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.498Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkbMZXuYG
498Please respect copyright.PENANAers2xwWNzb
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QDpvtwdl
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3np5HY3pP8
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.498Please respect copyright.PENANACpx6DhHLev
498Please respect copyright.PENANACMAejnKrXg
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"498Please respect copyright.PENANAQnITihXUb2
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhwm8yTvGmz
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.498Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ZPebgQBy
498Please respect copyright.PENANArbkFiPFIac
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."498Please respect copyright.PENANAUEkaMiq5sX
498Please respect copyright.PENANApigUTOvjtz
"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.498Please respect copyright.PENANAnjqTSQzDOc
498Please respect copyright.PENANA1JZRAzpbvn
"I did not say that."498Please respect copyright.PENANAejYxSZZ2ZS
498Please respect copyright.PENANAiiPiXSpH9H
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANAfSaO7Avrvi
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xdb7ou4nA
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.498Please respect copyright.PENANAZG1ap8HvwS
498Please respect copyright.PENANAB2PwzyRr19
"Because you wanted me to do it."498Please respect copyright.PENANA11IcMVD5h4
498Please respect copyright.PENANAqByJlOAeQp
"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.498Please respect copyright.PENANARFQ8EUrgBr
498Please respect copyright.PENANAvdkmexRGrs
"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."498Please respect copyright.PENANAvQEDeAy7RT
498Please respect copyright.PENANAhafTS88TdE
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.498Please respect copyright.PENANAPFlebrX3Iu
498Please respect copyright.PENANAMjSM77j5Vo
498Please respect copyright.PENANAVmV7UOOJPh
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANA5vz4X3QD7p
498Please respect copyright.PENANA9pXH43sT6u
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.498Please respect copyright.PENANAKvGaSau3cy
498Please respect copyright.PENANADuFMhYG797
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANApTfMbYbBb9
498Please respect copyright.PENANAm5lGbT6twX
"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."498Please respect copyright.PENANAm7cEuADc46
498Please respect copyright.PENANA0WPY7uSfkd
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANA10WjGJZ0Y0
498Please respect copyright.PENANApIO0SNpmti
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.498Please respect copyright.PENANAFOxxxrM3cL
498Please respect copyright.PENANASCCHYXVplb
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.498Please respect copyright.PENANAhXoJ6kP1PD
498Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xt8uchlBf
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."498Please respect copyright.PENANAuVCHNebWwp
498Please respect copyright.PENANALceyeAaDs5
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANAolPgsaUFgL
498Please respect copyright.PENANApKRXZy7pVy
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.498Please respect copyright.PENANArLeGWyrOqd
498Please respect copyright.PENANAwghKRVsRtV
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."498Please respect copyright.PENANAVi53eJHD6A
498Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZshXUVL0U
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.498Please respect copyright.PENANA1qWyLsYAql
