CHAPTER 5 — KATNISS
1308 Words
My screams were muffled by his rugged hand, clamped strongly on my mouth. He leaned in closer, lowering his face to mine.
"I'm gonna take my hand off your mouth, but don't you dare scream. Do you f*****g understand that?"
I nodded frantically, and his eyes did a quick scan of my face. It seemed like he was trying to detect if I was lying or not. When he got convinced, he slowly took his hand off.
"So you got enough balls to walk in here, but not enough to answer your questions? Had to allow Mama to answer for you. Some Mama's girl you are." He snorted, still hovering his face close to mine. His movements caused his d**k to continuously brush against my stomach. I had to muffle each moan that tried to escape my lips.
"No, I didn't…I couldn't…I didn't…" Goddess, why the hell was talking becoming so difficult?
"I get it. You're naive. So Mama should always be on guard for her little girl. I'm just wondering where the hell she was when you wandered off alone that night."
My heartbeat tripled at his words and just before I could think of a reply, he leaned in closer and his warm breath teased my neck.
"Kissing me that night was a mistake, I presume?"
I froze. Seconds ticked and I still couldn't give a logical reaction. He waited and then I felt his d**k pressed hard to my stomach. I couldn't bite down the moan so it slipped out.
"I asked you a goddamn question!"
"I don't know what you're talking about." I lied, but he wasn't having any bit of it.
With an abrupt force, he slammed my back against the door. It was reckless and menacing, and then he grabbed my arms, pinning them above my head.
He was huge. So f*****g huge that I felt completely devoured by his physique. I had nothing on him, and he was handling me like a piece of cake.
"I might have played dumb and not said a word in front of everyone, but between you and I, behind closed doors, I'm not gonna put up with your games. Now talk. Why the f**k did you kiss me?!"
"I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else." I cried out, trying so hard to wiggle my hand away from his grip. But it was impossible.
"You thought I was my brother?" He asked. Nah, it was more like a statement. "What are you two really? Childhood friends? Step-siblings? Or is it undefined?"
I couldn't give a good answer to his question. Rex had a platonic love for me. But I had more than that for him. I loved him in a way that ran deeper than just platonic love. So I wasn't sure what tag to give us exactly.
"With the way you kissed me, I think it's safe to say you do have some deep feelings for him. So I guess this is some one-sided shit."
"Please, don't tell him…"
"What do I get in return?"
"Huh?" I was taken aback by his question.
"What the hell do I get in return for keeping your big secret?" He reiterated, tightening his grip on my hands.
"What do you want?" I asked, with a suppressed cry.
"You sound f*****g desperate. What are you gonna do if I decide to take advantage of it?" His eyes darkened further.
"What do you mean?"
He fell silent. But his striking eyes took a last swipe of my face down to my body, in a way that wasn't so normal. It screamed 'pervert' but in a hot, arousing way.
I'd never felt this much wetness between my legs ever, but I could feel my panties soaked from just his stares. My p***y was throbbing at a crazy pace.
"I'll let you know what I want." He finally replied and slowly let go of my hands. He backed away, for real this time. Picked up the towel and tossed it on the bed.
Just then a knock pounded on the door, and my breath hitched as Rex's voice followed.
"What the hell, Max? I need to get my shirt!" He yelled angrily, pounding harder on the door.
"Come get it in the morning. For now, get lost!" Max retorted heatedly.
"Bastard!" Rex cussed and then his retreating steps followed.
I was too frozen, but what the hell just happened? I could tell from the dining that they didn't have a good bond. But I never imagined it was this bad.
With shaky hands, I reached for the doorknob, eager to leave the room.
"If you leave now, you could run into him in the hallway. He's gonna ask what you were doing in here. Do you have an answer for that?" Max said, stopping me.
My hand fell to my side but I was fidgeting. He put on his shirt and his pants and ran a towel through his hair. I watched his every movement, much against my better judgment.
He turned to look at me, and his shirt had some buttons open, down to his chest. I caught sight of a gruesome tattoo, boldly covering his chest. It was a creature, like the one on the cover of the book on the bed. A creature with fangs, and blood dripping from it.
What the hell did he find attractive in horrific s**t like this?
"You can't tell him you saw my dick." He said, breaking my thoughts. "He seems to give a f**k about you, so he would want you to stay away from me. Telling him you saw my d**k would certainly put him off."
His words were a bit cryptic so I couldn't make sense of all of them. But I got the last part, and yeah, he was right. I could never tell Rex that I saw….fuck! I can't even say it. And it's worse that the image is still vivid in my mind.
"Funny how we just met but we already have a million secrets bonding us together. I'm gonna enjoy this – wherever it leads– with you, Katniss." He smirked. For the first time, I got to see his dentition, it was sparkling.
Again, I reached for the doorknob but this time, he didn't stop me. I walked out and shut the door behind me. I had the clicking sound from inside just about the same second.
Leaning against the door, I shut my eyes briefly as I tried to steady my heartbeat.
"Kat."
My eyes flew open and there was Rex, approaching me. He glanced at the door and then at me. "Did you go in there?"
"Ye–yes. I thought it was still your room."
"No..not anymore. Father gave me a new room, so this room now belongs to my brother, who you should stay away from."
"Huh?" I was taken aback by his words.
"Listen, Kat." He placed firm hands on my shoulders, looking dead into my eyes. "My brother is off-limits to you. No talking to him. No bonding with him. No nothing with him. I need you to keep your distance, as hard as you can. Do you understand?"
I nodded.
"Good," he smiled and held my hand. "Let's go play some games in my new room. And then I'll finally get to give you your birthday present."
I followed him but my heart was thumping hard with anxiety and uneasiness.
Staying away from Max seemed like something that would be impossible to do. I already created some sick pact with him and he doesn't seem like the type who's gonna let me off easily.
What do I do to fix this? How do I break away from Max without endangering the beautiful bond I have with Rex?
How do I get out of this mess? Just how?
