The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.485Please respect copyright.PENANA9WqUlx3QkZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFoapSktVo7
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7dtTWpfb3
485Please respect copyright.PENANARk4jk1OAMD
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.485Please respect copyright.PENANAxL9WjcrJCL
485Please respect copyright.PENANAWrzGsNv6WV
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAxTUcFmFCMq
485Please respect copyright.PENANALr0dwMVlHa
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.485Please respect copyright.PENANAfpYjDu6QdP
485Please respect copyright.PENANA32mth8BSxy
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."485Please respect copyright.PENANAHI7gSKW2HX
485Please respect copyright.PENANAL9A1J9jlWR
"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.485Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0Jw9Me6j
485Please respect copyright.PENANAHKj9qbXUjt
"I did not say that."485Please respect copyright.PENANAQtPTIydTva
485Please respect copyright.PENANAdB5CrVZBuO
He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.485Please respect copyright.PENANAcZMQcUXH3Q
485Please respect copyright.PENANAX5iy9P16iK
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.485Please respect copyright.PENANAugNyFJ8sGj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAEc3JndhTZW
"Because you wanted me to do it."485Please respect copyright.PENANAjggCDQgoW0
485Please respect copyright.PENANA2DMuW76hLs
"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.485Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Maiq5Yt8
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6f60peTsA6
"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."485Please respect copyright.PENANAZM2D3XNEC7
485Please respect copyright.PENANAnwhfPMQTEY
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.485Please respect copyright.PENANAsjlzyGbOJ0
485Please respect copyright.PENANAD6iWXv8WcS
485Please respect copyright.PENANAD58zajTBL9
I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.485Please respect copyright.PENANApXIXRhZquK
485Please respect copyright.PENANAIli4ayvQRN
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.485Please respect copyright.PENANAkAsUHHobnS
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6NY380ZiGR
I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwI65MugRnQ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAm32g7dKNoA
"I'm sorry about my rudeness last night. I'm having a hard time sleeping, you see, and I've been a little on edge."485Please respect copyright.PENANAVlnu6VDSLd
485Please respect copyright.PENANAP9HGYGPi7R
He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.485Please respect copyright.PENANA9taVBCxwC3
485Please respect copyright.PENANAB2JP8nqgf0
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.485Please respect copyright.PENANA2XIATvRbuM
485Please respect copyright.PENANA9DYaIvLPIp
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.485Please respect copyright.PENANAUdohgptU9n
485Please respect copyright.PENANAWfeUpXiWnX
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."485Please respect copyright.PENANAkAqEVStU2c
485Please respect copyright.PENANAXTAPBoP8C6
He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.485Please respect copyright.PENANAXTJfb1amOa
485Please respect copyright.PENANA7CtlJGbheL
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAVbFnO92Hx1
485Please respect copyright.PENANAv2GhIda5c6
A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."485Please respect copyright.PENANAWw35zTuO7c
485Please respect copyright.PENANAxickwx21pk
What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.485Please respect copyright.PENANAFmWeX3lg8g
