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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAwf123N0nyW
457Please respect copyright.PENANAo2kDBccwwq
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAsvaaxlozH4
457Please respect copyright.PENANALwNEgAT4Ze
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.457Please respect copyright.PENANAdy0P7rpfEL
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaS7reyEuCB
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAQakVXTcVsj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAspb8YaTvgm
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.457Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zc2g2pmz9
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkX8cyJZmoz
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."457Please respect copyright.PENANAceuTOpg2yq
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6YyLMqdhU4
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAxoYygkp81I
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJtI61HkPR8
"I did not say that."457Please respect copyright.PENANANWA1OobBDP
457Please respect copyright.PENANASGXWzLV0SC
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAXJKP4p5jz6
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXFy8uD4b0f
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.457Please respect copyright.PENANAEu0gTBt5ra
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnwHc0RgA9j
"Because you wanted me to do it."457Please respect copyright.PENANAWrXteKhBVP
457Please respect copyright.PENANAubONWK2eTk
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAnAwcbTaBak
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxNOm7kVEGl
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA74UAdbwzFp
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlRRbxLZP2s
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.457Please respect copyright.PENANAW878juvXXl
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfbFm7znJyX
457Please respect copyright.PENANARsAtZVYw5w
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAun4YjMOeLv
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z3DcGnwQ2
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.457Please respect copyright.PENANASmKI90wd9j
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2dC7MVOlro
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAnOcATconR5
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWHx6shdPMx
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA81mzWGvVrn
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJye3P1yQPU
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAEYqXFZKqCM
457Please respect copyright.PENANArgoC0nSog2
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.457Please respect copyright.PENANAgKkUKvWg4b
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfRDff6TyI7
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.457Please respect copyright.PENANA7REBU01pRv
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVFZunyLsvB
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."457Please respect copyright.PENANArgfK5jnrDh
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaO8CglHvyP
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAzEcvXq8gRn
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmnX4sR7F9N
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.457Please respect copyright.PENANANRf0jgU38J
457Please respect copyright.PENANASSBYCDbiju
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA7cZdH6jkjR
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYfIMDJAG3b
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAGbNioOrpNM
