Four
years ago I lost my virginity on live, streaming television.
Too
bad I wasn’t awake for it.
The
video went viral. Of course it would. A Senator’s daughter on
camera? Wouldn’t you click “share”? Besides, that’s what
three of the four guys in the video did.
Share.
They
shared me.
But
that fourth guy? The nondescript one in the background in the upper
left corner of the screen, just sitting on the couch? The only one
who did nothing?
Not
one single thing.
That
was my boyfriend, Drew.
And
that was the last time I saw him.
Until
today, when my father—now on a path to the White House—hired him
as head of security for my new team as I return home after four years
of “recovering” in an undisclosed location that involved white
lab coats, needles, pills and damage control.
You
see, the other three guys never went to jail. Never had charges
pressed.
Never
faced consequences.
Until
today.
Game
on.

Excerpt
“I’m
sorry,” he says. My ear is pressed against his broad, hard chest. I
feel the words more than I hear them. The vibration and cadence make
it clear he’s apologizing. Heat radiates off him like he’s the
sun and I’m in his orbit.
I
break away. I’m not his moon.
“You
should be sorry,” I snap, marching toward my destination, fighting
the soft ground. I don’t want to talk to him. I don’t want to do
this. Not now.Definitely not right now. I haven’t seen him for four
years. Four long, painful, horrible years. More than 1,400 days of
waking every morning knowing I wasn’t with him. Knowing he sat
there that night and did nothing while three men raped me. Degraded
me. Used and abused me and enjoyed it.
My
body goes into a full-blown supernova, skin on fire at the thought.
My rage cannot be contained by a mere mortal body.
I
turn around. He’s right there, following me.
“Go
the fuck away, Drew. I told you. I hate your guts. Leave me alone.”
At
least, I think that’s what I say. My mind can’t process words and
thoughts right now. I am fixated on the red door at the back entrance
of the house, the sprawling mansion that is the only home I’ve ever
known, aside from Daddy’s townhome in Washington D.C. If I can make
it to that red door without Drew touching me, if I can make it to my
bedroom and to my medications where I can take enough to fall asleep,
maybe I can get my brain to work again.
And
stop the flood of emotions that are making me crazy.

This sounds absolutely chilling, Meli. I was thinking of asking for a review copy, but then I decided it might be just too uncomfortable to read. I applaud your courage in tackling a topic like this.
