Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 243: I Want You to Be Mine

She had seen Jason's jealous girlfriend earlier, which reassured her that Jason harbored no intentions towards her. Julian gently embraced her. "Are you that afraid that I'll get jealous?"

"It's not that," Aurora replied, nestled calmly in his arms, a faint smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "I'm just afraid you might overthink things."

"Don't you think such love is a burden to you?" Julian knew his nature was domineering; he was a tyrant in the presence of others. Although he tried to restrain himself around Aurora, he still worried that she might grow tired of him.

Aurora shook her head lightly. "No, because I understand you as you do me. This relationship hasn't come easily to us; we cherish it more than anyone else could. The more you care for me, the more I can't bear the thought of losing you. I feel the same unease when I see Lindsay by your side. Perhaps I'm being selfish, but I must say, I never want anyone else to have you. I want you to be mine."

This had always been Julian's role, to express such feelings, and it was the first time Aurora had taken the initiative to do so. The man behind her trembled slightly; he had always thought Aurora's acceptance was out of being moved, never realizing when her feelings for him had deepened.

"Little Bunny, are you serious? You feel uncomfortable too when other women are close to me?" Julian asked excitedly.

"Of course," Aurora confessed. "Seeing how close Lindsay was to you, knowing she was your fiancée-even though I seemed calm on the surface, inside, I was really anxious."

"Little Bunny, it's my fault. I should have told you sooner. Not telling you wasn't meant to hide it from you; it was because I've never truly acknowledged her," Julian murmured, nuzzling into Aurora's neck.

"I know," Aurora replied. "If you really cared for her, why would you go out of your way to provoke me? Julian, relax, I love you, I truly do, and I would never betray you. Go rest; dinner will be ready soon." Julian reluctantly let go of her.

Aurora began cooking skillfully while Julian handled some affairs in the living room. This quiet, peaceful feeling was exactly what they both deeply desired. Both had lost their happy families at a young age and had struggled to reach their current positions. Despite their vastly different personalities and similar experiences, it was hard for them to let go of each other now.
