Don't Look Down On Me

Last time on Don't Look Down On Me: "You can stay here," Isaid. "Until you have a job and can afford to live on you own."

To my utter astonishment, she said, "No."

Chapter 2: Her Blood

"Annabeth, I want to help you," I said.

"I don't want your help." she spat.

I put a hand on her knee then felt a shock of pain as I hit the floor. She wrapped her hands around my throat, her nails were pressed in it dangerously but she didn't do it hard enough that it physically hurt. I stared at her wide eyed but didn't make any move to stop her.

"Don't ever touch me," she said, her words were like acid, ripping through me. The murderous look in her eyes scared me horribly and yet, I still couldn't bring myself to stop her.

Her chest heaved in anger-filled huffs, I hesitantly placed my hands over her wrists. Her eyes flashed but she saw I wasn't trying to hurt her. She swallowed and bit her lip until a thin line of blood trickled down her mouth. It fell on my lip and, as sick as it sounds, it had a better taste than the usual copper. I licked the blood off and my eyes lost focus for a second, she saw what was happening and held a finger over my lips. She wiped the blood off and licked her finger, I didn't know how to react but I felt how much it excited me.

I sat up slowly, Annabeth slid down my stomach to the place that needed most attention. I wanted to kiss her so bad but I didn't know how she'd react. Her eyes were impassable, I had no idea what she was thinking, I wished I did, but I didn't. Just as I was about to kiss her, she climbed off me, I fell back to the ground and stared at the ceiling. I was confused as to how she was able to make me have such strange emotions.

I looked up and saw her taking off her clothes, she wasn't looking at me so I felt like she wasn't about to do what I so so wanted her to. "Where are my clothes?" she demanded.

"I threw them away."

"Why? Why would you do that? That's all I have."

"You can have my clothes."

"I don't want your clothes."

She put my shirt back on in resignation and finally looked at me, she smirked. "What?" I asked uncomfortably.

"You want me," she stated.

"How do you know?" I asked, trying to inconspicuously hide the evidence that was in clear view. I settled on placing my hands between my legs.

"What are you hiding, Percy?"

I was hypnotized by the way she said my name, I didn't notice her saunter over. Before I knew it, she forced my hands away from my body leaving me exposed to her mercy. I wasn't naked but my arousal was very evident through my jeans.

I jerked my hands away from her and turned around in embarrassment. "First, you lead me on, then you embarrass me. You're unbelievable."

"I was just having a little fun," she said.

I turned around and pushed past her, I caught a glimpse of her perfect face and had to resist the urge to take her. I swallowed hard and pretended to look around for something, I knew she was watching me in amusement.

"Okay, fine, I'm sorry." she apologized.

I didn't know this girl but she was content with toying with me. It took everything I had to stay in control. And she knew it. "You can sleep here whenever." I told her. Something about her made me hand her one of my numerous spare keys (I always lost them so I had to make a million copies).

She looked at the key, she didn't take it but her fingers twitched, she went back to biting her lip and it once again began to bleed. This time, I was the one to touch my finger to it and lick the sweet tasting blood off her perfect lips. It became a game between me and her, who could last longer. She cupped her hand over mine and took the key, she kept her eyes locked with mine as she put it in her pocket.

I smiled, knowing I had won this round, but I didn't let my happiness escalate too high, there would be many more rounds to come. I finally dropped my gaze to her chest, her breasts were perky and fairly big. She crossed her arms, and raised her eyebrows, definitely a sign that she didn't like what I was doing.

"Come on," I told her. "There's someone I want you to meet."

I offered her my hand, and when she hesitantly placed hers over it, I knew that my life was about to change. And I smiled.
