I watched them talk for a few minutes longing for Ranger to leave and for Dark to wrap his strong arms around me agian. I hated myself for feeling so needing of
that touch, the touch I had been denied for so long. Finally Dark walked back over to me, it had only been a few minutes but it felt like forever and a day.
"Princess, I've got some gang business to take care of. Do you want to stay here or come with?" he asked brushing his bangs back with hand. I didn't have to even think, my mind wasn't working anyway as I stared into Dark's eyes.
"Coming with," I answered quickly. Dark looked me over and nodded.
"Just remember Princess, this is business, there will be time for fun later," he stated flashing me that smile. I nodded my heart beating in my chest as Dark climbed on his bike and pulled me on behind him. "You know the drill by now, just hold on tight," Dark stated wrapping my gloved hands around his waist and then he leaned back and gently kissed her on the lips. "You are something else, you know that Princess?" he asked breaking the kiss slowly and starting the bike. I held on to him tightly, every part of me still in a daze. Is this what love feels like? I wondered thankful there were no telepaths around here to pick up my thoughts. That's when I realized I no longer cared if someone did read my thoughts, I didn't care about anything. I closed my eyes slightly and allowed myself to day dream a little. I had heard about sex and love from the other girls at the Institute, Jean seemed particulary happy to explain everything that she and Scott did behind the closed door of his room. I had never believed what she had said, but now, I wasn't so sure she was lying. The rush I felt when Dark touched or even just smiled at me made me want to, to melt, no that didn't sound right. It was like I had no phsycial body, no restraints, that I could do anything. Suddenly I felt the bike stop.
"We're here, Princess," Dark's voice said shaking me out of my daydreaming and back into reality. I looked around. We were in a different part of town, a bad one by the looks of it. The buildings were all slate gray and scuffed up. The sky was even different, darker somehow. I shivered slightly not because it was cold, but it was like a chill had just set into my body, like this place was someplace bad.
"Where are we?" I whispered softly.
"Industrial," Dark stated coldly like he didn't want to be here either. I nodded and followed him as he walked into one of the concrete looking buildings. The inside was empty except for years worth of dust and a small grubby looking box. "That's what we're here for," Dark explaned grabbing the box and nodding to me that we should get out of here. I didn't argue or even say anything as we got back on the bike, the box stored in a small compartment that must have been custom added.
