To hell with it

Amy's POV:

"I won't let anyone hurt you again."

His words echo through my brain as I try to grasp the concept that he really does want to help me.

I nod my head slowly in understanding.

"What time is it?" My voice still hoarse and raspy, silently reminding me, that I was just screaming my heart out just a few moments ago.

"It's just now 2am. You fell asleep only an hour ago." He mentions his voice present but his mind and attention clearly distant as if he's far away from here, contemplating, whatever it is that plagues him.

"Oh." I manage to say but look down to see that he's no longer holding my arms anymore. "I'm sorry if I woke you."

"I was still awake handling a phone call." He finishes.

"Well, i'm sorry that I interrupted you." I manage to say, feeling awful that not only did he have to bring me back here to his home after what happened tonight; but now I was interrupting him at night.

I turn my head away from him and begin to get under the covers once more, thankful that I'm wearing this big T-shirt he gave me, due to the unprecedented nature of me coming here last minute.

As I'm laying down on my left side, facing the view of the sky I can't help but to notice that I'm still slightly shaking from the nightmare I just had.

Uncontrollable shaking but I take steady breaths to try and even out my shaking only to fail miserably.

I can feel the dip where he was sitting disappear and can hear his steps retreating as he gets closer towards the door.

Suddenly the lights are flickered off and I can see the opulent city of manhattan beckoning before me as I lay in this bed wondering, if tonight I too, will be like the city that never sleeps.

Suddenly there's a dip in the mattress and I didn't have enough time to react due to my uncontrollable shaking before realizing that he's getting into bed with me.

He's under the covers and before I know it his strong muscular hand is curling over my stomach as he swiftly pulls me back into him.

It was so swift and smooth, I didn't have time to react, and we were spooning within seconds.

My breathing ragged, as I didn't have enough time to process this intimate action.

To hell with it.

Just for tonight, I'll bask in the glory of letting someone else comfort me.

Letting him comfort me.

I'll deal with the consequences tomorrow, even if he isn't mine.

He hugs me tighter and I can't help but to slowly feel the shaking subside.... Slowly... but I still feel the shaking and the nightmare fading away with each breath of his that matched mine.

My heart on the other hand was pounding.... No, clawing.

It's trying to claw its way out of my chest.

Im sure he could hear it, if not at-least feel it.

When the time is right, I don't want to claim just part of you. I'll be claiming all of you, and you'll be begging me to do it over and over again. And I'll be the one to do it, no one else.
