I'm His to Taste - NatePat {ON HOLD}

{Chapter 3: What Do You Want From Me?}

Nate's POV

I began to shake a bit in fear, still trying to pretend I was sleeping, as I felt the mans presence come closer to me. I flinched when I felt his hand begin to pet my head, smoothing down my hair.

"Come now sweetheart," the man cooed, closer to my ear this time. "It's time to wake up now."

I slowly opened my eyes as I became face to face with the man from last night. He was looking at me with such intensity that it made me want to look away, but curiosity got the best of me.

He had wavy brown hair and pale skin, without a single blemish on it. He wore a black leather jacket with a simple t-shirt underneath it, a pair of gray jeans and a long necklace with a golden ring on its chain around his neck. His face was very defined and chiseled, like a marble statue. His eyes were a deep red and his mouth was turned upwards in a creepy smil- wait...he had RED EYES!?

I got a sudden flashback to the events of last night as I realized that this wasn't an ordinary man at all...this was a vampire!

He smirked at me as I must have made a face he found amusing.

"I take it you've remembered me." he said, caressing his hand down my face and neck. "After all, I did leave quite the mark on you."

I flinched as his cold hand touched the soreness on my neck, that I now realized was a bite wound, and I jerked as far away from his grip as I could. I'd always thought vampires were a myth, a creepy fairytale to frighten little kids...how could this be real!?

He chuckled lightly as he began to pet my head again.

"I can see you're quite the fighter," he cooed again, then suddenly grabbing a handful of my hair and yanking me towards him as I grimaced in discomfort. "But that's alright, seeing as I love a challenge."

He threw my head down as he sat down on the bed beside my waist and reached around my head to undo the gag.

"Jeez..." I thought to myself. "Bipolar much?"

"Now, don't scream," he warned, still untying the knot. "you don't want to give me an excuse to punish you this early on. Besides, this whole room is completely soundproof to the outside anyway."

He chuckled to himself at my supposed helplessness as he slipped the gag out from between my teeth. I groaned in pain from the stiffness of my jaw as I moved my mouth around to alleviate some of the discomfort.

"Such a good pet." he complimented as I turned to look at him with anger.

"I'm not your pet." I stated, refusing to show him any more of my nerves. Vampire or not, there was NO WAY I was gonna let him break me. "I'm a human being who doesn't deserve to be locked up in some creepy attic by some monster. Now let me go!"

He just laughed at me as he stood up and walked over to the other side of the bed towards a large cabinet with too long wooden doors.

"You're quite funny Nathan." he said, opening up the cabinet to shuffle things around inside. "You actually thought that was going to work?"

I kept my gaze on him, not backing down from his insults.

"How do you know my name?" I questioned.
