In Your Arms

Chapter 5

?POV

Renesmee stared at Alec for a long time, watching him. She allowed her eyes to graze over his body. She started at the bottom; he was still wearing those biker boots he used to be so fond of. His black jeans clung to his body, hanging off his hips in that way. His t-shirt clung to his muscled arms, stretching across his chest. Finally her eyes reached his face, his sharp, defined jaw, high cheekbones and perfectly sculpted nose. And his dark hair, falling into his eyes…oh those fucking eyes. Those deep brown eyes that she could get lost in. She was surprised to find that he was looking at her at well, no looking was the wrong word; he was basically undressing her with his eyes.

Alec stood still, frozen, stunned by the girl in front of him. He thought he would never see her again; his eyes travelled hungrily up her body. He took in her slim legs, the way her jeans hugged her thighs and that delectable ass…it was mouth watering. His eyes darkened with hunger as they travelled over her hips, up her toned stomach, past her firm breasts, over her broad shoulders toward her full, red lips. They looked so plump and delicious, so kissable. Oh fuck it, she looked completely fuckable. His lips curled into a smirk when he found her staring at him, he saw the look in her eyes, the same look in his. Pure raw hunger.

Renesmee's eyes widened as his lips pulled up into that trademark smirk of his. She bit her lip and looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes. Her heart hammered in her chest and her breaths came in short, shallow gasps. He was here; Alec was standing in front of her right this second. The same Alec that left her two years ago left her because he was a player, because he wanted to get revenge on her family for something that he did.

"You stupid, pompous, foul, loathsome evil little…." Renesmee snapped before she could help herself. Alec grinned and purposely strode forward, grabbing Renesmee's ass and pulling her toward him, crushing her lips with his.

Alec almost lost it when she looked down, her teeth clamping down on her full bottom lip. Then the insults started flying and he couldn't control himself. He walked toward her, grabbing her delectable ass and pulling her closer. He crushed his lips against hers, feeling her go limp in his arms. He wound one arm around her waist to support her, already going hard at the thought of her limp in his arms. Man did he miss her, more so than he would care to admit. Why did he even let her go in the first place? It was like cold water splashed over him, he shook out of it, remembering why he left her. He pulled away, letting her go and walking out of the elevator before he could do something even more stupid.

I was left standing in the elevator, completely dumbstruck, numb and a little confused. Did Alec just kiss me? What the fuck? I slid down against the elevator wall, my head between my legs, my arms wrapped around myself. I was trying to keep myself together, but I was falling apart, breaking into tiny pieces like some fragile glass doll. I couldn't believe it, how could one guy make me feel all this. Make me feel like my heart was about to jump out of my chest and at the same time, my fingers was touching my fingers was touching my lips, remembering the way he kissed me, they way his arms wrapped around me.

I don't know how long I sat in that elevator, but eventually the door opened and four pairs of feet walked into the elevator.

"Oh no, did we do this?" I heard Shawn ask as a pair of strong, comforting arms wrapped around me and hauled me off the floor. I shook my head and Shawn breathed an audible sigh of relief. Cass and Abs were also in the elevator, both of them looking at me with concerned expressions. I was in Riley's strong arms, they were comforting, soft, welcoming. He carried me silently out of the elevator, into the apartment. Cass, Abs and Shawn followed wordlessly, no doubt waiting for an explanation.

"Let's get her cleaned up first," Riley said softly, kicking the door to the bathroom open. Cass nodded and disappeared into my room while Shawn and Abs settled in the living room. Riley deposited me on the toilet, looking at me with concerned blue eyes.

"Renesmee, baby, are you okay?" He asked softly, trailing his fingers along my cheek.

I nod, unable to do anything else. Cass came in, carrying a pair of shorts and a Mickey Mouse t-shirt. Riley stood up and they exchanged a glance before he left. Cass peeled me out of my wet clothes, and turned on the shower. I numbly got in, quickly washing myself and my hair. When I stepped out, Cass wrapped me in a warm towel and left me to get dressed. I looked up, seeing myself in the mirror for the first time. I almost screamed, clamping my hand down on my mouth.

I looked terrible, scary. My face was thin, my cheekbones protruding in an ugly manner. My eyes were red and puffy, swollen and sunken in.

No, no, no…

"No!" I cried, suddenly. I had enough of this shit, enough of being broken, enough of him.

I pulled my clothes on, towel drying my hair and stalking out of the bathroom, past Cass and Riley who were waiting by the door. They shot me concerned looks as I threw open the door, walking into the hallway. I walked over to the next door and knocked furiously. The door swung open, and to my surprise, Felix was standing there. He blinked, looking at me. Then he broke into a large grin and stepped aside, holding the door open.

"First door to your left," he said and I nodded in thanks. I walked in, barely noticing their place. I walked straight into his room. He was lying on his bed, his face in his pillow.

"What do you want?" He groaned.

"I want you to look at me," I said softly. His body stiffened as he recognized my voice, he sat up straight, looking at me. "Do you see what you've done to me Alec? Two years, and I can't let you go," I said lowly, my voice deadly.

"I've had enough Alec, from now on this-" I gestured between the two of us "-is over." I hissed. He smirked suddenly, standing up and walking toward me, backing me up against the wall, his arms on either side of me.

"Is that so?" He asked, smirking.

"Why do you do this to me?" I asked, closing my eyes as he reaches up to cup my cheek.

"Because, you are mine," he growled lowly, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on my lips." My eyes remained shut as I shook my head, breaking away from him.

"I am not yours, you lost me a long time ago," I said walking out of his room and not looking back.

Don't hate me, this had to happen. She has to break free from Alec, in some sort of way, she is still his, but she needs to break free and become stronger.
