Attraction

Chapter 1

"My heart broke the day I saw you looked at her the way I look at you"

The air seemed like an enemy to my lungs. As my body willed them to fill up with warm air which was engulfing me.

My eyes started getting blurry from the tears that sat there threatening to spill. Disgust and fear filled me as the man stood above me; taking his jeans off. A sob wailed through my mouth.

This night was supposed to free me from the problems, the pain, and the betrayal I felt from my family and friends.

The night had started with me; Maya in a club. It was place that just felt wrong to be, my body wasn't used to the rhythms which echoed through the dark room where the colours danced vividly  against the walls and ceiling.

The vast amount of people surrounding me automatically created a pit in my stomach .
My ears begging for the peace of my apartment and the smell of my candles while I sat snug awaiting sleep.

My best-friend would describe me as the shy type and stood  in the club I was in I couldn't deny his deductions.

But tonight I wanted the pain to be numb, to be gone. So, how hard could it be?

I had chosen to wear a really short dark navy dress made from lace, it stopped high on my thigh. It made my long legs look fine as hell. I paired some high heels and let my natural black curls down, they reached my waist. My makeup consisted of Smokey eyes and dark lips. It was a look to make me look confident and so sure of myself. I was being fake, to fit in.

The night didn't start of exciting I had no one to have the pre drinks or to do anything so I sat watching hormonal people around me grind. Questioning if it was the right choice to be here,  do these people have any shame damnnn.

After a while a man approached me.

"Drink pretty girl" he said and his eyes inspected me from head to toe, lingering longer on my breasts. Urhh. The male species never ceases to surprise me.

I looked at my glass empty, great.  I put on my best flirting face and replied. "Why yes, thanks handsome" I knew I didn't have to flirt like that but it was fun to do all those 'forbidden' things and being anyone I wished to be. It was like playing dress up as a little girl choosing whatever character you wish to be.

He handed me the drink after a while, without paying attention to his body resting aside me I let my eyes linger a bit longer towards the dance floor before grabbing the drink and downing it. I knew I was definitely going to remember these drinks tomorrow, no doubt about that.

Did I care? No. All I had was this over whelming feeling to dance my ass off. I quickly mumbled a thanks and pushed my way to the dance floor. Yeah and he thought one drink would get him a dream ticket to the South Pole.

I threw my head back and hands into the air and started to sway my hips. I could feel the stares on me, yes my lovelies I can dance like sex on legs. Well when I'm drunk.

The musics rhythm got me moving  syncing  my body to the beat which was slow to start of my ears were filled with the songs and I was in my own world with a buzzing feeling.

I knew my dress was riding dangerously high but my mind was fuzzy and nothing seemed to matter in that moment. I closed my eyes and let the music hit me, I let it drown me as if I was alone in a vast oceans floating. Freedom, that's what it felt like it.

I was pulled out of my trance when I felt two strong hands on my waist, I turned around with my eyes still closed as the club lights were dim anyways.  I started to grind against him without thinking. Placing my arms around his neck.

I heard a low husky growl causing a curiosity to burn deep in me. I opened my eyes and they met with a pair of half closed grey eyes he slowly leaned in and the realisation hit me.

Me, Maya dancing with a stranger not just dancing grinding.

I pulled away slightly still staring towards him he opened his eyes fully and my breath caught, they were the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen. His grey eyes stared intensely at me while a smirk played on his lips. His lips were full and plump. His brown hair fell on to his eyes I wanted to brush it away, but restrained myself.

He was beautiful from what I could tell my body aching to enter his arms. I took a few more steps backwards to place a safe distance for these thoughts which raged out of control as I saw the jeans which fit him in all the right places and an obvious bulge he made no effort to hide. Paired with a simple plain shirt, I could make out his muscles, he had a tall broad figure.

His jaw was sculpted so fine. I sighed without realising, why did people like this exist. It should be a sin. Because all the things I wanted to do with him were very sinful indeed. I blushed at my thoughts. What was I doing , this wasn't me .

"Ash,no don't do this" another man came and pulled at his arm I couldn't make out his face.

 I quickly mumbled an apology and turned around quickly speed walking out of the club, bumping into the intoxicated people, maybe tonight wasn't a great idea.

I walked aimlessly deep in thought of what I was doing with myself and my life. When suddenly felt a wave of dizziness overcoming me. I crashed to the floor my limbs seemed heavy and I couldn't move easily.

"Darling need any help there" It was a sickening voice almost as he was mocking me for my stupidity.

I turned my head and another wave of dizziness erupted. I winced and managed to say "No I'm fine just a little tired" I clenched my teeth as I concentrated on getting up.

I knew that was nowhere believable I was no actor let's just get that clear. I was never good at hiding my emotions, if my emotions were a fire and they would have burned forests down to ash.

That's when realization had hit me, damn he was the same man from the club the one that handed me a drink.

He slowly stalked towards my limp body and held the sides of my arms holding me up. Everything fell into to place, how could I be so stupid.

"I'm sure you are" A sickening smirk decorated his face. Fear quickly invited it's way into my eyes. I thrashed with the energy I had "Let me go, get off me!"

A grunt left his mouth as he threw me towards the brick wall, my head hit the bricks as pain erupted through my body.

~~~~~~~~

I lay on the floor struck with fear he made his way over to me and stroked my cheek "Say anything else you'll be in worse pain, beautiful." Disgust filled me at him, at this world, at his touch.

He started unzipping his jeans and slowly making his way towards me, just as his hand was placed on to my bare thigh I closed my eyes. No. I gathered the energy I had left and screamed for help the loudest I could. His hand slapped me once again, making my vision blurry.

As I was losing conscious. The man's body was lifted into the air, from my blurred vision I could make out him being strangled, and the next thing I heard was a sickening crack. I gasped. Slowly darkness was invading my sight my body felt relief.

A warm hand caressed my cheek, but it was different, a feeling of comfort rippled through me not disgust.

And before I let the darkness take over I heard a soft whisper

"You're safe now... My love you're safe" It felt as he was speaking through guilt, what for though I didn't know.
