Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.

Anthony's POV

He stood in front of me, looking down at my face. His lips stayed firmly shut. We looked at each other for what felt like forever. His eyes barely moved from mine. The silence was ringing in my ears. I had to say something to him. To prove to him I was a good person, that I wanted to protect Rain with all my heart.

"Joe..." I said. It came out quieter than I had expected, almost a whisper. I swallowed hard.

"Don't speak.." He said, his hands were starting to tremble.

He stepped closer to me, inches away from my face. I could feel his breaths on my cheek. We made brief eye contact, before he lifted his hands up to my face. He placed them on my cheeks, his fingers tracing my jaw bones and gently stoking my lips. He came closer, our noses were touching now.

I hadn't had anyone touch me this way since Danny died. But Joe was something so different to Danny. Danny was like a shut door, always angry at me and always trying to pretend that he didn't love me. Danny was afraid of me. Where as I, was afraid of Joe.

His lips pressed against mine, his hand supporting my head like I was a child. He stroked his hand down my back, making me shiver. I pushed my hips towards him, forcefully kissing him. His lips moved firmly against mine, and he took my lower lip and held between his teeth for a few moments. My eyes were shut and I felt his hand fall lower, touching my waist band on my boxers.

He put pushed me back onto the bed, taking his strong hands and putting them on my chest. He scratched down my ribs, touching my hip bones and kissing them. I moaned slightly, exhaling through my teeth and wanting to him to touch me lower. I put my hand on his head, stroking his hair and touching his cheek. He didn't notice me. He treated me like an object, only moving and touching me to please himself. He put his hand over my crotch and stroked me.

He sighed and stopped. Silence fell between us both for a few seconds. I was desperate for him to carry on.

"Why stop?" I shuddered as he stood up, removing his other hand from underneath my shirt.

He turned his back to me, saying nothing, and went out of the door. I was left alone on the bed, confused and unfinished. I looked down at myself, feeling almost abused by him. I craved him though. I wanted him to come back and take control of my body again.

"Joe?" I called his name. No answer. He had taken a left from his door and gone down the stairs back towards the reception. I tucked my shirt back into my jeans and stood up from the bed. Watching my reflection in the window, I headed towards the door. I was almost embarrassed that I had let him take over me like that.

I headed straight for the car. I didn't bother to say goodbye to Rain. I shouldn't have been here today. If only I had stayed at home. I wouldn't have this confusion. I just had a sexual encounter with Rain's brother. God, I sound so heartless. How could I let this happen?
