Lexi says. She looks down at me and smiles like she has a secret. “Did you really not see that?”
      “Nope, I think you two have already had too much to drink, and it is time to go.” As I stand I look around to make sure that Ryder isn’t around. He is some kind of intense and I really don’t know if I can handle anymore tonight. Unfortunately for me he sees me stand and comes walking over.
      “You’re not leaving now are you? It’s still early and none of you should be driving.” He ask.
      Well that stops me cold. He is right, we shouldn’t be driving, and that means we are staying a while longer.  “I was hoping to head out. But your right, so I guess we will stay for a little while longer till I sober up some.”
      “Ok, that’s better. I have to go back over there and help Rhett get Cole in the back seat of his truck. Don’t go anywhere, ok.”  He gives me that panty dropping smile and is gone again.
      Once he is out of site I turn to the girls only to find them gone too. Damn. Now what am I supposed to do?
      “Lo oking for your friends?” I jerk my eyes up to see Jake staggering in my direction. He stops directly in front of me and I notice his eyes are blood shot.
      “Yea, um, did you see which way they went. They were right here just a minute ago.” I say as I take a step to my lef t to walk around him. He grabs me by my elbow before I get too far.
      “I did. Come on and I’ll take you to where they were going.” He starts pulling me away from the crowd and I completely start to panic. I don’t want to go wandering of alone with Jake. I yank my arm, hard, and with no use.
      “You could just tell me how to get to them, there is no since in me taking you away from the party.”
      “Awe, well that’s nice of ya, but I am a sucker for helping a lady in need.” There is need alright, but it isn’t mine. I can see it in his eyes, cold and determined. With that my body locks down, my feet quit moving. I deadpan. “It’ll be ok sweetheart they should be just right over here.”
      “I think we should just head back now. Maybe they have already went back, they might not even be here anymore. Come on.” I stammer. I try to do anything to get him to go back closer to the party. I yank on my arm again. Nothing. He pulls me until I am standing beside him looking at an old shack. “See there isn’t even a light on, there is no way they would go in there. Lexi doesn’t even like scary movies, let alone go into a dark shack in the middle of bum-fucked-Egypt.”
      He steps up to the door opens it and flings me in. I try to stay upright, but end up toppling to the floor and hitting my head on a bench. “You’re right they aren’t here, but like I said I am a sucker for a lady in need and by the way you were dancing earlier you are very much in need of something.”
      “And what do you suppose that I need.” My voice shakes with the fear that my whole body is already experiencing. I look around the room for something, anything that could be used as a weapon.
      “Me.” He kneels, and places his hand on my thighs. His face is inches from mine. Then I remember the knife I keep in the side of my bra. I reach across my stomach with my left hand, like I am trying to cover myself up. I struggle to get the clip off. It seems like it takes an eternity but eventually I get it free. “See, you have teased me all night. Dancing with your friends, moving in ways that made every man out there’s dick instantly hard. And since you’re the cause of my situation,” He pauses and grabs his erection through his jeans, “you get to fix it.”
      His hands move higher up my thi ghs, my hips, and slides them over my ribs grazing the bottom of my breast. When he lowers his head to my neck I lift my leg and kick him back, then bend over him. I already have the knife open so I press the point to the side of his throat. He holds his hands up as if to surrender, a cocky smile on his
