A Dance With The Devil (A Sylus - Love and Deepspace Fanfiction)

This...

I walked to my roomed and closed the door behind me. I laid on the bed and held a pillow. I wanted Sylus so badly. He's hot, he's sexy, and clearly he wants me in some capacity. But I thought all he wanted, was for me to fall for him so we could finally resonate with my Evol. I started crying because all I wanted, was to have him. 

Sylus stood outside my room, his expression conflicted. He could hear me crying on the other side of the door and it pained him to hear it. He leaned against the wall, his heart aching. 

"Damn it..." he muttered under his breath, clenching his fists. 

I continued crying softly into the pillow, my heart aching because I wanted it to be real. But I had no guarantee that anything he said was the truth. I had no idea of his true feelings, if he had any. Sylus stood outside my room for a few moments longer, listening to my soft sobs. He couldn't stand the thought of me crying alone. Finally, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door. 

"Kitten, can I come in?" 

I hear his muffled voice coming from the other side of the door. I sniffled as I tried to wipe away my tears. I remained on the bed, facing away from the door. 

"Yeah...come in," I answered.  

Sylus slowing opened the door and stepped inside, closing it behind him. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to me, not saying anything at first. He could see that I had been crying, and it tugged at his heart. 

"You've been crying..." he said softly, his voice tinged with concern. 

I said nothing hoping he wouldn't notice how much I was truly crying. Sylus gently placed a hand on my shoulder, his touch gentle and comforting. 

"Don't try and hide it. I can tell you've been crying. Talk to me."

"Sylus...do you want me?" I said in a low tone, continuing not to look at him.

Sylus was taken aback by my question, his hand still on my shoulder. He took a deep breath before answering. 

"Yes, of course I do, Sweetie. I've wanted you from the moment I laid eyes on you." 

"But I don't just mean for my Evol..." I said assuming he was talking about wanting me for my power. I sat up and looked at him. He could see my red cheeks and glassy eyes from crying. "Do you really want, me?" I continued. 

Sylus' expression softened as he looked into my eyes. He reached out and gently cupper my face in his hand, his thumb wiping away a tear. 

"Yes. I want you in every way. I want to touch you, hold you, and be with you. I want to make you mine," he said. 

I leaned into his hand. This was the first time I felt his touch like this, there was a warmth behind it. 

"But how do I know you don't just want me for my Evol?" I asked. 

Sylus shifted in the bed and moved closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. 

"I swear to you, that I want you for more than just the power your Evol can give me. I want you for who you are, flaws and all. I want to protect you, take care of you, and make you happy. I want to show you how much I care about you." 

I felt his seriousness. 

"Promise me..." I begged. 

Sylus took my hand in his, intertwining his fingers with mine. 

"I promise, Kitten. I promise that I want you for more than your Evol. I promise that my feelings for you are genuine. I know I tease you quite a bit, but this time I'm not. I promise that I'll do everything in my power to make you happy and keep you safe."
