Behind Closed Doors

-Winter 2016-

I stepped out of the Rolls Royce that Reese had sent to pick me up. It was amazingly comfortable. The chairs were made of the best quality, I swear I could've fallen asleep, and I never sleep on travels, no matter how long they may be.

The mansion was…grand! It felt just like a palace from a historical romance book, where the prince and princess lived under one roof. I was more nervous than excited. I was glad that his parents weren't around, because I didn't know how to act in front of them. I hadn't even known that Reese had a sister until just a few days ago. Reese didn't tell me…anything about himself. I just knew his name, his age, his birthday, his contact…but nothing about his family or personal life or back ground or childhood.

I knocked on the great wooden door, and a man dressed in a crisp black suit opened the door. His eyes widened when he saw me and he licked his lips…almost as if he was hungry.

Then he narrowed his vision almost as if he was considering.

"Who are you, little Missy? Lost your way, Hm?"

He raised his eyebrows and gave me a suspecting look. I took a deep breath to compose myself. This man was very intimidating.

"Uh…No. This is the Silver mansion right?" My voice came out thin and squeaky.

"So you are at the right place." He remarked, almost looking impressed, "So why are you here?"

The man had white hair, but he looked to be in his late thirties, his eyes were a dull ember.

"She's my girlfriend."

Reese walked out from behind him, scratching his head while yawning. Then he grinned at me.

I thought that Reese had something important to do, which was why he couldn't pick me up…but he had been just sleeping. Disappointment came to me faster than I could blink but I restrained a frown and forced a smile.

"I apologize for not picking you up personally. I went to sleep just an hour ago. I did plan on picking you up, but due to some matters I couldn't sleep at all during the night…" Reese said with a slight scowl and his head tilted.

"As if you sleep at night ever…" A young girl, younger than me even, walked in.

She had brown hair and black eyes. She was short heighted but dressed respectably in a dress.

I assumed that this was his sister.

"My sister, Michelle." Reese gave Michelle a sideways look of irritation.

"Now, follow me to where you'll be staying. Jonah, get her luggage."

The butler guy bowed his head and picked up my bag. We walked into a well lit room, with a chandelier hanging in the middle. The floor was marbled in the shape of diamonds. This definitely seemed like a story book house. My face lit up as I saw a picture of Reese, where he looked about 9 years old.

He shot me a slight smile as he caught me looking at it, I blushed and looked down.

"Why won't she talk? Reese she is BOOORING!" Michelle wined.

Michelle was following us.

"Why would she talk to my insolent sister, Hm?" Reese replied sharply and gently took my hand.

I bit my lip as our fingers intertwined. It almost felt like he was warning me…

We climbed up a stair case. The house had brown walls and grand purple curtains that were closed. There was absolutely no sunlight inside the house. The carpet on the stairs was purple as well. There was a glass table below the chandelier and armchairs made a semi-circle around it.

He took me to the third room to the right. Just as Jonah left, the door shut automatically.

I looked around Reese's room, my new room. There was a bed in the middle, it was black, the side-tables were also blacked and there was a white lamp on top of the side-table. There was also a dressing-table with a mirror on the right corner of the room. There was a door which I assumed was the walk-in cupboard.

Reese jumped onto his bed and lay there as I stood awkwardly.

'No need to be awkward. It's only you and him now' I comforted myself.

'But if we're alone then that means….' Another terrifying thought climbed up in my brain and I shut my eyes tightly.

Reese was staring at me intensely. I took a deep breath and bent down to open my bag.

"Don't bother. Jonah will do it when we go to eat breakfast." Reese stopped me.

"I already had breakfast." I said plainly as I got up.

"I don't usually eat breakfast either so I suppose we can bunk the meal." He shot me a bored look and patted the bed.

I sighed and walked to it. He sat up and put one arm behind him and leaned on it. I sat down right in front of his legs. He then crossed his legs.

"So how was your day so far?" He asked.

I shrugged.

"Nothing happened…except the move."

"Do you like it here?"

"Yeah…I guess."

"What's wrong?" His eyes showed irritation more than concern.

I sighed and dropped my head back.

"I guess I'm not in a mood for talking right now."

"Just like I'm not in the mood for holding back."

He grabbed my wrists and pinned me to the bed.

"R-R-Reese?" I stuttered as he gazed into my eyes with an amused look.

Was he enjoying seeing me like this?

Gosh, what a sadist!

Why was I suddenly finding everything about him so…annoying?

"Hm?" He asked.

I shook with fear as he gently leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead.

I sighed in relief.

He then got up from above me and collapsed on his pillow. He then patted the pillow in front of him and I dutifully obeyed and lay down. He held my hand and closed his eyes and went to sleep almost instantly.

I caught sight of his ear piercing and a tattoo on his collarbone. I hadn't even known that he had a tattoo! He looked so relaxed that I couldn't help but smile. As I tried to pull my hand away, he pulled me in closer. His breath was hot on my neck. I stared at the wall behind him. I could feel his heartbeat against my chest.

I sighed and closed my eyes to sleep. It had been a tiring day and I had not gotten any sleep at all the night before. That must've been why I had been cranky. Sleep hit me quick with him by my side.

That was the first time I had been in the same bed as a boy. I had always thought that would be dying with fear and nervousness if I was even a foot near a boy…instead, I felt so comfortable…so safe…

I snuggled into his shoulder and he opened one eye. He saw me blush, he then smiled and closed his eye. He let me cuddle into his body and go to sleep there.

When I woke up…

Our lips were touching.

And at that exact moment, Reese woke up. He smiled into our kiss as he saw my wide and surprised eyes.

He out one of his hands behind my head and the other one around my waist and he pulled me into a proper kiss. After pulling away after around 2 minutes he turned to me.

"Feel any better?" He asked.

"Yep." I replied and we both stared at the ceiling.

The he sighed,

"I'm sorry for…forcing this on you…it was selfish of me…but I wanted it so bad." He groaned and held his head.

I sat up and smiled at him.

"Nah…I'm glad that you did."

He grinned at me before grabbing my hand on which I was leaning on and pulled me towards his body.

I was literally behind me. So close. Our bodies were touching and I let out a whimper…a whimper of shock…not fear.

Reese chuckled when he saw that.

Then he gently began to lick my neck, just below my ear.

"I'm sorry Amy…I'm so sorry." He apologized in between of his licks.

Why was he apologizing? He wasn't hurting me.

And then it came to me.

Gosh how stupid and blind was I?

I just realized it!

It all suddenly made sense.

But…could it be??

"Sorry for what?" I asked, my voice wavering at the possibility.

"For this…"

And then…

And then...

He opened his mouth…

And.

Dug.

His.

Fangs.

Into.

My.

Neck.
