《The Mistake》Chapter Five
Advertisement
Arriving at his private escape home deep in the woods four hours away from Seattle, he pulls up the gravel drive. The house is surrounded by trees with a single gravel road that leads to the house. It overlooks a small river with a waterfall. The lawn surrounding the house is a massive one with a great oak tree hovering over the side of the river with a single wooden plank swing hanging from it.
Getting out of the car, Jonah immediately open the door to Mindy. Checking to see if she was breathing, he too breathe a sigh of relief when she was. He scoops her little body under his arms and carry her into the house. He heads up the stairs placing her on the queen size bed in the room right next to his. Quickly leaving into the bathroom right across from the room, he grabbed the first aid kit with a bowl of water and towel and returns to the room.
Carefully addressing the cut on the side of her forehead, he pushed back the hair on her face. "Even in this state, you can't deny her beauty," he said admiring her face. Unconsciously, Jonah took his hand to Mindy's face and ever so lightly touch her full rosy lips. Realization hits him only after she stirred in her sleep. He clinched his fist angry at himself that he allow this chick to have this kind of effect on him. Pissed off, he half ass put a band aid to her head and storm out of the room.

"Ugh, my head is pounding," Mindy moan as she tries to pull herself up but fails horribly, "what happen?" Abruptly she recalls the events that took place before her passing out. Fear swiftly found its way to her. "The man hovering over me? It must have been that dream again, right?" she wanting so badly to believe her thoughts. Mindy turns her head to the side to see her luggage there and relief wash over her. "It was just a dream, I'm still in my room. But why does my head and body ache all over?" Using the little strength that she has left, she pulls herself up into a sitting position and fully adjust her eyes.
To her dismay, she was in a whole another room that she didn't recognized. Realizing that what had happened wasn't a dream after all, she quickly push herself off the bed only to stumble over from dizziness. Expecting a harsh impact with the ground, Mindy closes her eyes only to feel a strong pair of arms catching her fall. Fluttering her eyes open, she looks up to her savior. A pair of familiar eyes stared right back at her. Mindy's eye widen in shock, recognizing who this man was. Her first thought of action was to ask him for help.

"It..it's you," she stuttered, "Can you help me? I think I was kidnap here." Jonah didn't reply, only stared back at her. "Please, I don't know where I am," she pleaded with him scanning the room. Again no reply. She directs her attention back to the man still holding her in his arms, and stared at his eyes. She saw his cold eyes burn holes through her. They were different from the ones she saw at the beach a week ago. The man in front of her looked at her with murderous eyes and just at the corner of his lips form a smirk.
The familiar situation brings her mind back to the taxi driver. Thinking back to the voice she heard from the taxi driver when she kicked him and the voice at the beach, she finally put two and two together, they were one. "It's him!" Mindy thought terrified. Gasping at reality, her eyes widen even more, she felt any minute now they can pop out. Jonah knew that she has finally figured it out. His smirk turning into a full blown smile.
Mindy now aware that the man holding her is her captor, she quickly pulls from him landing herself on the floor. "Ah!" she screeched. "Easy there princess," Jonah calmly says bending down to grab her. "Don't touch me!" she yells hitting his hand away. "Feisty little one we've got here," he steps towards her as she scramble to get away on the floor. He snatch her off the ground and brings her to face him. Both of their faces so close, they can feel each other's breath on their skin.
"Wh..what do you want from me?" she questions him hoping she came off confident. Fear was the only thing that she felt right now. "That's not what you should be worrying about right now. You should be more worry as what I'm going to do to you," he replies with the same smirk on his face. A smirk that can bring hundreds of females to their knees.
"Why?" Mindy timidly ask coming out almost as a whisper. Jonah suddenly thinking of his mother, turns and toss Mindy on the bed, "Shut up! And just stay there! A rush a pain flew straight to her head as she fell onto the bed. She was piss now. What she had done to deserve this, she did not know, but she sure as hell is not going to sit here and take all of this. Angry she turns around and snaps, "I don't know who you are and what you want, but I will not sit here and allow you to do and get away with this!"

She was frighten but way more angry. Liquid pour down her face and she quickly moves the back of her hand to wipe it thinking it was her tears from all the emotion fuming inside her. She didn't want to show any weakness in front of this man. But when she looked at her hand it was stained red. "It's blood," she whispered to herself confused not knowing that her head a taken a cut from her fall earlier.
Jonah sighs irritated, "You troublesome girl. Wait here." He walks out of the room to once again go grab the first aid kit. "As if!" Mindy knew this was her chance to get away so forcing herself off the bed she stumbles her way to the door.
Walking out she is met with a long hall way. "GREAT!" Not knowing which direction to go, she randomly chose right and with the walls support, scurried her way down. Not even ten seconds into her escape Jonah's voice boom behind her. "Where do you think you are going Princess?" "Away from you!" she hiss without looking back breaking out in an attempted dash. "Damn body and head!" she cursed at herself for not cooperating.
She turns at a corner just to be disappointed. "A dead end." Quickly turning around the corner again, she smash right into Jonah who was just about to round the corner. She hits into him hard and they both go tumbling to the floor. His arms instinctively wrapped around her waist pulling her to him causing her to land on top of him.
Shocked, Mindy found herself staring into his ocean blue eyes silently. "He has such beautiful eyes," she thought. For a second she saw a gentleness in them. "Why is my heart beating faster?"
"Like what you see?" Jonah teased her. He was trying his best to control the aching growing sensation within him with this beautiful girl straddling him.
Snapping out of her outrageous thoughts, Mindy pushes away from him. Jonah on the other hand, grips her waist tighter. He had no intention of letting her go anytime soon. He was enjoying this position too much.
Both of her arms pin to his chest, she punches at his chest ignoring the ever so hard body made of muscle underneath. "Let go of me you jerk!" "Hahaha," he chuckles, "why? I'm quite enjoying this position." He licks his lips teasing her some more.
"Ughhh! You...you...sick OGRE!" she hiss at him. "Yeah great one there" Mindy silently curse herself blaming it on how delicious his lips look right now. She attempts to get up again but this time Jonah grabs hold of the back of her shoulders pushing her back down. Mindy's arm slips to the ground to each side of him pressing their bodies more and their faces just inches apart from each other.
The natural waves on Mindy's head falls to the side of her face giving Jonah the pleasure to smell her sweet scent exciting his insides even more. He stares at her lips wanting so badly to just taste it once. Mindy sees the hunger in his eyes staring at her lips. Frighten and shy at the same time, she turns her face away from him trying to control her breathing.
Jonah chuckles at her. "How long do you plan to stay on top of me?" Mindy was so nervous from his piercing eyes that she hadn't realize that he had long let go of her body. She rolls herself off of him still trying to calm her beating heart.
He gets up quickly and pulls her to her feet. Before she can even say anything, he remarks "Don't even start or try to run. Or else I will chain you up and throw you in the river outside. Although the river was only about three and a half feet deep, Jonah decided she didn't need to know that.
Mindy immediately shuts her mouth. Hit with a wave of exhaustion from all the events that took place recently, she decides to cooperate for now until she can regain her strength to fight back. Jonah grabs hold of her arm to lead her back to the room. "I can walk by myself," she releases her arm out of his grasp. She slowly starts walking once again using the wall for support. Jonah stands there for a second admiring her willpower. Smiling to himself he went right behind her and before she knows it, she is swept off the ground into his strong arms.
"Hey!" Mindy was surprised.
"It'll be night time before you reach the room," he says back to her.
And so he carries her back to the bedroom.
