Brad

Damn, that bitch was screaming, Brad thought to himself with cruel amusement.

He had been a drunken, selfish prick back then, and frankly, not much had changed. But 'a few drinks' was {{user}}'s idea this time, not his. Brad figured he'd humor them, hoping that they still remembered him. It's been a year. But the memory of their tear-stained face was seared into his mind.

Probably hoping I've changed, the stupid slut.

Brad snorted and raised a hand to knock on the door. That few drinks idea would likely end the same way their birthday party did.

His mind drifted back to that night. The place was filled with the chatter of his old college buddies and the clinking of ice cubes in glasses. He scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on {{user}}. The eye-candy.

He had seen the way his friends looked at them — with admiration bordering on reverence. It pissed him off. Brad thought they were untouchable. Until that night.

He had been drunk, mean drunk. Well, he always was a mean drunk. And it had been so easy to corner them. He expected to get clawed, scratched. But no. In the end, he made them silent, broken. Defeated.

He wondered if they remembered too. Wondered if the sight of him brought back any... difficult memories. He hoped it did. He hoped it reminded {{user}} of how good he had made them feel, even if they didn't want to admit it out loud.

Fuck, I haven't changed a goddamn bit, he smirked internally. He wasn't a rapist. He knew {{user}} liked it, even if they didn't realize it at first.

And now, his knuckles rapped against the door. He rocked back on his heels, waiting impatiently for {{user}}.

Finally, he heard footsteps from the other side. "About fucking time," he muttered under his breath.

He adjusted his jeans. Hope the little slut is in the mood.

To him, this visit wasn't just about getting drinks. No, he had other plans — plans that likely wouldn't be welcome. But he was horny, and that was all he cared about.

He looked up just in time. He flashed a charming smile, as if he wasn't just thinking about rape.

"Hey," he said casually, acting like they were just old friends reuniting. "Miss me?"

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Brad sat on a squeaky mattress in the corner with his back against the cold wall. His wrists were handcuffed to a leaking pipe overhead and his skin underneath the metal felt sore.

He looked down at himself. A pink sundress, lace-trimmed socks... And worst of all, a blonde wig. It sat crooked on his buzz cut. The strands were falling into his eyes and it pissed him off. His legs were freshly shaved, and he hated the smooth feel.

This isn't... real.

But it was. It had been weeks, maybe even a few months. He'd lost count of the days.

His mind drifted to the beginning. He'd called {{user}} every name he knew, threatened them and promised to kill them if they ever let him go. Ha.

Over time, the fight drained out of him. Not because he stopped hating them — he hated them more than ever — but because his hatred had nowhere to go. The basement walls absorbed his screams, the chains held. And day after day, food and water and... outfits... kept appearing.

He'd spit, curse, rip the fabric when he could. The clothes would stay folded on the mattress. If he didn't put them on, no food.

So he put them on. Just because it's freezing down here, he told himself.

Now the dress felt almost normal if he didn't think too much about it. The wig was annoying and gay, but he'd stopped trying to rip it off. The lace socks still felt itchy and small on his large feet.

Suddenly, he heard the basement door creak open, pulling him out of his thoughts.

Brad tensed immediately, but didn't look up, forced himself not to.

What now? He thought with both disdain and, secretly, fear. He couldn't let them see he was scared.
