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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAYMRb4ptWaN
479Please respect copyright.PENANAeOLQaVSDSn
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"479Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6ThFxpwOm
479Please respect copyright.PENANA92HcFFBlnN
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.479Please respect copyright.PENANAxuCXNelMqR
479Please respect copyright.PENANAhF2RK9gMJi
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"479Please respect copyright.PENANAsTE8dxspDs
479Please respect copyright.PENANAUK1woTDU2B
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.479Please respect copyright.PENANAQsbqzNAyOC
479Please respect copyright.PENANA9oTsWQrIHG
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."479Please respect copyright.PENANAN7bojoBjmL
479Please respect copyright.PENANAGV6TQWL1KQ
"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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ce3gb7AS
479Please respect copyright.PENANABnsbHPVxca
"I did not say that."479Please respect copyright.PENANAcvujSPv3Ew
479Please respect copyright.PENANAwJP33MZJd6
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANASx5HKmIIex
479Please respect copyright.PENANARD3UgM9ZSv
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.479Please respect copyright.PENANAOm109aukGZ
479Please respect copyright.PENANA6RGKWdqndZ
"Because you wanted me to do it."479Please respect copyright.PENANAyBronWTPN1
479Please respect copyright.PENANA7SUARE07xT
"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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAoU6lfS299y
479Please respect copyright.PENANA6qt8hnoLPx
"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."479Please respect copyright.PENANAxH8QOYFPFI
479Please respect copyright.PENANA2zwqcw5313
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.479Please respect copyright.PENANA84m1IfrYoK
479Please respect copyright.PENANA1AS0Fp2aNw
479Please respect copyright.PENANAau7PR3wqYC
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAXCNXSr2rLH
479Please respect copyright.PENANAIMksDtZWi4
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.479Please respect copyright.PENANAet7n6on2Df
479Please respect copyright.PENANAaTld7LurqU
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANA4FAP3Ttqbz
479Please respect copyright.PENANAUvVSbXZLB0
"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."479Please respect copyright.PENANAShFTlzJCuz
479Please respect copyright.PENANA808dF6Iz77
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAEr0eoxRSIJ
479Please respect copyright.PENANAHBOFWt5ZJC
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.479Please respect copyright.PENANA2z9chFMCLF
479Please respect copyright.PENANAPOTfNGgRTF
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.479Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7pnZ5Naeh
479Please respect copyright.PENANAejoHJHcSlk
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."479Please respect copyright.PENANAATqiWVs1Rw
479Please respect copyright.PENANA7qgSYeXMMR
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANAc5dQfnTcy2
479Please respect copyright.PENANA1BcvqPJchW
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.479Please respect copyright.PENANAp3aSndbanT
479Please respect copyright.PENANAjmLX0VBW5i
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."479Please respect copyright.PENANAc2WdWnKxfU
479Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1uTLLths
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.479Please respect copyright.PENANA6hUYWdaLms
