Honor Student
miss the taste
of you on my lips.” All of the strength left my body and if he
wasn’t pressed so tightly against me I would have melted onto the
floor. I let out a low heavy breath in his ear and I felt his body
respond against me. He rested his forehead against mine, his thumb
tracing my lower lip. I slipped my tongue out, gently touching it
to the tip of his finger. A small moan escaped his lips and he
pushed his finger back against my mouth. I opened wider, letting
his finger slip inside as I gently swirled my around it. His mouth
ran open along my face. “I should go.”
    “ No” I replied with
more desperation in my voice than I intended. He smiled, leaning
his forehead against mine as he closed his eyes. “I tried to stay
away from you Emma, but I can’t. You consume my every thought.
After graduation we should get away from here for awhile.” I hadn’t
realized that graduation was only two weeks away. More importantly,
had William just asked me to go away with him, alone?
    “Where?” I aksed, not
believing I had heard him correctly.
    “Anywhere. It doesn’t
matter. Just… far away from this place. I want to wake up to your
smile.” His look was serious and I tried my best not to grin like a
fool. Inside I was jumping up and down with joy. The emotional
rollercoaster this man has put my on from one moment to the next
had finally reached its peak. “Say yes.” His bright blue eyes
burned with wanting.
    “Yes, Sir” I smirked. He
pressed his lips hard against mine. Electricity surged between us
as I clung desperatly to his touch. “Be a good girl.” He smirked
but there was an underlying warning to his words. I moved to the
side, and he walked out of my bedroom, leaving my wanting more of
him.
    I spent the rest of
the evening catching up on school work and deciding on something to
wear for graduation. Every thought went back to William. He was
obviously more emotionally damaged than I was but something about
us together worked. He craved control and I needed someone to keep
me from being self-destructive.
    That night I dreamed of
William and I. I pictured us in a small home in Michigan with a
white picket fence. We were happy and caring, waving at our
neighbors as they passed by, but as the door opened to our quaint
little home my thoughts twisted into a gruesome nightmare. Mr.
Honor’s face contorted into an evil madmad, whip in hand. The walls
where lined with woman, chained and shackled begging to be set
free. I sat up in my bed, dripping with sweat and unable to control
my breathing.
    “Everything okay in
here?” Aunt Judy asked as she flipped on the bedroom light. I put
my hand up to cover my face from the harsh intrusion.
    “I’m fine. Just a bad
dream.” I explained. She rolled her eyes.
    “ It’s always
something with you, Emma.” She groaned as she pulled my door shut
behind her. I barely slept the rest of the night. As the sun began
to rise I got out of bed and got a head start on the day. I brewed
a fresh pot of coffee and took extra time to primp myself.
Something I hardly ever did before meeting William. I spent the
remainder of the morning searching the internet for romantic and
secluded places that William and I could go after graduation. I
wasn’t sure what price range was suitable, but judging by his
expansive living space and shiny new sports car, he had money that
did not come from a substitute teacher’s salary. There was so much
about him that was a complete mystery to me and I hoped that during
our time alone he would let me inside that beautiful mind of his.
My thoughts began to wander to his very particular tastes in the
bedroom and I wished I knew what had made him this way. He
obviously had a very caring side to him but he struggled to keep
that hidden from everyone, especially me.
    I had wasted away
the morning and decided to get ready and head to school. For once,
I would actually make it there early. I filled another cup of
coffee and headed out on to the
