie as he pulled out onto the street and headed to
his father’s office.
The past few weeks had been tough on the both of them, but with a lot of
time and patience things had slowly started to get better. It was still hard at times…like today. Times when she just seemed to keep to
herself, not really wanting to talk to anybody, pushing everybody away. That was the hardest thing for him to deal
with. He missed the closeness that they
had once shared. She had always
confided in him for everything, no matter how small or insignificant of a
matter it was. But now here they
were…his wife had just experienced one of the most frightening ordeals of her
entire life, and she either couldn’t or wouldn’t bring herself to talk to him
about it.
The sad truth of it all was that he still didn’t know what had happened
between her and Kane during the time he had held her captive. She refused to talk about it at all, no
matter how much he begged her to. He
assumed that the memories were just too painful for her to bring up again, but
he wished more than anything that she would finally just open up to him and let
everything out. Maybe once she finally
got everything out into the open, she would be able let go of the past and they
would be free to move forward and work on building a future together.
Lost in his deep thoughts, Shane was surprised when he found himself
already pulling into the parking lot of his father’s office building. Gathering up his papers, he quickly headed
inside, wanting to get his meeting over with as soon as he possibly could. He didn’t want to leave his wife at home by
herself for any longer than he absolutely had to.
*****************
Closing her book, Melanie placed it on the table beside of her and
stretched. All that reading had made
her very sleepy and a nap did sound really good at the moment.
Standing up, she gathered her things and left the room, moving toward
the stairway as she headed toward their bedroom, jumping with a start when the
sound of the doorbell echoed throughout the open foyer.
Turning to look at the door, Melanie hesitantly sat her things down on
the stairs as she went to answer it.
Peeking through the small peep hole, she saw a man dressed in a white
uniform standing on the other side. Frowning
in confusion, she unfastened the locks and opened the door.
“Good afternoon, ma’am. I have a
package here for Melanie McMahon. Would
that be you?” the gentleman asked, handing her the small box.
“Yes. I’m her.” Melanie replied,
cautiously reaching out to take the package from him.
“Good. If you’ll just sign right
here ma’am, I’ll be on my way.”
Nodding her head, Melanie signed the paper that he handed her, then
watched as the man climbed back into his van and drove away.
Shrugging her shoulders, she closed and locked the door, before turning
and heading back toward the stairs.
Collecting the remainder of her things, she once again headed toward her
bedroom, examining the small box she was holding in her hand along the way.
When she reached her room, she placed her things on the dresser,
fumbling with the small package as she walked toward the bed. Taking note that there was no return
address on the outside of the box, she opened the outer carton, surprised to
find an even smaller box tucked away inside.
Pulling it out, she examined the second box in the same way she had the
first, then finally removing the lid, she felt her legs give way and she sunk
down onto the bed when she saw what was inside.
Staring at the contents for the longest time, she finally removed them
with trembling fingers, letting the empty box fall to the floor. Turning the rings over in her hand, she
studied them closely as the tears began to fall. Then slipping them back onto her left hand, she climbed into the
bed, violent sobs racking her body as she cried herself to sleep.
***************************
A few hours later, Shane was back home, his concern immediately peaked
when he noticed how quiet everything was.
Then he remembered Melanie’s remark about taking a nap and he headed up
the stairs toward the bedroom, wanting to make sure that she was okay.
Peering into the semi-darkened room, his gaze immediately fell onto the
bed where he could see her stretched out underneath the covers, still sound
asleep. With a small smile on his face,
he quickly shed his shirt and pants, tiptoeing toward the bed as he planned to
join her there. Stepping on something
hard on the floor, Shane bit back a yelp as he grabbed his foot, bending down
to pick up the foreign object as he cursed under his breath. Holding it up to the light, he stared in
confusion at the small box, taking note of the remainder of the packaging that
was strewn about the floor beside the bed.
Examining each piece as best as he could in the poor light, he searched
for an address as he wondered where it had come from and how it had gotten
there.
Glancing back up at Melanie in concern, he tossed the boxes to the side
as he eased in beneath the covers, eyeing her carefully to make sure she
appeared to be okay. Bringing his hand
up to brush the hair from her face, he was startled to find the wetness that
was still drying on her cheeks. Looking
down at her again, he studied her sleeping form momentarily before glancing
back toward the floor, still confused over what had apparently transpired in
this room since he had been gone. Then
she shifted in the bed and brought her hand up to rest beside her face on the
pillow and the answer to his questions caught his eye. Carefully picking up her hand, the anger
flooded his body as he stared at the rings she had replaced on her finger.
“That son of bitch!” he mumbled to himself, immediately feeling the
panic set in when he thought about Kane getting so close to her again.
Gazing back down at Melanie’s sleeping form, Shane pulled her close to
him, wiping the tears from her eyes, as he held her tight.
“Don’t worry Mel. I won’t let
him near you again.” he whispered to her, as he gave her a gentle squeeze. “I’ll do whatever I have to do to keep you
safe.”
Laying there with her in the dark, Shane stroked her back soothingly as
a plan began to form in his mind.
Drastic times called for drastic measures. At least that’s what his father had always said.
Well, this was certainly a drastic time if there ever was one and when
it came to Kane, drastic measures were the only way to go. Shane knew he had to find a way to get rid
of the monster once and for all. He had
to find some way to beat Kane at his own game.
“I promise you Mel, I’ll make him pay.” he murmured as he felt himself
drifting off to sleep. “By the time I’m
finished with Kane, he won’t be able to hurt you or anybody else ever again.”
Chapter 20
“Hey man! Thanks for coming over
on such short notice! I hope I didn’t
interrupt any other plans.” Shane stated, as he invited his guest into his
home.
“Hey no problem dude! Glad I
could help. Now, where is this
beautiful damsel that is so desperately in need of protection?” Rob replied as
he closed the door behind him.
“She’s in here.” Shane whispered quietly, motioning for Rob to keep his
voice down as they moved through the hallway.
Entering the study, the men found her in her usual place in front of the
window, another book placed securely in her lap.
“Hi Rob.” Melanie stated softly, glancing up at the two men as the
entered the room. Placing her book on
the table beside of her, she stood to give him a small hug.
“Hey, babe. How are you feeling?” Rob asked, returning her embrace.
“I’m fine.” she replied, turning to look at her husband who had moved to
stand beside of her.
“Rob here is going to stay with you for a while this evening while I
take care of some business.” Shane stated, as he gave Rob a hefty pat on his
back.
Melanie rolled her eyes and huffed as she stared back at her
husband. Seeing the look in her eyes,
Shane raised his hands to silence her, hoping to ward off the argument that he
knew was coming.
“Mel, I know we’ve had this conversation before and I know you don’t
like it, but please, just bear with me.
Just for tonight. Please. You don’t know how much better I would feel
knowing that someone is here to watch over you while I’m gone.”
Throwing her hands up in the air, Melanie turned and headed back toward
her seat in front of the window, plopping back down in the chair angrily as
Shane stared after her. Sighing softly,
he followed her across the room, kneeling down at her feet as he took her hands
in his.
”I don’t need a babysitter.” she growled, glaring at him coldly.
“I know you don’t Mel but please, it’s just for one night. You have no idea how important this is to
me.”
Shaking her head, Melanie turned and stared out the window. Reaching out, Shane gently caught her chin
and turned her to face him again.
“I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can. Just please promise me you’ll do this one thing for me and let
Rob stay here with you.”
After a long silence Melanie finally spoke again.
“Fine. But this is the last time
Shane and I mean it. I’m an adult. I don’t need to have someone following me
around all the time.”
“Okay. Last time. I promise.” Shane replied with a smile,
bending to kiss her on the forehead.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.” he stated, before he stood and left the
room, motioning for Rob to follow him to the front door.
Glancing back down the hallway to make sure that she hadn’t followed
them, Shane turned to Rob.
“You don’t have to hang all over her all night long. Give her some space. Let her do her own thing. Just stay close by in case she needs you for
anything, okay.”
“Cool man. No problem.” Rob replied, hesitating for a moment as he
stared down the empty hallway.
“Uh…Shane? Does she have any
idea where you’re going tonight?”
“No. And I want it to stay that
way. I don’t want her involved in this
anymore than she already is.
Understood?”
“Yeah. No problem. Look, just be careful okay? I’d hate to see something bad happen to
you.” Rob replied, shaking his friend’s
hand.
“Don’t worry Rob. I’ll be
fine. You just make sure you keep a
close eye on my wife. Don’t let
anything happen to her.”
“Don’t worry man! She’ll be safe
with me!” Rob replied, as Shane headed out the door.
When Shane was out of sight, Rob closed and locked the door, his face
growing solemn when he thought about what was about to happen tonight. Well, even he had to admit….it couldn’t
happen to a more deserving guy.
Giving a deep sigh, he turned and headed for the living room, flipping
on the TV as he settled onto the couch.
If he was going to be here for a while, he might as well make himself
comfortable.
Reclining back on the sofa, he flipped through the channels before
finally settling on a ball game, intent on giving Melanie her space just like
Shane had asked. Rob knew that she
would know where to find him if she needed anything.
******************
Pulling onto the highway, Shane picked up his cell phone and dialed the
number that he had committed to memory.
“Hey man. I’m on my way.” he
stated, when the voice on the other end answered. “You got everything ready on your end?”
“Good. I’ve got a couple of
things I need to stop and take care of on my way so I’ll meet you there in a
little while. See you then.”
Turning off his phone, Shane smiled as he tossed it into the seat beside
of him. Tonight, Kane would get the
payback that he so richly deserved. And
if everything went according to plan, he’d never know what hit him.
Chapter 21
Flipping on the light switch beside the door, Kane let his eyes wander
around the room as he stepped inside, his gaze automatically traveling to the
bed in the center. He sighed when he
realized what he was doing. He was
still expecting to find her there, even after all this time.
Flipping on the bedside lamp, he sunk down onto the mattress as he
rubbed his face with his large hands, trying to clear his mind. He didn’t need this right now. It was late and he was tired. All he wanted was to climb into bed and go
to sleep.
Grabbing the hem of his shirt, Kane pulled it up and over his head, then
popped the button on his jeans as he bent over to remove his boots and
socks. But as he stood to remove the
remainder of his clothes, he suddenly grew very quiet.
Tilting his head, he tried to figure out what it was that had startled
him. Then he heard it. The sound of running water coming from the
bathroom in the corner. Someone had
turned on the shower.
Kane grinned to himself as he glanced toward the door. It could only be one person. Shane McMahon.
Kane chuckled to himself as he bent down to retrieve the large piece of
lead pipe that he had hidden underneath his bed. The truth was he’d been expecting this moment for quiet some
time. The only surprise was that it had
taken him so long to finally show up.
Turning off the bright overhead light, Kane eased himself up to the
bathroom door, tightening his grip on the pipe as his other hand reached for
the doorknob. Turning the knob slowly,
he carefully eased the door open, cautiously peering inside as he searched for
Shane. Hearing another noise come from
behind the closed curtain of the shower, Kane smiled again as he entered the
room and slowly crept up on his unsuspecting victim.
Raising the pipe above his head, Kane jerked the curtain open, halting
his blow in mid-air when his intruder turned to face him.
“Melanie?” he exclaimed in surprise, quickly glancing behind him to make
sure that it wasn’t some kind of set up.
Looking back at her, his eyes traveled down her body, taking in her nude
form as the water rippled over her soft curves.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, as his eyes settled on her face
once more. “I assumed you would be at
home making up with your…. husband.”
Reaching for her hand as he spoke, he brought it to his face, raising an
eyebrow at her questioningly as he ran his thumb over the wedding rings that
she was still wearing on her finger.
“M…my husband…was…busy tonight.
I thought…maybe…you could use some company.” Melanie stuttered
nervously, what little courage she’d had to begin with dissipating as she took
in the huge man standing before her.
Smirking, Kane let the pipe slip from his fingers, the heavy metal
rattling loudly as it connected with the hard floor. Bringing his hands to the front of his jeans, he made quick work
of his remaining clothes before stepping into the shower with her. Unconsciously taking a step backwards as he
came toward her, Melanie tried not to notice how small the space had suddenly
become. She had almost forgotten how
big he was, his massive frame leaving very little room for her to move as he
approached her.
Sucking in a breath, she closed her eyes when she felt him trail his
fingers gently down her cheek. In the
next instant, she felt the front of her body being shoved into the cold tiles
of the wall, her wrists pinned above her head as Kane pressed himself into her
from behind.
“So…Shane ‘O went off and left his pretty little wife home alone and now
she’s in need of a good fucking. Well,
I think I can take care of that for you, don’t you?” he panted in her ear, as
he slipped his growing erection between her thighs.
Feeling her struggle to free her hands, he landed a sharp smack on her
ass, causing her to yelp in pain.
“Be still, Mel.” he growled, pressing her harder into the wall. “Or have you already forgotten everything
that I taught you. If that’s the case,
then I’m sure I can find a few ways to refresh your memory.”
Tears stinging her eyes, Melanie whimpered then stilled as Kane
tightened his grip on her, as she second-guessed her decision to come
here. She didn’t know why she had been
so foolish…why she had expected anything different than the familiar brutality
that she had endured at the hands of this man.
But somewhere deep inside of her, she felt her body coming alive...
responding to his angry words and rough touch in ways she had never imagined. She found the fear that he evoked in her
with his gruff voice and his sharp commands to be strangely exciting, her body
craving the abuse that he so cruelly enjoyed inflicting upon her. Kane’s touch was nothing like her husband’s
soft and gentle caresses. With Kane it
was purely sexual….purely animalistic…purely gratifying. She needed it. Her body longed for it.
And from the feel of Kane’s arousal pressing against her, she was about
to get it.
Gripping her leg, Kane placed her foot on the ledge of the tub, his
fingers slipping between her parted thighs to hold her open as he eased his
pulsating erection into her from behind.
Embedding himself completely within her, he gripped her hip tight with
one hand as his other hand held her wrists above her, thrusting into her madly
as Melanie cried out with every stroke.
With every pounding movement, her body was pressed even further into the
hard surface of the shower, her breath coming in short pants as she tried to
keep up. Then she felt that wonderful
heat working its way up through the center of her body and her cries turned to
moans as she began to move her hips in rhythm with his, seeking the release
that her body so desperately craved.
“How’s that Mel? Is it good
enough for you? Is this what you
wanted?” Kane growled, as he increased his pace, slipping his hand between her
parted legs to stroke at her swollen nub as he filled her over and over again.
“Oh God…YES!” Melanie cried, tossing her head back and letting out a
long wail of pleasure as her orgasm hit, her body jerking and spasming wildly
beneath his as all of the pent-up tension from the past few weeks escaped from
her body in a mad rush. Seconds later,
Kane followed her over the edge, calling out her name as his own release washed
over him in waves.
Collapsing against her in exhaustion, Kane released his grip on her
wrists, placing soft kisses along her neck and shoulders as he wrapped an arm
around her waist to support her.
“How was that Mel? Is that what
you were looking for?” he questioned, chuckling when he heard her murmur an
unintelligible reply.
“Well, don’t worry baby. There’s
a lot more where that came from.” he breathed heavily, as he nuzzled her damp
skin. “But right now, I think we have
some unfinished business that we need take care of.”
Tightening his grip around her waist, Kane reached behind him to turn
off the water, then bent to scoop her up in his arms as he carried her off to
his bed. Suddenly the prospect of
sleep didn’t seem so inviting to him.
He had too many other things that he wanted to do first.
Chapter 22
Hours later, Kane rolled to his side, gazing at Melanie who was asleep
beside of him. Looking past her, his
gaze wandered to the small table beside of the bed and he smiled when he saw
the remains of the two candles that were lying there, remembering everything
that had transpired that evening since their passionate romp in the
shower.
He had carried her back to the bedroom, depositing her in the middle of
his bed before securing her once again with the handcuffs, not wanting to give
her the opportunity to get away from him again. Much to Melanie’s surprise and horror, he had retrieved the two
candles from his dresser drawer, setting one to the side as he lit the first, holding
it over her body as the melting wax dripped onto her skin. This was the unfinished business that he had
referred to earlier...her punishment for disobeying his orders the last time he
faced her husband.
Her screams of pain had been music to his ears, her pleas going unheeded
as he burned through both candles, leaving no part of her body unscathed by the
scalding hot liquid. By the time he was
finished, she was sobbing so hard she could barely breathe, but Kane had calmly
laid his instruments of torture aside, then stretched out on the bed beside of
her, tenderly kissing away her tears.
Holding her in his arms, he had soothed away her pain, replacing it with
the excruciating pleasure that only his touch could bring. He’d claimed her over and over again, taking
her to heights that she had never known existed, stirring within her a release
so strong that it was almost more than her fragile body could withstand.
Afterwards, he had released her hands, guiding them around his neck as
he pulled her close. And she had fallen
asleep in his arms almost immediately, both physically and mentally drained
after her agonizing ordeal.
Feeling her stir in the bed beside of him, Kane wrapped one of his large
arms around her to pull her close again, soothing her back to sleep as felt his
own exhaustion overtake him. Closing
his eyes, he drifted off to his own peaceful slumber as he wondered what kind
of surprises the morning would bring for them.
*************************
Standing on top of the hill that overlooked the old, solitary farmhouse,
Shane gazed down onto the darkened structure, smiling when he thought of the
unsuspecting man who was sleeping inside.
Despite all of the confusion that had occurred during his last encounter
with Kane, Shane was thankful that he’d had enough wits about him to instruct
one of his private investigators to follow the big man home. If it hadn’t been for the investigator’s
hard work, he would have never known this place was even here. It was in such a secluded area that there
was very little chance of anyone discovering it on accident. It was no wonder he hadn’t been able to find
Melanie while Kane had kept her prisoner here.
Hearing a noise from behind him, Shane turned in time to see two more
men emerge from the darkness. Nodding
their heads in acknowledgement, they moved to stand beside him, all three of
them remaining silent for a moment as they gazed down on the darkened structure
below.
“You sure you want to go through with this?” one of the men finally
asked, looking at Shane.
“I don’t have a choice. I have
to go through with this. It’s the only
way I can protect my family.” Shane replied, returning the man’s stare.
“You brought the money then?” the man responded, watching as Shane
picked up the briefcase that was sitting beside of him and opened it, revealing
several large stacks of hundred dollar bills.
Nodding his head again, the first man turned to his partner and motioned
toward the house.
“You got everything ready?”
“Yeah. I’ve got everything we need
back in the car.” he stated, as he turned to head back to his vehicle.
“Don’t go anywhere.” The first man warned as he turned to follow his
friend. “We wouldn’t want you to try
and skip out on us before you fulfill your end of the bargain.”
Shane laughed softly as he watched them walk away.
“Don’t worry my friend. I’m not
going anywhere. I wouldn’t miss this
for the world.”
Chapter 23
Turning off the TV, Rob sat up and rubbed his face, moaning at the ache
in his head. So much for watching the
ballgame. He’d fallen asleep about
twenty minutes into it, missing nearly the entire thing.
“They probably lost anyway.” he chuckled, tossing the remote aside as he
stretched the muscles in his neck.
Remembering where he was, Rob forced himself off of the couch, prepared
to go in search of Melanie so he could check up on her. As he left the living room and headed toward
the study, he stopped dead in his tracks when he glanced toward the front door
and noticed that it was standing wide open.
“Oh… shit!” he mumbled to himself, as he scrambled down the hallway,
praying that Melanie was still tucked safely away inside her favorite
room.
Rushing into the room, his hopes fell when he saw the empty chair by the
window. Pausing for only a moment, he
left the room and rushed up the stairs, throwing open the master bedroom door
as he glanced inside. There was no sign
of her there either, the bed looking like it hadn’t even been slept in.
“Oh God! Shane’s gonna fucking
kill me!” Rob cursed as he reached for the phone on the nightstand, frantically
dialing Shane’s cell phone number, hoping that he could reach his friend in
time.
****************************
Shane watched as the two men approached the house below him, working quietly
as they circled the structure, leaving a large trail of gasoline behind them as
the moved. Per Shane’s instructions,
they added extra fuel to all of the ground floor exits of the house, wanting to
make absolutely sure that there was no chance for the monster inside to escape.
Finishing up their preparations, the second man headed back in Shane’s
direction as the first man pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it,
taking a few short puffs before tossing it to the ground, igniting the deadly blaze.
From his vantage point on the hill, Shane watched as the fire surrounded
the house, knowing that now it was only a matter of time before Kane was
destroyed for good.
*************************
Opening his eyes, Kane lay absolutely motionless in the bed as he tried
to figure out what it was that had awakened him. Something was wrong…of that much he was certain. But at the moment, he just didn’t know what
it was.
Then the smell hit him.
Smoke. Something was
burning.
Throwing the covers back, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed,
grabbing for his clothes as the full realization hit him. The house was on fire. And he was still trapped inside.
As he moved to slip his jeans on, he suddenly stopped, sitting back on
the bed as he let his clothes fall back to the floor.
Trapped inside.
The words seemed to jump out at him and at that moment he knew that the
fire was not an accident. No, this fire
was a deliberate attempt on his life.
And there was only one man he could think of who would be bold enough to
try something so desperate.
Shane McMahon.
Glancing back down at Melanie, who was still sound asleep beside of him,
Kane smiled as he raised the covers and slipped back into the bed. Spooning in behind her, Kane pulled her into
his arms as he settled back down into the mattress, hugging her tight as he
listened to the sound of the wood cracking and burning around them, the flames
climbing higher and higher up the walls as the thick smoke poured into the room
from beneath the door.
“The fire, Mel. Do you hear the
fire?” he whispered to her soothingly, rocking her gently in his arms as the
roar of the fire grew louder in his ears.
“It’s coming for us Mel….for both of us. Do you hear it?”
“It’s so...perfect.” he
murmured, smiling when he thought of how ironic it all was. After all of the fighting… all of the
scheming…all of the plans that he had so carefully constructed, Kane realized
that his greatest desire was about to be fulfilled.
Shane McMahon was about to be destroyed…..by his very own hand.
************************
“Thanks for all your help guys.
Here’s your money…just like I promised.”
“Thanks man. Pleasure doing
business with you.” the first man replied, shaking Shane’s hand. “If there’s anything else we can ever help
you with, let us know. We’ll be glad to
do it.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Shane replied, turning his attention back to
the burning house as the two men disappeared into the darkness.
Watching as the flames engulfed the roof of the house, he smiled when
the structure finally caved in, crashing to the ground in a pile of flaming
rubble as the last pieces of his nightmare were destroyed.
“Burn in hell, you son of a bitch!” he growled, breathing a sigh of
relief when he realized that the battle was finally over. He had won.
Kane was gone for good.
Surveying the destruction proudly, Shane closed his eyes and said a
silent prayer, thankful that he had finally been able to keep his promise to
his wife.
“You’re safe now baby. I told
you I wouldn’t let him hurt you anymore.”
Taking one last look at the destruction around him, Shane turned to
leave, anxious to head for home.
Climbing behind the wheel of his car, he started the engine and pulled
out onto the highway, surprised when he glanced at the clock and noticed the
time. Only a few more hours and it
would be dawn. He couldn’t help but
wonder if Melanie was sleeping soundly without him there to hold her tight.
“Hold on just a little longer baby.” he murmured to himself, knowing
that he still had a long drive ahead of him before he could get to her.
“I promise I’ll have you in my arms again soon. And when I do….this time, I’m never going to
let you go.”
