Agreements

Chapter 8

"Amelia. Bed. Now." Banes deep Latino voice echoed throughout the house. Amelia was down in the kitchen, mixing up some cake mix, but chose to not to answer him. She heard Banes heavy footsteps leave her room and coming down the stairs quickly.

It was three weeks after the whole kidnapping incident; Amelias wounds had healed up and she did not have headaches anymore. However; Bane treated her like she had all her bones broken.

Amelia was making a cake for the three men in her left to say thank you for everything. When she was home she was always baking things for herself and her father. She learned how to bake from her mother before she got sick. Plus Amelia hated the taste of store bought bread; to stale.

She was pouring the batter into the butted cake pan when Bane entered the room with his usual calm demeanor and approached her. Amelia put the bowl into the sink and put the cake into the pre-heated oven.

Bane reached to scoop her up but Amelia quickly ran to the other side of the kitchen and folded her arms. "Amelia, come; lie down."

She shook her head no and went to the strawberries she left in a bowl and started to wash them in the sink. Bane folded his arms and leaned against the counter, his eyes locked on her.

She peeked at him but blushed a little; his calm face could be very sexy from time to time; just being alone with a man made her body lock up. But she needed to stand her ground to Bane; he could not treat her like a baby.

"I have a cake in the oven Bane, so I can't go lie down, I have to stay here and watch it." She started to cut the tops off the strawberries and put them in a clean bowl, Bane got closer to her, making her tense up more.

Slowly ran his massive hand up her back which made her jump, making her blush. "Bane. Stop. Please."

His hand got up to her neck where he traced her right shoulder and held it softly. Amelia stopped breathing and started to shiver.

"B-bane. What are you." He turned her slowly to face him; Amelia refused to look up at him, her whole body trembling.

He slid the knife out of her hand and placed it slowly onto the counter. Putting thumb under her chin and making her look up; their breathing synced again. "Amliea…dejar de ser tan quisquilloso mi pequeño sol; come to bed."

He scooped her up tightly into his arms; bridal style; and walked toward the stairs. "H-HEY! That's not fair! Let go!" She started smacking his pecks but to she figured that it was like paper hitting a steel bar.

Amelia knew she had to think of a different way to get him to let her go. She looked up at his neck and gulped; she immediately jumped at his neck, giving it a love nip; letting out a soft moan.

Bane stopped dead in his tracks and his grip loosened; giving her a chance to escape. "There, now you need…to…" She looked up at him and gulped in terror. The look on his face was filled of pure desire and lust. He slowly turned to her and slowly approached her, his hands reaching for her. "THAT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING! THAT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING!" Her face was bright red as he pinned her against the wall but she put her hand over her mouth before he could kiss her.

Bane scowled at her; the look of sexual frustration washed over him which made him stand up straight. "You kiss me, hold me, ask me to sleep in your bed but keep saying it does not mean a thing?! Amelia make up your mind! Tu corazón robar ladrón!"

He walked away quickly to his room and slammed the door behind him. Amelia was speechless, slowly sinking toward the floor. She honestly did not know what to say to that.

Bane had a point, for the last few weeks she had let him get closer to her, but every time he wanted to express his feelings through touching; she would run from him. Getting up slowly from the floor, she headed back to the kitchen to make sure that the cake wouldn't burn.

A few hours later, Amelia had piece of cake on a small plate, heading up to Banes room. She hoped that this would be an acceptable peace offering. Amelia felt really bad for leading him on like she has been for the past couple of weeks.

She knocked on the door softly; but there was no answer. "Bane…Bane can..I come in?" Still no answer, taking a big gulp she slowly opened the door; peeking into the room. He was not in his bed room, but she heard water running; probably taking a shower.

She decided to place the cake on his nightstand and would leave quickly, not wanting to impose on him anymore then she has been. On the bed was a manila envelope, with a piece of paper sticking out, with her name on it.

Slowly she picked it up and pulled out the paper, reading the file slowly. She could not believe it; on it was everything you could know about her, general information, personal information…who found out that she had an irrational fear moths?!

"I told you I knew everything about you." She turned her head and blushed very red, seeing Bane standing in only a towel.

Covering her face with the piece of paper; she started to tremble. "I-I'm so sorry Bane! I-I just wanted to give you some cake. And to say…sorry…about earlier…i…" She couldn't speak anymore; the words got stuck in her throat.

His footsteps went to his dresser drawer, opening a drawer; she heard rusting causing her to peek. He had slid on grey sweatpants which made her let out a sign of relief. She looked down at the paper and looked up at him. "How did you get all this information on me."

"That is classified information my dear, it is better if you didn't know." Amelia grunted and turned to him, tossing the paper on the bed. "Bane this…this is why I can not..get close to you. You know all these things about me but I know nothing about you."

"I told you about me past Se-" Amelia shook her head and interrupted "You told me about your past in prison and your past criminal life, not about you! Hell I don't even know your real name! You keep everything away from me and then expect me to let you in with open arms Bane! Its…its…."

She looked away from Bane and held her breath; it had been a long time scene she had yelled at someone like this. It always made her embarrassed when she got all…'yelly'. Just then she felt Banes arms come around her, holding her tightly against his chest. She closed her eyes and bit her lip; not knowing how to feel again.

"I am sorry for raising my voice at you Amelia, I forget how fragile and timid you are. But I warn you, it is hard for me to share with others…it just is not in my nature." They both stood there quietly for a minute.

"Then just…tell me your name." He chuckled softly; "Amelia my name is Bane."

She shook her head at him and looked up at him, with a small smile on her face, "No…your real name." This made Bane look at her with a puzzled look.

"My…real name is…I don't have a real name. I was never given one." Amelia made a sad look, not knowing way to say.

"W-Well I like Bane…Bane is…a nice name.." They locked eyes which made Amelia blush slightly, giving a small smile.

"See…now that wasen't so hard was it?" Bane stared into her eyes; slowly he move in to kiss her, she let him kiss her.

"You let me in…I'll let you in…" He leaned in again and gave her a deep kiss.

He pulled her body up against hers, making her shiver a bit but she continued to kiss him. The sexual frustration between was coming close to a boil, she wanted him but she knew it was not a good idea to let 'him in".

She slowed her kissing and looked up at him, breathing heavily, "T-That's enough…ok…if you want to sleep in my bed again you may."

"I do not really sleep, I meditate." Bane stared down at her but Amelia chuckled softly, giving him a soft hug.
