Jewel

I stand in the walk-in closet, eyes wide and heart pounding like crazy. I anxiously tug down the hem of the floral sweater I found and try to smooth out the wrinkles in the long skirt while Stefan peers out the window. I find a pair of old boots in a women’s size close enough to mine, and pull them on my feet. That way, I’m prepared for anything. To hide, to run, whatever it takes. But who the hell could have possibly found us here? And so quickly?

I quietly ask him, “Business or pleasure?”

“Looks like business to me. It’s a police car,” he says. His tone is grim.

I’m already nervous, but seeing the shift in Stefan’s demeanor definitely puts me into high-alert mode. Just a moment ago, when we were standing in this closet together, I could almost swear I felt that familiar lust picking up again. I could feel his eyes on my nude body, drinking in the curves and slopes he’s already shown so much pleasure. He wanted me again. I could feel his desire for me radiating off of his body like heat waves. I had been trying to play it modest, just an innocent young woman glad to find ‘girl clothes’ to put on after a long stretch of being uncomfortable in Stefan’s way oversized hand-me-downs. It’s partly true. But there was also part of me, a deeper-buried, more subconscious part that wanted him to see me naked. I wanted to feel his shrewd dark eyes piercing through my body. Sizing me up and fantasizing about me while I innocently get dressed in conservative clothing. For a tense, delicious moment there I thought we might get to jump each other’s bones right here in the closet. After all, we are finally alone at last.

Or, well, we were. Until this jackass showed up to ruin everything. And now, Stefan has shifted from lustful lothario to vigilant fugitive. I watch him flat against the wall, his eyes squinting when he slowly tilts around the edge of the window pane. The gauzy white curtain falls around his face when he peers out to check again. From here, I can see him, but not the window. I hastily lace up the boots I put on and crouch down to creep out of the closet. I move just barely to the edge of the en suite bathroom where the pale green tile meets the creaky wood floorboards. Stefan looks over at me from his place by the window, and his eyes are sharp with warning. He gives me just the faintest shake of his head.

“Don’t come any closer,” he hisses.

He’s mutating into that dark version of himself right before my eyes. Gone is the softness in his dark eyes, the true affection in his voice. I can see his body tensing up as all the muscles tighten. He grits his teeth and glares out the edge of the window again. We both hear the sound of a car door opening and slamming shut, followed by the crunching of boots on dirt.
