Those eyes.

Is this real anymore?

I wake up with Adrian in my bed, holding onto me as my left arm is under his head and my right arm is around him. I feel happy for a moment and then complete disgust. How did he get out? What is happening to me? I lift him from my bed and carry him back down to the basement. He is still asleep in my arms and guilt encases my heart. While I do love him, he is my bait for the bigger side of things. I just wonder how far this will escalate, will I be able to spare his life and if it came down to it all, would I even be able to kill him or even hurt him?

 I look down at the sleeping god that I have in my arms and lay him on the new bed that I had put down here for him. I place the blankets over him and keep him handcuffed to the bars. I lay next to him and put my head on his chest. I feel his breathing, so deep and complete, I then hear his heart beating and am taken by surprise, it's so strong and loud and just seems so complete. This man is, mine, yet I can't admit it. I need to focus on that damn plan. Fuck.

Just as I move to get up I hear him groan and move to shift around, his eyes open up slightly and then close back almost automatically, I crawl over him and take a deep breath, smelling his ax that is still on him and his freshly washed hair from when I took him. I resist the urge to kiss him and wake him up.

I start my seemingly long ascend up the flight of stairs to my kitchen and start making breakfast

======================================================================================

I wake up to Dimitri staring at the wall, he must have had another nightmare, when he has nightmares he tries to focus on something familiar, unfortunately he is often lucky if he can get an hour of sleep. I wish I could get him to sleep through the night but unfortunately I can't although I think that I can try something. I wonder.. Before I can go hug him and cuddle him to where he goes back to sleep he stands up with me on his back. "Lets go, We've got to find Adrian." and I just nod, I admire him so much, he is still looking and persistent on finding him, he's so motivated and I can't help but be stunned by him.

He carries me to the truck and puts me in the passenger seat and then gets in his seat, and starts his truck, driving all over till we find our clue, I can't help but wonder if we'll ever make it.

We drive around for hours, when Dimitri loses his shit as he finds the building, he gabs the bat and has his knives hidden on him, he jumps out of the truck and looks around and then sees the smoke coming from the side window, he looks at me and comes back to the truck.

"If anything happens, ANYTHING, leave here, quickly."

"I can't"

"You need to, promise me you will."

"I... I... I can't...."
"Promise me"

"I promise...."

With that he nods and walks to the door and in one swing the handle is off of the door and he disappears inside.

================================================================================================

I'm awoken by sound of metal hitting the ground and Zaire running down the stairs laughing like a mad man.

"I told you they'd come! I fucking knew it, you're the perfect bait" he says as he tries to find the proper key to unlock the gun case.

Before he can put the key into the lock Dimitri is down the stairs with that same old football player speed that he has and grabs Zaire by the collar of his shirt and throws him against the wall. I swear I heard something crack.

I watch as my best friend lifts my boyfriend's head with the bat and in a low growl with a tone I've only ever heard once before say "I swear to god you ever touch my friends again in anyway and I will skin you alive"

In the blink of an eye, he drops the bat and he punches my man in the face hard one time and dropping him, having knocked him out, he pulls a knife from his belt and cuts my straps and looks me over and then he hugs me.

"Are you okay?"

I nod and look over at Zaire, and see him about to stir, I run over and grab his keys to the guns as I feel one big strong arm come around my waist and lift me, moving up the stairs and out of the door, I see Caiden in the truck as I am slid into the middle seat between the two of them and before I can completely register what's going on we're driving off quickly, only for me to see my loves black mustang tailing us.
