Chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Host, though I do own a new Jelanie shrine hanging on my door from magazine cutouts.
"Well...I see you've had your reunion. Can I talk to Jared for a minute, Mel?" I'm in trouble. I've never been afraid of Jeb. I mean, sure, the guy can be pretty scary. But he does everything with our best interests in mind. But maybe I've gone too far this time. I stole his nieces innocence. Maybe he didn't realize how together we really were.
"I actually just woke up a few minutes ago. We didn't really get a full reunion. Could I have just a few more minutes with Jared?" Mel asks. She's testing the limits. She's seeing how far she can push before Jeb breaks. She knows we're in trouble.
And from what happens next, there's no doubt in my mind that my feisty Mel is back with me where she belongs. She winds her fingers into my hair and pulls my face back to meet hers. Our lips meet, rekindling the flames right where we left off.
I should show some restraint. I know I should. But that's a little difficult with Mel pressing up against me, begging for more. So I let go. What else could I do? Don't answer that.
She's on her knees now, kneeling on the cot. My tongue slowly slips into her mouth, quickly becoming less and less gentle. Mel never liked gentle anyway. I run my hands down her arms, stopping to rest them on her waist. I use this placement to pull her closer to me. Closer, closer, closer. That's all I can think of.
Mel bites my lower lip and begins to tug on it. I'm in heaven.
And then there's another cough. And this time, Jeb doesn't just look uncomfortable. He looks furious. The gun in his hand definitely added to the angry look on his face.
He uses the gun to point at me, then motions for me to follow him out of Docs office. I give Mel one last kiss before leaving. "I love you." I whisper as I leave.
"I love you, too, Jar." She replies.
Dun dun dunnnnnnn...
