Sexual Attraction.... ( CaptainSwan story) #wattys2016

Let go

'You know him?' Killian draws his sword.

'Put it away.'

He pulls up his gun holding it at Killian. He withdraws his sword.

'Come in.' He gestures with the gun, we follow. I reach out to Killian, grabbing hold of his hand. He takes it squeezing it tentatively.

'Do you know him?' He whispers.

'Yes.. I do. He's the shop keeper, the one who collects items...'

Gold smiles and sits on the desk still holding the gun firmly.

'Look we don't want any trouble, we just want you to leave us be.'

I try negotiating, his fingers flicking at the gun, I edge closer to Killian.

'Not happening dearie.'

'Look.' Killian lets go of my hand. Stepping towards him.

'Just let us find her son. I'll pay any debt she owes, leave her alone.'

He swallows.

Gold laughs almost hysterically.

'You're stupid. You'll give it all up for her?'

'Yes. Everything I have.'

I smile, he truly does love me.

'Not so fast. Did she tell you?'

'Tell me what?'

'The real reason she wants to find her son? Did she tell you the real father is still alive?'

I flick my eyes between Killian and gold. My heart clenching as I withhold my breathe. Killian slowly turns to look at me.

'He's alive..'

'I..'

'And you knew?' I hear the disappoint reaching out of his voice. I look down.

'And you knew!' He yells.

'Yes. Yes ok. I knew, I knew he was alive-'

'And you didn't tell me.' He looks back at gold.

'Killian-'

'Why didn't you tell me?'

I move towards him, gold interrupts my actions by speaking.

'Well dearie that I can answer. It's simple, you was just a part of the equation.'

'That's not true, Killian-'

'She used you the whole time, jail to bringing you here. She planned it.'

I step forward grabbing Killian's arm.

'No, Killian look at me. I didn't, ok I didn't.'

He moves away from me, my hand slipping out of his grip. The coldness reaching my fingertips, I'm holding on to a lost cause. Slowly, his eyes drifting away from mine, I feel my eyes. The water slowly scrapping its way to the surface.

'You see. She wanted to rekindle with her ex lover-'

'Killian..'
