Feb. 7th: Thrill – 100 words – Escape scene!
Derek Morgan/Elle Greenaway
"Run, Elle, run!"
Elle pumped her legs faster at Morgan's urgent orders. She was starting to feel the ache, but compared to the heat at her back, well...sore legs were easier to deal with.
A sharp tug on her arm sent her flying off to the side of a building, and she was practically shoved down the hall. The next thing she knew, there was a loud bang, and there was a heavy weight hovering over her.
There was a moment of silence before she heard the rapid breathing from above. Morgan backed off, leaning against the wall, giving Elle space to readjust and get her heart rate back to normal.
"Did I mention...I absolutely hate...these practice exercises?" she finally managed to say. God, she needed some water, and fast.
"Really? I think they're kinda fun." Morgan flashed a grin at her.
Elle smacked his arm before standing, unable to hold back the smile at his mock "ow" in response. "I'm still getting that dinner for doing this on a Saturday, right?"she asked, grinning down at him.
"Derek Morgan never goes back on a promise," he assured her, as he tossed her her water bottle.
