Prompt: "Chase"


He regarded her silently.

"I...needed you," she offered, ashamed at her hope.

He tilted his head in a graceful, predatory movement, his expression unreadable. "And what exactly did you need me for?"

Her eyes closed as the words burst from her, "I need what you gave me then, I need the challenge, I need the chase..." She trailed off, feeling weak suddenly, full of insufficient words. "What now?" she asked in a small voice.

The air of threat and cool menace made her shiver as he leaned close, his voice as precise as a blade, "Perhaps, Sarah, you should run."
