Chapter 69

Angela’s POV

The following morning, I still couldn’t get over the fact that Darius knelt in front of me and declared he was mine and mine only forever. I couldn’t stop crying until he k*ssed my tears away. The moment we had was intimate and beautiful. He held me in his arms and we made love over and over again.

Marking him never occurred to me and when it did, it was Darius who mentioned it but I panicked. I didn’t have it in me to somehow mark him. I sure didn’t hate or loathe him anymore but I couldn’t because I was clueless as to how. We decided to do it when I was ready.

I stared at his sleepy, handsome face and noticed the tiny freckles close to his nose. I’d never seen that before or maybe I just was never that close to him to notice it. His eyes were lightly shut. He was sleeping so peacefully and it was beautiful to watch. I didn’t plan on waking up before him but I was grateful I did. It gave me the opportunity to stare at him and take in all of his good looks.

“You’ll bore a hole in my face,” he grabbed me and pulled me closer to his body.

“I wasn’t staring,” I lied. The red spot on my ch*ek didn’t support my claims though. I was blushing like a child.

“I’ll take you for your words, My Angel. You can take a picture though, it’ll last longer,”

I whined. “I don’t need a picture. You’re right here with me and I know you’ll always be here,” I declared.

He opened his beautiful eyes. Those eyes kept me captivated.

“Always here with you, baby. No one will dare take you away from me,” He brought his lips closer to mine and I slapped my hand against his mouth.

“Morning breath,” I complained.

He removed my hand from his mouth and stared at me deeply, making me hold my breath. I don’t know how he does it but with one stare from that man, I become weak.

“If you think that your morning breath can stop me from k*ssing you, then you don’t know just how much I love you,”

I still wasn’t used to Darius‘ love declaration. It made my heart beat fast against my ribcage. It excited me and scared me at the same time.
