Captivating Captive

14- Ugly Truths and Realizations

Ayla wakes up and finds herself tucked comfortably under Harvey who had dozed off with his face snuggled up in the crook of her neck.

She smiled as she looked at his relaxed face but his body still looked a little tense. She didn't move as she closed her eyes and lightly combed his hair only for his hand to shoot up and grab her wrist painfully tight but Ayla just frowned.

Harvey looked at her and let it go as he woke up, "Sorry about that" he said with a sheepish look, he grabbed her wrist softly and massages it to lessen the pain.

He looked at her for a couple of seconds and then smiled at her.

"That was the best night of my life" he said with a grin and Ayla shoved him away playfully but a little too hard, forgetting that they were lying on a not so wide slab resulting in Harvey falling off the edge of the slab.

Ayla gasps and gets up to check up on him and when he doesn't look like he was hurt she laughs out loud as she clutched her stomach. She laughed uncontrollably when she finds Harvey sitting up halfway with a playful glare.

Harvey shakes his head chuckling as he got up. Ayla looks up at him straining her neck to look at him while grinning in amusement.

He cups her face and leans down, he places a soft kiss on her lips which turns into a steamy kiss as his to gue slips past her lips to tango with hers with passion.

She grabs his bicep hard as she moans into the kiss, she pulls back and looks at him with hooded eyes as she took deep breaths. Harvey strokes her cheek softly and looks at her intensely.

"Harvey" she whispers out and he sighs sitting beside her. "I know" he said and she looks at him as she bit her lip.

"Who are you?" She asked and he looks at her searching her eyes for something that she didn't know about.

"Im not a criminal" he said and she frowns. He looks at her, Harvey didn't want to explain it he was hoping she'd realise but when she just looked at him blankly one word from him was more than enough.

"Cop"

Ayla freezes as if someone poured ice cold water on her. She looks at Harvey, gaping at him with wide eyes. She shook her head and rubbed her face. "No" she said and turned to him.

She lets out a humorless laugh but when he doesnt even bother blinking she turns with one hand on her hand and the other on her waist as she looks up trying to stay calm. Her breathing is uneven as she feels conflicted.

How dare he parade around her when he knew exactly what she was in for and more. But she felt frustrated because he seemed sincere. Thoughts flooded in het mind.

What was he after, he must be working towards something. She wrecked her head to think of anything that he could be possibly looking for.

She felt his hand on her forearm and he turned her to face him as he stood.

"Look I-" he started to speak and she puts her finger against his lips, silencing him.

"What is your mission?"

She looked at him with a frown expecting any sort of awnser that could explain why he had been in this prison for so long. What was so important?

Did Bella have anything to do with it? How did he know her.

"It's confidential"

He said as he looked at her trying to read her expressions but she was too good at poker face and just stared at him blankly.

"What can you tell me?" She asked him as she looked up at him. "Im sick of being lied to, I need some awnsers" she continued when he doesn't respond.

She looked into his eyes, she could see the turmoil in his eyes.
