Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
— Luke 6:36
Carlotta
I wake up without knowing what time it is, and it takes me a moment to remember where I am. Once I do, dread settles in, filling me with fear and trepidation.
I’ve been kidnapped by a madman.
Surely by now, Daddy has realized I’m gone. He’s going to have his best men on the job, trying to find me. It won’t be long now before one of them bursts through the door and takes me back home, where I belong.
Time passes painfully slowly, and I have no idea where the horrible priest is. He doesn’t make an appearance until after I’ve peed in the dingy bathroom, splashing my face with ice cold water. My makeup’s pretty much gone now, and my body is shivering and cold from the icy room. I want nothing more than to cover up my half-naked body. To have the comfort of a thick blanket on top of my skin. But I get the feeling that’s not about to happen any time soon.
I hear the locks opening what feels like hours later, scrambling to my feet and crossing my arms in front of my body. My stomach rumbles in expectation and I hope to God my captor remembered I must eat sometime.
The priest walks inside the room with a tray, and my shoulders sag in relief. He barely looks at me, setting the tray with a steaming cup of what looks like chicken soup in front of me. There’s a bottle of water there too, the cheap plastic kind. He hands it to me, and I take it with shaky fingers. I drank from the tap in the bathroom, but the water was so cold it hurt my throat. Now, I guzzle down the clear liquid hungrily.
“Are you hungry?” he asks me, and I find myself nodding tentatively. “Come here. Sit on the mattress.”
I approach him slowly, like a deer in headlights. I’m terrified he’s going to strike me or hurt me some more, but he doesn’t make a move to do so. As I sit down on the old mattress, he regards me with a cool glance before stripping off the hoodie he’s wearing and tossing it at me. Underneath, he’s wearing a V-neck shirt that exposes his taut muscles.
I accept his gift, putting on the oversized sweatshirt that smells just like him. Fresh, masculine and sexy. I inhale the scent, then blush fiercely, not wanting him to notice what I’ve done.
At least I’m covered up now, which means my boobs are out of his view.
“First, you will pray,” he tells me firmly, forcing me to clasp my hands together. We pray in unison, my mouth reciting the words I thought I’d long forgotten.
“Open your mouth,” he grunts at me once we’re done, and my lips quiver as I obey him.
He scoops the thick soup on a silver spoon and feeds it to me. My mind wants to rebel, tell him to go fuck himself and to allow me to feed myself, because I’m not a child. But my body is grateful for the small mercy, and I lean against his hand gratefully, sipping from the silver spoon.
The soup is hot and flavorful and feels like heaven as it travels down my throat into my empty belly. I groan at the taste of it, savoring every second. I feel the priest watching me, his eyes closely examining mine as he feeds me spoonful after spoonful.
Once he’s done, I’m finally brave enough to speak up.
“Thank you for feeding me.”
“I’m glad you’ve calmed down a little.”
“Why?” I whisper.
“Because it makes it easier to hurt you,” he grunts, sending shivers down my spine.
