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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAO6EqBzAMmR
460Please respect copyright.PENANAw0vBrYMVFO
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"460Please respect copyright.PENANAyXt5DXCy9U
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAKNeyCYbbU
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.460Please respect copyright.PENANAdzBKkglbT5
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvU47zH8vAp
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"460Please respect copyright.PENANATaudV4xAVM
460Please respect copyright.PENANADHvGb3cVHN
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.460Please respect copyright.PENANANfBum46W7r
460Please respect copyright.PENANAe6tHmB3QO9
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."460Please respect copyright.PENANAocKCUjfKAr
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjLe2Z5kIoE
"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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAPNRwwuRbCF
460Please respect copyright.PENANACEHEzznPVP
"I did not say that."460Please respect copyright.PENANAGji98ccsEP
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlJjm5gXm6F
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANA62fZyo2SVG
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjbtjEhNXcw
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.460Please respect copyright.PENANA9rgKo308kQ
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfSqD91rGzh
"Because you wanted me to do it."460Please respect copyright.PENANAwiK9O608QV
460Please respect copyright.PENANAu8USgBiekw
"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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAQHIxRBBL91
460Please respect copyright.PENANAq001auI20c
"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."460Please respect copyright.PENANAZKLwcYdie0
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPx4jmXaG2M
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.460Please respect copyright.PENANAUIfzAvxEaW
460Please respect copyright.PENANAG30vWoLUu7
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoUzg05M9P8
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANA6d3J8XW16J
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbTFOK2Z4K1
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.460Please respect copyright.PENANAVh4dMBpE37
460Please respect copyright.PENANA83gjK49oqU
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANArKB70QofOL
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIggqFxgtc4
"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."460Please respect copyright.PENANAGa5HkoKHKL
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6iaJKepUnV
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAbkhSCX07mc
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8wxhav0ZTc
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.460Please respect copyright.PENANApB3aXN6dE6
460Please respect copyright.PENANA36qAAWPz0b
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.460Please respect copyright.PENANAn0qUftEzLs
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQOrip5O0vF
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."460Please respect copyright.PENANA9vH1FHfZaU
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsXy9zmzRjZ
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAIhbhtdmHM6
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWZQFymfBtQ
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.460Please respect copyright.PENANA6IzHMa4mUv
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlLsAVpMX1O
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."460Please respect copyright.PENANApyidFpGIu3
460Please respect copyright.PENANApGAw79qVV1
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAJcGcFbpYLe
