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.282Please respect copyright.PENANA4H0tZkZhaM
282Please respect copyright.PENANAtk79BS9Rav
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAGm1lEYq2El
282Please respect copyright.PENANACs5kU3uvjK
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.282Please respect copyright.PENANAOf6ych1FWE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAw1PkRKFirB
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"282Please respect copyright.PENANAHixPpjfHPP
282Please respect copyright.PENANAsBXvaERUoW
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.282Please respect copyright.PENANAmjcBzxkUZg
282Please respect copyright.PENANAtyQDCYj0yX
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."282Please respect copyright.PENANAhNcIGdqzSG
282Please respect copyright.PENANAF4liERbIAf
"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.282Please respect copyright.PENANARMHjl8O8oi
282Please respect copyright.PENANAS4UZZOiKZI
"I did not say that."282Please respect copyright.PENANAqQPfB53x4B
282Please respect copyright.PENANA6kySobFNW0
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAAB1AEypj8h
282Please respect copyright.PENANAe6gCUSLpCH
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.282Please respect copyright.PENANAhJiG9wJCBC
282Please respect copyright.PENANAl1GGGlpYRs
"Because you wanted me to do it."282Please respect copyright.PENANAdKrCydw83K
282Please respect copyright.PENANAAA9Fds2NVi
"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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAsg5xBTlca6
282Please respect copyright.PENANA76AiDW2Ww7
"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."282Please respect copyright.PENANANa2hOgkDpa
282Please respect copyright.PENANAC8AdfiLX6m
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.282Please respect copyright.PENANAaEfHr3s8xU
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvoakYaZqNS
282Please respect copyright.PENANARcfUa2Bvhl
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAIf62SElO1G
282Please respect copyright.PENANARbVxoTi0Xr
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.282Please respect copyright.PENANABfGfgrzlpW
282Please respect copyright.PENANArAF82rn5Pa
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAzHVBebeRPZ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAItwHtDR2O3
"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."282Please respect copyright.PENANAlHoxCXLNF3
282Please respect copyright.PENANAKAuegQORxa
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAxcgJGhov5c
282Please respect copyright.PENANAVURQPfz4Ag
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.282Please respect copyright.PENANAzdQOyV8CBj
282Please respect copyright.PENANARb7V8rtGE4
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.282Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ZrRZ1bzQ
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5e0SEEsGso
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."282Please respect copyright.PENANAiEn9eHEsAh
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqjv0S9zz51
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANAKMOABtimHk
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwC8ETzGyuG
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.282Please respect copyright.PENANAwA6XdckDrF
282Please respect copyright.PENANAJBI5ZmxjgQ
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."282Please respect copyright.PENANA0qf0jhb9VJ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAr53gft2jx5
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.282Please respect copyright.PENANA0zSBdA02At
