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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmXTKZ1MyM5
446Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUd6FBshs
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"446Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Du9aBVe1
446Please respect copyright.PENANAEPPEK9dNXP
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.446Please respect copyright.PENANAwaxpweuUv7
446Please respect copyright.PENANAdyq5pPb7Zy
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"446Please respect copyright.PENANAhnZosI33Rb
446Please respect copyright.PENANAf7uA5OdjRz
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.446Please respect copyright.PENANArbsQ2AIvgv
446Please respect copyright.PENANAS7KXo6TEYy
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."446Please respect copyright.PENANAWXMUb9dOdo
446Please respect copyright.PENANAGSs7WjuVfA
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAhkpackbpuL
446Please respect copyright.PENANAHqcZ1Z2eeS
"I did not say that."446Please respect copyright.PENANAVSEoCUjQm2
446Please respect copyright.PENANASKqBcN9y2R
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANACqZLT9Zqv8
446Please respect copyright.PENANAaek9mJgfD7
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.446Please respect copyright.PENANAiph88jQGCN
446Please respect copyright.PENANAbGNaq4fZYh
"Because you wanted me to do it."446Please respect copyright.PENANAPEXQRB5krz
446Please respect copyright.PENANAO8wdi8mPYZ
"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.446Please respect copyright.PENANArtII4dbPqR
446Please respect copyright.PENANA3FQMgVK9gx
"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."446Please respect copyright.PENANAwfbVOeQPBQ
446Please respect copyright.PENANAixwnDsgG5t
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.446Please respect copyright.PENANAKa7kNUGk5e
446Please respect copyright.PENANAV5K35XDUM4
446Please respect copyright.PENANAqpmyCnvp24
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAy9l1PIYS5c
446Please respect copyright.PENANAMrriWwVR2T
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.446Please respect copyright.PENANA9bub9ZJBJ2
446Please respect copyright.PENANAGXZCZpCwiV
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAgtkuabfoWF
446Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ5cr0CNwV
"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."446Please respect copyright.PENANAWqIG8nkGrE
446Please respect copyright.PENANAJQQBlc4Gww
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmEqfFHmYgP
446Please respect copyright.PENANAv39bifLZLD
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.446Please respect copyright.PENANAmTMQVm6LKh
446Please respect copyright.PENANALEXXLh54y8
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.446Please respect copyright.PENANANtm9GHd8pG
446Please respect copyright.PENANAKfd1oXY64z
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."446Please respect copyright.PENANADdS2w1HRx5
446Please respect copyright.PENANAKyrWFwstj4
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAXZziG6fZTf
446Please respect copyright.PENANAs94SRPuCR6
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.446Please respect copyright.PENANAev2e3Y7fE9
446Please respect copyright.PENANAazEUAkKZzE
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."446Please respect copyright.PENANA1CmaZCrNR0
446Please respect copyright.PENANAqfDPwMELAW
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.446Please respect copyright.PENANAnf3Kqcsnil
