Pulling The Heartstrings (Thomesa)

Secret

Set before the Maze Runner au
———
Euphoria. She simply didn't want to stop kissing her boyfriend's aching lips. His fingers caressing her soft skin, under her shirt as she deepened the kiss. A small smile grew on her face as he groaned into her mouth in response.

Their lips briefly separated every time, inhaling some needed oxygen before they were back to drowning in each other's intoxicating taste. It was supposed to be a ordinary sleepover but things quickly took a heated turn and she ended up in his lap.

They have been secretly dating for a while. Ever since Thomas confessed his feelings towards Teresa that one night, having a crush on the blue eyed beauty for a long time. He felt truly happy when Teresa shyly confessed she felt the same.

"We should....stop...." He murmured against her pink lips, his brown eyes darkened.
"I don't want to...." She whispered, breathlessly as she pressed another soft kiss on his lips.

"Me neither...." Thomas murmured, quietly as he left her lips and trailed wet hot kisses along her jaw. He loved the sound of her moans in his ear, her fingers gently running through his brown hair.
"If we don't stop now, I won't be able to control myself."

"Your right...." Teresa whispered, her blue eyes heavy lidded as she stared at him.
They couldn't afford to let WICKED or Ava Paige find out about them. Sneaking out at night to meet in each other's rooms wasn't difficult but they still had to be careful.

They almost had a close call once when she fell asleep in Thomas's arms, wrapped up in his addicting warmth that she didn't realise the time and her boyfriend was too tired to remember.

The WICKED labs were always clean and organised, white hallways surrounded them as doctors came in and out of the rooms. They usually ignored the top subjects who were working on the digital platforms.

She silently stared at the information on the pad in front of her, the maze was something still in process and hoped she could help in any possible way she could.

A tap on her shoulder suddenly startled her as she turned around and became face to face with Aris. A good friend of hers. Confusion spread through her chest, noticing him nervously clench his hands before he stared back at her with determination.

"I was wondering if you were planning to anything later?" Aris spoke, firmly as he moved closer.
"No. Why?" Teresa responded, innocently as she tilted her head and thought of her afternoon. Her cheeks instantly flushed red, watching him grab her small hand in his and kissed her palm.

"I guess I was curious. You have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen." Aris whispered, quietly as he stared at the dark haired girl. He was finally making his move.

If only he had payed more attention to his surroundings then he would have noticed a certain boy narrowing his darkened brown eyes at their interaction.

"Um....I...." Teresa paused, apparently not quite sure what she was going to say next as disbelief clouded her blue eyes. She couldn't believe Aris was flirting with her.
"Do I stand a chance, Teresa?" Aris asked, stilling holding her soft hand as he waited for her to speak.

She instantly averted her gaze, feeling horrible now as she knew what she had to do. Her heart belonged to another. Thomas was her boyfriend and she deeply loved him, Aris needed to know the truth.

Before she could answer, strong muscular arms wrapped around her waist from behind as a head fell onto her shoulder. A gasp escaped her mouth as his warmth engulfed her and found herself trapped in his embrace.

"She's mine." A familiar voice spoke into the silence but it was laced with a serious and possessive tone. Thomas.

Her cheeks flushed red again, feeling him grab her chin and turned her to face him with his fingers. He slowly pressed a soft kiss on her pink lips and her eyes closed in bliss.

His jaw clenched in irritation as he turned his attention back onto a dejected Aris. The feeling of coiling snakes in his stomach began to cool down, happy the boy knew his place as a smirk grew on his face. She was his girlfriend.

Teresa quickly snapped out of her lovestruck trance, noticing Aris walking away as she saw the smug look in his brown eyes.

"I think I like it when your jealous." She giggled, pleasant tingles spreading through her body as she watched his face turn red at her words. She could have handled it herself but seeing her Thomas claiming her made her think otherwise.

"Shut up." He muttered, quietly as he lovingly nuzzled her neck. His nose ran along her neck and grinned as she shivered in his arms. They belonged to each other.

Unaware, a pair of calculating eyes watched from afar and stared at the young lovers. Love was rare in this world, a bond that could either make you strong or weak. Ava Paige smiled, this could work in their favour.
