Slowly, I opened my eyes to take in the surroundings. I was completely naked in a large bed with Quint beside me. His head was resting on his arms as his back was revealed. I lied on my back facing the ceiling thinking about what happened. I didn't have the strength to get up so soon.
What have I done? Did I actually want this?
I rubbed a hand over my face and tried to pull the covers over my chest.
"Didn't think you'd be awake so soon"
I turned my head to the side to see him staring at me with his regular blue eyes. I let out a sigh and turned back to face the ceiling.
"Your eyes…" I began
"Yes…they change when I am going to kill or…when I want something…" he added with a smirk.
"God…you really are a monster…"
"Was it not your moans that I heard last night…your legs wrapped tight around my waist?"
I brushed both hands across my face and hair to keep from showing my blush and embarrassment. I pulled the covers down as I forced myself to leave the bed. I hissed from the soreness of my body.
"Something to remember me by"
I ignored his comment and continued to search for my underwear. I felt his eyes follow my every move as my naked self scavenged the floor for clothing. Remembering how he had ripped both my panties and bra that night, I walked over to my dress that was laying on the ground. Tugging it over my chest and zipping up the back I picked up my purse and looked for my phone.
2:10 a.m.
"Please…I need to go back"
The muscles on his back rolled as he moved slowly to get up from the bed. I searched for my shoes as his bare form walked over to a closet to pull out a pair of grey sweats.
I bent down to pick up my shoes and looked back over to see him walking towards the sofa to pull on his leather jacket.
I walked over to the elevator and waited for the doors to open. I felt him walk up behind me and in a few minutes the doors had opened. We walked in together and once he had pushed the button, the doors closed and we were on our way to the bottom floor.
"Today you will be working as an assistant…you will help in bringing us the materials we need in the lab if you choose to disobey us or nose your way into private matters I will see to it that your job is finished…as well as your life"
I gripped the railing behind me as I focused on the numbers decreasing.
"How did I know you were going to say that" I muttered
"That little stab you pulled earlier…I let it slide that time but you haven't seen the real monster yet baby"
"Oh believe me I could do a lot worse…baby"
He liked the way I retaliated and focused on the doors.
Once the doors opened, we walked out and left the lobby to be greeted by darkness. The sun wasn't up yet and the starts were still shining in the dark sky. As he made his way around to the driver's side I opened the door and smoothed the bottom of my dress before sitting.
He turned on the car without giving me a glance and once we left the area, I focused solely on the sky above through the window.
The drive back was very similar to the one going, we didn't talk and once he made his way to the side of my apartment I unbuckled myself and prepared to step out.
Before I could reach for the handle he gripped my thigh.
"Be there by 9:00, Julia"
I didn't reply and just stared at him. He gave my thigh a soft rub before I pushed myself out of the car and slammed the door shut. It didn't take long before he stepped on the gas and the car bolted out of the neighborhood. I turned towards the dumpster and shoved the shoes as much as I could into my bag so that I could climb on top. Making my way up to the sliding door I knocked a few times but saw no one. I was beginning to worry.
Liz…Lizzie…
Finally a small hand pulled the blinds aside and sleepy eyes met mine. She was too tired to greet me with such energy and unlocked the door slowly. I slid it open and walked in quietly.
"Lizzie I'm so sorry…I wanted to come earlier..."
I couldn't finish what I wanted to say after seeing how tired she was, I didn't need to say anymore. I placed my bag on top of a dining chair and threw the shoes on the ground next to the door. She walked back to her room and I made my way into the bathroom to wash myself.
Minutes later, I rubbed myself dry and dried my hair. It was already 4:00 by the time I was done picking out what I needed for the work day. I pulled on my night dress and rushed to bed. It felt so comfortable to be back in my own bed but I couldn't wash off the feelings he left. My body still felt sore and I couldn't help push back the feeling that…I liked what he did.
Being alone for so long has left me wanting some kind of physical comfort…and even though he wasn't the best person to get it from I certainly couldn't help but feel like I wanted it again.
I forced my eyelids down and took advantage of the time I had left to sleep.
…..
Alright, so I said that I would re-write chapter 3 but after going through it several times I thought it would be best to continue with it. Yes, she stabbed him but he let it pass since it's not the worst she has done so far. Later things will get a lot rockier. She is human so I want it to show that he doesn't want to transform completely and kill her. It seems his real character has a temper so I am trying to keep that as well. Anyway, thank you all so much for the good reviews. I am glad you are all enjoying it so far
