His face blocked the light filtering in through the blinds, keeping His expression covered in shadow- though there was still no mistaking the gleam in His eyes. I’d been grouchy and pouting and now I could see He was sick of my whining and wanted nothing to do with it. I felt the first stirrings of fear in my gut. Silently, He stood and walked across the room into the kitchen. I heard some rattling and commotion- then He walked back and stuck a small yellow post-it note face up on the mahogany colored coffee table in front of me. Green Sharpie had been used to write the simple message staring me in the face- “6:00″ I looked up at the clock- it was 5:45.
For a minute or so, I was unsure what to say or do. Six o’clock? What did that mean? Surely something bad. Surely something unpleasant. I meekly managed to get out the words, “do You want me to do something, Sir?” He glared back at me, and half of His lip curled up into an ugly grin. “No,” He pointed a finger in my face until the tip of it was pushing hard against my cheekbone, “you don’t have to do *anything*.” I gulped. “Well may I get up, Sir?” He acquiesced. For my part, I wanted to get as many chores done, and give Him as little reason to be angered with me, as possible. I rushed and cleaned the kitchen, made the bed, and did the dishes.
When I returned to the living room, and the ominous note, it was 5:55. He was pacing the room and clearly furious. The fear in my gut began to overwhelm me. I felt my stomach flip-flop and bile rise in my throat. No matter what, 6:00 was approaching, and whatever was going to happen, would happen. The options ran through my head- maybe He was going to apologize for upsetting me. Maybe He was just going to threaten me. Maybe He was going to lecture me. But a voice, even when I tried to ignore it, screamed at me loudly- “No, He’s going to beat you, you dumb bitch. And He’s going to beat you hard.” The minutes kept ticking by.
6:00
He lunges at me. I’d been curled up in a corner on the couch, fearing what was coming, and had my arms over my head. He soon was on top of me, over me, everywhere. His fist rained down hard on my head, legs and back. While ducking from one blow, I’d expose my face and get popped in the jaw. While scrambling to change position, I’d get a hit in the kidney. There was nothing I could do to calm His force and ferocity. He dragged me down to the ground and continued the assault. Hands, elbows, fists, feet. He used whatever body parts He could to harm me. I’d gasp and cry out as He’d repeatedly kick the wind out of me. Despite the fact that I’d been trained not to protect my face from His hits- I cowered and curled up into a ball- trying to block as many blows to the head as possible. He quickly became annoyed at this behavior and straddled me- using one hand to hold my arms down and the other to strike me across the face, hard, repeatedly. I screamed and wailed in pain. This new aggravation was solved by Him choking the air out of me until my face swelled and my vigorous nods in reply to His inquiries as to whether I’d behave convinced Him to stop.
The beating continued in the kitchen. Slammed up against the refridgerator. Head bashed repeatedly against the wooden door. Thrown and kicked onto the ground. But worst- worst by far- being called a “bad girl”. My dependence upon such an abusive Man had grown to the extent that a single word from His mouth could make or break me. I felt my reaction to His words, and I felt pathetic. What a mewling and desperate woman I felt I had become- willing to do anything to please the Man that treats her like shit. God, I felt disgusted. And wet. And He noticed.
He pulled me by my shirt collar into the bedroom- then forced me to stand straight up, facing Him, with my hands against my sides. “Please no,” I mouthed, knowing what was coming. “Fuck you, bitch” He spat at me in reply- than smacked me as hard as He could across my unprotected face. I easily lost my balance and toppled backwards onto the mattress. Soon, He was on top of me- tearing my clothes off in a rage and punching and hitting me. I was reduced to crying and begging- but He’d just stick His hand up my cunt and point out how wet I was, and how much of a useless sack of shit I was. I couldn’t deny it, so I laid back and accepted it. Tears ran down my cheeks as He got on top of me and pounded into me. “Next time you act like such a fucking cunt I’m going to beat you unconscious then rape a baby into you and leave you, you bitch- how do you like that?” Some part of me, god help me, did like it. Wanted it. Wanted to beg Him to do it. But at the moment all I could do was cry because I knew I had displeased Him.
Eventually He finished using me like a rag doll, then fucked my throat and dumped His load into my stomach. When I wasn’t simply docile or crying, I was begging desperately for forgiveness. Afterwards, I clung to His leg, sobbing. “Please forgive me, please tell me I’m not bad anymore, please- please tell me I’m not bad anymore.” What a pathetic sight. He eventually did forgive me, and I again felt disgust at the wave of gratitude that enveloped me. Later He stood over me with His boot on my face, crushing my skull, and said, “It’s alright, stupid. I know a dumb cunt like you can’t help it, but luckily you have me to keep you in line. Just don’t make me break open this pretty face of yours, you twat.”
Let’s hope I’ve learned my lesson.
