Desires

•CHAPTER XLVIII•

That night after coming back from the Maccon's I walk into my house.

The hallway was dark like the rest of the house. Only the pale moonlight shining in from the window and onto the boarded floor, making me feel more isolated than ever. My mother was in no sight, so I had no expectations that she would be back any time soon.

I make myself some pasta and sauce, cleaning up afterwards and then heading up the stairs, stepping out of the kitchen quickly when I turn the light off feeling like a little child again.

I walk up the stairs and hear the floor board creek underneath me as usual.
But then I hear it creak a beat after I place my feet on the floor.

I freeze in my steps and my eyes blink in the darkness. I turn around and suddenly I'm whizzed and pressed into a wall. Their lips meet mine and steal a kiss. These familiar lips that I recognise and accept like I always do.
I open my eyes to meet the soothing green looking back at me with a smile on his face.
"Hello." He whispers, his lips still on mine. "How was your day?" He asks.
I nod. "I went to see Levi, he was sleeping."
He nods. "How's everyone else?"
"Gabby is fine, Charlie and Jason were flirting the whole time and Cole is just the same as usual. But I can see that he's scared, he's next." I say and Romeo's eyes lift to look elsewhere at the mention of Cole. "They told me that they had some extra help last night, Romeo." I say slyly. "I didn't take you as the helpful kind of guy, no offence."
He scoffs and looks down at me, his elbow resting near my head against the wall.
"Wow Azra Degrey, you have taken a blow to my ego." He says and rests a hand on his chest.
"But seriously, it was really nice of you." I say and fiddle with the collar on his shirt. "But why didn't you tell me?"
He sighed and looked at me intently.
"You inspire me to help people. And also, I have a lot of karma I need to clean off my plate." He said.
I tilt my head. "What did you do?" I ask barely parting my lips.

A piece of hair falls to his face and I push it back for him. I know that this is difficult for him to talk about but I like it when he opens up to me.

"I've been alive for way too long, Azra. That's a lot of time to do bad things." He says.
"But you need to feed." I argue and he shakes his head.
"But I don't have to be greedy about it. I went too far a few times and they've never recovered. I carry the guilt of all the people I've killed just so I can satisfy my cravings."

His frown grows deeper and I caress them with my thumb. Smoothing our his head.
"No wonder you're so broody all the time. You're lucky you don't get wrinkles." I say and I see a smile forming on his gracious lips
"I've killed, manipulated, lied and more. Yet the worst thing I've done is taking you away from your world. I think about what I've gotten you into. Do you know how many nights I thinks about compelling you and your mother away from Morgenstel? You're so human Azra. You're so delicate and I've broken that."

He finally looks up at me and I see the green guilt ridden in his eyes. I shake my head and cup his sculptured face on my palms.
"Romeo I wouldn't know what to do without all of this. I wouldn't want it any other way. You won't believe me but I haven't been happy like this in forever. You picked me up at the lowest point in my life. You're a daily reminder that I can breath again. Don't say those things, don't even think about them, okay?" I say and kiss in between his eyebrows.

He takes my wrists and holds them close to his lips where he kisses them.
"But sometimes I'm worried." He whispers.
"Worried about what?"
He shakes his head and looks down at the ground.
I tilt his face to look at me.

"That I'm not the only person that wants you."

I scoff and shake my head.
"Romeo, you are being absurd." I say and wiggle out of his grasp, walking to my bedroom with his smooth pace beating me a few steps ahead, opening the door for me.

I walk to my vanity and pick up my hairbrush, casually gliding it through my smooth dark hair.

"You know who I'm talking about." He says and glides over to me in a matter of seconds. He takes the hair brush from me and brushes through my hair, his finger gliding through like silk.
"Romeo, I really don't. You're going to have to dissect it for me." I say.
A shiver runs through my spine as his cold fingertips trace my neck.
"I'm talking about a certain wolf." He says into my ear and places my brush down.
"What? Who?" I ask in disbelief.
I feel his cool breath running down my shoulder.
"Cole." He whispers and I turn around to meet him.

My mouth parts. "Absolutely not Romeo. You're insane."
He shakes his head. "I hear his heartbeat every time he's around you. It drove me crazy yesterday."
"He doesn't like me in that way. You're being silly."
He takes a step closer and I take a step back.
"You may not see it but I do. Every time you speak his heart beat rises like crazy."
"Are you jealous?" I ask cunningly and look upon his moonlit face. His chiseled features standing out even more than ever and his eyes lighting up a groundbreaking green.

He gets closer to me until we find ourselves on my bed, his grasp on top of me, I find myself unable to move and I don't want to.

"You're mine. Only mine." He whispers into my ear sending scandalous shivers down my body that craved his.
