A soft scream left her lips as she sat up. The sound ended as abruptly as it had started. There had been no nightmare, no touch, and no threat. What she did feel was a strange uneasy feeling that she couldn't understand until her eyes roamed over the room. Nothing about it was familiar, nothing was hers. She had no idea where she was.
Andraya gazed at her surroundings. The room was massive, bigger than the entire width of her small home. The colors were darker; a sleeker look that made the room seem smaller than it should be. She only then felt the soft satin sheets under her, covering the plush, dreamy soft mattress. It all spoke money.
When she stood to explore, only then did she realize she was without clothing. Heat touched her cheeks and she pulled the sheet off the bed, wrapping it around her body. If she was home or with someone she trusted, she would not be so embarrassed. She was proud of her looks. Tall, full curves, waist long black hair, moonlight pale skin, and a flat stomach.
Being here, in a strange place, she felt very exposed and needed to feel some comfort where little would be found. Covered, she started exploring the room. Despite the uncomfortable feeling, the strangeness of the room, it never occurred to her to go right for the door, to run.
It was while she was staring at a picture that the sound of the door opening caught her attention. Clutching the satin sheet close to her body, she turned to see him enter. The mere sight of him stole the air from her body and caused things inside her to stir that no man had affected in such a way since she was a teenager and her hormones were new.
The grace of his walk, the way every one of his movements was perfect. No wasted energy in his body, every movement having a purpose, drawing the eye, making her thoughts stray from fear. Although, the strangest thing, the most appealing thing, was how dark he was.
Everything from the color of his hair, to the color of his skin, and even his eyes, were black. His body was naked, all six feet and seven inches of his pitch black skin completely bare. The skin was stretched like fine cloth over dense but lean muscle. His impressive body was framed by a waterfall of silk-like hair that was only a shade darker than his skin. It brushed his knees as he walked.
Even seeing his entire body bare, what she could not look away from was his eyes. Cat like pupils were surrounded by three irises, each layer lighter than the last. She was mesmerized, staring into his eyes. It was as if his pupils were absolute black, and someone put a drop of white into each layer after.
While she stared at the eyes of the man that had likely kidnapped her, awe-struck, she did not notice him advancing on her. His steps were silent, the light dancing in his eyes with colors that shouldn't have been there. The light that entered his eyes came out in shades of blue and purple, the colors of darkness. Still she didn't notice that he was within arm's length.
The man before her reached out as if to touch her. His hand was inches from her pale face before she tore away; finally snapping out of the trance she was in. A scream left her throat and she stumbled back. The sheet slipped from her grasp as she reached out behind her and grasped the dresser to steady herself. Her voice was soft, a little hesitant, but without doubt. "Don't touch me."
When the soft, but firm command left her lips, the colors dancing in his eyes faded, and his gaze grew cold. His steps still silent, he stalked to her, pressed her to the dresser and molded the absolute black of his skin against the pale flesh of her warm body.
