Strings Attached (Harry Styles FanFiction)

5. You Need Me

Cassie's POV

My heart was racing, blood pounded in my ears as my anxiety peaked. It was getting too hot in the tight sports car. Small beads of sweat formed on the back of my neck and on my palms. Discretely, I tried to wipe them off onto my dress, tugging the hem down at the same time. I wished that he would take me back to the club, I never should have left with him. What the hell was I thinking?

 Gradually, I felt the car begin to slow and drift to the side.

"What? What are you doing?" I asked, my eyes growing wide as I twisted in my seat to look between him and the back window. The road was black in either direction, no lights anywhere. Shit. My pulse was racing, I held onto the door handle ready to throw it open. Tuck and roll, Cassie. Tuck and roll.

"Shhh," he chuckled, pulling on my chin. Right when I turned, his lips met mine. A charge so strong it stood my hair on end, raced through me. A terrified yelp escaped my lips. Run Cassie, run like hell. I pushed as hard as I could against his chest but his grip was too tight, trapping me. No longer under my control, my eyes fluttered closed as my mind was ensnared by the spell of his kiss. 

My flight response was overpowered by the increasing need to get closer to him. I fought the urge, balling my hands into fists, refusing to let them tangle in his hair.

“Angel,” His deep voice warned, before his lips pressed with more force against mine, tongue forcing its way into my mouth. I knew that I should pull away, that I should get out while there was still time, but I couldn’t. 

I knew that the second I tried to run he would catch me, I wouldn’t make it five feet. But most of all I knew that I didn’t want to. Fear and adrenaline coursed through my bloodstream, quickening my already racing pulse and stealing my breath away. 

His arms tangled around my body, skillfully lifting me and perching me in his lap. He moved my arms to wrap around his neck and immediately my fingers tangled in his curls, tugging on then. 

His raspy laugh sounded as he glanced to our touching chests. I could practically see my heart hammering right inside the delicate cage.

Sealing his lips to mine, he moaned into the kiss, crushing me further against his chest. A tremor ran up my body as one hot hand slid up the expanse of my bare thigh, coming to a stop just outside of the clingy fabric of my dress.

Breathless, I broke away, my stomach had been twisted and contorted into so many different knots it was all I could do to keep from doubling over. All I wanted was to get out of the car and forget that this had ever happened, but at the same time I thought I would die if we stopped. Something about him kept pulling me in, he had addicted me. I was petrified to think of what would happen if I didn't walk away now. He pulled me closer, his lips finding mine again. Gently I pressed one small palm against his chest, pushing back slightly - a request. An angry and frustrated groan vibrated in his chest, I cringed farther away. His mouth simply traveled down my neck, biting me softly, tiny pinpricks of pain as mesmerizing as the buzz of tattoo needles over fresh skin.

"No... we shouldn't....I-I mean.... I need to get b-back." I whispered, the sensation was bringing tears to my eyes. His probing lips explored their way down my neck to my collar bone. I gasped. Dammit, he was making this hard. 

"Please-," I tried again, my sentence forgotten as his hand slipped even farther up my thigh, fingertips grazing the edge of my hip. “Relax, Angel,” He purred, slipping his hand up father, I flinched as long finger brushed lace.

“N-No. Take me back.” I put as much force into the words as I could muster. Icy, green eyes glared at me, anger swirling like a blizzard in their depths. Slowly his touch retracted, nails digging into the tender flesh, ripping at it. I knew that they left small trails of blood in their wake. I strangled my cry, refusing to give him any further power over me.

"You're right." His voice was like steel, it cut me to the core. Timidly I crossed back over to my seat, before I had a chance to strap myself in, he slammed the car into drive and peeled out. My head knocked against the window, and I saw stars. My stomach churned, knowing that no amount of makeup would hide the bruise in the morning. I gritted my teeth, as anger washed through me. No. Im not fucking doing this again. No more bruises, no more broken bones. 

Glaring at the curl haired guy, I hissed, “You’re an ass.” He let out a gruff laugh, knuckles whitening as he clutched the steering wheel.

“You realize that I could report you, right? Press charges?”

“You wont,” There was a surety in his voice that robbed me of my own, “You left with me willingly.”

When I didn’t respond, he continued, “You need me.”

“You’re delusional.” Even as I spat the words I knew they were a lie.
