CRUEL INTENTIONS

Chapter 18

Lucius stared at her intently in response to her words. She did not feel disgusted by his actions. She was not scared either. "You don't hate me?" He asked with a soft voice.

"No I don't Lucius" She replied making his dark heart skip a beat. God he loved the way she said his name.

"You are not a bad person. True you are dangerous and you killed people but I don't hate you" She added making him snap out of his trance. He exhaled heavily and felt the heavy weight over his chest and shoulders lift off. He had never told anyone about his past and it felt good to let it all out. It definitely relieved him but not as much as knowing that she did not hate him for all the bad things he did. That offered his heart immense peace.

"Everything i am and everything i will ever be is because of you my little flower. It is because of you that i know what love is and that i know what lust and desire is. It is because of you that my existence makes sense again and it is because of you that i have a purpose now. It is because of you that i have everything that i ever wanted in my existence "Lucius said pulling her closer to him. He finally found back his happiness. He had finally a reason to breathe and live again. All thanks to her.

Carvida stared at him and smiled softly. He smiled back gently but her next actions caught him off guard. She gripped his neck and kissed him passionately... The kiss was nothing rough or demanding like their previous kiss. This one was soft, sweet and gentle.

He exhaled in contentment and kissed her back fervently. He gripped her waist tightly and pressed their bodies impossibly closer. Allowing her sweet and soft kiss to touch the depths of his lost soul. "I will never get enough of this" Lucius said between kisses, consuming all of her through each kiss, each touch of his lips against hers.

"I will never leave you" Carvida whispered against his lips making his heart beat faster.

"I thought you wanted to escape me? Or seduce me then kill me? " He asked raising an eyebrow.

Carvida stared at him surprised. "Okay you know me too well" She replied making him chuckle.

"I do. You are my little flower after all" Lucius said leaning back against his chair with her still on his lap.  He could get used to this sight.

"Right... Well I don't plan on escaping you.. Not anymore" She replied staring at him.

"Good. I was not planning on letting you escape either way" He stated earning a scoff from her.

"Possessive Alpha hole" She muttered making him laugh softly at her choice of words.

He then gripped her tightly and stood up making her gasp in surprise. Her hands flying around his neck. "You really need to stop carrying me just like that" She said with a scowl.

Lucius chuckled and carried her upstairs silently. Once they were in the room, he placed her on the bed gently. "You should rest, I know you are tired" He said pulling the blanket over her.

"Okay..." She whispered staring at him intently.

"I'll go now okay. I already cleaned the house so you can rest" He said placing a soft kiss on her forehead. He then turned to leave but he felt her fingers around his wrist. He instantly turned around and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Stay... Stay here with me" She said hesitantly, making his eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you sure that's what you want?" He asked. He certainly would not reject this offer but he wanted to be sure she really wanted him in her bed.

"Yeah I'm sure" She replied letting go of his arm and moving over, giving him space to lie down next to her.

He smirked. "Look at that... My little flower is inviting me in her bed voluntarily" He said teasingly but his heart definitely rejoiced with happiness.

Carvida rolled her eyes. "Shut up and come here already" She replied patting the space next to her. He chuckled but nonetheless got on the bed and lied down next to her in a flat position. He was definitely happy to see her behaving like that with him. It felt good to see her more free and comfortable.

"I'm glad I have you.." Carvida whispered after a few seconds. He glanced at her and saw her looking at the ceiling absentmindedly. She was slowly giving in to him. That was sure.

"I'm glad I found you my little flower" He replied with a soft smile before looking at the ceiling as well. Both of them lost in their thoughts. One already in love and obsessed. The other one slowly falling for a man she never thought she would love.

They remained in a comfortable silence and soon both of them fell into a deep slumber content with the warmth and comforting presence of the other. One was lost and broken by the atrocities he went through. The other was hurt and broken by her own parents. They were both two broken souls in search of peace and love. And it seems they both finally found it. He stalked her with cruel Intentions at first and a deep desire to possess her whether she liked it or not but he was now madly in love with her and there was no going back from this.
