Love Grows In The Dark by Eli Lowe (read books for money TXT) 📕

“What?” I was way beyond shocked. Though I should have guessed, I indeed failed to do so, due to my recently messed up mind.

“Yes. That was what I was trying to tell you the whole time, only if you were calm enough to listen. Now give me my clothes. Would you? Or you want me to stay naked in front all of you?” As soon as he retorted back, I threw the bag towards him only to crash it right into his face.

“Oops!!!..” I pretended to be unintended for what I had just done.

“Seriously?” After throwing a lot of daggers at me with his sharp eyes, Kaith picked up the bag and rushed into a room, to do whatever he needed to do.

And I was left to confront another culprit of tonight. Yes, Jenny.

I can't believe it was the same girl who had just screamed at me to save his mate and look at her now. She was standing ever so quietly while looking at nowhere but to the floor as if something precious was lost there.

I sighed.

“So, would you care to give me some details?” I asked but with a polite tone because I was not angry anymore and also because I had realized that it was really me who misunderstood the whole situation.

But only because I was not aware of the truth.

Anyway, I approached Jenny to give her a tight hug to show that I was happy for them.

“You know, I always wanted you two to become mates. But never did I imagine that I would have to create such a drama only because somebody didn't care to inform me before.” And just when I had finished my words, the other one had to interrupt.

“As if you give others a chance to explain.” Kaith barged in from behind and I guess it was time for me to receive my part of yelling from him.

Tsk.

What to do?

It was my mistake too.

So, I did listen to all those nonsense that he had to come up with only to win our argument.

“Have you done scolding me? Then could anyone of you two tell me how did you guys find each other?” As I was becoming more and more impatient with each passing time, I voiced my curiosity, for being reluctant to lose any more second further.

And then Kaith started with the actual thing which I wanted to know eagerly.

I came back home late at that night only to remember whatever happened to all of us, realising that tomorrow won't be the same as before.

I was indeed happy for my two best friends but I couldn't gather enough courage to tell that I had found my mate as well. I couldn't confess what I did only to save my heart from being broken.

Maybe I will tell them sometime later but not now. I wasn't prepared to tell, when I was not even ready to believe it myself.

Lying on my cold bed in the darkroom my mind rushed back to remember the moment which I had left behind in the darkest alley.

Maybe I did the unjust.

***flashback****

Standing in the dark with my trembling body and a fragile heart, I gathered enough courage to ask for his promise while letting my body feel all the captivating and sensational tingles that my mate was bestowing me unconsciously.

“You know I would give you anything and everything you ask as long as you stay with me. One thing that I will never afford to give you is the permission of being apart. And get that in your head very clearly, I will never ever let you go, no matter what. Do you get that?” His deep voice brushed against my ear ensuring the fact that all the ways for me to get away from the very reason of the vulnerable state of my heart, were closed and I was left with only one option that I had planned to ask already.

“ I... I am not asking you to reject me, instead, I want a promise which I want you to keep for me. Will you do that?” Though my voice shook, assuming the next possible reaction from him, I was determined to make my last hope a reality for us.

“Anything. I promise.” His head was still buried on the crook of my neck but one of his hands moved to trail down on my waist and engulfed me into his warmth even more. His hand seemed a bit rough and sturdy around my body but still, I could feel his need as he kept on holding me in a way like his life depended on me.

“Are you sure? You can't say no after.” I wanted to give him another chance to think before letting him fall along with me into the deep dark pit.

“Yes.” He seemed determined as he proved his answers with a kiss that he had just planted on my neck very carefully. Millions of sparks travelled all over my body just when I felt the very first kiss and.. and the feeling was something which would definitely entice me to want more and more.

So, even before I start to give in to such temptation of his kisses, I said out loud,

“Then promise me we would stay unknown. Promise me you will never ask to see who I am actually and neither will I ask you the same. I want to love you without knowing your face and I want the same from you. I want to love not for who you are from outside but for who you are actually from inside.”
