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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAwXdrpDQWgC
489Please respect copyright.PENANAsdR1Zdd7Qv
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAHlxH7HudSD
489Please respect copyright.PENANAtZk8tgXWx4
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.489Please respect copyright.PENANAnGTFw3xPBh
489Please respect copyright.PENANAgbiKUQ92RG
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAi0WWunsoTZ
489Please respect copyright.PENANA6I4367LJsr
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.489Please respect copyright.PENANAngSDm4tt7M
489Please respect copyright.PENANANjtRENc93L
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."489Please respect copyright.PENANADdN4B08LfT
489Please respect copyright.PENANA6wWCiAa5V7
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAf4XB33K67J
489Please respect copyright.PENANAbNjG0zeD27
"I did not say that."489Please respect copyright.PENANA3jxlgGNpVu
489Please respect copyright.PENANA9pQoHbpvna
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAhmXPqmkZ9f
489Please respect copyright.PENANAmbtuTVs25J
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.489Please respect copyright.PENANAW2tag5fHKt
489Please respect copyright.PENANAlpzhPPBlFi
"Because you wanted me to do it."489Please respect copyright.PENANAUj92TPfSFl
489Please respect copyright.PENANAIJDMyCGkFA
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANA9HKIOsp3V0
489Please respect copyright.PENANArOaCwQ4uMz
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAMi5r6ozwVt
489Please respect copyright.PENANAb0Sl8YSQYe
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.489Please respect copyright.PENANA0W42iYOjBH
489Please respect copyright.PENANA3oVKPcq9NV
489Please respect copyright.PENANAroYaR66Mnj
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAMlDNtEdpi7
489Please respect copyright.PENANAmKkfiFpJ1i
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.489Please respect copyright.PENANA6a0WWfPukw
489Please respect copyright.PENANAtKbZFL6bbx
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAn1g6ANicOE
489Please respect copyright.PENANA9qtpwfZpOY
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANA5jsoV12zM7
489Please respect copyright.PENANARWPeZHMMdX
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAlpzJjUAMns
489Please respect copyright.PENANA06URoC0Bpl
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.489Please respect copyright.PENANAVWfbRQhFvH
489Please respect copyright.PENANAhCtmu0P7th
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.489Please respect copyright.PENANARYZQBaCncL
489Please respect copyright.PENANA1kUDsicJ2N
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."489Please respect copyright.PENANAaR8lPAPxyj
489Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1W8v7a4Yq
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAhQX9yyYS1T
489Please respect copyright.PENANA8P5Mg47ZFV
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.489Please respect copyright.PENANAjD86pMNN7t
489Please respect copyright.PENANAYg4D8Q139G
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAVSA5Brm71s
489Please respect copyright.PENANA7xEGXIANXo
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAfeJJqdlHjK
