Story 1 - Horror/Forbidden romance - Chapter 8

"Hey babe", she muttered, the red head looking over at her, taking her attention away from the horror she was watching as they cuddled on the bed.

"Yes, Rose?", replied Ginger, stroking a strand of deep brown hair from her lovers cheek.

"Ezra knows about us", she said in worry for how her girlfriend might react.

"Your Brother? How?", asked Ginger, suddenly face palming herself, "It's because I smirked at you, isn't it? I'm so sorry. Is he going to tell?". She looked up at Rosemary in fear.

"No, he would never do that", replied the woman in a soft, reassuring tone, like melted chocolate. "He figured us out based on how we looked at each other. So I told him the truth. Are you mad?".

"No, God no, I could never be mad at you", cooed Ginger, facing her lover and taking her face in her hands, kissing the end of her nose. "I trust your brother if you do".

"I'm so happy", laughed the woman in relief, "I thought you would be angry with me...after all that's happened today, I just don't think I could handle it".

"I know...you've been through a lot. The fact that Violet is still missing is terrifying, but we have to be positive. For her and for us finding her", whispered the red head in a reassuring tone. "And if I could kiss the pain away, I promise you, I would...but for now, I can offer you lots of support and cuddles to get you through till tomorrow morning in a bit more comfort".

"Ginger", smiled the teacher, "I'm so lucky to have you".

"Say no more my love", whispered the red head, leaning in to her significant other's body and embracing her tightly, "Let me just hold you tight until you fall to sleep tonight. I want you to rest peacefully and wake up energised, ok?".

"Ok", smiled Rosemary, claiming her girls lips and falling in to the embrace, eventually lulling in to a deep sleep.

"No".

Ginger's eyes snapped open suddenly. She thought she heard a voice, but when all was silent, she closed her eyes again, feeling Rosemary breathing steadily on her neck, her arms wrapped around her in a gentle embrace, settling the red head down and making her feel safe.

"No".

It came again, Ginger frowning as she listened hard.

"No!".

It was louder now, the red head sitting up, using the blanket to cover her naked flesh as a cold chill smothered her skin. The shift was enough to stir her lover half awake.

"Mmm, babe...what's wrong?", asked Rosemary, her eyes barely able to keep open as she hugged the red head's waist sleepily.

"It's nothing sweet, go back to sleep", she whispered silkily in reply, kissing the woman's forehead softly.
