That night my mind was racing with thoughts. A life other than this? Did it truly exist? I found my self residing to watch her sleep, she was beautiful. But she wasn't a quiet sleeper, she talked quite a lot. And I was elated to know she dreamed of me. My name tumbled from her lips time and time again, a pleasant smile on her face. Perhaps today she would trust me more. I couldn't stay with her long, I had duties whether I liked them or not. The thought of keeping her in this room was terrible but I had no other options for her. At least she wouldn't starve while I was away.
I wished the sun would trickle in as I knew it rose for the city above. I imagined her skin beneath its warm rays and I longed to let her out into its light. She stirred, sleep falling away from her mind. She stretched across the bed like a napping cat her eyes struggling to keep the curtain of sleep across them.
"Morning." I said in a velvety tone.
"Mmm… morning." She said as a yawn escaped her lips. She curled against a pillow, the blue shirt crumpled high exposing the supple skin of her thigh. She tempted me with every breath she took it seemed. "Are you going to eat me now?" she asked.
"I hadn't planned on it." That was a lie, I wanted to devour her but not in the way she was asking.
"Well that's good. Are you going to let me go then?"
"If I could." That was the truth. She sat up and pouted, pulling her fingers through her sleep tousled hair.
"Then what are you going to do with me?"
"Unfortunately I'm going to keep you safely inside this room all day."
"How deathly boring…" she sighed.
"I'm sorry. You're free to roam these rooms to find whatever you will to amuse yourself. But don't leave them, don't go out into the hallways. I can't protect you. For now you're safe in here."
"What if I did leave?"
"Death, or worse awaits you outside these doors. Promise me you'll stay in here?"
"I'll think about it." She retorted. I decided to take that as a yes. I heard her stomach growl with hunger.
"You should eat. I have to go. I'll be back tonight." I allowed myself once last glance at her before I had to wash all thoughts of her form my mind, she truly was beautiful. The shirt had come slightly undone and twisted around her. Her breasts were barely hidden by the collar of my shirt, her thighs completely exposed as a pillow hid from my view what I wanted most. She would truly be my undoing. "Behave." Was all I could say before making my self leave her there.
