My Kidnapper (18+)

9.

Cody's POV:

Ding dong.

I slowly woke up to the sound of the doorbell. I could see it was dark from the windows but still I sat up ready to open the door only to hear the click of the door already. I strode towards the living room to find none other than a certain kidnapper whom I somehow managed to weirdly gotten attached to.

Yes, I could admit it to myself. It'd be stupid not to notice that at this point. But I'd die before I admit it infront of him.

He put the pizza box on the table as the smell of it hit my nose. The second my nose picked it up my stomach grumbled so loud that I almost thought there was a wild animal in my stomach. Somehow I weirdly didn't feel as embarrassed as I probably should. He didn't even laugh or comment, just opened the box and offered me a slice of it.

I suddenly remembered that it's been a while since I've ate pizza. The first bite at the corner made me hum with satisfaction. I gobbled it up like my life depended on it. After eating three slices I found him looking at me with a disappointed look.

"What now?"I  asked while chewing. didn't like the way I ate or was it too messy for him?

"You passed out in the middle of the road. You aren't eating well or sleeping well. You should take better care of yourself " he said as he stared at me. That's when I realised he wasn't eating.

I honestly wanted to say a lot of things but I felt like he was right. Doesn't mean he get to lecture me on it though.

"Whatever. Why the hell do you even care? Just because you are Sam's brother doesn't mean you can get involved in my life like this." I retorted as I looked at him sharply. Who does he think he is? Yes, I am somehow attracted to him and yes I'm crazy for not even reporting him to authorities but that doesn't mean he get to control my life. Even as shitty as it is , it's still my life.

"If only you knew how much I care, Cody. " He paused as he leaned down towards my face, palmed my cheek so gently and continued "I want you to be safe, healthy and happy always". Now Why did he has to say it like that?

The worst part of it all is that I felt a little warmth deep inside in my heart when he wanted me to take better care of myself. Nobody has ever said that to me. Nobody ever made me feel the way this man does. I've thought that maybe his sexual expertise towards my body is what made me attracted to him but it was his sincerity in his eyes that scares me more. It always feels like he means every word he says and I hate the way I don't hate it at all.

But I still needed to know. I looked at him as he did the same with his beautiful and soul sucking blue eyes with an emotion that scares the shit out of me and tethers me to him all the same.

"What will it take for you to leave me alone?"

He raised his brow at the question and said "I thought it was obvious. Nevertheless I will ask you properly."he cleared his throat and continued "I want to be with you. I'd like a chance to prove how much you mean to me." he said as he straightened his posture. There was utter silence for almost a minute. I swear I think he didn't even blink in the anticipation of what I was gonna say.

This is new. I've always been the one to chase or pursue. It's what always happened because guys chase after girls mostly and I was not fortunate enough to be chased by anyone to be honest. I still remember the days in his house as I was chained to the bed and used by him like a toy , an experiment. The most horrifying thing of all was I actually ended up enjoying it.  After he released me I had some time to think. The first day I couldn't even sleep with all the thoughts that plagued me and I couldn't face the new revelations of my own self so I immediately jumped into work for days to avoid it. But in the end one cannot escape the prison that is oneself.
