134 Its either me or Ramsey … Lyla My heart thudded painfully in my chest as I tried to keep my eyes on him in the dark room .

He sauntered to me and flicked his finger causing light to sprout from the tips , illuminating his face and the room to a little extent .

He looked different much more mature than four years ago .

The boyish features that gave him the vibe of a high school kid that I remembered , were all gone and were now replaced by sharp , chiselled edges that spoke of a man who had embraced his power .

His body had changed too .

He stood before me , bulkier and muscular , he seemed even taller now , towering above me , almost taller than Ramsey by several inches but that wasnt the problem … he was naked .

Not bare skin kind of naked but he had on a pair of jeans that moulded into his skin , accentuating his long , curved legs and his smooth , firm torso and a singlet that clung to his arbs .

My eyes travelled the length of his body , appreciating his manliness when they met with his eyes , there was a cocky grin on his face .

Lyla … my honeybee … we meet again .

Sorry , for the rude welcome .

You were so flustered that I had to put you to sleep immediately but I hope you dont mind ? Seriously ? My lips curled in disdain as I crossed my arms over my chest .

What kind of a Monster parade around naked , flexing like some human gym enthusiast ? I couldnt hide the malice in my voice as I demanded .

And whats with all this muscle gain ? Are you compensating for something ? Youre the Dark One … you should be clad in some traditional , animal skin or something not dressed like a human version of seduction ? Are you implying that you find me seductive ? he arched a brow at me , his eyes twinkling with amusement .

If I find all of this … I swept my hand over his form Seductive , then Ill be spending every with every single human male that has hit on me .

hour He laughed producing a sound that was both charming and unsettling .

Ah , Lyla … always so quick with the comebacks .

Maybe thats one of the reasons I missed having you around .

He spread his arms , doing a little spin to showcase himself .

Do you like what you see , please tell me ? I rolled my eyes .

Ive seen better and stop talking like that … you sound human .

When did you .

stop using honorifics and sounding ancient ? It fits you better .

The female humans I met didnt like it , so I had to brush myself up a little .

Its not easy existing for so long , he sighed .

Anyways , I fell in love with the gym , he continued flexing his biceps exaggeratedly and running his hand over his muscled chest .

This generation of humans is so fascinating and will die for looks .

When I learnt they have these incredible buildings dedicated to changing ones body , I figured I might as well enjoy it to the fullest .

Enjoy it ? I scoffed .

By strutting around like a peacock and skinny jeans is so out of fashion .

Grow up ! 134 its either me of Ramsey … His laughter deepened as he closed the distance between us , his eyes glinting coldly .
