Noah was used to getting a girl out of her panties, not so much for getting them back inside them. This was new for him, so very new.
With help from Skye, he was able to work her pants up her thighs, followed by her jeans. He secured the button at the front, climbing onto the bed and pulling her into his arms.
“You couldn’t hit him, could you? You don’t have the strength. The food is not enough.”
“I’ll get my strength back.”
“Noah, something bad is going to happen. You know it is. So do I. I don’t think this is going to be easy for us. Don’t lie to me right now. They’ve checked my…” He saw her legs press together. “They did that for a reason.”
“I know. I won’t let anything bad happen to you.”
“You’re not going to be able to stop it. We both need to realize, this is our future. That woman, whoever she was cleaning up blood, we’re going to end up like her.”
“No, we’re not. We’re not going to do anything like that. I promise you, Skye. We’re going to get out of this.” He held her tightly against him, trying to offer her comfort throughout the darkness. “I miss going on my runs and eating cheeseburgers. I loved going to the diner. You saw me all the time.”
“You always had the biggest burger available. Three patties, mountains of cheese and bacon.”
“I loved the food.”
“You’re trying to distract me?” she asked.
“Is it working?”
“A little bit.”
“I know it doesn’t seem like we’re going to get out of here, but we will. I know we will.” He had to have hope.
Hope that they’d make it.
Hope that whoever was doing this to them, would be brought to some kind of justice. Any other alternative didn’t work for him, not even a little bit.
Humming to Skye, he locked their fingers together.
“When we get out of here, I’m going to take you for one of those burgers,” he said. “I’m going to want you to eat the entire thing, and as we do, we’re going to be laughing over what happened here. We got through this, together.”
“Deal.”
