Griffin's POV
I stared at Sophie's nearly naked form. Wondering if there was a more perfect subject in all the world. She was now clad in only pale blue boy-shorts and a matching pale blue bra.
I stared for the longest time, eternities, or so it seemed. When I finally looked up I was met with something I had never wanted to face.
The look on Sophie's face told me that I was truly the monster the Paladins made me out as. And not even because I was a Jumper.
No.
It was because I was undressing this terrified young woman who was barely more than a girl.
Sophie's POV
Just when I thought he was going to remove the last remnants of my clothing and have his way with me, he stopped.
Griffin's hands fell away and his eyes broke away from mine.
I became worried once again when he bent over slightly and put his shoulders to my lower belly. He hoisted my up off the hook and gently carried me into a different room. He plopped me down upon a bed and I was sure he was going to follow me down and press me into the quilt with his weight. But he didn't instead he pulled the blankets down and then covered me with them.
I lay there motionless was he exited but left the door open. When he came back he had a glass of water and a few pills in his hand.
He tried to get me to swallow the pills but I adamantly refused.
Griffin sighed and help out his hand. There were four small capsules in his palm.
"Pick one." They were the first words he had spoken since letting me down.
I glanced down at the pills and slowly motioned to one of the four pills.
Griffin reached over with his other hand and popped the pill in his mouth. I watched him dry swallow it.
"Satisfied its not poison?" He asked with the smallest of smirks.
"Drink the water." I commanded.
"Alright lassie. I'll take of swig if that's what floats your boat." He replied and took a big "swig" of water.
"Will you talk these now?" He asked me.
I slowly nodded.
He dropped the three remaining pills into my mouth and then pulled me into his lap and propped me up so I could take a swallow of water.
"Do you want the rest of this?" He asked, referring to the water.
I tensed, thinking it a trick.
"Or not. Fine by me." He replied quickly sensing my withdrawal.
Soon I felt my body relaxing. The pain in my arms faded. And peaceful bliss overcame me as I closed my eyes.
The last thing I felt were Griffin's arms hugging me close as I drifted off to sleep.
Griffin's POV
I was happy when I got Sophie to finally swallow the painkillers/sleeping pills. Unfortunately to get her to do so I ended up taking one. And something about me system- probably the Jumper part- made it so taking one pill as about the equivalent of taking five pills to a normal person.
Soon I was also drifting off. Sophie's small form cradled against my chest.
...
I awoke to Sophie squirming ever so slightly. I figured she was trying to escape and not wake me while she did so.
I smirked and pulled her closer.
She stilled when she realized that I was already awake.
"Why did you stop?" She asked, breaking the silence.
"Hm?" I questioned, not understanding.
"What made you stop?" She asked. This time it was impossible for me to not understand her question.
Sophie's POV
I waited for his reply, afraid that I had gone too far. Pushed his too hard, when he finally answered.
"You didn't have any hidden weapons." He replied simply.
This brought me up short. It couldn't be that simple.
I opened my mouth to asked another question. As if sensing this Griffin leapt from the bed and pulled off his shirt.
My heart skipped a beat.
Griffin turned back to me and dragged me off the bed and into his arms.
Such close contact with him skin to skin made me gasp.
Which is exactly what Griffin wanted.
And we Jumped.
...
I glanced around.
We were in an expensively furnished... bathroom?
"There is shampoo and stuff over there along with towels. I'll be back in a little while. If you aren't finished by the time I come back... I may have to come in there and join you." Griffin mummered in my ear. I couldn't help but shiver with excitement. I sickened me that I could feel that way about my kidnapper.
Griffin's POV
"I really can't stay away can I?" I asked myself as I Jumped to a different bathroom in the jumbo mansion with like fifty different bathrooms, leaving Sophie to shower alone.
I hadn't missed her shudder of disgust, exactly like the one in the bar.
"You stupid idiot! Incompetent fool!" I screamed and pounded against the wall of the shower, I gasped for air as I pressed my forehead against the hot tile.
Sophie's POV
I quickly showered, wrapped myself up in a towel, and began combing through my long, tangled locks.
Half of me, the stupid and incompetent half, was dissapointed that Griffin wasn't back in time to join me.
The other half of me sighed in relief. That was the sensible half.
About five or so minuets later Griffin reappeared in the bathroom with me. I had just put me boy-shorts back and and was getting ready to do the same with my bra when he stepped up behind me and said, "Allow me."
I yelped but then allowed him to fasten my bra. Holding it against my chest protectively the hole time.
"You know Sophie, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met." Griffin said into my ear.
I inhaled sharply and with that we Jumped.
...
Griffin Jumped us into a small dark room and then must have Jumped back out because he was no longer in the room with me.
"Griffin?" I whispered. "Griffin?" This time I shouted his name into the pitch black. I fell to the ground and sobbed.
He. Had. Left. Me.
Alone in a pitch black room.
All. Alone.
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I realized he was never coming back for me.
He had left me here alone to die.
