ALEX REED: [PINNED]: sender pins receiver against a wall // or reverse... perhaps...
she knows and he knows she knows. jordan's noticed the look in her eye when alex glances at him. it's sad in a way -- he thought that he had her lulled into a false sense of security. after all, how could he do something as horrific as the acts he's done in his past? he sees the prey animal in her face, rabbit staring down the vicious wolf. here's the thing: he's realized that he doesn't want to hurt her anymore. that still doesn't mean he wants to let her spill his secrets. some woman isn't going to be his undoing.
it's why he has alex pinned to the wall of her living room, his hands rough on her shoulders. despite that, his face is stoic, and his eyes fixate on her face like he's waiting for any change in her expression. " alex. " it's hard, finite. " i don't wanna hurt you. i just don't want you to run from me. okay? we're friends, right? " a hand draws upward, his fingers light on the skin of her neck as his thumb rubs against her jawline. " just don't do anything stupid and we'll be just fine. that should be easy for you, hm? we both know you aren't a stupid girl. just relax, alex. you'll be just fine. " @tiedstill
