Not Mine but His Mate (Completed)

Chapter 11: Answers 🐾

"What all do you know about me?"

He stared at me for a few seconds before answering, "Clover has brought to my attention that you were once married before. To a famous director."

I nodded, "This is true. And what else?"

"That's all I know."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, I didn't want Clover to tell me anything else. I wanted to hear it from you. I wanted to hear anything you wanted me to know."

"And you expect me to believe that?" I challenged.

"Yes, I do."

"Oh?" With my eyebrows raised, "Why is that?"

"Because I wanted you to come forth with any information that you were willing to share. I didn't feel right finding things out about you that you have not told me personally."

"So what did Clover rush in here to tell you about then?"

"See for yourself."

I bit my lip, debating if I really cared enough to want to see..........

......who the f**k am I kidding. Of course I wanted to see! I'm nosy as f**k.

I made my way over and picked up the device.

PROGRESS ON THE DEFROSTING OF NARCISSUS

'Who is Narcissus?' I thought.

I looked back t Dominic, "So, this wasn't about me?"

He shook his head, "No. I meant what I said about you being forth coming with whatever you'd like for me to know about you."

I began giving him the side eye. Nah, he's too good to be true.
...I'm going to prove that now.

"Go ahead and ask me. I know you want to know," I walked back over to my seat in front of him.

With a quizzical look on his face, "I'm not following."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh come on, everyone always wants to know why Zaim and I got divorced. Go ahead and ask."

He smiled, "I couldn't careless about why you got divorced. That doesn't change why I feel for you and I what I feel for you. So if learning about why you got divorced is another way to know more about you and get closer to you, then yes, I want to know. I want to know everything about you, I'm waiting and hoping that you'll let me in."

The f**k did he say?
Who was this guy?
I mean yes, he's supposedly "my mate," which I still can barely wrap my head around, but is this really how he feels?

It's too soon. Not even a whole six months have passed by and I still have yet to deal with my divorce. Yes I'm happy that I'm not in that miserable marriage, but believe it or not, I was deeply in love with Zaim. Met him when I was a teenager, and he was all I knew.

My first love. The first man I've ever made love to.
My only love. The only man I've ever made love to.
I didn't know how to move on.
Especially when I haven't figured out how to be alone yet.

But a part of me was curious about this world, about this life, what life could be and about this man. What exactly is in this man's DNA to make him care for me like this--to make him want me so hard and quickly.

"What are you thinking?" He asked, penetrating into my thoughts.

His brown orbs were curious of me, "Like you don't already know."
