I pulled away from Clayton, eyes wide. John stood over us, seething in anger. I fell onto my back, scrambling away from John. Curse my luck, he had awoken. I swear I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears.
Clayton sat slightly confused, not sure whether to be furious, shocked, or
happy. I easily knew my emotion: scared. And scared I was. The fear coursed
through my body, paralyzing me in my spot. I couldn’t move, could barely breathe.
“I said, what the fuck are you doing to him?” John growled, his voice
dangerously low. I didn’t move. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to react. If I told
him, he’d kill me but if I didn’t tell him, he’d kill me anyways.
Either way I died.

“It wasn’t bad!”
“What the hell did you want to know that involved her attacking you with
her mouth?”
“I asked what a kiss was!” Clayton snapped.
It grew deadly quite. If I thought John was pissed before, I could barely
comprehend how mad he was right now. He shoved Clayton backwards.
Clayton fell on the ground, groaning in pain.
“You WHAT?!” John roared. I flinched at the loudness.
