Chapter 8

Rapunzel could feel the light behind her eyelids growing brighter and brighter. She opened her eyes and squinted against the sunlight. She shielded her eyes and instantly felt something was different.

She wasn't in her usual bed in her room. She couldn't hear Merida snoring lightly and she didn't smell her flower air freshener filling the room.

No, this room smelled like musk and something else. A smell she's smelled before. A smell that has always fill her with desire and need. It smelled like Jack.

She sat up carefully and looked around her. She was in a large bed that was covered in bue and silver silk sheets. She looked across the room and saw Jack lying in an armchair, his legs splayed out and his arms crossed acrossed his chest. His head was lulled to the side and his mouth set in a firm line.

She continued to sit there and took it all in. What a mess she was in. She remembered last night and Flynn going farther than she wanted him to. It wasn't supposed to play out like that. She just wanted to be friends with him and maybe flirt with him in front of Jack to make him jealous, but she didn't expect it to backfire so much.

She was so deep in thought that she didn't realize Jack had opened his eyes and he was looking right at her.

"Good morning", he said, his voice still husky from sleep.

"Morning", Rapunzel sighed and looked at her professor who was eyeing her carefully. The silence was killing her. She had to say something.

"Jack, I-", she started but he held up his finger to silence her. He got up and walked past her and walked into the room behind them. She assumed it was the bathroom. She got up and walked up behind him. He was brushing his teeth and she noted how sexy he looked just doing a simple task such as this.

He reached into a drawer and pulled out an extra toothbrush that was even opened yet and gave it to her. She was curious as to why he had an unopened toothbrush, but she didn't question it as she opened it and started to brush her teeth.

She refused to look at him as they fell into a pattern of brushing their teeth. It was strangely erotic just brushing their teeth as the air in the bathroom became charged with electric tension. She looked up at him and their eyes connected as they brushed. He put down his toothbrush and spit out the toothpaste.

He reached towards her and her body tensed, but she realized he was just reaching for his mouthwash that was next to her. She exhaled as he grabbed and he smiled. She spit out her toothpaste and noticed he left it open for her. She grabbed and swished the stinging minty liquid in her mouth and couldn't help but feel this felt so normal.

It felt so normal and right to be doing this morning routine, brushing their teeth, waking up. She couldn't look at him or else her mind would start running away from her and she needed to be sharp right now.

He was finished before her and he walked out of the bathroom. She closed the mouthwash and put it back where it was and walked into his bedroom where he was seated in the chair he slept in last night. He motioned for her to sit on his bed and she sat on it, crossing her legs.

"Talk", he told her instantly.

"About?" she tried.

"Rapunzel", he scourned. He gave her a look that said Don't bullshit me,"Last night."

"Oh, that", she looked down," It was nothing."

"Sure didn't look like nothing", his voice still husky, making her shiver.

She shrugged and fiddled with his silk sheet. It felt soft in her hands and she yearned to feel it on her bare back.

"Rapunzel", he called her and she looked up.

"It was what it looked like", Rapunzel rolled her eyes," You were there so why ask?"

"Well it looked like Mr. Rider was forcing himself onto you."

She shrugged again and looked down. Why couldn't he just let this go?

"Rapunzel!" he called her again and she looked up," Just tell me what happened."

"It's a long story, okay?" she told him, her voice shaking. She felt like she was being scolded by a parent. She hated this.

"I have time", he narrowed his eyes at her and she frowned back at him.

She sighed and took a deep breath," Look, long story short, Flynn dumped me last year because I wouldn't have sex with him and he was with Ana Arendelle. She apparently dumped him like, a few weeks ago so we've been hanging out. I just wanted to be friends, but I flirted with him a little. I liked the attention and..."

"And?" he pressured on. She didn't want to tell him. She didn't want to tell him that the real reason why she was hanging out with Flynn was to make Jack jealous...

She looked up and was taken aback by how Jack was looking at her. He looked severely annoyed," And?" He asked again.

The next sentence she told him barely in a whisper. Just do it. What's the worst that could happen? "And I did it to make you jealous."

"Rapunzel-"

"I mean", she started to speak quickly," I know it doesn't make any difference because anything that has to do with me, you don't want anything to do with. You've made it abundently clear that you don't want anything to happen between us, but I guess I was just hoping and now I feel so stupid and I don't know why I did any of it."

Rapunzel was breathing fast and Jack looked like he was just trying to decipher everything she just told him.

"So you were hanging out with Flynn just to make me jealous?" Jack asked her, his eyebrows raised.

"This is going to sound stupid", Rapunzel huffed.

"It already does Rapunzel!" he yelled at her and stood up. She lowered her eyes when he yelled at her, not wanting to see him angry," You're so fucking young."

That got her blood boiling," First of all, I'm seventeen. I'm not to young for you to shove your tongue in my mouth and grab at my chest in your classroom. Second, I wasn't with him! I was just hanging out with him. I didn't show any interest. I didn't lead him on or anything."

"You-!" Jack tried, but Rapunzel hopped off his bed and held up her hand.

"I'm not done!" she told him," Third, the reason as to why I was even in that damn classroom last night was because he told me he was upset about Ana breaking up with him and asked me if we could talk. I didn't know I was going to get fucking raped."

"Rapunzel, you have to think this shit through! What would you have done if I hadn't shown up?" he yelled back at her.

"I had it under control!" she told him and turned her back to face him.

"Yeah, it sure seemed like it", he scoffed," I'm sure you planned to be on your fucking back with your legs spread. I mean, who knows, if I arrived a minute later maybe I would have been able to see you with your skirt on."

Rapunzel turned and slapped him across the face. He grabbed his cheek and looked at her with wide eyes as her eyes filled with tears, her cheeks red.

"You don't need to make me feel like a fucking tramp", she cried," Why do you even fucking care Jack? Why are you giving me such a hard time about this? Why are you berating me like this? You're not my boyfriend! You're not my lover!"

"I want to be!" he yelled at her and she stopped talking and crying.

"What?" she whispered and narrowed her eyes.

"Don't you think I want to be all of those things?" he hissed through his teeth," Don't you think I want you? All I fucking think about is you, Rapunzel. When I walked into that classroom, all I saw was red. I was going to fucking kill him."

Rapunzel didn't say anything. Didn't show any emotion. Just let everything he was saying to her sink in.

"I was furious seeing what he was doing to you", he told her," You wanna know why? Because I want you to be mine, and I can't fucking have you."

He turned and ran his hand through his hair.

All Rapunzel wanted to do was run up to him and hug him, to kiss him...

"You should go", he told her, he seemed to deflate.

"What? she asked, confused by the sudden mood change," Why?"

He turned and glanced at her mouth, making her heart flutter," Because I want to kiss you, and if you don't leave then I will."

"I want you to kiss me though", Rapunzel breathed and rubbed her fingertips that were tingling. He looked at my mouth again before he turned around, crossing his arms.

She walked over to him slowly and placed her hand delicately on his back. She spread her fingers out and felt his back muscles.

"Rapunzel", he said in a low voice," You need to go."

"Jack", she said quietly and walked in front of him. His blue eyes looked at her through his eyelashes making her breath hitch," Why not just... I don't know, just do it. No one has to know."

He looked down again and she deflated. She tried and she was rejected again. She sighed and was about to turn around when his hand gripped her wrist. She looked at him and looked into his eyes. They were dark and full of desire.

"Fuck it", he growled and grabbed both sides of her face, pulling her lips to his and devouring her.

So there it was. Let me know what you thought!
