EXTRACT FOR Kidnapped While Jogging: A Shocking Savage Sex Tale (Traci Wilde) 
I glance around, hoping to see someone ??" anyone.
But I'm alone, just me and that creepy van, coming back. Again.
I'm jogging, alone, just as dusk is falling. I run nearly every day at this time, out on these little country roads, surrounded by open fields dotted with a few trees here and there. No one ever bothers me, even though Nick, we call him the man of the house, but he's actually my mom's second hubby, always tells me not to go, tells me to be careful, to make sure I have my phone. He worries about everything, constantly, always telling me those stories of young women kidnapped while out jogging ??" attacked, sold into slavery, all the worst stories he can find.
I roll my eyes at him whenever he tells me those tales. I'm 18 now, I'll be off to university in a few weeks, out on my own.
Nick's such an old worry wort. At least that's what I tell him, what I thought.
Until today.
I hear it drawing closer. I glance over my shoulder ??" it's definitely there, maybe 50 yards away, I'm running on a dusty dirt dead-end road, a road that has just one house way up on a hill overlooking the rolling pastureland, and right now I'm about three miles from home right now.
I flip my phone up from my waist band ??" just as I thought, no service. This is a dead spot, from here to the end of the road and back.
I glance back over my shoulder ??" God, it's only about twenty yards behind me, and slowing. It's passed me, running up and down this road three times already. He's getting close, not swerving away. I wish I'd listened to Nick!
Just then it runs right by me, no more than a foot from me, then he whips the van right around in front of me.
I panic, freezing for a moment as the driver's door opens, a man climbs out, his head covered in a mask. I turn to run ??" the van is between us, and even though I've been out for three miles, surely I can outrun him. I kicked up my pace a couple of notches and then ??" something hits me in the back. Two somethings ??" one in the lower back, the other in my ass.
My entire body seizes up, muscles convulsing, fire running through me. I've been Tazed! I stand there, trembling, then I feel myself falling. I try to raise my arms, put my hands up to break my fall, but nothing happens. I watch, helpless as the ground comes up closer, closer ??" then I grunt as the air is forced from my lungs when I slam against the ground.
More pain grips me, my lungs aching for air, my mind growing cloudy. I feel him grab me, yank me up, throwing me over his shoulder like I'm some rag doll ??" God, he must be strong. I hear the van door slide open, he slams me down on the floor ??" what little air that had made its way into my lungs expelled as I hit the floor, and I know I'm screwed.
Only if I had listened to Nick...
