Chapter 5 Rewards and Punishment

Sorry everyone I have been at college and I play soccer there so I haven't really had much time to write. Well I hope to be writing a little bit over the break!!!! Hope you enjoy!!!

I could feel the blood boiling in my veins. The heat was unbearable. I began to think to myself if taking the alternative would have been a better idea. I quickly shook myself awake and opened my eyes just wide enough to see.

There was a food tray at my feet. From the looks of it some bugs had already begun their dinner. I don't know how long I had been in the box, but something tells me not long at all.

I heard the sound of a car in the distance. "Oh thank God" I said as I tried to peek through a hole in the door. As the vehicle came closer, I could barely see the outline of two people in the front seat.

I backed away from the door as the lock on it was being pulled off. The door opened, and there was Erik in all his cocky little self, with of course Knauer standing right behind him.

Erik bent down to kneel in front of me, "So I hear that you have been a bad girl."

I glared at him.

"Well, if you tell me some information, I will ask the nice captain here to let you go."

I gazed over Erik's shoulder to see Knauer glaring and shaking his head.

"Well I do know that someone in this prison is plotting against you. Whatever your beef is with Crewe, let it go. He's not the one in charge." I closed my eyes and leaned my head back.

"What do you mean he's not plotting it? He has to be, he…" Erik looked away.

"Now that I told you some information, can I get the hell out of here?"

"Yea, Knauer grab her." He said as he got up and made his way to the car.

Knauer grabbed my arm and wrapped his other around my waist. "Quick thinking, but that was too much damn information." He whispered in my ear.

He carried me to the car and put me in back.

We were on our way back to the prison. "Erik?" I asked.

"What?" he replied.

"Can I shower in a secure location tonight?"

He looked back at me and smiled, "Why as a matter of fact yes you can. You can shower in my quarters."

"Woa, your shower? I don't think that is the smartest idea, I mean what would the other guards think if they knew that you were allowing a prisoner into your room?"

"Oh I don't think they would mind, you wouldn't mind if she did that would you Knauer?"

Knauer's hands had instantly tightened around the steering wheel and his knuckles were turning white.

"No, not at all warden. As a matter of fact I will escort her to your quarters and precisely 20 hundred hours tonight."

"That sound great Knauer." Erik said as he stepped out of the car.

My door opened and Knauer pulled me out.

I was pushed into my cell, "I will come get you in 30 minutes for dinner." Malloy said as he smiled and closed the door.

"Tonight is going to be very interesting." I said to myself.

"Yes it is."

I looked up to see Knauer, he opened the door and I quickly scurried backwards until I hit the wall.

He walked in and shut the door behind him. He stared at me for a few seconds before he made his way to me.

"That was a stupid thing you did earlier, asking the warden for protection. Ha! You really are trying to fuck me."

"What?"

"Ha ha, yea you keep angering me until one day when I completely ravish you." He smiled almost in reaching distance.

"Look Knauer nothing is going to happen between me Erik ok? I am just going to take a shower with a locked door and get the hell out of there."

He stopped right in front of me. His left arm wrapped around my waist and his right found its way to my face.

He pushed a few strands of hair behind my ear. "You better hope nothing happens." With that, his lips instantly take mine.

It wasn't a forceful kiss for the first time. He was actually being gentle.

He broke apart, "Oh, I cannot wait to have you."

The next thing I know the door is being closed. And I'm standing there in total shock.

I feel my hand rising and my fingers touching the very place Knauer kissed me. 'Oh shit, I really need protection.'
