Chapter 1
Relax
"I'll never go away."
"You'll never get away," he said darkly.
His threat made me catch my breath.
Was that true? Would I truly never get away? Would I really be stuck here forever?
He pulled me against his body roughly, holding me tight.
His lips and nose ran the length of my neck. When he reach my ear, he bit it lightly.
But I didn't pull away as I had in the past. That'd show that I was lying when I promised I'd never leave. On top of that, what if he was right? If I never really was going to get away, why not stop fighting?
His hands slid down my back and wrapped around my butt as he kissed his way across my face and to my lips.
I didn't kiss him back, though. My lips stayed frozen in place.
What did it matter anyway? He was just testing me. Making sure what I'd said was true. That I wouldn't pull away and try to leave. He was biding his time. Waiting to see my resistance level before getting at what he really wanted.
When he found my lips unresponsive, he moved slowly back to my ear.
"What's with the resistance?" he asked.
"I'm not resisting," I insisted. "I just don't know what you want of me."
"Participation," he whispered.
"I don't know how," I whimpered.
"You're nineteen. Are you seriously saying you've never been with a man, Adara?"
"I've never even kissed a man," I muttered. "I don't know what to do."
I opened my eyes to the darkness, seeing his eyes staring back at me, almost disbelieving.
He took my lips with his once again and I closed my eyes, wishing I could stop this but not having any way around it other than to prove myself a liar.
I attempted to move my lips with his, but it wasn't exactly right.
He moved his hands up slightly and clasped the edge of my shirt in his fingers before pulling my shirt roughly over my head. His lips left mine as my shirt passed over my head, but they connected once again with mine the second my shirt was out of the way.
His hands slid down to my thighs just below my butt and he lifted me, forcing my legs around his waist.
Then we were moving. But only for a minute. After just a second, we stopped and he threw me onto the bed.
He was only gone for a second. He was soon on me and I instinctively wrapped my legs once more around his waist. I felt him smile at that.
He pressed his hand against my right breast.
I was becoming more accustomed to kissing as things progressed and, when he put his hand to my breast, I felt my whole body tingle. I began kissing him with more passion.
