A Dark Love |Under Construction|

Chapter 32

After dinner, Levi and I offered to clean up while my mom got ready for bed. As we washed the dishes, Levi's playful side emerged, and he started splashing water at me, getting us both soaking wet. I couldn't help but laugh at his antics.

Once we finished, I turned off the kitchen light, and we headed to my room. As soon as I closed the bedroom door, I let out a yawn, feeling a bit tired. Levi, on the other hand, was just getting started. He began to strip off his clothes, revealing his gorgeous body.

As I stared at him, my face grew hot with embarrassment. He caught my eye and smiled, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "You want to take a shower together?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

I tried to play it cool, but my voice came out a bit shaky. "Uhhh... sure."

Levi walked into the bathroom, his naked body on full display. He stopped in front of the mirror, checking his face as if to make sure he was still looking good. I took a deep breath, removing my sweatshirt and slowly walking into the bathroom.

As I approached him, I noticed his tattoo - an intricate design featuring an arrow pointing up with an infinity symbol at the bottom and two arrows in the middle. "What does that tattoo mean?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me. "Deus has a symbol too, but his looks different than yours."

Levi gazed at his tattoo in the mirror, a thoughtful expression on his face. "This is my symbol, Leviathan. We all have tattoos of our creation symbols."

I wrapped my arms around him, placing my hands on his chest. He stared at me through the mirror, his eyes locked on mine. "Does it serve a purpose?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Levi's eyes never left mine as he replied, "No, not really. It only appears when we're in human form. I guess it's just there to mark us beasts."

He grasped my hand, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss. As he stared at me intently, I felt a flutter in my chest. I smiled back at him, my eyes filled with affection. The moment was tender and intimate, and I felt a deep connection to Levi in that instant.

I looked up at Levi, curiosity getting the better of me. "By the way Levi, what is it... that you like about Dietrich...?" I asked.

Levi's expression turned wistful, and he sighed lightly as he turned around to face me. He gripped both of my hands, his eyes locked on mine. "When a soul becomes a sex slave, they don't belong to just Deus - they belong to all of us," he explained. "So that's how I met him, and... I don't know, there was something about him that... felt like a breath of fresh air... he was sweet, kind, and fun to be around... I... just ended up falling in love with him..."

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. It was the same thing Deus had said about Dietrich. What was it about him that attracted them?

Levi pulled me into his arms, his gentle smile warming my heart. "And I'm so happy to have found you, Kota... You've made my heart feel whole again..."

I blushed lightly, feeling a flutter in my chest. Levi gave me a peck on the cheek, and I smiled up at him.

But then, he asked, "Say, you want to go out on a date tomorrow?"

I blinked several times, taken aback by the sudden invitation. "Sure, but... I need to stop by Mallory's tomorrow," I replied, my mind racing with thoughts of how I would explain this to her. "By the way, have you told her yet?"

Levi's expression turned sheepish, and he shrugged. "Well, it was just one date, so... it was a hit it and quit it type of thing, you know?"

My jaw dropped, and I pushed him off me, shocked by his casual tone. "How can you say something like that, Levi?!" I exclaimed, my voice rising in indignation.
