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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAEvfTmh1vA7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAtgz30CMerx
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"456Please respect copyright.PENANAannsDKRyjZ
456Please respect copyright.PENANApZaS1c7PTD
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.456Please respect copyright.PENANAzcLqxrfYU0
456Please respect copyright.PENANAAvy11YxcmF
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"456Please respect copyright.PENANArHrzGVzKAE
456Please respect copyright.PENANAINLdVFqx9Y
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.456Please respect copyright.PENANAKlqOlUDqCt
456Please respect copyright.PENANAk7gyQnfOux
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."456Please respect copyright.PENANAQySxAoSTIu
456Please respect copyright.PENANA05JQ7WjiVE
"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.456Please respect copyright.PENANALdhpTkjhoX
456Please respect copyright.PENANAu5pdGb69jA
"I did not say that."456Please respect copyright.PENANA3JQeYv8CQV
456Please respect copyright.PENANAhEiDnlJAaW
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAw7jRNbFnjG
456Please respect copyright.PENANA8aT92fRPnI
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.456Please respect copyright.PENANAIKc0l3gmJ7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAmHPPx7ArXp
"Because you wanted me to do it."456Please respect copyright.PENANA7B714PC0SO
456Please respect copyright.PENANAqgl79DxU5n
"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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAJj90v4YYOF
456Please respect copyright.PENANAqmY1j6TiUY
"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."456Please respect copyright.PENANAxM5PDstcit
456Please respect copyright.PENANAYPiDXrhz3p
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.456Please respect copyright.PENANAlCss19k1U0

456Please respect copyright.PENANAHvFqjHFSmh
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAhyvOo5G5yv
456Please respect copyright.PENANA8vyEXXJnTN
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.456Please respect copyright.PENANAPYfgomIs6H
456Please respect copyright.PENANAzThbs3M3B8
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAb2yPUG69Bo
456Please respect copyright.PENANAad1jTqMp9p
"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."456Please respect copyright.PENANA828izJrjEe
456Please respect copyright.PENANAiENBs1G2yG
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAnEBGRbSzkL
456Please respect copyright.PENANAmOfpFWzX49
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.456Please respect copyright.PENANAO2WL0MYhPt
456Please respect copyright.PENANATvNCKNgCFq
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.456Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ6nqLGrax
456Please respect copyright.PENANA2MDBp6hjoc
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."456Please respect copyright.PENANASQteik9Z6Q
456Please respect copyright.PENANAkUbslMBBuC
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAJNlcNeTx7N
456Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Hes517dN
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.456Please respect copyright.PENANAr3YDREAj2U
456Please respect copyright.PENANAOjuHibwqvR
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."456Please respect copyright.PENANABPGNSouOzG
456Please respect copyright.PENANAAu91R4dgWe
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAWhiE1jiDsh
