One Last Hope

Chapter 39

⭐“Whoever brings you the most peace, should get the most time.”⭐

Drogo moves slightly away from me. I can't work out what he's thinking. He's looking at my mouth. I run my tongue over my lips.

Drogo: "For someone who didn't want to kiss me... You got pretty into it!"

I push him violently. He lets out a loud laugh and I take my chance to try to get away. I fail miserably.

I start pulling and pushing at the door like a madwoman, momentarily forgetting that it's locked.

I turn to face him. I'm furious right now.

Nora: "Open the door!"

He crosses his arms and looks at me. He's clearly not got an answer for me.

Nora: "Drogo! Open the goddamn door or I swear I'll use my powers on you!"

He bursts out laughing.

Drogo: "But that's what I want. Go ahead, test them on me! This could be fun!"

Nora: "You might really regret this!"

Drogo: "On the contrary... I'm real curious to see the extent of your power, pretty little thing!"

I'm so furious at my own lack of self-confidence. How come he always manages to keep his emotions - and the situation - under control?

He approaches me slowly, as if he is savoring the moment. He knows I'm at his mercy.

I point my finger at him.

Nora: "Stay where you are!"

Drogo: "I may have trouble opening the door if you carry on like this."

My eyes narrow furiously. The tension between us is rising.

Nora: "I don't trust you one bit!"

Drogo: "It's gonna be a problem if every time we run into each other we jump each other... and then you go saying you don't trust me."

Nora: "What happened here won't happen again!"

This is just a front. I feel so nervous. He moves closer.

He's pressing himself against me again and his eyes are glowing an almost red amber. His mouth comes dangerously close to my neck. I can feel my pulse throbbing.

I feel caught between fear and desire. Is it hot in here?

Apprehension runs through me. I feel both attracted and under his spell. I can't look away.

I don't know why I'm so receptive to him.  Is it natural attraction... or is something more mysterious happening?

Nora: "Stop manipulating me!"

Drogo: "And what makes you think I'm manipulating you? Maybe we're just destined to be together..."

I can see he's making fun of me.

Nora: "You think you're funny with your petty little games, don't you? I don't like it!"

Drogo: "But I'm having the time of my life!"

What a nerve!

Nora: "But who do you think I am? I'm not a Samantha. Let's get that straight!"

Drogo: "No... You're so much tastier... so much hotter! You're something else... something new..."

Then he adds, with incredible composure:
