Zoom's Redemption

2 I Love You

First, she had to memorize the room layout and the objects in the room. There wasn't even a light bulb or a window. All she had was a mini-refrigerator and a small wardrobe. Not exactly the things to aid you in an escape. She sighed. She had to think. The psycho bastard was probably watching her every move through the camera.  It must have been around an hour since he left. Her friends would find her. Cisco must be working on something as she thought. Wells would easily find her. Cisco and Wells are the smartest people on earth. They will get you out of here. She told herself. I have vibe-proofed the whole building. His voice resonated in her mind. No, she couldn't believe that. Her friends would think of something. She just had to wait.

She got out of her bed and tried to look nonchalant as she explored the room. Surely, he couldn't be watching her all the time. She couldn't hear any noise, not even traffic or wind. It was dead-silent. She hoped the shower had a ventilation shaft or something like that. Of course, there was nothing. She had to feel the walls and look for any hollow spots. May be there was a secret passage to somewhere. She also had to make sure he wasn't watching her when she did that.  She looked up at the camera fixed on the ceiling.

"J... Hunter." She called and waited. Nothing. "Hey, psychopath!" She waved her hands at the camera. Nope. Feeling confident, she raised her middle finger. Nothing. She still couldn't trust that he wasn't looking. "Jay... I'm not going to call you Hunter. You will always be Jay to me. The Jay I fell in love with." She gulped and waited. And still in love with. She couldn't say that out loud, however. There was no sign of him. She had an idea. A very stupid idea. "I want you. Here. Now." She said, slowly unbuttoning her shirt. Her hand was shaking badly. Jesus, she couldn't even act! She didn't understand why her cheeks and neck flamed as if he was really watching her. With the last button down, she waited. Nothing. Good.

She hurriedly buttoned up her shirt and moved to examine the walls. She tapped the wall with her shoe hoping to find something. It felt like solid rock! After examining every wall, she gritted her teeth in frustration. Maybe there was a trapdoor on the floor. She examined every inch of the floor in vain. Then she pushed the bed aside. Nothing but solid marble. Disappointed, she put the bed back in place and sat down. There was no way out of the room. She was locked away from the rest of the world, completely at his mercy. Her stomach growled and she had no choice but to eat the turkey sandwich waiting for her in the fridge.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, or how long it had been, but when she opened her eyes, he was sitting on the floor, looking at her. "Hello, love." He said in a soothing voice that made her heart flutter.

"Hunter." She said curtly, sitting up. He zoomed onto the bed and sat beside her, tucking a loose lock of hair behind her ear. Her heart beat faster. He traced his hand from the back of her neck to her spine. She swallowed. Lord, he was so handsome. He put his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "W... What are you doing?" She mumbled.

"I thought you swore to call me Jay, not Hunter." He smirked devilishly.

Her jaw dropped. Good lord! The conceited ass saw everything. She had acted like an utter fool! Her face burned with embarrassment. "How dare you..." She growled, hoping she could disappear into a black hole. He tilted her chin up, looking into her eyes. His smoldering gaze. She gulped, awestruck. He shouldn't have this effect on her!

"You have no idea how badly I wanted to do what you asked." He rasped, tracing her cheekbone with his finger. Kill me now. She thought, closing her eyes. "I waited, just to see what you planned to do. You have nowhere to go, Cait. You are stuck with me. I think you understood that after your little experiment." He breathed, kissing her ear. Her mind ceased to work. "Do you want me, Cait? Here? Now?" He planted soft kisses on her neck. Her fingers unknowingly reached for his head and knotted themselves in his silky hair. She hugged him tight and close, lost in his kisses.
