I slowly lifted my lids, feeling a warmth on my skin. I opened my eyes to find the source of the light and immediately shut them again when the glare hit me in my face. It was blinding, yet somehow it gave me a sense of security.A few moments later, when my eyes had adjusted to the brightness, I peered around cautiously. It was coming from outside; sunrays dancing along bright blue skies and illuminating every corner of the room with its warmth.I blink rapidly, my mind racing with questions as to what is going on and why I'm here.My gaze shifts around the room, taking in its unfamiliarity. It's well kept, expansive and everything appears to be in its rightful place. Is this heaven? Did I die somehow? Even after searching through my memories of life before this moment, there's no recollection of ever having a living space that looks as comfortable and luxurious as this one does now.I remember what it was like living in that dilapidated room, not even having the luxury of a bed. Des
I wrapped my arms around myself when the icy water struck my body, shivering as droplets of moisture made their way down my exposed skin.I closed my eyes and tilted my head up towards the shower head, letting the cascading stream cleanse away all of my aches and pains. I savored this moment of solitude as if it was a precious and fragile thing, savoring the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy myself in peace. I remained like this for what felt like hours until I finally had enough.I turned off the shower and stayed there for a few moments, hesitating to open my eyes. When I eventually did, the first thing that confronted me was my reflection in the glass door of the shower. My gaze followed along every curve of my body, lingering for just a moment on certain spots. It was strange to look at myself like this; even after years of living with myself, seeing this reflection felt like gazing upon something new. The details were all familiar, but I couldn't help but to curse at myself.
I am rendered momentarily frozen in place as I stare at him.He notices the knife that is still clutched tightly in my hand and in a swift motion he moves to grab it and throw it away from me. Taken off guard by his actions, I am completely surprised at what has happened. His sudden reaction leaves me speechless, unable to find words or comprehend his motivations for such an act. It takes only a few seconds before I catch my breath again and regain my composure, blinking rapidly.“A-aiden…”He suddenly kneeled down on the floor since I drop here and met my gaze, trapping me in a trance. I felt powerless to look away from his captivating stare, as if he was forcing me to do something that I couldn't control. His expression was intense and unyielding; I felt like my will was no longer mine alone. It's like he had taken it away from me with just one glance. It was a strange sensation that left me feeling helpless yet strangely exhilarated at the same time.He reach out to me and grabbed
My eyes widened, I was completely shocked at his words.“S*ck?” I asked innocently.I expected that he would be angry about my response, but instead his smile grew even wider. It was almost as if he was pleased with what he saw from me. His expression became more of a look of understanding and compassion, which utterly surprised me.He ran his fingers through my hair, lightly brushing the strands back and forth. His touch sent a wave of tingles down my spine, igniting feelings in me that I had never felt before. His movements were gentle and sure, like he had done this a million times before. I felt myself relax into his touch, trusting him even though we had just met in person.“You’re such a good girl. It’s turning me on.”He released my head from his grip and slowly began to undo his trousers. A wave of shock washed over me when he suddenly dropped them and I was met with the sight of his most intimate part. I felt my cheeks turning hot, embarrassed at the situation but unable to l
None of us said a word.Only the clanging of the silverware was heard throughout the dining hall, the sound echoing off the walls in a seemingly endless loop. I kept stealing glances at him from my seat and he seemed focused only on his food. He appeared to be deep in thought, and no matter how much I wanted to talk to him, it felt as if nothing would break this trance-like state we are in.Also, I don't know what to say to him. This uncomfortable silence is leaving me feeling apathetic and helpless. After asking me out for dinner, I thought he would do most of the talking; it's been his behavior from the start. My mind feels flooded with a million thoughts as my gaze shifts between him and his appearance - trying to make sense of our situation. Though he appears calm, I can tell that something has been bothering him.But what?“What?” he suddenly asked out of nowhere.My eyes widened in surprise, so much so that I almost stopped myself from taking a bite of my meal as I could only st
I couldn’t sleep for the rest of the night.My mind is a cacophony of ideas and concepts that are far too frenetic to permit me the restful state he said earlier. Over and over I find myself reflecting on his words, mulling over all the times he had expressed admiration for me. It's not that I was trying to seek out validation from him, but it certainly plants a small seed of confidence in my heart. And although hearing his compliments was always a pleasant surprise, what really made an impact on me was what he seems serious about them.I sucked in a deep breath and stole a sideways glance at Aiden, who was sleeping peacefully. He made no effort to punish me today, but he mentioned that we should practice sleeping without clothing on every night; it seemed like an inconsequential request so I readily agreed. As I watched him lay there undisturbed by the heavy silence, the thought that it may be pleasant to sleep naked together crossed my mind. But then again, this is something quite o
When I awoke the following day, I discovered that Aiden had disappeared.It was strange; he had been there right before I went to bed, so why wasn't he here now? My heart raced as my gaze swept the room for any sign of him. The absence of any trace made me anxious and unsure; where could he have gone? At first, all my brain conjured up were worst-case scenarios but then something dawned on me: perhaps Aiden simply decided to go out.I can feel a lump forming in my throat as I try to process what just happened. He was there last night, lying beside me in bed, yet he disappeared without a trace. Did he really leave me? My mind races as I think of all the possibilities and search for an answer that would make some sort of sense.I gasped lightly before carefully hoisting myself from the bed. However, halfway through, I felt a sharp throbbing in between my legs as a reminder of what had happened the night before. Every inch of me was sore and tender, my body protesting against the excesse
I stood on my tiptoes against the railings, ready to take the plunge. My body was shaking from the anticipation, and suddenly nothing else mattered to me.I wasn't even worrying about what could happen after I jumped. All that matters was taking this chance and letting go of all my fears. The air around me felt different as my heart raced and adrenaline surged through veins; it's almost as if time had stopped for just one moment before I erased the world with a single jump.From that point onwards, it felt as if my body was no longer inhabited by my soul. I remained in the same position with my eyes closed, yet I could feel the energy radiating through each and every nerve cell in my body - it was like an alarm going off inside of me.They say that when it's your time to go, memories come flooding back like a clip of a movie playing on fast forward. But in my case, that wasn't the experience at all.I was saved from a potentially devastating fall because someone had caught me before I
