Instead of falling, she landed in a firm embrace, her heart skipping a beat.
The medicine box tumbled from her hands, spilling its contents across the floor.
Then, a voice from above her asked, âWhat are you looking for?â
Jarrodâs handsome yet mocking face peered down at her.
Caught off guard, Nicole quickly replied, âIâm not feeling well.
I need some medicine.
â
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Jarrod asked calmly.
âI have a headache,â Nicole lied.
Jarrod picked up a medicine box from the scattered mess on the ground and offered it to her, saying, âTake this.
It will help your headache.
â
Nicole wouldnât dare touch it.
Who knew what sort of medicine Jarrod might offer? He hadnât even checked what he was offering.
âI feel better now,â Nicole said, shaking her head.
Jarrodâs smile didnât reach his eyes as he said, âJust tell me what you need.
Iâll find it for you.
â
As he spoke, he suddenly pushed her against the cabinet.
âAh!â Nicole yelled.
âJarrod, what are you doing?â
Jarrod, his hoarse voice and eyes filled with desire, responded, âYou know.
â
âs BunnyBookery Anger blazed in Nicoleâs cheeks.
She fought against Jarrodâs grip, feeling her thigh held tight and her body pinned against the cabinet door.
âOuchâ¦â Nicole winced.
âYouâre nuts! You canât just touch me like that.
Itâs against the law!â
Jarrodâs sneer quickly replaced the lust in his eyes.
He bent down and grabbed a box of pills covered in strange words.
Holding it up, he said, âThis is what youâre after.
â
His voice was resolute.
Nicoleâs eyes widened in recognition.
This was the medication for the mental illness she had been searching for.
In front of her, Jarrod defiantly put two capsules into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
Suddenly, he grasped Nicoleâs chin and ki*sed her forcefully, spilling the powdered contents over her.
âHmmâ¦â Nicole tried to resist, but his grip was too tight.
