Lust in his eyes

Promise

Different colors of roses were flowering before me. 

The strong fragrance of roses clogged the surrounding air.

I stopped in front of red roses and leaned down to smell one, the pleasant aroma stuffed my senses.

I was paralyzed with happiness.

"So incredibly beautiful," I said, running my fingers nimbly over the petals.

"Isn't it the kind of thing humans like?" I heard his strong voice behind me.

I spun around with a smile. I could barely conceal my happiness.

"I hope you will enjoy this small gift I've prepared for you," He stopped right beside me.

"Thank you. I really love roses,"

I always wanted to create a rose garden. But I couldn't. 

Where could I create my own garden when I didn't even own myself a house?

"I know,"

"How?" I asked, cocking my head in confusion..

He said nothing but smiled.

Oh yeah, I remember.

He knows everything about me.

There's no hidden skeleton in the closet.

"You know, no one had ever done anything so beautiful for me before. Thank you,"

"I promise you with all my soul, from now on, you will only receive beautiful things," He said.

I searched his face for proof. He was serious.

"We're just from different worlds, You and I. Don't make promises you may not be able to keep," I looked into his dark eyes.

I've had more people promise me things than anyone could ever imagine.

No one fulfilled it.

"I don't wish to imply that you are wrong. Whether you trust me or not, I'll protect you from all the bad vibes, I can give everything you want except sending you back to the human world. I'd keep you safe. I've regarded your safety and happiness as my top priority so therefore I will not break my promise," I stood there, motionless, considering his words.

The way he stared at me tripled the rhythm of my heartbeat. 

He made me feel secure, and I mattered in his world.

Happiness streaked through me like a comet.

I just stared at him, almost unable to believe it.

"Why are you being so nice to me? I'm nothing but a weak human girl. There's nothing good you'd get from keeping me," My face was wet with tears. "Everyone wished my death. I'm just a curse to the world. You'd better stay away from me," I said wiping the tears and sniffing into my arm.

He stood in a silence for a few seconds.

There was an unpleasant look on his face.

Maybe he's thinking that I was damned right.

When the silence began to get awkward, I turn around and walked to the other side, away from him.

Soon after I felt his strong hand on my wrist and he drew me into his embrace. His body was warm and strong as he enfolded me within his embrace. I felt completely at peace in his warm embrace. 

I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his body.

He released me from his tight hug as he stared deeply into my eyes. He tenderly wiped my tears that were left on my cheeks.

"Don't ever say such words again. You are my mate and you deserve all the happiness in the world. You have my word and my word is my bond," His words brought a wide smile on my face.

It was almost more happiness than I could take.

I dropped my head comfortably on his chest. For the first time in my life, I finally felt comfortable and safe, not to mention happy.
