Survival Is Only The Beginning
“Blossoming Flower?”
The tender voice spoke after a whimper escaped my slightly parted lips.
I was in two places at once. My body was in the safe arms of someone I recognized as mine, but the other part of me lay upon the flat surface of a metal table. The more I focused on it, the stronger the nightmare grew.
Those fearful instances of suffering, agony, and traumatizing pain.
The emotions dug into my flesh like knives, marking me up with various imperfections - like a marker sectioning off every part of me that needed to be fixed.
Everything needs to be fixed…
That manic laughter always sent chills down my spine. That specific pitch proved something had gone right when a lot of shit had gone fucking wrong. I was but a puppet, waiting for those strings to pull my limbs up and cater to their every move.
I had no choice but to obey, for I was in their captivity until the timer went off. No matter how many times I screamed, begged, or dreamed of my freedom, in that designated time of recovery, all I experienced was pain.
Electrocuting pain that went down to my very soul.
It felt like I was trapped in a cycle. The chilled atmosphere, the frigid liquid that went through my veins and made me feel so hot seconds later, it was all too much, and I begged to suffocate on my agony so I’d be freed.
Free from the whip of anguish that worked overtime to ruin me.
“Willow.”
The same voice was tugging at me, but it now echoed in the walls of my mind - pleading with me to come to their side of safety.
I wanted to - craved to choose the side that cared for me, but what if I brought my monsters with me? This daunting woman from my nightmares wouldn’t carry an ounce of mercy, and I couldn’t be the culprit in bringing harm to those I loved.
I have to endure it…silently. No one else will experience this pain. No one. No one. No-
Something hot pressed against the side of my neck. The touch was scorching with enough heat to jolt me awake, but it extinguished just as fast as it kindled, replaced by toe-curling pleasure that left me moaning.
The spike and drop in my clusterfuck of emotions left me feeling absolutely drained which was why I tried to figure out what was happening. I felt like I’d dropped out of a helicopter, wrestled a bear, gotten electrocuted, died, been revived, raced down a mountain, and saved a town against an avalanche.
Wait…didn’t that happen?
Did it actually matter right now? Not really. I think all my mind could focus on was attempting to figure out who was kissing the left side of my neck so delicately in the middle of this dark room.
I had the intention of asking, but my sluggish brain actually knew who was with me which was why his name escaped my lips a second later.
“Saint?” My voice was thick with sleep, and I was rather tempted to go back to doing that.
He didn’t answer, his lips far too busy laying hickeys against my flesh. It actually made me smile while my body began to relax - the tension from the nightmare I was experiencing beginning to flee like a demon being exorcised from my body.
Those kisses began to trail up my neck, then my cheek, and I couldn’t help but move to hit home - our lips meeting in a tender press.
It was amazing how one simple touch could make the demons run away. My mind was still frantic from the wild dream -or nightmare –as I tried tountangle from the strings of confusion and became flooded with a sense of peace.
And lustful need.
Our lip movements were slow but sensual in their smooth delivery, and I further pressed into Saint’s body as my left side pressed into his bare chest. I knew I was wearing something, at least some form of panties beneath what I’d assume was a blanket, but that was it.
Which could be a bit convenient.
It felt like Saint was wearing shorts, or it could have been his boxers, but I was getting pulled away into his flawless delivery of passion and it didn’t matter anymore. Nothing seemed to matter in this stage of comforting affection, for my mind was worrying less about what had occurred prior to my awakening and instead was centered on my Dark Lord.
