The Love of a Stranger

Engravings

My eyes grew wide with terror. Although it was the truth that Dan was quite strong I still continued on to tease.

"Good, because I didn't feel a thing. Was that you really trying or...?."

God I am so dead.

"Oh ho, you really know how to piss me off, but hey, that's totally fine! You put yourself into this mess...and there's no way you're getting out."

I squealed as he grabbed my legs wrapping them around his body then picking up my frail and weak body holding me close to his chest making sure there was no chance of escape. He took me to his bedroom.

"No Dan please I'm sorry."

"Nope, too late for apologies, should of thought about it before you said it. Plus I'm supposed to be a serial killer, right? Serial killers never show mercy."

"You never do that anyway." I teased.

I clung onto him like a sloth clinging onto a tree not daring to let go and suffer the punishment. He forcefully laid me down onto the bed, took my (and his) top off, pinned my arms down at either side of my head and started kissing me on my neck and downwards.

"Who. Said. I. Was. Weak." He said inbetween kisses. I winced in pain as he applied pressure on one of my bruises and he stopped.

"Don't stop...keep going. I don't care anymore." I whispered. He didn't hesitate to continue. He made his way back up my body and met with my lips.

"You are so beautiful."

"As are you." Was all I managed to say. He started to take the rest of my clothes off and I did the same to him.

That was the night we did it.

I heard the birds twittering away on the outside window ledge. I was now awake. I stretched out my arms and legs and yawned feeling alive. I couldn't help biting my lip remembering what happened last night. I turned to face Dan who was still fast asleep. I was still smiling. Why was I smiling?

"I can feel you staring at me." He said scaring me, I blushed.

"I didn't know you were awake." I said quietly feeling slightly embarrassed.

"I've been awake for ages." He said taking my face in his hands and kissing me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Happy. Alive. Exhilarant. Any other word with a positive meaning."

"Good, because if you're happy, I'm happy."

He started to play my fingers, intertwining them with his. Then something popped up in my mind.

"When were you going to tell me about the tour to Australia?"

"I was going to keep it as a surprise but I guess that didn't work."

"You could tell me again, I'll still act surprised." I joked.

"Hey Laura, guess what?"

"What?" I said with excitement.

"We're going to Australia and you're coming with us!"

"Oh my God, no way, what an unexpected surprise! Oh Daniel you are full of them. I did not see that coming." I said sarcastically. We both laughed.

It took me a while to realise that we were both fully naked underneath the covers, I couldn't help but blush for the hundredth time, and for the hundredth time Dan noticed.

"What's making you blush this time?" He poked my cheeks.

"I've just come to terms that I am extremely naked..."
