Hayden’s lips pressed against mine firmly and I surrendered to him completely. Finally, I could see a glimpse of his feelings. His lips on mine were warm but it wasn’t gentle. His kiss deepened suddenly, his tongue parted my lips and plunged deep into my mouth. I let him taste me and punish me with his kiss.
The warmth of his lips on mine, his tongue inside my mouth and his body so close to me, reminded me that he was here with me and that the was still alive. I was scared of him, but I couldn’t deny the sense of relief that flooded my heart and warmed my body.
Hayden’s kiss became more demanding as his tongue grinded against mine, making me moan and whimper into his mouth. His hands caressed my waist before pulling me closer to him until our bodies were pressed up tightly against each other. He’s so warm.
I didn’t know what I was thinking or what made me do it but before I knew what was happening to me, I began kissing him back. Lifting my arms up, I wound my arms around his neck and pulled him down closer to me so that I could kiss him back. I felt Hayden stiffening a little in surprise at my initiating action.
Hayden stared deep into my eyes when our kiss ended, and I didn’t look away. Before I lost my courage or the craziness inside of me, I had to do it now. I placed a hand on his cheek as I looked back into his captivating blue eyes. These are the eyes of a monster...
"Thank you...for saving me, Hayden," I said, meaning every word.
I never knew that thanking someone could be this hard or this touching before. For a moment, I believed that time could come to a pause and that if it could, it would feel just like this. After those honest words left my lips, I felt exposed and vulnerable. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t read the few flickers of emotions that registered in Hayden’s clear blue eyes.
It was very late at night and not a soul or a car passed by as we stood there kissing each other in front of the building. The wind blew by, fluttering my long hair all around me. It really felt like there was just the two of us alone in the world.
"Umm...my...room..." I whispered as he walked past my room without as much as glancing at the door.
I sighed to myself as I realized that Hayden had decided to take me to his room and that no matter what I said, he probably wouldn’t change his mind. Hayden closed the door to his bedroom behind him and locked it firmly before carrying me to his bed. I wanted to scream but realized that it would probably not get me anywhere...
I bet if I glanced up on the ceiling of his bedroom right now, I would see a bright red sign in flashing lights saying: ’Punishment Time’.
I let out a cry when Hayden dumped me onto this bed. The softness of the mattress pressed against my back, and I tried to sit up a little. My body felt sore and tired from all that had happened. This night was proving to be a very long one.
Surprisingly, Hayden did not follow me onto the bed. Instead, he grabbed a chair and brought it next to the bed and sat down on it. All the while, his blue eyes continued to watch me intently. I wondered what he was thinking and what he was feeling...if anything.
The silence was suffocating as I watched him sit there with his hands hanging loosely in between his knees as he watched me. If he wanted to say something to me, I wished that he would just say it.
"Hayden?" I called out his name questioningly. My voice shaking a lot more than I had thought that it would.
