We had to talk about this; I had to think it... We had to talk about this; I had to think it throughJamie was waiting for
me, with questions that I couldn't answer with liesNo, he wasn't waiting for me; he was
waiting for MelanieHow could I have done this? What if she was really gone?
Mel, Mel, Mel, come back! Melanie, Jamie needs youMel,
can you hear that? Jamie is sick!
I was talking to myself
My hands were trembling with fear and stressI wouldn't be able to wait here much longerI
felt like the anxiety was going to make me swell until I popped
Finally, I heard footstepsConfusion swept through me
“Just think of it as… an experiment,”
borse louis vuitton Ian was saying
“Are you crazy?” Jared answered“Is this some sick joke?”
My stomach dropped through the floorhat's what he'd meant
Blood burned in my face, hot as Jamie's feverWhat was Ian doing to me? I wanted to run, to
hide somewhere better than my last hiding place, somewhere I could never, ever be found, no
matter how many flashlights they usedBut my legs were shaking, and I couldn't move
Ian and Jared came into view in the room where the tunnels metIan's face was expressionless;
he had one hand on Jared's shoulder and was guiding him, almost pushing him forwardJared
was staring at Ian with
gucci silver bag anger and doubt
“Through here,” Ian encouraged, forcing Jared toward meI flattened my back against the rock
Jared saw me, saw my mortified expression, and stopped
“Wanda, what's this about?”
I threw Ian one blazing glance of reproach and then tried to meet Jared's eyesI looked at his feet instead

“Not kissme,

I still had my eyes on his feet, so I saw him step toward me
“You think, if I kiss her… ?”
I couldn't even nod
Familiar hands brushed my neck, tracing down either side to my shouldersMy heart thudded
loud enough that I wondered if he could hear it
I was so embarrassed, forcing him to touch me this wayWhat if he thought it was a trick–my
idea, not Ian's?
I wondered if Ian was still there, watchingHow much would

One hand continued, as I knew it would, down my arm to my wrist, leaving a trail of fire
behind itThe other cupped beneath my jaw, as I knew it must, and pulled my face up
His cheek pressed against mine, the skin burning where we were connected, and he whispered
in my ear
His cheek slowly slid back, and his chin tilted to the side so that his mouth covered mine
Hetried to kiss me softlyI could tell that he triedBut his intentions went up in smoke, just like

There was fireeverywhere, becausehe was everywhereHis hands traced my skin, burning it
His lips tasted every inch of my
