In-Between the Shadows

9. Comfrontation

I took a walk, a short one, but long enough to last me an evening. The sun had already set when I came back. The sky was dark and I could only guess it to be about nine o'clock.

Daddy and Mama were not in the sitting room when I came back as they had been when I left. I had forgotten. Mama went to bed early the day before charity events. It was to get a great night sleep to stay up for the night the next day. She probably dragged Daddy along too.

Georgina must have gone off to bed as well - due to Mama's command.

All that left me was Daniel who I found still in his room, only, he changed into his nightclothes. He was still reading but had a pen in hand.

I sat at the edge of his bed again, observing him. "You have ink all over your fingers."

"It happens."

"Can I lay here for a bit?"

"I want you to change into your nightclothes first."

"And if I don't want to?"

"Then I won't let you lay here. It's as simple as that."

I laid down anyway, despite his speech, right on his feet that lay underneath the covers. He was warm. I was warm.

"Change, Isaac."

"No, Daniel, I don't want to." He kicked me, lightly. It didn't hurt, but I said 'ow' anyway. "Change. Last time, Isaac."

From where I was, I pulled down the sheet that covered Daniel and snaked my hand onto his leg, rubbing it.

"I'm warning you," Daniel said, lowering the book enough to watch what I was doing. I ignored him, my hand getting closer and closer to where it wanted to be.

He grabbed my hand then, and I looked up in surprise. "Change. Now."

I thinned my lips as I sat up. He released my hand. "Change, then come back. I want you here with me."

"Alright," I said, leaving.

I came back in my nightclothes, shutting the door behind me. I was looking at Daniel who was staring at me from over his book.

I walked over to him, stopping at his side. I kissed his cheek, then his neck. I grabbed the book from his hands and placed it shut on the table beside us.

Daniel met my lips and touched my chest. He ran his hand down my body until it rested at my waist. He pushed me back slightly as he got up. He backed me up against the wall.

"I want you," he whispered in my ear.

"I want you too," I whispered back. I kissed his collar bone, running my tongue along it. He sighed heavily, pushing me further into the wall.

We stayed like that for a while, my hot breath on his chest and his hands running along the rest of my body, until he took me by surprise, turning me around and pressing my face to the wall.

"Let me have you anyway I want," he said in my ear. His voice illuminated me to turn my head. I breathed a yes onto his lips. I felt his smile.

His mouth hovered over mine as he licked his fingers and lifted my nightgown. I felt his fingers dig into me and I groaned in pain into his mouth.

His fingers went deeper in, thrusting in and out of me. I clenched my jaw, I fisted my hands. It was a feeling I couldn't describe. It was between pain and pleasure, heaven and hell. It was all too new to me, but I loved every second of it.

Daniel pulled out his fingers and moved away from my mouth. I was panting as I tried to turn my head to look at him. He spat onto his hand and rubbed it onto himself before lining up with me. He pushed me into the wall as he thrusted.
