Cale stood in the thick woods in complete darkness; his breathing was rapid and his hands were visible shaking as he eyed his destination. He had to do something tonight that he felt he was going to hell for. Yet, he didn't have a choice. He knew his intentions were good in the end, but he couldn't get past the fact he was about to do something he felt a man should never do.
A voice growled in the back of his head, forcing his legs to move as he approached the tiny houses front door.

Alora sat curled up against the side of the couch, her legs tucked beneath her. She was flipping through the channels mindlessly not knowing what to do on her first night of her parent free week.
She had her light brown hair that was streaked with natural blonde highlight in a bun on top of her head, but pulled it down in frustration as she continued to flip through some movie channels. Putting her hair up always gave her headaches, on account of the weight of it. Her hair hung halfway to her waist. She let out a groan of relief as soft beach-y waves fell onto her shoulders.
With a huff she stood up and dropped the remote to the couch. That same second a knock broke the silence in the house and she jumped in fright. She took a deep breath before she was able to make her way over to a window and peak out at her visitor.
Why was he here?
She padded bare foot down the tiny wood floored hallway and with one swift movement she unlocked and opened the door.
"Cale?" She asked unbelieving. Standing in front of her was her grade school crush, Cale Cesa. He had always been gorgeous, but now his body seemed to have finally caught up with his face. He stood easily at 6'2 with broad shoulders that dropped into a thin waist and that deep olive skin tone that she had always admired. "Did you parents send you here to check on me or something?" She smiled.
Cale and Alora's parents have been friends since high school. She was actually quite close with Cale at a point, but as he got older he never came with his parent over to her house anymore and his parent's stared making up excuses for his absences. In fact this was the first time she had seen him in years. Yet, he still had those piercing light blue eyes that always seemed to cut into her.
"Something like that." He stated not smiling back. Alora had always been beautiful, but she had seemed to finally blossom into a woman. Even in her rolled track pants and white tank top he could see it. He was going to hell.
"Well, I guess come in." She mumbled as he pushed past in her into her families two bedroom cottage.
She watched him walk away down the hallway with an eyebrow raised. What the hell did he want?
"How did you get here?" She asked finally, following him down the hallway.
"I walked." He answered plainly beginning to move about her house.
"But, you live five miles away." She objected following him.
"I needed my exercise for the day." He said continuing to eye around her house, his back to her.
"Are you going to tell me why your here anytime soon?" She asked stopping and walking back into the living room.
"I really wish I could tell you, but I'm not allowed." He mumbled a hint of venom in his voice as he followed her this time. "I'll just have to show you. " He caught her dark brown eyes in his gaze.
They just stood there eyes locked for several moments before Alora finally realized the danger she was in. She darted like a wild cat toward the front door. Even he didn't expect how quickly she moved.
She didn't know what he was going to do to her, but something deep inside her told her to run. That was all she had as she threw open the front door and sprinted into the darkness. He was big and she knew she wouldn't win fighting him. That was the only thought in her mind as she burst into the woods.
He chased after her at half speed, but he couldn't believe it as she ran directly into the woods. His turf. Yet, he was not the one to fear in those woods.
Alora weaved through the trees and trampled through the thick underbrush; directly into a naked Jason Jenla. She let out a startled scream as a large hand clamped down over her mouth. He spun her around easily and pinned her wrists with his other hand and he began pushing her back toward the direction of Cale.
Why the fuck was Jason naked in the woods beside her house?! She had actually been best friend with him in elementary school. Yet, he was no longer that tan skinned little boy. He was that tanned skin muscular man.
She screamed into his hand and squirmed in his tight grip, but she was going nowhere as they quickly approached Cale who was standing at the wood's edge solemn. It was dark, but even she could see the look of anguish on his beautiful face.
"Stop playing and just do it." Jason suddenly said breaking the silence throwing her into Cale. For a split second she found her fingers hooking into his shirt as if he was going to protect her.
"There has to be some other way." Cale whispered his fingers around her waist holding her to him.
"You know you don't have a choice. It was an order."
Cale growled lowly before he easily picked Alora up. She began trembling involuntarily as he took long stride back toward the house. "What are you going to do to me?" She asked in barely a whisper.
