Chapter 37

ANGELA

“What?” I blinked. For a second, I thought I was imagining Darius right there in front of me but when he didn’t disappear after I blinked, I realized he was standing outside my door. It was a few minutes past twelve. I couldn’t sleep because I was too mad to close my eyes for a minute without thinking of possible ways to not kill Darius.

One day, I’m cuddled in his arms, the next day. I want to kill him. My feelings weren’t static, they were rather different with each day and the worst part was I had to remind myself every time that I hated him. I hate that! It was exhausting but I had to do it.

“Will you promise to always come back to me. Nibbles?” he placed his finger under my chin. He lifted my head a little and brought his face closer.

“Are you drunk?” I muttered.

He smirked. “Can I come in?” He leaned closer to the doorframe The light in the hallway found its way to Darius’ face. He was shining, illuminating, and stunning. What was different about him tonight that made him so palatable? The spot between my legs throbbed and I’m reminded of how he took me in his study. I wanted more of that, my body yearned for his touch and something more. Would it be a sin if I succumbed to the desires of my flesh?

Can a girl eat from the forbidden fruit without ending up hating on herself?

“Do you want me to come in?” He asked again. This time his eyes pierced mine as if he would be able to get the answer through my eyes before my lips gave him the answer he sought

“No!” I lied. It would be better if he left me alone at this minute. Because I can’t promise not to jump him the next minute.

He grinned widely as his eyes slowly went down my body, stopping for a second on my breast while he took a deep breath. I was wearing a white sheer sleepwear that was rather revealing. I hadn’t even thought of that until he did that. When I thought that was all, his eyes landed on my feet and he started back at me.

That was when I became self-conscious. I was st*pidly tapping away at my feet again.

Not again, Angela.

“I don’t care what your feet say, I care more about what your heart and mouth say. Do you want me to come in?”

He asked again. The sincerity didn’t leave his eyes. He looked intoxicated rather than drunk.
