Jacob's POV
Furious is an understatement. I grabbed her by the throat, but was caught off guard when she began to moan. "Yes! Tighter, daddy!" What in the actual hell is going on? Does she not realize the danger she is in? I could suffocate or even drown her right now. I begin to tighten my grip, and I watch as her eyes roll back, still letting out little moans. My d**k is hard once again, but this is not what I want. I need to hear her begging for mercy, to scream in pain after screaming in pleasure.
I have to get away from here and think. I drop Regina and run as fast as I can to my cabin. I hear her calling out my name, but I don't look back.
Regina's POV
What the hell? Did I do something wrong? Why did he run away like that? All of these thoughts ponder in my mind as I walk back to Steven's cabin. I for sure thought we were about to f**k in the water. He seemed so into it. Maybe calling him daddy freaked him out? Ugh. I'll have to talk to Heather about what happened and see what she thinks.
Heather's POV
I smirked when Steven called me sexy. "While the others are outside, can we sit down and talk about something?" I ask him, and he looks curious as to what I have to say. He leads me to the couch and sits on the chair directly across from me.
"I'm just going to get straight to the point. I find you incredibly sexy, but I'm not going to f**k some guy I just met." He looked taken back by my statement. "I had no intentions of that happening. I believe s*x should be shared between two people in love. I'm at a point in my life that I don't want meaningless hook ups. I don't have time for drama and games." He then adds, "Is that all?"
I shake my head. "No. I have a few more questions if you don't mind." He gestures for me to continue. "How often do you come to these woods? I ask.
"Once a year, but I would like to come out here more. I'm from a busy city, so this place is my paradise."
Hmm, he probably wouldn't know about my sister then. I doubt he was here at the time when it happened since he's only out here once a year. Should I even bring it up though?
"Are you okay?" I'm brought out of my thoughts to see Steven looking at me with concern. I let out a deep breath. I really feel as if I can trust this man with my personal information. He seems genuinely interested in me and obviously not just for s*x.
"No, I'm not actually. The last time I was camping in these woods was with my sister." I am trying to hold back the tears. One thing I hate is to cry in front of people, especially someone I just met today. "On our last day here, she went missing. I searched everywhere for Stefanie, but to no avail. When I got to my car, I called the police and they had a search team out here, but never found her."
"I miss her so much. I want to believe that she is alive and still out here somewhere. I was afraid to come here alone, so I was excited when my best friend finally agreed to come along."
"Wow, I'm sorry. I never spoke about this to anyone. Not even Regina."
Steven's POV
This woman is strong. I would have never guessed that she was carrying such a traumatic experience with her. She hides it very well under her smiles and bright attitude. I want to wrap her up in my arms and tell her that everything will be okay. However, I don't know if it will be. What I do know, is that I want to help her find her sister. No matter what. She needs some closure, whether she's alive or not.
I notice the sadness in her voice as she told me the story and saw the way she held back her tears. "Let's begin our search first thing in the morning." I calmly say to her. She looks at me, clearly surprised by what I just said. "What?" She quietly asks me.
"I want to help you find your Stefanie. The more people looking, the better. Right?" This time, she didn't hold back her tears. "Thank you!" She exclaims through her sobs. I find myself caressing her face and using my thumb to wipe away her tears. Even when she's upset, she is nothing short of beautiful. She leans her face gently into my hands and we sit in a comfortable silence, just staring into each others eyes.
That's until we hear the door open and we look over to see Regina walking in.
"Where's Jake?" I ask her, and she rolls her eyes.
"Who knows!" She exclaims as she throws her hands up in the air dramatically.
"Can I borrow Heather until food is done?" She asks, but it was more of a statement. She already had Heather's hand in hers as she pulled her into on of the bedrooms. That's the kind of drama I can't stand. I get back to cooking and can't stop thinking of her missing sister. Come to think of it, I remember stories of girls disappearing from these woods. They were always told as ghost stories around Halloween, but it seems as though they may be real.
I'm determined to find Stefanie, no matter how long it takes. Thankfully, I'm my own boss, so work won't be a complication. If I need longer time away, I can take it. I wonder if Heather is going to tell Regina about her sister. Considering we are going on a search tomorrow, I would think she would.
Food is finished, and I am starving. I set up four plates, in case Jake decides to return from wherever it is he went off to.
