My lips are pressed against Stevie's, her bare skin under my fingertips as I press against her in the bed. Her skin feels like silky flower petals under my delicate touch as I brush my hand up against her cheek.
I open my eyes to soak in Stevie's soft features that are bathed in the moonlight peeking through the sheer curtains. Her sweet eyes catch a glint of the soft filters created by the moon.
She pulls me back to her and tangles her nails in my curly hair that had become unkempt over the last few days. The goosebumps start to raise just as she drags her nails down my back softly. I moan quietly I kiss her neck, making my way up to her jawline, then her mouth.
"Is this going to happen?" She asks me through pants of breath, the heat rose between us and burned bright despite the moonlight being the only source of light.
"Do you want it to?" I asked her combing my fingers through her long thick hair that fanned over the pillow.
She yanked me down to meet her lips and gives me a confirmation she wanted this. The temperature continued to rise as our body heat played part in the sweat. We both tried to stay quiet since Kyla was sleeping in the other room but it proved to be a tougher task then I thought.
Stevie made me feel a certain type of euphoria, a type I hadn't ever felt before. She had me shaking under her touch, there was something about the way she touched me. She was addictive, electric, magnetic, and I don't think I had ever been so drawn to a woman before. She was dangerous.
I never wanted this feeling to end, I couldn't think of how life would be after we left this bed. After all this time running and being in a constant state of sheer anxiety it dawned on me that I had found my paradise inside this sinking ship I was living on.
"Shhhh!" She hushed me after I moaned harmoniously to her movement. I pant frantically and pull her down on top of me rolling over until I top her she closes her eyes and opens her mouth groaning out softly as I then run my hands down her chest. Her eyes roll behind her head as I begin to thrust a little more intensely into her. We both burn in the heat that sparks and ignites between us, the sheets become flames that engulf us as sweat drips down our delicate skin.
Each movement is methodical and executed carefully as our mouths moved in sync, I hadn't ever experienced a euphoria like this. All the senses were heightened and I could feel everything, hear every little breath that came from Stevie's lungs. I soaked in the moonlight and tried my hardest to remember how I felt, etching it into my memory the best I could. I didn't know if I would ever get to do this again, feel this intimate with someone. I hadn't ever felt this connected with anyone before and every bit of me craved it.

I wake in the morning sun that peeks and seeps through the curtains of the motel bedroom. The curtained light hits my face and I blink to adjust to the lightened room. I sigh and look down to see Stevie has her arms wrapped loosely around my torso, her face buried in my chest with she breaths ever so softly.
I run my fingers through her hazel brown hair is in a curled frenzy, the blonde stands catching the sunlight streaming through the curtains.
"Dada! Dada!" I can hear the muffled groggy voice coming from the other room. The walls are thinner than paper in this cheap motel room. Slowly I do my best not to wake Stevie, I wanted to let her sleep. She looked so peaceful.
She cuddles up with the pillows once I delicately peel her off me. Pulling in some boxers I open up the door to where Ky was sleeping and greet her with a smile. I see her rosy cheeks and eyes sparkle when she waves to me and repeats my name.
Picking her up she gives me a kiss on the cheek and squeals. I press my index finger to my lips and make a shushing sound giggling at her. Seeing my reaction she screams again and with my free hand, I cover her mouth chuckling seeing her bright smile. She laughs at herself when I tell her to be quieter but after another round of playful screams, I decided to take Kyla to the lobby where the motel cafeteria was.
Throwing a shirt and jeans on I hold Kyla while she sings to herself tilting her head from side to side. I sit her down on a chair after finding a table a few feet away from the tv.
I brew myself a cup of coffee and find a yogurt for Kyla to eat. Turning around I see Kyla standing up on the chair and attempting to climb onto the table top.
"Ky! Get down!" I instruct her seeing her mischievous face light up. She giggles and again goes on trying to climb up on the table.
"Kyla May!" I say sternly, putting the coffee and yogurt down on the table to rip Kyla off the table. "I asked you to get down,"
"No!" Kyla shakes her head defiantly, her curls bouncing when she does so.
"Hey, you don't tell me no," I warn her when she pushes me and whines hitting my chest. Making a scene in the small cafeteria that only consisted of Kyla and I.
"No!" She screams at me her cheeks getting more red as she still wiggles and hits me in the chest.
"Kyla, stop it right now," I try to reason with her just as I hear an echo of her name. My head tilts up to the tv where I see a news reporter talking about Kyla. My grip loosened around Kyla and I set her back down in her chair. My heartbeat quickens in my chest and I can feel the sweat trickle down my neck.
"He ran off with my daughter, and left me for dead!" The gruff voice enters my ears and my nerves nip my skin. His face is swollen and bruised after what I had done to him, flashbacks of that night reeled in my head like a movie.
"Knight alerted authorities after he was beaten unconscious by Styles himself. Knight said he figured out who Styles was after listening to a radio talk show earlier in the week and suspected the guest soon after. Styles is said to have fled with Mr. Knights daughter Stevie Knight, according to the account of her father. Whereabouts are still unknown and the three are currently at large. If anyone has any information on any of the victims or suspect a tip line is now in effect," Everything almost blurs together, the frequencies in my head clash and nothing is clear. I wasn't safe anywhere, where was there left to go? I was plastered over news outlets and radio stations, I needed a fake ID and a few other resources. My only shot was to stay in secluded areas or flee the country. I didn't see any way out of this, not to mention I left Stevie in the dark about who I was and what we were running from.
I lead her to believe we were running from her father but I didn't know how much longer she would believe that bullshit. Stevie was smart and I didn't want to underestimate her, I didn't want to lie to her anymore but then again I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth. If I did that I was risking the only relationship I cared about, I couldn't lose Stevie. I couldn't do this all on my own, she had kept me at ease and I could forget about all the stress on my shoulders when I was with her.
I was being beyond selfish by making her blindly trust me, by involving her in the first place but I couldn't let her go.
After breakfast, I walked with Kyla back to the room where I furrowed my brow at the blaring TV volume when I entered. My eyes scanned the room for Stevie but she was nowhere to be found, I take another look at the TV and see her face covering the news outlet station, the heat rises to my cheeks and my stomach physically twists.
"Stevie!" I call out to her, my eyes land on the closed bathroom door. I turn down the TV and shut the room door while Kyla runs around the room. "Stevie!" I pound on the door craving to hear her voice, in return, all I can hear are soft faded cries as I lean my ear against the thin wooden door.
"Stevie let me explain, it's not all that it seems," I scream losing steam as my eyes cloud with boiling tears. A pain in my chest mixes with anxiety as I wait for a response from the girl that had locked herself in the bathroom. I couldn't even begin to fathom what she thought of me right now because it couldn't have been worse then what I already thought about myself.
N. Hey fam! I know this was overdue and I was a bit dramatic when my whole phone decided reset like a new iPhone but needless to say I came back. I will say however my updates may come a little slower because I just don't have the time I used to but I wont abandon you all again lol! Anyways, what do you think? Also I have decided to make this a short story so realistically there are only going to be a few more chapters left!
