Chapter 15

Yeah, that was a mistake. I wasn't prepared for the effects of seeing him in my clothes.

Why did you choose sweatpants of all things. And that shirt, fits him so tight. It was slightly small on me, but it was downright sinful on him. C'mon we're basically the same size, why don't I look as hot in it?

"So, you didn't tell me, are you a vampire?"

I just might be with this newly acquired hearing. Since when can I hear my own heartbeat?

"Maybe."

"Ah, the thrill of danger. Exciting, isn't it?"

"Exciting? Wouldn't you be a deer in a lion's den?"

"Darling, that's the rush. But don't be fooled, we're equally matched. Your weakness is my strength and vice-versa."

He pulled his face away from my ears, smirking again. Why is he so close to me.

He stepped back with a whispered, "Breathe."

"Fuck you."

His face contorted with laughter.

"I don't mind. But shouldn't we leave now? Where are you taking me?"

"Just sit still and don't bother me when I'm driving."

"Tsk. Tsk. So demanding."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ride was silent enough. He seemed to realize the severity of the situation because he dropped his playful act once we were moving. It didn't last long.

"Your boss finally decided to explain why he captured me? Is that why you look so down; I grew on you and now you don't want him to kill me?"

"Do I really look like a kidnapper?"

He shrugged, "Yes."

"Wow. Then why is your guard down?"

"Because if your face is the last thing I get to see, then darling I don't mind going."

"Are you always such a fuckboy?"

"No, only with cute people."

"You know what that word means?"

"Definitely not, but it sounds cool, so I wear it with pride. Wait, is it something bad?"

"Not really"

"Why do I sense that that is all you're going to elaborate?"

"Because it is."

"I'll get it out of you somehow darling."

"We'll see."

"I thought we won't?"

Fuck. That brought up the memories and thoughts from this morning.

"Stop"

"Why? You're blushing! Oh my god, it's so slight but it's there. You like it when I twist your words? I can twist so much more than just your words."

His voice dropped to a sultry tone when he uttered that last sentence and I'm so glad that I'm sitting down. And thankful to my past self for thinking ahead and putting the medical folder on my lap.

"Like what? Your tongue? Would be great if you can put your mouth to better use than spewing nonsense."

"Wanna test it?"

"We're here. Get out and try not to escape. It'd be a real disaster."

"So, I am about to die."

"Not if you play your cards right." I couldn't help messing with him.

"Then can I get a goodbye kiss?"

"If you behave."
