Ones Temptation

ARABELLA

The week came faster than expected. I laid low so no one would expect anything. I stared at the clock counting down the days, the hours, the minutes, the damn seconds until I was out of this shithole. And today was finally the day.

I look down at the small watch I stole from one of the guards and see the hour hand finally strike 11 pm. We decided to do this late at night so most inmates were sleeping. I lay under my bed and grabbed the small burner phone Niko dropped off when he visited me yesterday. I'm coming in. Get ready. Just as I finish reading the message gunshots are heard all around.

I look up from the ground I'm sitting on and see officers drop to the floor like dead weight. I smirk and walk to my cell door. Gash, my guard, is still standing in front of my door.

"Gash, I have a question," I say peacefully hoping he turns to me. As I hoped, he does turn. He raises an eyebrow towards me waiting for my question. In a matter of seconds I spread the powder on my finger and put it beneath his nose.

He drops to the floor, the keys bouncing off his suit. I reach down and grab them, opening my cell door. I run towards the sound of the gunshots to find dead officers littered on the ground like pieces of garbage. God I fucking hate cops.

Niko is sitting at a table, cigarette between his lips and a matte black gun at his side. His face is splattered with blood before he catches sight of me. I smirk and walk to him ignoring the bodies on the ground.

"We should get out of here before anyone else comes shouldn't we?," He smirks, climbing off the table. I nod, not speaking a word until I finally reach him. Just as I go up to touch his face the sound of a gunshot rings out around us.

"Hey! You two!," The guard yells pointing a gun towards us. "You both are over."

I smirked and grabbed the gun by Niko's side, hiding it behind my back as I turned towards the officer.

"If you want to end me... You have to be able to out live me. And no one will ever be able to fucking out live me," I shot him right between the brows. Blood splashing up onto my face and my clothes.

I put the gun in my waistband and turned towards Niko. He smirks and pulls me into his arms crashing his lips onto mine. I return the favor before taking the cigarette from his fingers and placing them between my lips.

"Let's fucking get out of here."

I walk out of the building hand in hand with Niko, blood dripping down our arms and past our fingertips. Finally free.

I stand in the shower rinsing off the now dried blood. I hear the door open and look over to find Niko stepping in with me. He scrubs off the dried blood, dyeing the water a rosy color. I watch and admire as soap runs down his chest but stops right at his pubic bone. Once he rinses the soap off he pulls me close, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"I didn't miss you at all you know," He jokes, kissing my jaw. I laugh tilting my head to the side with a sly smirk.

"You killed people for me," I responded, running my hand down the front of his body.

"We're present day Bonnie and Clyde," He whispers in my ear.

"One time, I told you I was gonna make you somebody. That's what you done for me. You made me somebody they're gonna remember," I quote smiling up at him.

He kisses me deeply, picking me up before kissing on my neck. I moan before he grinds up onto me. I kiss his jaw before licking the bottom of his ear.

"Do I have your consent?," He asks, sucking on my chest.

"Yes. . .Yes you do."

He slides into me before smashing his lips on mine. I let out a moan as he moved in and out of me slowly.

"God I missed how you felt," he moans, pinning me to the shower wall.

I grind against him as he reaches between us and rubs my clit. I let my head fall back and grind up against him. He grabs my face and kisses me deeply before turning it into a hot makeout session as he pounds into me harder and faster than before.

We come together, breathless and gasping for air. But neither of us complained. We were each other's air. We needed each other to survive. And today proved just that. He was willing to kill people to have me by his side. And I would return the favor if it meant I'd have him forever.

He was Clyde and I was Bonnie. We'd kill anyone who got in the way of us. We'd bathe in the blood of our enemies never once letting go of each other.

We lay in bed after our shower and stare at the ceiling not able to see anything.

"Do you know when we're most alive?," He whispers, turning his face to look at me.

"What?," I ask, turning my head towards him.

"We are most alive when we're in love," He says before breathing in. "And god fuck. . .I'm so in love with you Arabella it makes me sick."

I stare at him before wrapping my hand in his and kissing his lips tenderly.

"I love you. . .I have always only ever loved you."
