Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (ebook offline txt) 📗

jeans together with a black full sleeves tank top. Taking the jacket out from my closet, I came out of my room as I needed to eat something too. As there was no one to make the dinner for me anymore, I needed to feed myself with whatever I get in hand.

After filling my empty stomach with some instant noodles, I decided to call Kaith to know if he is coming home tonight or not, so that I can decide what I should tell him about my absence at the middle of the night.

Without delaying further I dialled his number quickly.

I looked at the time, and it was almost eleven-thirty.

“Hey! Where are you?” Kaith asked from the other end of the call, as soon as he picked up.

“I am at home. What about you?” I asked, even though I knew where he could be.

“I am going to get Jenny back from her work. Why?” He enquired, causing me to think once again if I should tell him or not.

“I wanted to know if you are coming tonight or not?” I decided to play safe for the time being.

“I don't think I could come tonight. I will drop Jenny at her place and then I have to go straight back to the packhouse. Cause if I don't go back home tonight, mom will kick me out for sure. She had already warned me last night.” Kaith's reply made me relieved a bit at last.

“Okay fine. See you tomorrow then.” I hung up without giving him much time to counter me back with his own queries, for which I didn't have any answers for now.

So, it was time I guess.

With a deep sigh, I put on my boots and took the jacket along with me before going out for the very destination where someone might be waiting for me.

The time which I wanted to never come, knocked on my door very soon, as it was already time to face my yet unknown mate.

I shivered with the realisation that what new I might get to know tonight. In how many new ways my heart was going to shatter over again.

I didn't know.

As the thoughts were not at all helping me except entangling my mind into even more complex knots, I got on the bike without much delay to make its wheels run on the dark night streets without any expectations.

Even though I took the long roads intentionally, it seemed like the whole universe had conspired against me to take me to the one and only destination where I supposed to be.

So, once again, I ended up standing at one of the ends of the darkest alley. Even though I parked my bike aside a few minutes ago, I kept lacking my courage to go in, cause the most familiar and captivating smell had already found its way to me even before I could engulf myself into the darkness.

He came.

The smell did get to me with a certain declaration that my mate was already there inside the dark and was waiting for me, I didn't know for how long.

And it was my turn to go to him.

Even though I was scared, I started to walk inside the alley after taking a long breath in, thinking that I was trapped already, and it was of no use to run away from my unfortunate destiny.

As I kept enclosing the distance in the dark, the smell was getting even stronger with my every step until I felt the same sturdy hands. With his slightest touch, sparks started to invade my entire body only to make me fall right into the source of all my temptations, because without giving me any time to recollect myself, mate pulled me into his hard chest.

He pulled me into a tight hug as he buried his face on the crook of my neck to take in my scent as much as possible, as if his life depended on it. My condition was no better.

While I was lost into my mates embrace without worrying about all those things which kept bothering me since today morning, his deep voice fell on my ears with his warm breath which brushed against my skin, giving me even more tingles.

“I want to tell you so many things, which I couldn't last night. And you need to listen to it carefully before you start to make your own assumptions about me. I know that you don't want to know who I am actually, for your own reasons, which I won't ask ever, until you decide to tell me yourself.

But I want you to know me. I want you to know how I feel.” Mate paused for a while, as his hands had already started to roam on my back desperately while his face was still buried on the curve of my neck. He was clumsy with his moves yet he was gentle, at least for now.

The next moment absolutely made me stunned at my spot because his lips had already started his sweet torture in no time, as he removed my jacket aside a little bit and went busy with his kissing and nipping on my skin which would definitely leave marks on my neck.

I froze.

An unfamiliar pleasure started to spread out inside me at the same time when I wanted to run far away from his reach.

“I...I don't know how to woo a girl, cause I have never been with anyone before. I never felt the need to be with someone who was not my mate. I always wanted to give all of me to my mate only. To you. And... I want to do everything with no one but you.” Even though his deep voice was not at all for the romantic talks, still his each and every word was reaching my already desperate heart.
