Save Me

15. Would you die for me?

Molly had finally gotten what she'd wanted for the longest time, a chance to see her family again. Little did she know that this reunion would be far from sweet.

'What time are we going?' I asked as we strolled down the hallway together.

'3:00pm, I've got a couple things to do before we go but we can spend the morning together' he replied smirking.

He spun around, propped Lucille against the wall and pulled me in for a kiss.

I smiled and giggled 'oh, is this what we do now?' I whispered against his lips mockingly.

He chuckled and whispered gruffly, 'oh yeah'.

We moved over to lean against the wall as I moved my lips against his passionately.

'Wait, not here' he growled as he pulled me down a dark corridor.

His hands drifted to my waist as he firmly pressed me against the wall and raised my arms above my head.

I moaned as his fingers traced up and down my bare arms until his fingers interlocked with mine as he held me there.

He pressed his body against mine, feeling his warmth rush through me.

I so badly wanted to touch him but I immediately surrendered to his touch when his kisses travelled along my neck, nibbling and licking at my bare flesh.

My eyes closed as I rested my head against the wall with a smile across my face.

I noticed his kisses getting less frequent and I opened my eyes as he frowned and pulled away.

'What is it?' I asked frowning with concern.

He sighed deeply until he said 'I need to tell you something'.

I waited anxiously for him to continue, 'right now?' I asked in frustration.

'We gotta make Rick and the others stand down and there needs to be punishment, you know that' he said seriously.

I pulled back from him, 'what do mean punishment?' I asked sternly.

'Lucille's gotta get her three, then we can move forward with a new understanding' he replied nonchalantly.

My eyes began to well up as I looked at him, he was deadly serious.

I pushed him off me and said sternly 'no one has to die'.

'You are wrong Molly, punishment? can't do anything without that. Punishment is how we built everything we have. I thought you got that?' he said with a raised voice.

How the hell did we just go from making out up against a wall to arguing again?!

'I get that, really I do. But they're my family. No has to die' I repeated slowly.

'Okay, how bout this. One, just one' he replied softly.

'Fine. But I get to pick' I stated coldly.

He looked at me intensely until his lips formed a smile.

'Alright, who'll it be?' he asked seriously.

I took a minute before deciding, 'Spencer Monroe' I said looking back up at him with determination.

He smirked and asked 'why?'.

'He's weak and entitled. He put the group at risk too many times' I said angrily as I reflected.

He just nodded as he agreed.

'I am sorry it has to be this way doll. You know I'd never want to put you through this if it could be avoided' he said touching his forehead against mine.
