Taken
Chapter 10: Unclear Passion
Clare's POV
The time passed slowly and I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about that room and fears took over me.
What if I end up there again left to die
I saw myself there again starring at nothing but darkness slowly falling deeper and deeper to death. Clutching onto my sheets tightly, I tried to forget and come back to the reality where I was out but I just couldn't. I knew I couldn't be alone right now so against my better judgement, which told me to stay as far away from the man that put me in that horrid room in the first place, I found myself getting out of bed.
I crept out of my bed silently and made my way down the hall using my memory of the time I was there before. I hesitated to open the door as my hand wrapped around the doorknob. I finally twisted it but I didn't open, signaling it was locked.
I sighed debating on just leaving and dealing with another sleepless night. However, my hand developed a mind of it's own and before I knew it I was knocking on his door. I could hear it unlocking and the knob turned and the door became slightly ajar with him leaning in the door frame.
He stared at me with a blank expression not uttering a word; expecting me to explain myself. I didn't know what to say I rocked back and forth on my heels and I knew he would soon grow inpatient. My eyes fell to my feet as I whispered slightly inaudible,
"Don't be angry with me." His thumb lifted my chin and he whispered in the same tone,
"I'm not," before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the room before closing the door behind us.
I walked over to the edge of his bed and sat there staring at my fingers awkwardly,
"I can't sleep."
"I know that but what I don't get is why you come to me."
"I don't know what else to do."
I realized how lost I really was and I had no one. I'm reduced to seeking comfort in the who caused me most distress and I'm completely alone in dealing with that. As those thoughts ran through my mind I frowned and sadness took over me.
He sat next to me and cleared his throat.
"Why can't you sleep?"
His question brought the images back. It was just me and those four dark walls completely alone and no matter how hard I scream nothing happened but me losing my energy and strength.
"Clare."
I pulled my knees to my chest, "Just please, I really don't wanna go back in there," I clutched myself tighter, "please don't make me go back...it's hell in there." I placed my head on my knees and cried.
When I was there I was dying and after a number of days I was convinced of my own death, but then he came to my aid and I finally felt for that moment less alone and I will be forever grateful for that.
He was hesitant in his action but he snaked an arm around me in an effort to comfort me.
I relaxed into his touch needing the comfort and when he was sure it was okay he wrapped his other around me securely. I cried into his chest as he rubbed soothing circles on my back and whispered,
"Just relax."
Soon he got me calm and I stopped crying. He kept me in his arms and I wasn't attempting to escape his touch.
"Sorry." I whispered
"You didn't do anything wrong stop apologizing." His tone was so warm and inviting for a second all my sadness melted away.
I muttered a small, "Okay."
He continued to rub my back calming my every nerve,
"...Clare."
"Yes." I replied calmly,
"You can stay in here tonight...if you don't wanna be alone."
"I-In your bed?"
"Only if you want to."
"I want to." I replied shyly as a slight blush ghosted across my cheeks
"Clare look at me." I did and he wiped the remaining tears off my face with his thumbs, "go to sleep."
I sighed and crawled into his bed crawling under his blanket and he did the same. We were both facing each other so I took the liberty to move closer to him pressing my face to his chest. I looked up at him for any signs of protest to my action but instead he wrapped both of his arms around me letting me know this was just fine.
Eli's POV
I don't know how what made me ask her to stay but I did and for whatever reason she said yes. I guess I just didn't want her crying anymore but now she's in my arms. Why did I let this happen, and why can't I bring myself to let her go?
Her big blue eyes starred up at me and beamed as the light of the moon shinned on them through the small window above my bed. My arms were securely wrapped tightly around her waist telling her I won't let her go and she won't get away. Her plump pink lips were being bitten by her beautiful white teeth giving her an guiltless look.
I had to keep my eyes from roaming any lower. Everything below he waist was covered by the sheets but her curvy upper body was visible and she was so innocent she didn't notice it.
She moved even closer to me and I whispered,
"...Clare."
"Hmm." she questioned
My eyes roamed back to her lips. They looked so perfectly shaped so adorable. I had no idea I was leaning toward them until she did the same.
When our lips collided it felt amazing. Her lips quickly moved along with mine. I shifted onto my back while pulling her on top of me and she straddled my waist, our lips never breaking. I pressed my lips to hers harder forgetting my better judgement and all logic I had before it happened. She pressed her chest down to mine and parted her lips lightly allowing my tongue to slide into her mouth. She moaned as I grabbed her hips tighter exploring her mouth with my tongue.
Our tongues tangled together mine dominating hers over and over. I pulled her to me roughly leaving no space for even air to come between us. She gasped sharply then moaned in my mouth sending vibrations down my throat. I smirked against her lips before we pulled away needing air.
"Wow." she panted our noses still pressed together.
I before released the death grip I had on her hips.
She opened her mouth to say something but I gently pecked her lips once more silencing her,
"Go to sleep Clare."
She sighed and gently rested her head on my chest before falling asleep on top of me.
