SISTER'S IN INK (BOOK ONE)

•••••••••

Phoenix

We have been back for a week now, my father blamed himself that he wasn't around much and I knew Anastasia was fighting more but what I wanted to do was sleep and I couldn't. I was having nightmares of being taken even though I wasn't hurt physically I was scared that I was still being watched or I was about to be taken again. It was midnight when I was walking next door to Tristan's house, knocking on his front door it took only a few minutes before he opened the door. "Phoenix why aren't you asleep?" He asks me I wrapped my arms around me he sighed nodding his head understanding "come on" he says moving to let me in.

"We're you asleep?" I asked once inside his warm house.

"No I was just watching some tv, do you want something to drink?" He asks but I shake my head no, taking a seat on the couch he walks over to sit next to me. "Want to talk about it?" He asks me after a few minutes of silence.

When I looked at him he had one arm over the couch leaning back and looking at me, I was nibbling on my lip playing with my fingers but I shake my head no. I knew I had to bet over it I had to take my mind off of it, so when I looked at Tristan again all I kept thinking about was the timein the storage room at the pub. Memories of his hands touching my skin made me feel hot, feeling his lips... I needed to cool down fast. I quickly got up and got myself a glass of water and even that wasn't working.

"Are you alright?" He asked me when I looked over my shoulder to see him leaning against the wall.

"Ah.. yeah.." I sighed placing my glass in the sink I went to walk pass him but he grabs my arm pulling me back. My breathing became rapid as I looking up at him, I guess he could feel it because the next thing I knew I was being pushed up against the wall with his lips against mine. His hands moved slowly down from my waist to the back of my thighs as he lifts me up I wrapped my legs around his waist. Biting my lower lip as my head falls back eyes closed as his lips moved down my neck and against my throat. "I don't think I can keep holding back Phoenix..." he mumbles against my neck. I pulled on his hair a little for him to look at me.

"Then don't... take me to bed" I tell him giving him a nod.

I felt the warmth of the sun shining onto the bed through the open blinds, wrapped in the black sheet that was lying over us I couldn't help but feel relaxed. I had been able to sleep without no nightmares. I felt Tristan slowly run his fingertips over my bare shoulder pushing away my hair from my neck, he lightly kissed my skin. "Baby you need to wake up" he says but I hummed "its lunch time and your sister has already been looking for you."

I sat up holding the sheet to my body "What did you tell her?"

"That you went for a run" I shrugged his shoulder "I didn't know if you wanted to tell her or not yet.." I nodded my head understanding.

"Yeah ok, shit I should get back"

"Or you could stay here for a bit longer" he smirks leaning in to kiss me making my eyes flatter close.

Before I knew it I was being questioned by my sister when I walked through the door at 4 in the afternoon wondering where I had been all day long. My excuse was a very long run... I don't think she believed me but I was hoping for the best. But all she could do was glare at me with her arms folded across her chest.
As I laid in bed that night I couldn't help but think of what happened, it was so wrong but felt so right. We agreed to keep it a secret till I told Alison I didn't want to leave her in the dark but I just didn't know how to tell her...

This was going to get messy...
