I’m awakened by movement. Someone is moving me. Arms under my legs, around my back. Carrying me. My heavy eyes try to pry themselves open, and the scent of smoke fills me.

I feel breaths against my forehead.

Kyle.

But I know Kyle is gone.

Eli.

Oh God. Where is he?

Like needles pricking my body, I jerk up. “I need Eli. Please.” A groan comes from deep within my throat. “Please, where’s Eli?” This is not happening again. It can’t be.

“I’m here. I’m right here.”

I feel the drum of his familiar voice in my chest.

Before I know it, we’re inside the familiar Malcomb Place, and it’s Eli who’s carrying me to the bedroom.

Carefully, he sets me down on the side of the bed and sits me upright. He takes my face in his hands. He’s only inches from me as he stares into my eyes. “I’m all right. I’m right here.”

He’s scared. I can see it in his eyes.

I nod like I’m a little girl. Tears begin to stream down my face, and I pull Eli into my arms and begin to shake. “I’m cold.”

Eli gently pulls my arms free from his neck and slowly begins to undress me, his eyes never leaving mine.

First, he slides my UGGs from my feet, gently and carefully. He slides my sweatshirt over my head, exposing my black lace bra. Eli pulls me up into his arms, unbuttons my jeans, and slowly eases them down around my thighs, setting me back down on the bed, completely pulling them off.

Eli, still fully clothed, doesn’t look anywhere but my eyes as he quickly takes off his clothes. He stands me up, pulling me to his body again.

My flesh against his.

He unfastens my bra, pulling it away from between us, and my breasts are firmly against his chest. He then slides my panties down, the small piece of lace that separates the difference between a man and a woman, using his foot to pull them away while still keeping our bodies together.

I feel all of him harden against me. He pulls away so that I no longer feel him against me.

“No, please,” I beg from somewhere deep within me.

I know he does this because of the trauma that he saw me relive. I know he pulls away because sex has somehow become secondary to him, overthrowing his need.

He groans an apology into my ear as his body shifts back toward me so that I feel his length against me again.

“Yes,” I say, “like that.”
