Will I get there first?
There's a Light Up Ahead
by fionageorge
My stomach scrapes the ground as I crawl under the fence. Storm clouds shroud the moon, and cold wind whips hair into my face.
Ahead, I see a cottage, its light a welcome sight.
I must get there before he catches me.
As I pull myself up, a cold hand touches my neck. I scream.
“Did you really think you’d get away?” he whispers.
I can't talk.
Can I run for it? Am I fit enough? Or should I give in?
“I’ll be a sport. I’ll give you a head start. But, if I catch you … “
He’s playing with me.
I sprint towards the cottage.
I’m almost there. My heart pounds; my legs ache. I’m out of breath.
He grabs my collar. I shake him off.
Keep going!
His hand tugs at my arm. I pull free again.
“You’re not getting away,” he growls.
I reach the steps and bolt towards the door. He jumps up, creating a shadow on the landing.
“Okay, you win,” I whisper, “your choice of position tonight.”
His kiss lingers on my lips and I melt as he carries me into our honeymoon cottage.
I do enjoy our little games.
