[chapter thirteen]
Disclaimer: If you've heard of them, I don't own them. Everything else is mine, so no stealing, pretty please. ;-)
~Madelyn's POV~
"Oh my god! You've got to be kidding!" His voice raises higher and higher, his eyes reflecting the flashing of the fire.
Oh, I'm really not.
"No. I'm not. I'm sure I'm not the first girl who's wandered into your room and made your day. So don't deny it!" I throw back, angrily uncapping my water and taking a drink to avoid looking at him.
"Jesus Christ, you make me sound like some sort of sexual predator." He says, his voice dangerously quiet after several seconds of absolute silence.
Yeah.
And?
"Well, I'm just saying…" I begin before he cuts me off.
"I'm not like that, Madelyn. Jesus, you know me better than that!"
I shake my head slowly. "No. I don't. I don't know you better than that." I say, my own voice softening, the fight going out of me. "I don't know you at all."
He looks…wounded.
God.
"You…you really don't think you know me? After we…" He trails off, and I know he doesn't know what to say.
"Listen, Jeff. We slept together. One stupid, idiotic, completely meaningless night. Okay? It's done." I say evenly.
Dare I add, one unbelievably hot night.
**flashback**
"Oh god…Jeff…right…there…" I can hear myself moaning, not even recognizing my own voice.
"You feel so good Maddy…god…" His own voice unrecognizable, overflowing with lust and emotion. "Stay. Stay right here. Forever." He murmurs, refusing to let me tumble over the edge of oblivion.
"No…please…" I beg, aching for release, aching to scream, to kiss him, to urge him on, but he just stops all motion, his eyes boring into mine.
"Please stay." He whispers.
**end flashback**
But that's neither here nor there.
"Fine." He says, his voice soft, almost…hurt.
"Fine." I echo.
"You said you don't know me at all. What do you want to know?" Jeff asks after a few seconds of extremely tense silence.
Everything.
I want to know everything.
"I don't know, Jeff. Tell me everything I need to know in two minutes or less. How about that?"
That should shut him right up.
