I found a scarf hanging by the door, and grabbed that one, tying his hands for now. It wasn’t good enough, but as long as he was unconscious, I could risk leaving him alone long enough.
When I was sure he’d not get up in the next five minutes, I went in search of Maddie. I didn’t know how much time had passed, and found her next to the open window, clenching her stomach. “What happened?”
She looked up at me with a tear-stained face. “The police are on the way. And…” She nudged her cell with her foot.
I unlocked it and instantly it started playing a clip. “What’s that?” I asked, cocking my head.
“My soaked pussy.”
I gaped at her. “How did you get a video of that? How does it exist?”
She licked her lips. “I think it… I think…” I dropped the phone and gathered her in my arms, kissing the top of her head and hoping that she hadn’t noticed how I’d gotten inappropriately hard.
“Shh, my love, breathe.”
And she did, needing a few seconds to collect herself. I knew I needed more scarfs or something to bind the guy in the living room tighter, but she was my girl and needed me more.
“I think it happened at the dentist yesterday. I remember it was hot, and I remember waking up to the dentist himself coming in, apologizing. But…” She shook her head while I stayed quiet.
“I… I need something to bind the guy with. He’s out cold for now, but he’ll come around in no time, and I’d rather have him taken away than him fleeing.”
She struggled to her feet, my brave, strong girl, and nodded. “Yes, here. And then I want to see him.”
Just as we stepped out of her bedroom with more scarfs, there was a knock on the door. “Hey, this is Officer Davidson, and I was informed there is an intruder,” the guy outside called and I told Maddie I’d get the door.
The officer came in and I pointed for him to follow me. “I have him in the living room and incapacitated him.”
He followed; his expression grim while I reached for Maddie the moment she was close enough. The intruder just was coming around again, shaking his head as if he was trying to clear it.
“You, sir, are under arrest for breaking and entering,” the officer stated, not hesitating.
“And also, for rape,” Maddie stated, holding out her phone to the officer.
I hadn’t even noticed her getting it.
The cuffs clicked, then Davidson turned back to us. “What’s that?”
She grabbed her throat again, clearly unable to speak.
“Someone took a video of her in a very compromising position, and she can’t remember any of what seemed to have transpired,” I explained instead.
Maddie nodded. “There are more photos on there. You can take it. Take it all. I cannot stand to look at that thing anymore.”
The officer pocketed it while the intruder’s eyes widened. “I never touched her! I never even was that close to her! I just… I just put up the cameras! Someone paid me for that, and I…”
“Shut up, you freak,” I ordered, wondering what in the world he was thinking.
“Right, dude. Someone paid you for that. And the next thing you try to convince us of is the key to her apartment just showing up, right?” the officer asked and yanked him to his feet.
“Yes!” His voice got high-pitched. “This is a set up. I only ever just sent the videos the cameras recorded, I never once got close to her before! Today is the first day!”
I glanced back at Maddie, who was staring holes into the guy’s head.
“Tell them!” he begged.
She snorted. “You drugged me, didn’t you? That’s why I don’t remember being intimate with you. That’s why I don’t remember you…” She shook her head.
“No! I didn’t. I never touched you. I don’t even know your name!”
The officer sighed, then pushed the dude forward. “You need to come down to the station for a statement later. I’ll take him in and we’ll look at your phone. Sorry no one took you serious before.”
“Yeah, we can see how much that sorry helps.”
Davidson’s face fell. “It’s not my fault. I was just the only one close enough to come here now. Again. I’m sorry.”
I nodded and closed the door behind him, then drew Maddie in my arms.
“It’s over,” she whispered. “They got him.” She lifted her head. “No, you did. You are my hero!”
I let her kiss me before pulling back, resting my forehead against hers. “You need to talk to someone, Maddie, about what you think happened yesterday. I have a friend who’s a military psychologist, but I’m sure he’d make an exception for you. Let me get the card so you have it for whenever you need it, okay?”
I pressed a kiss to her forehead while she nodded weakly. “Thank you. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
I winked. “Crash and burn. Luckily for you, you’ll never have to think about that again because you and I are forever.”
Finally, she smiled again. “Thankfully.”
Stealing another kiss, I stepped into my room, kneeling next to the bed, pulling open a nightstand drawer.
With a smug smile, I pushed the blue latex gloves out of the way, reached for my wallet, and then closed the drawer again, thinking everything worked out perfectly fine.
