Nathaniel

Chapter Six

Setting the tray on the nightstand, he sighs, "I know you're angry with me but you will eat."

"Why? You didn't want me to eat at first. I'm just doing what you want," she bit her lips to stop it from trembling.

The bed dips under him as he sits next to her and grab her turning her to him, "Look Lillie I'm sorry I shouldn't have-" his words stop in his throat seeing her tear streaked face. She looked so sad, his heart felt like it was breaking. Damn it, what am I supposed to do now?

He gently wipes her tears from her face, she didn't fight him. The soft touch was somewhat comforting and reminded her of the Nate she knew. "Please just end this Nate."

"I can't," he said pulling his hands away, "now eat."

He grabs the tray leaving the water on the nightstand and sets the tray in her lap. Lillie didn't want too, she wanted to so bad rebelled against him, but seeing the food in front of her made her completely lose this battle. Her stomach was begging her and she couldn't deny it any longer. She took the first bite and almost moan out loud at the delicious taste and licked every corner of her lips.

Nate groan internally, her lips looks more delectable than anything he's ever ate. He swear never to starve her again, he will find different ways to punish her. But the punishments that came to his head all ends with her underneath him although he knew he would quite enjoy it. He was so lost in thoughts about the many different ways he can have her under him that she was done eating when he finally came too.

She stares at him trying to decipher what he was thinking about. "Uhhh, I'll go start you a bath," he quickly leaves her there.

That day, he didn't bother her much but let her rest to regain her energy. He had her stay in bed all day and brought her food two more times but didn't stay to see her devour it afraid of what he can do to her. She didn't mind. She needed her strength if she wanted to find a way out of here or at least convince him to let her leave. She knows that Nate is in there somewhere. Besides, it was her fault for not telling Nate everything sooner about Jonah and Mindy and he had trusted her. She broke his trust lying to him repeatedly and causing him to lose the love of his life. Of course, he was upset. She tried to convince herself that this wasn't his fault. But deep down, she knew, it was just because she likes him, that's why her mind continues to protect him.

The following day, Lillie was feeling much better. She was just about ready to shower when Nate walks into the room a bunch of bags in hand.

"What are those?" she said tightening the robe around her.

He strolls to the bed setting everything down. "Clothes, shoes and woman stuff. They are yours to use. Arrange the clothing into the closet and put the things where you want them."

"Here? I'm staying in this room?" she asked.

"Yes you will be sleeping in this room from now on," he answered.

"But this is your room. It's okay I can stay in another room." She said walking up to him and try to grab the bags.

"No you will stay in this room," he grabs her wrists stopping her, "we both are."

"What? Why? There's more than enough room in this house?" she was getting nervous now.

"It's not your place to question me. Remember this now Lillie, my word is law here. You will do as I say or there will be punishment." She was ready to protest but he cuts her off, "it's either you stay in this room with me or you go back to that small dark room. You choose."

She pulls her wrists out of his grasp. She didn't want to stay in the same room as him not that she was afraid he would do something, she was more afraid that she would allow him to. And the thought of going back to that room scared her.
