Dark Nights and City Lights *Simon Minter*

Chapter 14

Simon's POV

She sent a thrill up my spine with the way she spoke those words. Moving my hands up from her thighs a little I gripped onto her hard pushing her against the wall just inside the house she let out wince. I hoisted her up, keeping her back against the wall as her legs wrapped around my waist pulling me even closer.

I carried her up the stairs my lips hardly moving away from hers, we reached my room as she started pulling my top off. I put her down unzipping the back of her dress, she walked backwards onto the bed as she lay back onto it, I began kissing down past her hips, where the black lace began, leaving love bites on her bare skin. Her whimpers turned to whispers and moans of my name, her body still moved like ocean waves.

"I'm in control." I whispered into her neck making her bite her lip trying to control herself, I held her cheek in one of my hands brushing her lips with my thumb as i kissed her once again. Caressing her body she gripped onto my body and my hair, she was addicted to the pain but oh how she loved it, begging for more.

I was in control but her lips were my addiction.

...

The sun peered through the window illuminating Elise's caramel hair making it look even more ginger than usual. I stroked her hair causing her to begin waking up, her eyes shifted about as they opened slowly the sun heating the back of her head. "Morning." she spoke in a soft sleepy voice as she lifted her head looking up at me. I smiled pulling her in gently by her chin, kissing her softly "Morning." my voice low and tired from last night.

Each kiss remained soft with smiles in between, I ended the silence "Fancy some breakfast?" she nodded as I climbed out of bed throwing some clothes on, she looked around putting on her knickers as I passed her one of my tops for her to wear downstairs. It only just covered her bum as she followed behind me to the kitchen, luckily for us no one was there.

Elise's POV

Simon started cooking breakfast then from the top of the stairs we heard voices from the top of the stairs and in walked JJ and Jorja. "I didn't know you were staying with Simon last night Elise, I thought you were working all night." she smiled wanting to hear an explanation, this time I couldn't try and avoid her.

I coughed awkwardly having Simon and JJ as an audience, "Um. Yeah, I finished quite quickly, it wasn't a massive job so I finished rather soon and saw Simon." she gave me a look that told me I would have to tell her everything that happened before looking back at JJ who was trying to help Simon cook.

It was a picturesque moment in time, the four of us all sat together, if you were to look us you wouldn't suspect that we were even the slightest bit bad. The smiles everyone shared made it seem like we had never seen someone die, or even pulled a trigger. Jorja smiled her old smile at JJ, the one before I had dragged her into this mess, she was very much in love with JJ I could see it and his feelings seemed the same.

"Your completely fazed out." Simon spoke snapping me out of my trance, I blinked readjusting my eyes as Jorja giggled at me, "It's Elise, when doesn't she faze out into another world." I nudged her arm scoffing at her comment then laughing slightly. Simon placed his hand on top of mine, my eyes met his as he started to entwine his fingers with mine.

I followed Simon back up to his room closing his bedroom door behind me, we climbed back into the messy bed, his hands making their way around my waist pulling me against his side. He turned on Netflix and put a random action film on, we didn't pay much attention to the film instead we talked.

"This one, this one was interesting." Simon smiled pulling his collar past his shoulder to reveal a bullet scar beneath the purple love bites I had left on his skin, it skimmed the edge of his shoulder. "It was Vik's first time shooting someone that was struggling in my arms, he missed his first shot and hit me instead. The guy started running before Vik managed to shoot his leg," his smile grew bigger as he continued. " I'll never understand how he managed to shoot him while he was moving. He said he was sorry and now he does all the background work."

I let out a short giggle showing him the scar on my wrist. "I was pinned to the floor and this guy wanted me to tell him who I worked for, I kept refusing and he slowly cut along my wrist, it hurt but Jorja saved me, she came running in to the room and shot him, ever since then neither of us go anywhere with out a gun or a knife, too risky." He ran his hand over my scar feeling where my skin hadn't fully recovered. We carried on talking about our past experiences before Simon looked down at me, gazing into my eyes.

"I can't help but look at you, the way your hair falls with its differentcopper colours, the colour of your eyes. Your lips, your body, everything is perfect." He pulled me up and kissed me, his lips were soft and fitted mine perfectly and his hands held onto the back of my head.

I wanted to belong to Simon.
