Tormented

Lucy pov

Being discharged from the hospital went faster than I thought it would.

James had us flown to Cali, ignoring the convention completely saying he needed to get me home.

After ten minutes of James demanding me to let him drive me to my place, I give in.

It's not like I want to pay for a taxi anyway.

Now in James car, I'm wondering why I ever agreed.

His hand lies on my thigh as we sit in silence, me slapping at his hand every now and then, and him holding on ignoring my protests.

"James, get off me."

He ignores me.

Not wanting to create any more tension between us, I stop trying.

We finally reach my apartment and I sigh in relief.

Thank you, Lord

I turn to open the door but James holds me to the seat.

"James, I-"

"Just listen."

I look over at him and find him staring back at me.

"Lucy, you know how I feel about you, and I understand if you're not ready, but just know, I'm completely serious when I say, I love you, and that you're not like other girls. I just want you to know that."

"James...you know my situation, I've told you before I-"

"I know, but Lucy nothing's going to happen, not with me around. I'll keep you safe and the press won't find out about this, about us."

I nod, not knowing how to respond anymore.

"Just trust me, Lucy, you'll be mine and nothing will be wrong. I'll be with you. Ok."

At this point, I'm not even sure if the press is what's holding me back from him.

I've never really been good with people, especially not after him.

Fear fills me as memories full my mind, and tears prick my eyes.

"I, I know James I'm just not ready to trust anyone yet ok."

I shake my head as he opens his mouth to speak.

"James if you truly want me to accept you, you'll have to gain my trust."

He nods.

"I'll do anything for you, Lucy, anything."

I nod seeing the sincere look in his eyes.

"I'll see you at work then."

I open the door to leave, but not before James pulls me back and presses his lips against mine.

I waste no time responding. My hands grip his hair as I part my lips and his tongue slips into my mouth and we fight for dominance.

After a second, he completely takes control, grabbing my hips, pushing them towards him.

I moan into his mouth and bite his lip telling him to stop.

He ignores me of course, moving his hand under my shirt.

This has gone way too far.

I push away from him just as he was about to undo my bra.

Lust and love shine in his eyes mixing to become one.

"Lucy, you're mine." He grabs my waist and pulls me just as close as were as moments ago.

"Don't you dare forget it. I love you so much." I look down into his lap and he has a raging boner.

I lick my lips as my mouth suddenly feels dry.

I look back up at him to see his face centimeter from mine.

His breath fans my lips.

"Like what you see?"

I blush a fever, turn and open the car door, running up to my door, scrambling with my keys.

I hear a loud laugh as my door finally opens and I rush in.

Oh...my gosh.

I run in the bathroom and look in my mirror.

In the reflection, I see a tomato.

A really red tomato.

Damn it.
