Thread of Illusion

The hot water is running over my body. I feel so overwhelmed and helpless. How could I let this happen to Sidney? I did not let this happen. I hope she is okay. I hear Rusty moving around. He peaks into the bathroom.

"You okay?" he asks.

"No. I mean yes. I mean I do not know," I answer him.

He stands at the door with his back turned so he cannot see me. "You are being stupid. You have seen me naked all night. And if I remember correctly you were banging my best friend while I was trying to shower," I say. "I was not banging her. We were just making out," he says with a laugh.

"Oh my bad," I say.

"Sidney was fun, but that is all it was just fun," Rusty says.

"I am sure she will agree with that statement," I say.

"Are you staying in there all night?" Rusty asks.

"Nope, I am getting out," I say.

I step out of the shower. Rusty watches me dry my body. I wrap myself in a towel. I take a smaller towel and put my hair in it.

"Why don't you pour us a drink while I finish up in here. That way you can tell me all about your brothers," I say.

"Yes ma'am," Rusty says.

Rusty leaves me to try to put myself together in the bathroom. I am going to get Sidney back. I believe Rusty will help me. I need to figure out a way to get all of the women out of there.

I brush my hair and towel it dry a little more. I hand up my towels and grab a robe off the hook. I wrap up in it and tie it tight. I don't need anything jumping out at Rusty tonight. I think he has had enough.

I walk into the suite and see Rusty sitting so sweetly on the couch waiting with a bottle of whiskey, shot glasses, and a coke for us. I think I have drunk way too much over the last few days. I walk over to the window to check the rain. It is still raining incredibly hard.

"You know that it is not a hurricane. It's my brother making all that rain," Rusty says.

"Reid is making it rain," I ask.

"No, Raymond. Raymond controls the weather. The entire town is flooding because he is in town. When he leaves it will stop," Rusty says.

"First off, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. No, I take that back. The pet sex party on the eleventh floor might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard," I say.

"Yeah, that is for sure," Rusty agrees with me.

Rusty pours me a drink. He brings it over to me. We stand and watch the rain together through the window.

"I don't think I like the rain as much now. Rusty, did you go to the parties? Did you take pets up there?" I ask him.

Rusty looks at me completely in awe that I even asked him. "No, I do not agree with what they are doing up there," Rusty says.

"Is that why you moved out of the hotel?" I ask him.

"For the most part. Reid and I have a troublesome relationship," Rusty says.

"I can see that," I say.

I stand at the window with the curtain still in my hand. Rusty is standing watching the rain with me. I let go of the curtain and look into his eyes. I see something different. I see him. I do not think I have ever really seen him before. Not the real him. Not this humble and kind Rusty. I lean in and kiss him.

As our press to one another moving slowly I feel something strange about him. He just feels different. He pulls me in closer to him. His touch is so gentle with me.

"Well, isn't this sweet? The little slut and my bastard brother," Reid says.

We did not hear him come into the room. Rusty stands in front of me. Raymond follows Reid into the room.

"Reid just let her go," Rusty says.

Reid walks closer to me and Rusty. "Well, I guess I could. Are you even worried about Sidney or are you just worried about fucking my brother?" Reid asks.

"I am worried about Sidney," I protest.

Reid comes closer. Rusty does not move. He stays between Reid and me.

"Earlier you said you wanted to be mine and now you are getting ready to get on your knees for Rusty. Oh, wait you already did that upstairs. Are you even thinking about Sidney? Poor Sidney. You just left her up there," Reid says. I push Rusty to the side. "Reid please release Sidney," I beg him.

"I think I will keep her as your replacement. I think she will be more fun anyway," He says.

Reid turns to leave the room. "I am going back upstairs to fuck your friend," he says. "Reid you suck son of a bitch. Why? Why are you being like this?" I ask him.

"Oh, honey. We are GODS! We do as we please," he says to me in a thundering voice. I run at him but Rusty grabs me. "Don't. It will not end well," he says calmly. "You are a sick bastard," I scream at him.

Reid stops. "I am sick. Just remember honey, you've been in my bed. I know exactly how sick and twisted you really are," He says to me.

I shake my head as he walks out the door. Why did I sleep with him? Why did I let him do those things to me? What is wrong with me?

I collapse into Rusty. Rusty holds on to me as Reid and Raymond make their exit.

"You can have her Rusty," Reid screams from the hall.

Rusty tries to comfort me. "We have to get Sidney back," I say.

Rusty rubs my back as he holds me tightly. "We will," he says.

"Now, we need to get her out of there now," I beg him.

"I may have a way but there is no way to get her out tonight. We can leave here in the morning," he says.

"I cannot leave her here," I cry.

"Davina we have to leave here to get what we need to get her out," he says.

"Okay, but either way we have to come back for her," I say.

"We will, I promise you," Rusty says..
