His therapist

Chapter 2

A reaction

Marlena

He looked up at me and I got a full view of his face. He had chocolate brown eyes and when our eyes met it was like his whole face kinda changed color. But I was probably just seeing things.

I took my hand away and sat up straight with his eyes now on me and never left my face. "Ok then sir are you ready to talk yet?" I asked in a strong but kind voice.

He stayed silent for a moment and I was starting to wonder if this was a lost cause till her said. "I'll only talk if you put your hand back." This should have set off alarm bells and I should have told him no. But I didn't even though I knew I shouldn't I placed my hand gently back on his wrist.

He curled his fingers to touch my hand but could only brush the top of his finger tips along the edge of my hand.

"Ok" I persisted "talk"
He sighed again and said "hello" I nodded and asked "how's your day been?" He laughed and shook his head "only as good as it can be in this place." He answered in a low voice. I nodded in understanding and continued

"so your name is dark?" I asked making him nod "ok dark so you'll only talk if I have my hand on your wrist?" I asked and he again simply nodded "would you please tell me why?" I added and this made him smile slightly.

"It's just been quiet awhile since I've felt such a gentle touch and from a women." He said not taking his eyes off mine. "Is that because your in this place?" I asked referring to the prison.
"No I'm sure if I wanted I could get out, but no women has touched me with the pure intentions you do in a very long time." He said making me wonder what he meant "how do you know my intentions are pure I could be a horrible person." I said earning a laugh for him "no darling, I can see in the purity your eyes their bright with innocents." He said studying me like a text book.

"Don't call me darling Dark." I said trying to keep it professional. "Then what would you like me to call you baby? Sweetheart?" He attempted to flirt while rubbing the tips of his fingers on my hand again "Dr Edwards will be fine." I said with a half nod. "But that's so boring." He persisted

I thought it best to change the subject "so dark in your file it never said your last name." I stated making him nod "Would you please tell me it?" I asked trying to be nice and not anger him. "I'll tell you my last name if you tell me your first name." He said with a smirk thinking I'd take up his deal.

"No" I refused keeping the upper hand. I could tell this displeased him. "You don't seem to like my answer." I said "do you not like it when people tell you no?" I asked getting my pen ready and taking my hand away from him.

But he didn't speak he just looked down at his hand in discontent. I placed my other hand on the opposite wrist so I could still write and he looked back up at me but still looking angry so I repeated the question "do you. It like it when people tell you no?" This time his response was quick "I like to get what I want." He sounded angry and I became nervous "and if you don't?" I asked writing everything down and swallowed back my fear.

"Then I make it so that I do get what I want." He said with his hands now balled up in fists.

Part of me wanted to tell him my name to calm him down but I was actually getting somewhere with him and I needed this.
"What's your name?" He asked a little louder than he had previously sounded. I retracted my hand from him in fear and back away slightly. His whole demeanor changed his hands relaxed his face dropped and he looked almost remorseful.

"I.." he started but no words came to in to play. I got closer once again and this time more hesitantly I placed my hand only on the back of his where his knuckles relaxed even more.

"Dark-" my sentence was cut off by the door swinging open and I retracted my hand away from him before Tom came into view and gave me a happy smile.
"Hey there Mari, how did it go?" He asked as he grabbed a hold of Dark roughly making me slightly wince knowing the behavior got to him. "Oh just like any other inmate." I lied though my teeth.

As they neared the door Darks head turned towards me and he said "see you tomorrow Mari."
Making my heart stop and my knees feel weak.

Well this job should be interesting.
