She's Such A Tease - Breathless Pt. 11
#11 of She's Such A Tease
Skyler white-knuckled his steering wheel, only of a fraction of his mind on the road. His thoughts were centered around his so -called "friend". Blackmail, bondage, pimping? How in God's name could he have known Ryan for so long, yet not really know him at all? Arabelle popped into his mind. The horrible situations Ryan had put her in made Skyler absolutely furious. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he pulled into the parking lot in front of the dormitories. He checked the clock on the dash... Just after 3am. Perfect
He got out of his car, removing a shopping bag of things he had bought earlier in the day from a nearby hardware store, and shut the door slowly and silently. Not that anyone would notice, they were all probably passed out at three o'clock Monday morning. He walked stealthily through the building without seeing a single soul. He slid his key into the door and turned the knob, opening it slowly to check for any lights or movement... Nothing... He stepped inside. Skyler walked through the living room and down the hall, peeking briefly into Ryan's room. Sure enough, he was completely passed out with an empty two-six on the floor next to his bed. Skyler proceeded into Ryan's room, closing the door behind him. He set down the shopping bag, slid on a pair of leather gloves and picked a dirty sock up off the floor. He had to steel himself, thinking of Arabelle for what he had to do next.
Skyler placed one hand firmly on Ryan's chest and shoved the sock into his open mouth. Ryan woke with a fearful start, but couldn't scream. Skyler straddled over Ryan and knelt on his wrists, pinning his arms down. "Just like when we were kids. I'm still stronger than you, you squirrelly son of a bitch." He said quietly, but firmly. Ryan mumbled into the gag and strained against Skyler, but it was no use. Skyler grabbed Ryan's tie from the drawer in his nightstand, tied it into a kind of crappy noose and fastened it around Ryan's neck, pulling it tight. Ryan's eyes widened in fear as Skyler pulled tighter and tighter and Ryan started to struggle for his breath. "I never knew you. I fucked you and I never knew you." Skyler seethed. Ryan tried to call out for help but his squirming and attempts to scream only made him lose oxygen faster. Eventually his eyelids started to droop and he lost consciousness, but Skyler kept the necktie/noose tight with one hand and checked for a pulse with the other until he was absolutely positive Ryan was dead.
Skyler got off of Ryan, fastened the other end of the necktie around Ryan's bedpost and removed the sock from his mouth. He undid Ryan's zipper and hitched his pants and boxers down to his knees. Skyler grabbed the bottle of lube from Ryan's nightstand and poured it onto Ryan's cock. He picked up Ryan's hand by the wrist and used it to smear the lube around. Skyler then went about his search for the minisafe. It wasn't hard to find, It was on the top shelf of Ryan's closet hidden behind his bong. Anything Ryan felt was valuable was hidden behind his bong. Skyler shook his head in Ryan's direction. "Stupid, predictable motherfucker." He picked up the safe and the bag from the hardware store and went to his own room. Once he had privacy from the staring corpse of his ex-best friend, he removed a punch and a ball-peen hammer. Remembering a trick his father had taught him, he stuffed the punch into a vulnerable point in the latch and after a couple good smacks with the hammer, the safe door popped off. He retrieved the camera card from inside, snapped it in half and threw it out the window into the parking lot. He crept back into the living room and pressed the 'Eject' button on the player. Out popped Arabelle's porno. The stupid DVD that started this entire mess. He hit it with the hammer until it was a million tiny pieces, then dust-bustered it all up. He checked the clock again, it was nearing 5. He put his gloves back in the coat closet and took a few pictures of Ryan's perversely-posed body with his cell phone, opened his front door and started yelling in a panic for help.

Arabelle drove up to the school to see police cars and ambulances parked near the dormitories with a large crowd of gawkers standing nearby. She parked her car and walked over to the scene just in time to see a body covered with a sheet being pulled out on a stretcher. Inside the taped-off perimeter she saw a police officer taking a statement from Skyler. It didn't look like he was in any trouble... He certainly wasn't being arrested. She turned to a nearby student that she recognized from one of her classes. "What the hell happened?"
The small, bespectacled capybara turned to Arabelle. "Some sort of freak accident is what I heard. Ryan Schmidt died and by the time his roommate started calling for help it was too late."
"Does anyone know what kind of freak accident?" Arabelle said, shocked.
A large bear with a Mohawk and a lot of piercings looked at her and casually said "I heard the paramedic tellin' the cop that he died whacking off."
Arabelle was a little shocked by the lewdness of the situation, but then it started to sink in. All of Skyler's promises to protect her... Surely Skyler couldn't be capable of murder... But it did seem to be the only way for either of them to escape their current situation. She saw the cop close up his notepad and pat Skyler on the back. She waved to him and Skyler ducked under the tape. "Take a walk with me." She said, and they started across the parking lot. "What's going on?"
"Autoerotic asphyxiation." Skyler said. "It's not uncommon for a person to accidentally choke themselves to death while they jerk off." He winked at her.
"You... you did..."
"Yes. He had to be stopped."
Arabelle flung her arms around Skyler and hugged him tightly. "You're right. It was the only way."

(Six Years Later)
Skyler drove to the University after work to pick up Arabelle for their date. They could be open and honest about their relationship now as he had graduated last year. She walked over to the car and got in, looking frazzled but sexy as ever. They kissed each other hello. "I have two things you're going to love." He said to her.
"Oh?" She asked.
"This is the first." He said, showing her his iPad. There, on Ryan's old FaceBook page among all the tributes and prayers was a photo posted by a fake user with a fake e-mail from a public computer. It was Ryan's corpse, mid-jerk, with a caption reading "Now everyone knows what a sick fuck you really are."
At first, Arabelle was shocked... But after she recalled the week of constant abuse from Ryan, a grin spread across her face and she kissed Skyler passionately. "I do love it! What's the second thing?"
Skyler booted down his iPad. "Close your eyes." He said. Arabelle obeyed until Skyler gave her the go-ahead to open them again. When she did, Skyler was holding a small jewellery box with a gold-banded, diamond solitaire ring. "Arabelle, we've been through absolute hell together. But we made it and it's been six amazing years. Will you be my mate?"
Arabelle's eyes immediately welled up with tears. All she could manage was a very vigorous nod and a small squeak. Skyler slid the ring onto her hand and they kissed long and hard. When they finally broke the kiss, Skyler looked deep into Arabelle's eyes.
"You know you'll always be safe with me."
