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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAwCkT68628n
248Please respect copyright.PENANARnilbZ0I1f
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"248Please respect copyright.PENANArBs3BKdZwa
248Please respect copyright.PENANAuY4qJpXGtv
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.248Please respect copyright.PENANAT0PsLnEPmE
248Please respect copyright.PENANAjmv6TNgQka
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"248Please respect copyright.PENANAeubE92oVVb
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5ASkj2GtpT
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.248Please respect copyright.PENANA6gPMlew7gd
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZb4vxObhtT
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."248Please respect copyright.PENANAnlMqtnaD3a
248Please respect copyright.PENANABvhrAcne5a
"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.248Please respect copyright.PENANABSUpfo6raB
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5oC4yKdKMw
"I did not say that."248Please respect copyright.PENANA2NoIWfZO6u
248Please respect copyright.PENANAtzFCaIlhSS
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANANFkdtwO4YI
248Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jb8praD99
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.248Please respect copyright.PENANA34vVRHwkNI
248Please respect copyright.PENANAyTQuILTGrN
"Because you wanted me to do it."248Please respect copyright.PENANAPteZJXE3V1
248Please respect copyright.PENANAkve52Ukhyt
"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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAyEYBsuwv3P
248Please respect copyright.PENANAevnAB2LZFp
"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."248Please respect copyright.PENANAjy1YxBCVap
248Please respect copyright.PENANATPKBOfFMcT
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.248Please respect copyright.PENANAMaJXIwBLhp
248Please respect copyright.PENANAfYTHgQQa7w
248Please respect copyright.PENANAHdymXm5dJ5
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAIIEeOGMWp9
248Please respect copyright.PENANA4eF3mceDf6
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.248Please respect copyright.PENANAuRLnxSqIzI
248Please respect copyright.PENANAsfY0iHLNVV
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAmyNE32LlzN
248Please respect copyright.PENANAJJEJX9KCnd
"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."248Please respect copyright.PENANAnyDzhSxqpA
248Please respect copyright.PENANA0ghsUqvTvw
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANApEj0ZFB7As
248Please respect copyright.PENANAB6zB36GZBR
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.248Please respect copyright.PENANAgSRgYdxJM5
248Please respect copyright.PENANAfTUqkfOtah
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.248Please respect copyright.PENANA1cvexJWxLh
248Please respect copyright.PENANA07lBHJFt8h
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."248Please respect copyright.PENANAY4WzxAAD5B
248Please respect copyright.PENANApZebKCvcYg
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAaL7BkOsbCa
248Please respect copyright.PENANASVng5YdVUM
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.248Please respect copyright.PENANAjqhO3sy03L
248Please respect copyright.PENANAVkOH7TkrEl
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."248Please respect copyright.PENANAE72etcLfhF
248Please respect copyright.PENANAsrsQscQxlq
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANA2GTauKzsDe
