Forbidden Temptation
So as I mentioned in a previous post I've joined a fanfic challenge community (
fanfic50). Below the cut you'll see my first prompt. It's an unlikely pairing but one that intrigued me around the time of the Nik/Robin/Emily/Patrick/Craig storyline.
I hope you enjoy :)
Title: Forbidden Temptation
Fandom: General Hospital
Characters: Anna Devane & James Craid
Prompt: 13 - Temptation
Word Count: 569
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Anna struggles with temptation
Disclaimer: I do not own GH or its characters
She lay sprawled amongst the piles of tangled sheets and blankets haphazardly thrown from their proper place in the heat of passion. Her auburn hair spread across the crisp white cotton of the pillowcase below her head, no longer mussed and tangled from the countless times he had ran his fingers through.
Tossing and turning for what felt like hours the petit brunette was unable to wrap her mind around the chaos and heartache their ruse had created, and ultimately would continue to create for some time to come. She knew she would never be forgiven this trespass, as she ran her tiny fingers across her face all she could hope was that in letting one go the other would fill the holes in her heart.
He forced us to do this
The sounds of her voice, so broken, so scared rattled through her brain every second of every day. Even in sleep she could not escape the haunting reality of the tenuous situation she was faced with. Yet, here she was still powerless against what was happening. She was still lying in bed, unclothed, next to a man that was not the man she should be with. A man that at the core of the matter would destroy the already precarious relationship she had worked for so long to form.
He threatened the people we love
How could she do it? How could she betray the one person in the world she truly loved? What was not yet destroyed by her actions would undeniably be destroyed by this. One foolish act, one moment of weakness with the power to inflict such pain and suffering for the person she held most dear.
He is evil, a truly sadistic man with no heart or emotion
Shifting position she felt the sheets glide across her bare skin to land precariously around her body. Her back exposed to the man lying next to her she felt him stir. Attempting to stave off awakening him from slumber she stilled her movements.
I can’t do this alone anymore, I need you
After months of lying and betrayal, of acquiescing to the whims of a madman, of plotting and planning to save what was left of two dying relationships she gave in to the overwhelming temptation, she ended up here. An even more untenable situation that when made public would further strain the fragile bonds between those she was desperately trying to save.
Help me, save me, save us
As hard as she tried, she was unable to push away the soft voice she longed to hear as it kept echoing in her ears as earlier in the evening she felt skin on skin, the dampness of sweat-covered appendages, the searching caress of tongues. Playing over and over in her mind she heard the desperate pleas and frantic cries as she continued forward with the ultimate act of betrayal, the choice she made to be with one over the other, the choice to test everyone’s character and happiness.
He will ruin us all in the end
Hearing the man next to her stir nearby she felt him reach out for her, calling her name lightly under his breath, “Anna”
Drawn to his voice, enveloped into his body like a moth to a flame she was powerless to fight it, to fight him - the man who had ruined his daughter’s life.
“James”
