The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.371Please respect copyright.PENANAUxOjVptP7q
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEzu9uXOAzo
The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"371Please respect copyright.PENANAsm7cKsGkGG
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6RZYob8Ir4
The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.371Please respect copyright.PENANAOYlsljynhd
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFMq6dmyImW
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"371Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rzf2pIBb9
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFVF5JkVeKY
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.371Please respect copyright.PENANAfi1L7VR43n
371Please respect copyright.PENANAtNRq4TJwdp
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."371Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ7u4hSVDM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAhQCByrfPt5
"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.371Please respect copyright.PENANAnlRag1nMLM
371Please respect copyright.PENANAaWMUUGGuKr
"I did not say that."371Please respect copyright.PENANAjnIReP73Gf

He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.371Please respect copyright.PENANARYF4ivqjt1
371Please respect copyright.PENANAm3dzjhakf0
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.371Please respect copyright.PENANAQRx3gPpPM7
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWrECIS1w5z
"Because you wanted me to do it."371Please respect copyright.PENANAwuF4P7FS95
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWmY048nbhv
"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.371Please respect copyright.PENANASLOCLNnFDa
371Please respect copyright.PENANArfXtWaHuSE
"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."371Please respect copyright.PENANAJO7UtTLoVG
371Please respect copyright.PENANANH1HYJINbN
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.371Please respect copyright.PENANA4JKP09HDV7

I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.371Please respect copyright.PENANAPdyEAi3zU0
371Please respect copyright.PENANAsnxhmbdiI5
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.371Please respect copyright.PENANAhIiHwwhu5x
371Please respect copyright.PENANAbGBQTuHQby
I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.371Please respect copyright.PENANAyqDxy9T0db
371Please respect copyright.PENANATA3Df8iDsY
"I'm sorry about my rudeness last night. I'm having a hard time sleeping, you see, and I've been a little on edge."371Please respect copyright.PENANAYgLOQP14RQ
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUeegToScf5
He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.371Please respect copyright.PENANAhab0PwgtGW
371Please respect copyright.PENANANXb4U906mu
"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.371Please respect copyright.PENANAEOyUQmAYzV
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWdVrQlq7VB
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.371Please respect copyright.PENANAnDEW0defMw
371Please respect copyright.PENANA50EQYGtLRC
"Oh, don't do that. I'm not going to hurt you."371Please respect copyright.PENANAQrEAIlBqUb
371Please respect copyright.PENANA4PJ3nxMqdA
He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.371Please respect copyright.PENANAhS5rYNYCgR
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQRauWaRr62
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.371Please respect copyright.PENANA5VucrUoznO
371Please respect copyright.PENANAyC36FqW2oQ
A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."371Please respect copyright.PENANAFwaK29az85
371Please respect copyright.PENANANiQKk2JG4Y
What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.371Please respect copyright.PENANACCiTXM9dax
