Chapter 4 - 'I sleep naked, is that OK?'
"So, does that mean I get to touch you all the time?" He asks smirking, moving his hand up to my neck. I roll my eyes.
"Yes, but it doesn't mean you're getting any." I reply raising my eyebrow. My mind goes to the pictures, but I quickly bring it back to the present day. Reid wasn't aware of what he was doing, and I'm not going to make him have an excuse to feel like I betrayed him, again. Hunter sighs but continues to smirk.
"I'll change your mind, being around each other all day, touching." He says winking. I shake my head. "Wait. Does that mean I get to shower and go to the toilet with you?" He asks, raising his eyebrows suggestively. I chuckle.
"Nuhuh buster, you're staying outside the door. We're going to have rules. You go home every night and I'll tell you when you can and cannot touch me. Got it?" I ask. He nods. "Do you mind if I have a drink?"
"I'll have to be with you most of the time, for an unknown amount of time, so I have to be used to it. To be honest, I don't really care." He says. I smile and walk into the kitchen. I feel Hunter walk beside, touching my hand. I shake my head.
"You don't need touch me all the time, only when you can." I tell him.
"I know. I just don't want him to do anything to you." He says concerned.
"Yeah, that's the only reason." I say sarcastically. "It seems like I can talk to you while it is happening, so I'll just call you if I need you." I add on. I carry on, but still feel his hand on my back. It's kind of comforting to know he is here, and will be a barrier to Kyle controlling me. I grab a glass and go to the cupboard under the sink.
"You keep them there?"He asks.
"Yeah."
"Not in the fridge?" I give him a weird look.
"Why would I want to keep them in the fridge? The human body temperature is 98.6˚F (37˚C). Anyway everyone goes into the fridge, so it's not a great hiding place."
"Oh, I suppose." I pour the bag into the glass, and turn around.
"Shall we sit outside, by the pool?" I ask. He nods. Hunter follows me closely out to the pool. I lower myself so my feet are in the water, and I am sat on the edge. Hunter sits down next to me, his thigh touching mine. We both talk, while we watch the sunset. When it's dark we both go in and Hunter says goodbye, before leaving. It feels weird without him touching me, and being around. I expect Kyle's voice to come into my head, but nothing happens. I'll be less jumpy as the days go on.
*^*^*
I have been asleep for a while, when I jolt awake. I pull back the covers and got out, walking to the door. Something was different.
"Kyle? Is-" I suddenly can't talk anymore. I watch as I walk down the stairs and to the doors, leading out to the beach. Maybe I was wrong earlier; I might not be able to talk while Kyle is controlling me after all.
"You may think you can keep me out, but Hunter won't be there all the time. Just a reminder of what I can get you to do." I hear Kyle's voice say. Fuck you! I think. Kyle gets me to walk to the pool. The glow of the pool looks magical in the night. A force, like hands, pushes me into the pool. I rise to the surface gasping. What the hell. I look around and don't see anyone. The same force pushes my head down, so I am under the water. I scream and thrash around trying to fight off the invisible force. Water enters my mouth. I give up fighting; the worst thing that can happen to me is that I pass out. He's just trying to scare me, and I won't give him the satisfaction. I wait for the blackness to overwhelm me, and when it does I feel relieved.
I am just coming back to awareness, and I feel I am still in the water, the 'hands' still holding me under. I internally sigh and wait for Kyle to get bored. A splash disrupts the calmness of the water. I feel hands grab my hips, and the force holding me under disappears. I feel the hard ground hit my back, and I gasp in fresh air.
"Aw, I don't get to give you mouth to mouth. I can give it you anyway if you want?"Hunter asks leaning down to me. I press a finger against his lips.
"I'm OK." I say chuckling. "What are you doing here?"
"With the way you were describing Kyle, I knew that he would try something. I got home, and kept thinking something was going to happen, so I eventually came back. I arrived here and saw you in the pool."
"Thanks for that." I reply sitting up. Hunter's hands rest on my legs. I shiver as a cool breeze comes in from the sea. I'm used to hot temperatures that no human could survive in. He starts to rub my legs, trying to warm them up.
"Come on, let's go in." He says. He grabs my hands and pulls me up, keeping hold of me as we walk in.
"Can you stay? I don't think he'll try again, but just in case?" I ask. He nods holding up a bag.
"I was going to stay, if nothing happened." I raise an eyebrow.
"You were just going to invite yourself over?" I ask.
"Yep." I shake my head at him, and walk upstairs back to the unmade bed. Hunter follows closely behind.
"I sleep naked, is that OK?" Hunter asks with a straight face. I hear his heartbeat rise. I punch him in the arm.
"You liar!"
"Ow! OK, I don't. It doesn't mean you can hit me though." He says faking hurt. I roll my eyes but laugh.
"I'm going to have a shower." I tell him.
"Want me to come? You know, just in case." He says, winking.
"Stay outside the door." I tell him.
"I need a shower too, it will save water." I shake my head at him and walk into my bathroom, shutting the door.
"You can have it afterwards." I shout.
*^*^*
I luckily get through a shower without Kyle making an appearance. I leave the bathroom and find Hunter sitting on my bed. When he sees me in the towel, his eyes widen.
"Shower's free." I tell him. He blinks and follows me with his eyes, until I am in my closet. I hear Hunter go into the bathroom and the water start up. It's a weird situation, I have gone further with Hunter than Reid, with Hunter staying the night, but Reid's my boyfriend. I pull out a pair of pyjamas and put them on. I enter my bedroom as the water stops. I get into bed, waiting for Hunter. The door opens and Hunter comes out in a towel. My jaw drops slightly at the sight of him. I follow the trickles of water down his muscular chest.
"Like what you see?" He asks. My eyes fly back up to his face.
"Meh, I've seen better." I lie. He raises an eyebrow, going over to his bag. He takes out a pair of pants and walks back to the bathroom. As he is going through the door, he drops his towel intentionally. I get a peek at his tone butt before the door closes. I pick up a pillow and throw it at the door. You can't tease a woman like that. After a second, Hunter re-enters the room. He walks over to the bed and gets under the covers on the other side. I smirk, thinking of a plan. If he wants to tease me, then I'll make him regret it. I lean over and press a kiss to his lips, which he happily reciprocates. I climb over until I am straddling him, pushing myself into him. He grabs my hips, leaning more into the kiss. I pull away, climbing off him and turn the lamp, on the bedside table off.
"Goodnight Hunter." I say, grinning. He clears his throat, and lies down, his hand touching my leg.
"Goodnight Scar." He says sounding strained.
