Chapter 38
Resistance
Silas stands in the doorway of his bedroom motionless with nothing but a blank expression on his face. He can't even seem to come to terms with what his eyes are showing him. On his bed lay a very naked Sam wrapped in a thin layer of silver sheets. "Hello Silas" she greets him. There's a brief moment of reticence. "What are you doing here?" he asks her calmly.
Sam sits herself up, making sure the layer of cloth stays connected to her body. "Just making myself comfortable." Silas takes a few steps toward her carefully scanning his thoughts and surroundings. "Ok, here's a better question. How'd you get into my house?" In one swift motion Sam grabs the set of keys off the nightstand and tosses them to Silas. He takes a moment to observe the key before returning his attention back to her.
"Where did you get this?" he asks. "Aren't you just full of questions tonight?" "Well forgive me if I see it as unusual to come home after a long day and find a naked woman in my bed." Sam leans forward smiling at his comment. "You act as if it's a bad thing?" He doesn't think to reply. Instead he just stares blankly at her. "You seem stressed" she says seductively. "Why don't you come join me?" "You are persistent."A small sarcastic laugh creeps over his voice. "Very."
"What's the fun of the game if you can't keep up right?" "Oh so this is a game?" Sam crawls to the edge of the bed, well keeping Silas's attention. "That depends on if you wish to play or not." Silas rolls his eyes. "You can't avoid me forever Silas." He tries to shake his attention as she plays with her long dark hair, but every motion seems to redirect him. The sheet covers her body in a way that shows every single curve and perfection. "You need to leave." Sam quickly locks her eyes on his, starting to see through his mask. "I'm not convinced that's really what you want." "It is." "Who are you trying to convince?"
The questionable smile on her face begins to make Silas rethink his request. His eyes gaze deeply into hers locked on the beautiful women sitting in front of him. "Come on Silas" she says seeing that she's caught his attention. "I can see how hard you're trying to resist… but in time the resisting will only wear you down." Honestly she is right. The urge is becoming stronger and harder to control. But quickly he's cut off with the thought of what Ava had told him hours before. "Don't let her. Because once she's knocked all your walls down your whole life gets taken down with it."
"What's it going to take for you to leave me alone?" he asks staying calm yet still aggressive. There's a light in her that keeps glowing no matter how hard he tries to push her back. "I told you before… I don't give up that easy." "Trust me. You've made everything abundantly clear." Sam laughs. Her eyes hold on his seductively locking him once more. "Not everything." she says. Slowly inching herself off the bed Sam makes her way over to Silas and begins to walk around him. "This sheets not clear… not in the slightest." He stands frozen, barely allowing his eyes to follow. "Sure it may be thin… but it's not see through."
Suddenly Sam stops inches away and waits. "Where are you going with this?" he asks. She smiles sexily at him. "Every question is paired with an answer... and just like human relationships it takes time to find that certain pair….. but I think you know yours." Sam steps closer and immediately kisses him. Before he can react she's already pulled away still concentrated on him. Her hands firmly gripping the sheets hugging her body. Silas stays as stone. Again not knowing how to feel or react. "Tell me Silas…" she starts. The smile now exchanged for a serious look. "What do you want?"
It was if time had come to a screeching halt. And all but her and Silas were still moving forward. He stares at her. Her face practically glowing in the dimly lit room. The only sort of lighting surging off the moon through a clear glass window. For no less than a millisecond his eyes quickly break away from her face, taking a short glance at the sheet securely wrapped around her perfect body. He promptly returns his sights. A sexy side smile arouses on Sam's face. Relaxed she grabs both ends of the sheet and casually opens it, revealing her utterly naked body to him. Her hands drop the cloth feeling no shame.
Silas's stunning blue eyes stay cinched on her face, refusing to take a peek at what has just been exposed. Holding his ground has become almost unattainable. It's taken everything in him to keep himself shielded from his inner most wants and desires. The room is pierced with the sound of mute.
