TARGET FOR DEMISE

Chapter 14

I sighed in relief that I was finally getting under the warm covers of this king sized bed. I closed my eyes ready to absorb the warmth and sleep.

A striking stabbing pain made its way to my abdomen that my eyes snapped open. I threw the blanket off me feeling the wool burning into my skin.

What is happening?

I crouched into a ball sliding off the bed to the cold hard ground hoping for the pain to stop.

And just as I wallowed in the deepest depths of the intoxicating penetrating abyss, a loud knock thundered from the door.

The clock on the little drawer by my bed read 10pm. Who would be coming to see me at this time? Was I being followed?

Maybe it's Mr Black checking up on me?

I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that my privacy was jeopardised. Did he follow me?

Maybe to make sure I was safe?

I crawled onto my feet and grabbed my white robe that hand off the bed. It reached to my knees enough to cover my pyjama shorts. I winced with each movement swallowing back the cries of pain ready to erupt from my throat.
Taking delicate steps to the door, I tried my best to breathe in and out slowly. Doing my utter best to endure this torture.

Unlike at the pool, this pain did not subside after the first few minutes. What is going on with me? It conquered my abdomen like its new colony burning my insides like a hurricane. I don't think any of my period cramp could ever amount to this.

I opened the door just a bit and stared out only to find dark blue eyes staring back at me. I gulped.

"WH-what are you doing here?" I asked clutching tighter at my never ending aching abdomen, "How did you know I was here?"

Believe me I didn't mean to sound rude and mean but I was in no physical position to be polite let alone try to fake it.

He smiled nervously scratching the back of his head, "may I come in?"

"No." I said in a heartbeat. His eyes immediately flashed hurt and I immediately regretted It., "I mean... it's not a good time right now. What do you want to talk about?" I said biting my lip as another wave of pain rushed through my body.

"Are you okay?" he asked concern evident as he stretched out his muscular arms to hold me. I winced back and clutched my abdomen. I looked back at him only to find his eyes so dark almost black as he held his hands into fists. He took in deep breaths as if to calm himself down.

"Can I help in any way?" he said huskily, "I mean if you wish?" I gazed at him very confused.

"What can you do?" I asked curiously. Even I didn't know what was going on inside me to figure out a solution.

He opened the door wider to let himself in. I didn't have it in me to protest. He moved toward me and brought me closer into his chest.

Jolts of electricity run through my body like an agent cooling all the pain. My body relaxed in his touch as he breathed in my scent. His face lingered in my hair while his hands massaged my temples. I resisted the urge to moan at the pleasure. His hands went to my sides roaming them like my body was his. I shuddered once his lips made in contact with my neck and travelled up my jaw.

I unconsciously pulled him closer gluing my body to his as my arms wrapped round his torso. It was hard as I expected and strong. He finally turned to look at me. His eyes gazing into my soul. I drowned in them. His face lowered to mine longingly staring at my lips.
