Not Just An Experiment

--Chapter Thirty-Five--

Kaira's POV

Why is he lying about what he did? I know it was him! What else could it be? Seriously, he's just being ridiculous.

What I can't understand is why he was denying is so fiercely. He even looked completely confused when I accused him of doing this to me. Well, I guess he's a good actor.

"I know it was you!" I yell. He doesn't respond, but I know he heard me.

Then images of him holding me in his arms float into my mind. I want him to hold me and I want him to kiss me.

I shake my head as hard as I can. I can't let him get inside me like that! But it's getting so hard to do that.

"Please s-stop," I choke out. I hate thinking of him. I hate it. Why is he doing this to me? I just can't understand.

Still, Zane ignores me, focusing on his work. I yank on the straps holding me immobile, but they don't budge. I pull over and over, trying to feel anything different and keep thoughts of Zane out of my mind.

I hate him... I hate him... I hate him...

I chant over and over, but it doesn't help. It's like I'm lying to myself. And my mind won't have it. Not for one moment.

"I can't... I can't do this anymore," I sob. I stop pulling against the restraints, finally giving in. If he wants to play with my emotions, then so be it. I can't fight it anymore.

Then I feel a soft hand on my cheek and I open my eyes. Zane is here, standing in front of me and I can't figure out what he is thinking.

"I'm not doing anything to you," he says quietly. When he removes his hand from my cheek, it feels cold and I want him to put it back on.

"Then why do I feel this way?" I whisper, looking at him intently.

"I-I don't know, but I..." he hesitates, looking away from me before he continues, "I can't stop thinking about you either."

My eyes widen. What does that mean?

Thanks for reading!
