Dark and Dangerous

Chapter 11

I walked into class and sat in my usual seat. It felt like everything was different. Who knew a few days could change so much. Austin walked in. He was on crutches and his eye was a bright purple, but other than that he seemed pretty okay. He spotted me and smiled.

"Hey babe." He came and sat next to me. 

"Austin! I'm so sorry I wasn't able to visit you. I didn't know where you were at first, and then I got caught up at work. I feel horrible. How are you feeling?" I rambled. I didn't want him to think I hated him or that I'd forgotten about him. But I also didn't want to lead him on. Ever since I figured out that I liked Niall, not him, I'd truthfully been avoiding him. 

"It's alright. I'm certianly feeling better than I did Friday." He smiled at me and my heart twinged with guilt. How did I tell him? This happend because of me...

"Look, Austin..." I started. I didn't know how to go on from there.

"You're breaking up with me." I looked up at him to see him looking straight into my eyes. How did he know?

"H-How did you know?" I stuttered. I was still afraid of hurting him, but I guess since he was expecting it, it made it a little easier.

"Niall beat me up for you, Jess. I didn't think he was going to give up at that. You're breaking up with me, for him, aren't you?" His eyes were sad. I desperately wanted to say no.

"Yes." I whispered. "I'm so sorry, Austin." I couldn't look at him anymore. He dropped his head.

"Friends?" He whispered. I smiled a little. At least I knew he didn't want to lose me. Even after all I put him through. I certianly didn't want to lose him. He was the best thing that's happened to me. He was so sweet and kind. 

For a moment, I wished Niall didn't show up and screw up my life. 

But he did, and that's just fate, I guess.

"Of course." I took his hand and he smiled at me. 

Just then, the door burst open to reveal a very pissed off Niall. 

"Young man!" Mr. Anderson barked. He was in the middle of his lecture about... Well, to tell you the truth I had absolutely no idea. But everyone had their R&J books out, so I was guessing something about Shakespeare. 

Niall's eyes never left me. He stormed up to me and grabbed my wrist, only stopping when he saw me holding Austin's hand. His eyes darkened. 

"Come on." He hissed, ripping me out of the chair, and out of Austin's hands. 

He pulled me down the steps and out the door.

"Niall, God dammit!" I ripped my arm out of his grasp and glared up at him. We were in the small hallway leading outside. Thank God these walls were soundproof, because I was sure this was going to end in a screaming match. 

Niall looked down at me, his eyes still dark. It scared me, truthfully, but I didn't let that show. I stood my ground.

That was, until he pushed me up against the wall. One hand was on my waist, the other holding my wrists above my head. His torso held me in place against the wall. I looked into his eyes again. They weren't angry anymore. They were full of desire.

He kissed me. It was passionate and fiery, but still strangly gentle. He begged for entrance and I let him in, our tounges entwining. Before I knew it his lips were kissing every visible part of my neck, while he let my wrists go. His hands slid over my butt and he picked me up. I wraped my legs around him and shoved my hands in his hair. He groaned and his lips met mine again. 

He pulled away and looked into my eyes before carrying me out the door.

--

He carried me to his car and threw me in the seat. Then slid in and in no time we were on the road, heading towards his condo. 

I couldn't breath. I was shaking. Had that seriously just happened? His aggressivness... I don't know why that turned me on so much, but it sure as hell did. I stared at him from the other side of the car. 

He smirked.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I might have to pull this car over and take you here and now." The huskiness in his Irish voice made my heart flop. 

"Go for it, I dare you." I challenged. The car swerved before straightening out on the road again. He growled.

"Jessica..." 

I smiled.

Within two minutes we were in front of his condo. He picked me up bridal style from the car and pushed through the double doors, practically running to his door. He unlocked it with one hand and kicked it open, only to kick it closed again. He put me down and looked at me with deep desire in his heat-filled eyes. 

What did I do to deserve this?

Run away from him last night? 

I'd have to do that more often.

I looked at him through my lashes and bit my lip slightly. He groaned and pushed me against the hall wall. 

"I can't take it when you do that." He whispered.

"Do what? This?" I breathed, biting my lip again. His lips smashed into mine. It was a hard kiss, full of passion and love. 

Love? 

Where did that come from?

He picked me up again and we made our way down the hall, banging into walls and furniture on the way.

He kicked closed the door and pushed me down onto the bed before falling on top of me. He striped off my sweatshirt, leaving me in only my bra while I struggled to pull off his shirt. His hands moved up and down my stomach, stopping only short of my breasts. I whimpered a little, wanting his hands to move up farther. 

He obliged.

His hands moved up to cup my breasts. He squeezed lightly, causing me to cry out underneath him. I ran my hands over his bare chest while he trailed kisses over my neck and upper chest.

~Niall's POV~

Her delicate hands felt so good, running up and down my torso. She fit perfectly underneath me. 

What in the world did I do to deserve someone as wonderful as her? As caring, and shy, and quiet, and inncent, yet none of these things, all at once? 

I needed her. She was my life source. 

I showered kisses over her soft skin, hearing her moan slightly as I squeezed one of her breasts. God, that sounded good. To know she made those sounds for me. 

My phone rang.
