I tried to move…to find the source of the voice…
I couldn’t move a muscle, I was paralyzed.
Feeling the loosening in my muscles, I jerked my arm only to be pulled back. There were chains around my wrists and my ankles.
“I’m here! Help me!”
Screams filled the space…
But this time, I was the one who screamed.
“Dawn? Damn it, Dawn, wake up.”
I opened my eyes in panic but my vision was blurred because of my tears.
“Dawn?” Alex asked cautiously.
I moved forward, wrapped my arms around his neck tightly and sobbed uncontrollably.
“Shh…it was a nightmare. Shh, beautiful…I’ve got you.” Alex murmured in my hair to soothe me. It wasn’t working. He rocked me slowly back and forth but I couldn’t get rid of the screams in my ears.
I finally stopped crying yet, I was miserable. It was so real. Her voice was ringing in my ears. I shuddered with the hatred and disappointment I heard in her voice.
The pain was slicing my body open from the inside out. I wanted to replace this feeling with something better because the pain and guilt was too much for me to carry all the time. I just wanted to forget the nightmare for a while.
“Dawn…tell me what I can do.” Alex whispered into my ear.
“Kiss me,” I whispered without thinking.
“What? Dawn…” he started to protest but I stopped him.
“Yesterday, you said you wanted to make me feel better, to make me forget. Do it, Alex. Please.”
I wasn’t making sense but I didn’t care. I was too focused on feeling anything but pain, too desperate to feel something good, something that could ease this pain and make me focus again enough to keep going with my life. I needed to feel affection. I needed to forget I was alone in this world.
“Dawn…” he said again, but the protest in his voice was so weak.
“Kiss me, Alex. Don’t make me beg more than I already have.” He cupped my cheeks between his palms and looked into my eyes. His look was soft, concerned and sweet.
I closed my eyes when he leaned down to kiss me. I could feel the tears on my cheeks but didn’t care.
His kiss was slow and tender, teasing my lips. His touch was feathery soft, like he was afraid I would shatter. It wasn’t hard, it was affectionate. It was the total opposite of my feelings—exactly what I needed after a bad nightmare. He was clearing the guilt with every tender touch of his tongue.
He laid me down on the bed as his arms still wrapped around me. He licked my bottom lip and sucked it, distracting me. But it wasn’t enough, I needed more. The screams were still ringing in my ears. Not loud like they once were but they were still there.
Alex propped himself on his elbows above me and looked at me carefully. My eyes were still teary and my vision was blurred but I could feel his affection, his tenderness and his concern on his face.
He leaned into me again but this time, he peppered my face with little kisses till I started to smile. He kissed my cheeks, my nose and my forehead a dozen times.
“Alex…enough,” I smiled at him and he gazed down at me again. This time with a mischievous look on his face. He was up to something but before I could question him, he placed his lips to the crook of my neck, giving me the playful kisses but then his kisses turned to sucking.
My hips arched off the bed to meet his when he found my sweet spot just above my collarbone.
“Alex…” I moaned.
My nightmare was long gone…forgotten. My body was in charge. Like the change of his kisses, my focus turned to desire from guilt as well.
“Do you want to play a game, love?” Alex smirked as he moving down on my body. He played with the strand of my robe.
