Okay so I've decided to do a chapter with BOTH of their P.O.V.'s just to change it up a bit, but next chapter will switch back to Haley's unless people want it otherwise. The replies I got were GREAT, and thank you to ever one who wrote one and/or read the story!

Let's go down now into
the darkness of your thoughts.
Hurry up now,we're waiting for us to fall.
I fall to pieces, now a broken mirror in your life.

The silence in black and white falling forward as she walks toward the light.
I know I'm outside of your window with my radio.

"Nikki FM" by Hawthorne Heights

Chapter 8

Haley was still cradled in Nathan's arms as they walked through the creepy kitchen. Each time she moved, Nathan thought she was trying to escape and tightened his arms. She had felt so soft in his arms; he hadn't wanted to let her go.

When he finally set her down, she stared at the tempting food. There was a loaf of bread, mashed potatoes, green beans, and… chopped liver.

"Eat," Nathan said.

"This is too much food," Haley said eyeing the liver. It looked absolutely repulsive. "Why don't you take the liver away, and it will be just enough."

"Liver is good for you," Nathan said.

"But I don't like liver," Haley said, trying to avoid eating the nasty food.

"You don't feed only yourself," Nathan shot back. Why was she making this so difficult? She needed to eat so she could be healthy.

That reminder reddened Haley's face, especially since there were two other men in the room. Now her pregnancy was likely to become information known to everyone.

That reminder had Haley glaring at him. "The baby and I do not like liver, nor will we eat it."

He stared at her for a moment before he replied in a grouchy tone, "Fine," then he turned to the cook, " but she should have wine to sooth her. Go get the bottle that I got sent from Tures." If she wouldn't eat the liver, he would find something that would insure her good health.

The cook stiffened, as did Haley, when he said,"I'll have to wake the butler to get the key."

"Then do it," Nathan said. The butler could be awakened. Haley needed this—No! The baby needed this. What are you thinking Nathan? You don't care about that criminal.

"It's not necessary. Really, I can't even drink the wine right now," Haley lied. "It will make me ill."

The cook looked hopefully towards Nathan, searching for confirmation, but Nathan just frowned at Haley.

"It's strange that you will only deny things that will inconvenience others," Nathan said, the thought oddly making Nathan feel soft towards her.

"That's not true," Haley bit back. He needed to shut his damn mouth.

"Really," Nathan said doubtfully, and then added a cold edge when he said," And if you ever contradict my orders again, you'll be beaten. If the chef would have obeyed you instead of me, he would have been fired."

Hearing that, the cook ran upstairs to go and wake the butler.

"You are disgusting in your spite," Haley seethed. "What are you going to do with that wine? I'm not going to drink it."

"Then I'll have it delivered to my room for my use—just as you'll be delivered when you're finished eating," Nathan said, looking forward to what the night would bring. "Brian?"

"Yes, sir, as soon as she's finished eating," he said.

Nathan stuck his finger under Haley's chin, her mouth chewing the food vigorously. "Don't stuff yourself—and don't be too long or else I'll have to come check on you, and you wouldn't want that."

When he left, Haley began to feel the anxiety in her stomach. He was going to rape her again. He pretty much guaranteed he would.

"You had better hurry, lady," Brian said. "He doesn't have a very high patience level."

"Do I look like I care?" Haley asked. "Either way I'm going to have to deal with his anger."

"You're a very unappreciative woman," Brian chided. "Not being grateful for the generosity Nathan has shown."

Haley almost choked on her food as she looked up at him before she spat, "What generosity?"

"He fed you after the kitchen had been closed. He's never done that before. Nobody would dare even if they were starving."

"He's feeding his child, not me," Haley scoffed. "You don't know anything. The man hates me."

"He hates? When he spent hours deciding whether or not to wake you, even though his need was great? He even carried you so you wouldn't catch a cold with your bare feet."

He came to me for his revenge, Haley thought. But why had he waited so long? Why hadn't he just come and gotten me?

"Does it not matter that I don't want his attention?" Haley asked.

"As I said before, you are unappreciative," Brian replied.

"Aren't you supposed to take me to him? I'm finished," Haley said. "It was excellent," Haley said the cook. "Thank you very much."

Before she could say anything, she was once again picked up from the ground. "Put me down, you lout. I am perfectly capable of walking by myself."

"Unappreciative," he mumbled, heading towards Nathan's room.

Haley started to kick and claw, causing Brian to drop her. It hurt her backside just a smidge, but Brian was the one injured.

"What's going on here?" asked Nathan's voice came from the doorway as he noticed Brian wheezing and clutching his face. Good god, he looked pathetic. Haley was looking strangely pleased with herself. What had she done? "What's wrong with Brian?"

"He thought to carry me as you had earlier, but found out that he needs to grow a bit more if he wants to force women to do things."

"So my new maid has claws?" Nathan said, his frustration building up. "I'll see to plucking them. Go inside now, Haley."

"I will not accept your punishments, Nath-"but Nathan proceeded to pick her up and carry her to his room. When they were inside and the door was closed, Nathan threw Haley on the bed.

Then he lowered himself on her slowly, making sure she could not budge under his weight. Her soft body was calling to him, waiting for him to work his magic, and he would. Oh, how he would, thought Nathan.

"Your willingness doesn't matter, you see?" he taunted, wanting to provoke her.

"I hate you."

"The feeling is heartily returned, more so, even," Nathan said, wearing a cruel smile.

Haley suddenly felt like crying, and tears gathered in her eyes, brightening them like brown jewels.

Nathan noticed and studied them thoughtfully, not particularly liking the change he saw in her, which, in turn, made him annoyed. She was supposed to be angry, not upset. "You're not thinking to make this easy on me? Where is the fight you promised?"

"You take too much pleasure in my hate, so why should I let you revel in it?" Haley said. "I prefer not to give it to you at all."

"Selfish girl," Nathan said, although there was suddenly real humor in his eyes. She could be quite enjoyable at times. "So you think to just stay there like a dead person and I'll grow tired of you?"

"Now that you mention it…" Haley trailed, confused about the weird mood he seemed to be in.

He laughed, perplexing her, and laughed even more when he saw her confusion. Then his hand came to her cheek, so gentle, and he rubbed it in a tantalizing fashion over her full lower lip.

"What am I going to do with you?" he asked, though it seemed to be more a question to him than Haley.

"Let me go."

"Never that," Nathan said quietly, feeling a slight ache in his heart at the thought. What was wrong with him? His eyes dropped to her lips. "Are you a virgin here, too, as you were in other areas?"

He had warmth to his eyes now, and a smile that made his handsome face light up. His lips came onto hers gently.

Haley had seen it coming, but she hadn't been prepared for the sensations she would feel. His tongue licked at her lips, sending chills coursing through Haley's body. His tongue slipped through her teeth to caress her own, and heat went straight to Haley's core.

Haley had never been kissed before, yet she somehow knew that Nathan's was better than most.

"Just as I suspected, another virgin territory," Nathan said, peculiarly happy that no other man had been with her. "Were you locked away or something before I found you?"

Haley couldn't seem to find a defense against the feelings he was causing, so she did the one thing she could.

"You didn't find me, "Haley said. "You were found for me. Don't ever forget that. Remember that this isn't what you really want. Let me go, Nathan."

He answered her with another kiss, except this time, the kiss was not gentle or calming, it was angry and hard.

He was furious with her, as she had hoped he would be, but the result was not what she had planned. She hadn't figured that out until Nathan had whispered, "Beg me," and she had reached a point of such frustration that she did just that.

Okay so I know this chapter was long but hopefully it was good! Everyone who read this chapter and my story, you already know how much I appreciate you guys, even if you don't reply.

Don't forget to mention if you want the next chapter to be in both again or if you want it back to Haley's P.O.V. It's fun for me either way, so it's up to you guys to decide!

Love,

Sadie
