TOBIAS'S POV

When she leaned in I had to use all my force to not reach out and touch her face, her shoulders, anything; but I couldn't .I needed her to stop doing that thing with her lips, when she licked them it made them look so juicy, so tender that I had to try my best to resist, to not kiss her. She knew she had this effect on me, she used it to her advantage but I loved her for it. When she spoke into my ear the hot wisps of her breath tickled my insides and I had to swallow hard to avoid turning my head to kiss her. Although she spoke silently, I heard her loud and clear:

'You're coming with me, Mr Eaton'

Her slim hand fitted into mine and pulled me out the chair faster than I could protest. Her palm, resting against mine still sent shivers through me but the ferocity in which she was pulling added to the chills.

She pulled me out the door of our apartment, leaving me just enough time to close it behind me as she bolted down the tunnel that lead toward the chasm. I could hear the water splashing over the rocks, although in the day time the pit was heaving its stillness brought content to my face as now I could hear the pure beauty of nature working far ahead of me. The sensation of Tris dragging me through a dark tunnel, that I didn't recognise, pulled me out of my daydream. It had no lighting, other than the occasional glow that was somehow being admitted from a small hole dug into the wall.

A more than cool breeze radiated from the space ahead, I still could see very little but I had trust in Tris to guide me. Her pace began to slow dramatically and almost brought us to a walk, she still grasped my hand as if if she let go I would leave and never come back, that would never happen she doesn't know how much I really love her. The darkness from the tunnel had subsided a little and now I could see the slim yet beautiful figure of Tris bobbing up and down in front of me. We reached what looked like a ledge, I was afraid to look, I clenched my jaw and peered over; we stood about 6 metres off the ground. The freezing wind had made its way into my bones causing me to tense every muscle to keep warm.

My breathing steadied when we both stepped back from the ledge, I could see her teethy grin smiling up at me. I pulled her closer to me, so close I could smell her, that sweet vanilla soap smell that always clung to her, the smell I would always associate with her. She looked down again.

'Ready?' she asked her voice was slightly hoarse but I knew the running hadn't helped.

'For what?!' I replied quickly, beginning to feel nervous of what she might be suggesting that we do.

I peered over the edge and swallowed hard, this wasn't nearly as high as the Ferris wheel but the black abyss beneath me still enforced fear through every nerve .I could see Tris's teeth through the darkness, almost shining. She had never answered my question which could only mean she was planning something crazy. I swallowed again.

'Tobias?' she said catching my eye

'Do you trust me?' pure curiosity seemed to be spreading across her crystal blue eyes.

'Of course Tris, with my life' I replied swiftly never breaking her gaze.

'Then take my hand ,and don't let go until I say' the words were branded on my mind, I could tell the outcome of this could be a lot worse than that one 'unprotected' night. I grabbed her hand quickly, her finger folded with mine. Even in this freezing wind she seemed to be warm. I looked briefly to her, before dragging my eyes to look down into the abyss below.
