Safe

Chapter 6

I blinked at him, not yet catching his underlying meaning. "Well I have water, orange juice, milk, and some snacks in the pantry."

I walk towards the kitchen when I suddenly feel a pair of strong arms slink around my waist. I freeze up instantly as Robert's hot breath tickles the small strands of hair at the base of my neck. "R-Robert?..."

He whispers into my ear, his voice deep and raspy, "Scarlyt..."

His voice sent a shiver down my spine and I bit my lip, closing my eyes tightly, "D-Don-!" before I could finish my sentence he grabbed me and flipped me down onto my dark brown cotton couch. A startled noise escaped my lips as I stared up at his deep alluring eyes.

Robert gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, flashing me a lopsided smile that made my insides melt. "I don't know why...but you make me want to...make you smile..."

My eyes widen and the corners of my lips twitch upward slightly. "H-how are you going to make me smile? Robert." I emphasis on his name, making my voice seductive.

My efforts are rewarded as I watch him close his eyes to regain control. I could feel him against my leg, begging for release.

"I'll spend the rest of my life, the rest of eternity, making you happy." his eyes shot open and they took my breath away; passion, trust, and...what was that last emotion? Love? Swirled in his deep blue orbs.

I nodded my head softly, too choked up to speak. Why is he telling me this?! Why is he so...so sweet and trusting?! W-why...do I feel the same way about him?...

My mind became clouded with questions I couldn't answer. But it all seemed to disappear when his lips captured mine, and my world came crashing down.
