It isn’t our best sex, but being with her in a way that feels normal and good is exactly what I need.
She circles her body over me, arching her back and riding me gently.
I hold back as long as I can, but when she presses her body close to me, her breath hot against my neck, and moans that she is coming, I let go.
We fall apart together, sweaty and bruised and grasping for the last seconds of relief before reality crashes down over us.
21
Eve
They come for us a few minutes after I put my clothes back on.
I’m sitting on the bed next to Luka. He is bare-chested, his pant leg split up to his hip, and his bandages looking close to needing to be changed when the door bursts open.
Faster than I think should be possible in his state, Luka is on his feet, jaw clenched.
“Don’t you all know how to knock?”
The guards clearly have no interest in banter as they walk directly to my side of the bed and grab my arms.
I’m too stunned to move.
Luka and I just talked about how strong I am, but as the guards approach, all I can think about is that this could be the last time I see Luka. That could have been the last time we ever have sex. I might never get to speak to him again.
“Don’t touch her!” Luka roars, hurtling over the bed and throwing himself at one of the guards.
I scream and try to help him as much as I can, thrashing my arms and legs to make it more difficult to hold onto me, but the guards barely move. They are so much stronger than me. And right now, they are stronger than Luka, too.
The guard brushes Luka aside like he is nothing. He falls on the floor and cries out when he lands on his leg.
If it wasn’t fractured before, it probably is now.
“I love you!” I yell at him over the din of the room. “I love you.”
If this is the last time we are together, I want him to know. I want him to know how I feel. That I don’t regret anything.
That I don’t regret him.
Luka doesn’t answer, but drags himself to his feet using the end of the bed and throws himself forward again.
This time, the guard is visibly annoyed. He sighs and lets go of my arm to deal with Luka, but Luka’s attack must be more than he expected because the guard stumbles back as Luka collides with his chest.
Then, Luka rears back and throws a fist, and the man doubles over with a groan as the punch hits its mark.
“Shit,” the guard still holding me mumbles. He doesn’t look panicked, but he is surprised.
I spin around as fast as I can and knee him in the crotch.
His entire body clenches, and his face twists into agony. “Fuck.”
I bring my knee back to hit him again, but the guard is too fast. He wraps an arm around my chest, pressing in on a bruise on my arm, and crushes me against him. Then, I feel the cool kiss of metal at my temple.
“I’ll fucking shoot her right here.”
The noise in the room goes quiet.
Luka and the guard separate.
