Chapter 16
891 Words
I lay in bed ,my mind playing over the scenes of the day.
John had risked his life for me today and I hadn't even thanked him.
I let out a frustrated sigh burying my head in my pillow and then an idea popped into my head ,though after my stupid idea today I wasn't to sure about listening to another one of my ideas.
Lifting the sheets of my body I climbed out of bed and headed out my room door.
Taking a deep breath I knocked on the door next to mines.Surprisingly,there was no reply.
Was he already asleep?
I knocked for a second time but still no answer.
Any normal girl would of just left however since I had been doing crazy things all day I did something I never thought I would do in a million years.
I opened the door slowly and stepped in,the lights were dimmed but I could still see everything clearly .
There wasn't anyone in the bed so he definitely wasn't asleep.
I turned at the sound of the bathroom door opening and there he stood with his back turned to me.
My eyes widened as I noticed he didn't have a shirt on.
Crap-he didn't have a shirt on!
I considered turning around and running out of the room but I couldn't take my eyes of his bare back.
The muscles in his shoulder and back flexed as he dried his hair with a towel
He began to turn and I should of left then but I was still staring in wonder at his body.
He tensed when he spotted me,his eyes captured my gaze before they wandered to my nightgown and legs.
My cheeks heated as he slowly made his way towards me.
"You know."he said in a strange voice.
"If your parents were to come into this room right now we will both be in trouble."
I couldn't look away,I didn't want to.
Without realising what I was doing,my hands reached up to touch his bare chest,however he caught my wrist before I could touch him.
"What are you doing?"he demanded softly."More importantly why are you here?"he asked.
"I-I came to thank you for saving me today."I answered after finding my voice.
"Didn't it occur to you that you should knock before entering."
"I did but you didn't answer."
He sighed,running his free hand through his hair--something I wished he would let me do.
"You need to leave."he said sraightening and letting go off my wrist.
I stayed where I was,I wanted a reaction from him,wanted him to want me like I wanted him.
Why didn't he want to show me any emotion?He obviously did care about me,Derek was right about some things,he gave me hope to keep trying and maybe that's why I said what I did next.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?"I whispered.
John froze,the sound of his breathing was incredibly loud.Was he angry?
"Stop trying to be funny.A young girl like you shouldn't be saying those words to a guy like me.In fact you shouldn't be saying that to any guy at all."he half whispered half shouted.
"I didn't mean it like that,I just want to sleep on the bed next to you-just sleep."I explained,that was all I wanted for now.
"Rosella."he started."Have you lost your mind?"he asked."You do realise how crazy you're sounding right."he murmered.
"I know what I want!"I insisted."I've had a rough day today,I was going crazy worrying over you.Wondering if you were hurt,if you were safe.You have no idea what I felt today and I know what I did was wrong and foolish but forgive me for caring for you."I spat out angrily.
I bridged the distance between us until our chests were almost pressed together and this time he didn't pull away.
"Every night I think of you.I can't help it,I like you a lot but you never show me any attention.I'm not asking anything of you except that you just let me lie next to you for once without pushing me away."I pleaded."I know I don't show it but I am afraid of what would happen if those kidnappers get ahold of me but when I'm with you I feel safe."
"You shouldn't.I'm not a good person Rosella.I've killed many in this job."he confessed.
"I don't care."I answered honestly.
John stared at me intensely before he gripped my hips and pulled me towards him before his lips came down on mines.His tongue plunged into my mouth and I moaned in return.I stepped on my tiptoes and leaned against him,my knees suddenly feeling weak.This kiss was even more intense than the first and I felt myself drowning in it.It consumed me,stirred a fire in my belly and made me long for more.I reached out with my hands and ran my hands over his muscular chest.It was surprisingly smooth...
John jerked away from me,his breathing was harsh and there was a dark,wild look in his eyes.
"You need to leave."he said for the second time tonight.
"But--"
He cursed and then he was on me,one hand in my hair,the other on my hip.
"Leave."he said."Leave before I do something I regret."it was half plea,half order.
I blinked twice before opening the door and running to my room.
I closed the door shut and fell back against the wall.
