Dark Temptations
Chapter One:
When I woke, I felt groggy and disorientated. I examined my surroundings, with no recollection of how I got there. I lay in a four-poster bed, the red silk sheets wrapped around my tiny body, keeping the heat in. The curtains around the bed were closed which I felt was pointless because they were practically transparent. My clothes were scattered all over the floor. 'Where the fuck am I?' I wondered, scanning the large room around me. Its elegant, the furniture made from dark wood and the curtains were long, covering a huge window.
I decided I needed to get up and find out what was going on. Clambering out of bed, I grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around myself, aware that I was completely exposed. I snatched my blouse from the floor, taking my jeans along with it and I wanted to put them on but when I began to inspect them, I noticed they were ripped and in no state to be worn. 'How did this happen?' I gasped, holding my clothes at arms length. Throwing them back to the floor, I clung to the sheet that concealed my naked body and strolled through the bedroom door.
The corridors were long and there was a cold, bitterness in the air. I pulled the sheet around me, trying to keep myself warm. A massive door stood in front of me 'do I go in?' my mind and heart began to race. I didn't know what to expect, what I was going to find but I needed answers, I needed to know what was going on and who was responsible for the situation I now found myself in.
I made contact with the bronze doorknob and twisted it carefully, pushing the entrance as the lock shifted. I shuffled into the space created by the opening of the door and stared in disbelief at the stunning man in front of me, perched in this odd looking throne. 'Wow' I breathed and the man smirked at me, pleased by my reaction to him.
I knew this man; I'd met him before, six years ago when I was fifteen. Jareth, the goblin king…
