Romance with the Cursed Siren

CHAPTER 40. Abductor's Identity

The man still didn't utter a single word, which made Crystal even more anxious. Suddenly, she felt the bed move.

"Let go of me." With a weary voice, she still begged. But instead of giving her a request, the man sniffs her skin.

"No, I don't want to. Please." She is crying excessively, even though her tears are already dry.

The man continues smelling her until his sniffing turns into kissing while his hands are tracing her skin. Crystal’s body shudders with every touch as she feels disgusted by the man who now smells stinks because of the liquor he drank.

"Stop! please no!" She tried to swish and roll her body, trying to reject his move but it was no use at all. 

The man kisses all over her face except her mouth and down to her jaw and neck. He proceeds down to her chest and flat stomach, pulling up her top from the hem until above her bosoms. He continued his kisses on her skin and even felt bites on it and later on, his both hands went under her to unhook her brassiere.

"No! Whoever you are, I hate you! I hate you!" Crystal curses the man furiously, but the man doesn't care while he continues to pull it out of her skin, revealing her rich pair of bosoms.

Crystal suddenly feels drained as her body gives up on restraining, but her cries go on while the man proceeds to feast on her. Suddenly, after satisfying himself, he went down and started unbuttoning her jeans.

"Stop, please." Despite that, the man continues on acting deaf to her cries.

He pulled down her jeans as he also kissed on every skin that showed until the jeans reached her knees. He stopped and unraveled the rope on her ankles. She even winced when she felt stung because of the rope’s harsh grip on her skin. Once done, he continues dragging the jeans out of her but Crystal takes the chance and moves her legs to kick the person, but he abruptly catches her foot and the other. He even sits on top of her legs to restrain her from moving. He now also starts smelling her sensitive core, then kisses it above the thin fabric of her underwear.

"Please stop." Again, her tears came back as she continued pleading. And cry even more when the man harshly ripped off the fabric that only left, covering her down.

"No. I'm begging you, please don't." 

The man tangled up his sturdy legs with hers to keep them steady and go on kissing her face, jaw, and ear.

"Jason," she suddenly muttered while crying, wishing that the man could come and rescue her, but it also made the man stop from what he was doing and pull away from her body.

Crystal rolled her body sideways and curled up, trying to hide her naked skin while she kept on crying excessively.

Suddenly, she again felt the man’s hands and arms as he carried her, but before she could react he already threw her into the water with still tied arms and covered eyes. But before her human body drowned out, her transformation started. 

Her worries of being seen in her other form are overwhelming than the pain of her current switching until it's done. Her tears also turned into tiny pearls as she continued to cry underwater while her tail still felt hurts as it also got the wounds from the rope. Then, with her flexible siren body, she can already turn her hands from behind by curling up her tail. After succeeding, she immediately took off her blindfold and looked up at the surface, but only glanced at the man who just turned away. She examined the room and noticed a chandelier above the wide pool where she was currently in, but afraid of going up. Instead, she just flipped her tail towards the corner in the bottom part of the spacious cube pool. 

Unexpectedly, her abductor also dives into the water and swims closer in her direction, but her eyes widen when she realizes it was Gabriel who took her. Her heart is throbbing fast as the man keeps on swimming in her direction and once he is already in front of her, their eyes meet. Her tears kept on coming out from her both eyes that also turned into pearls until Gabriel cut their stares and grabbed her wrist to untie the rope. He kissed the bruises on her wrists and abruptly kissed her lips as well, lovingly underwater, before he finally swam up to the surface, leaving the siren dumbfounded.

Crystal didn't move an inch from her spot as she watched the man going above until he got out of the clear water. She looks down at her tail and wrist with shaky lips, as she can't believe that Gabriel would do such a thing to her and Jason. She continued to cry, covering her face with her palms.

Crystal stayed at the same spot while just gawking at the walls of the pool she's in, feeling exhausted from the awful event that is still currently happening to her. She suddenly noticed the reflection of Gabriel in the water, but she refused to have a stare until the man disappeared from above. 

The hatred she felt for Gabriel grows even more remembering how they hurt Jason and just left him behind while bleeding.

'I hate you!' She tightly clenched her fist as she kept on cursing Gabriel in her mind.

*****

After hours of staying underwater, she noticed that Gabriel never again took a glance at the bottom, but the siren didn't care about it and even wished not to see him again. 

Crystal feels her entire system weak and numb while her tears are scattered all around in the pool. She didn't even try to move from her spot and unbelievably wishes to keep her tail so she doesn't need to go up later. But her stars never favor her when her tail switches back into a pair of walking legs and feet. Having no choice, she swam up slowly to the surface to breathe in the air. She gasped the moment she came up and looked around the entire place. 

It's a room, an incredibly wide chamber with a king-size bed on her right and a glass wall behind it with heavy curtains slightly pushed aside. In front of the pool is a double wooden door that is possibly also the door for an exit. She again turned while roaming her eyes around while her body was still waving against the water and darted some stuff beside the pool. She swims closer to it and realizes that it is a dry towel and some clothes, and a trolley full of food, but instead of drying and changing her wet top or feeding her groaning belly she just ignores it, getting out of the water. 

She slowly walks around, trying to find her jeans in the room, but fails and stomps irritably. Crystal wore the underwear instead that is being prepared beside the pool. The water continued dripping from her body to the floor, but she didn't care and walked towards the door. She took a deep breath before holding the doorknob and carefully started twisting it. But it’s locked.

“What!? Seriously!?” Crystal unbelievably utter as she keeps on trying to open the door. 

“Gabriel locked me!” she groaned.

She hit the door furiously with her hands, trying to call attention from the outside and let her out.

“Gabriel! Open this door! Let me go!” she screamed, while another batch of tears formed in the corner of her eyes.

“Gabriel!” and breaking down again, slumping her body down on the floor.

“I hate you.” her body felt so weak while she can still feel the sting on her wrists and ankles that added to the suffering she is currently enduring.

‘I need to go back to Jason, he needs me.’ she courageously told herself while slowly getting up and wiped her tears off. Again, she strolls her eyes, trying to find something inside the luxurious chamber. 

She strode towards the bed and couch in front of the bedside table, opening its drawer, and there she saw the bracelet she gave Gabriel before. She took it with her trembling hands and gazed at it while the memories of them together flashback. She crumpled it with her hands as she cried hard for the pain that Gabriel is giving her.

“Why are you doing this to me?” she utters between her hiccups.

After roaming around the room for hours, checking every door, and found nothing except for Gabriel’s clothes inside a walk-in closet and some dresses which she bitterly thought might be owned by Rachel. She sat on the edge of the pool, curling up her body while staring at her image in the steady water inside the pool. Suddenly, she heard the door opening and quickly jerked her head in its direction, and there she saw Gabriel getting in. She takes the chance and rapidly runs in the exit's direction, but before she can reach it, Gabriel closes it again and catches her. 

“Don’t touch me! Let me go!” She hissed, stepping backward as she glared at him with a furious look while the man just roamed his eyes at her from head to toe.

“Why didn’t you change your clothes?” he asked in his calm tone when he noticed she was still wearing her damp sleeveless top.

“I hate you!” She angrily responded, but Gabriel just ignored her and walked past her, going in the bed’s direction while unbuttoning his long-sleeved polo. Crystal quickly reaches the door again, but when she twists, it’s still locked.

“You messed up the room.” Gabriel noticed the water scattered on the floor.

“Open this door!” She keeps on demanding, but Gabriel just ignores her while he walks towards the trolley with food to check it as well.

“You didn’t eat as well,” he stated without looking at her.

“What do you need from me!? Open this damn door and let me go!” but instead of talking to her he walked to the bathroom and came out with a map in his hand then started drying up the place with his only trousers on.

“Gabe, please.” She begged as she slumped her exhausted body on the floor while Gabriel dropped the map and went in her direction. He carried her body on the bed and kneeled in front of her while wiping her tears away with his hand.
