I should head back. It’s too late in the night now and Hayden is probably sleeping. If I knock on his door now, I’d just disturb him and wake him up from his slumber. So many reasons ran through my mind as I stood there in front of his door in silence without moving. My body wouldn’t move as my fear started taking over.
Suddenly, all I wanted to do was walk away from the door and head back to the safety and sanctuary of my own bedroom.
Deep down, I knew that all those reasons that my mind was conjuring up were nothing more than convenient excuses for me to head back so that I wouldn’t have to face Hayden right now. The truth was that I was scared.
While I stood there rooted to the spot, to my utmost disbelief, the large door behind me creaked opened and light shone into the dark hallway. It seemed like my choice was just made for me. My body froze in place in shock as more light shone into the dark hallway. Slowly, I managed to move my body and turned my neck around towards the opened door.
A dark shadowy silhouette stood in the doorway.
"There’s only one reason a woman would visit a man’s room this late at night..." a cold chilly voice spoke.
Suddenly, it felt like I was trapped into a horror movie and had come face to face with a beast in a haunted mansion. I wanted to run for my life, but my feet felt like they were glued firmly to the floor. For the life of me, I couldn’t move, and the shadowy figure took a step and then another step closer to me.
I’m going to be devoured. He’s going to eat me alive!
I closed my eyes tightly as small, frightened cries escaped my lips. My hands shook madly before I used them to cover my ears. The monster came to stand right in front of me and its hand reached out to grab my wrist. Suddenly, I was yanked forcefully through the doorway into the light of the room beyond.
Needlessly to say, I screamed so loudly that on later reflection, I was convinced that I must have woken up some staff in that large mansion.
"Why are you screaming?" Hayden asked as he stared down at me with a look of pure annoyance on his face.
"Because you scared me! Isn’t that obvious..." I wailed.
"Wait! Put me down...please...Hayden!" I cried out when I finally found my voice.
"Stop struggling...it’s pointless," Hayden said without any empathy.
I continued kicking my leg as he carried me over his shoulder and headed for his bedroom.
"Wait...where do you think you’re taking me?" I protested loudly as my hand slapped his back.
"To the bed, where else? Isn’t that what you’re here for?" Hayden replied as we entered his bedroom.
’There’s only one reason a woman would visit a man’s room this late at night...’ his chilling words came back to me.
No. He’s getting this all wrong!
"Wait! It’s not like that..." I tried to explain.
The next moment, my breath was knocked out of me when he threw me onto his bed. I felt the softness of the mattress against my back before my body bounced a little on it from the impact of Hayden dumping me down onto his bed.
"Hayden, wait..." I pleaded.
Hayden got on the bed and slithered up right next to me. He’s so close that we were almost touching. I could feel his eyes travelling down the length of my body and I started to feel very nervous and aware of his presence so close to me.
"You were saying?" Hayden asked as he whispered seductively close to my ear.
