Love Grows In The Dark Eli Lowe (love story novels in english TXT) 📖

knew her unfortunate destiny would definitely burn her to death for daring to love. Still, she was all ready to be dragged towards her love, towards the burning flame eventually, to unite as the one and died willingly only to get just one kiss of her love.

Yes,

I was the moth while he was doing the magic to me just like the alluring fire.

In the dark, we couldn't see each other but his desperate touches were enough to know how he missed me badly. No, not me actually, but his mate. Cause he didn't know yet who I was. He didn't know that I was the one who could never be loved by anyone.

I feared thinking that for how long we could be like this?

For how long could we stay unknown to each other?

Will he accept even after knowing the actual me?

While I was engulfed in my thoughts, mate kept rummaging inside my mouth with his desperate tongue. His warm breaths kept brushing against my skin while his hands kept holding me tight and kept kneading different parts of my body.

He was a wild beast and I was like his prey. He wasn't gentle at all but still, he was trying his best to be one, for me. But no matter how long he kept kissing me, still, it was like he was not getting enough of me.

And I knew what he wanted. I knew why he was trying ever so desperately. So, this time I kissed him back too, letting my tongue move inside him with an unfamiliar rhythm as well.

I have never kissed before, neither did I know anything about it, still it was like, none but I could calm down the wildfire, which had already emerged within him in the dark.

Only after he was satisfied enough, he stopped letting his forehead rest on mine.

He was warm. So was his touches.

“How long were you waiting?” I asked in between my breaths while both of us could not stop panting.

“Forever. For nineteen long years, I believed that there is only one whom I want to kiss, whom I want to touch, and whom I want to fuck. I wanted you only.” Even though his deep voice struggled with his uneasy breathings too, his words fell on my ears very clearly, causing me to shiver for some unknown reason. I was feeling butterflies in my stomach, even though I was hell scared.

Why there had to be this kind of conflict even in such emotions?

“What?!! No, I was asking about tonight.” I said out loud with utter terror after what I just heard.

“Oh. Yes, I was waiting to meet you since last night, right after you left. And I came an hour early tonight.” As soon as he said his fingers touched my already swollen lips, declaring the fact that he wanted more.

“Did you wait for me, mate?” He asked suddenly, taking me off guard with such a question.

“How could I? You came before me.” I answered cautiously even though I understood what he meant.

“I am not asking about tonight.” And with that, he left no option for me to avoid that very question. What should I say?

“No. I didn't, as I have never thought that I could be loved too. And most of all, I needed no one to be with me, because to me, it was of no use to be with someone who always leaves at the end of the day, making you even more miserable. I was enough on my own. And...and I thought that I was born to be rejected anyway. So, I didn't wait for anyone. Rather I never felt the need to be with anyone, ...until...” I paused as I was scared to say further. I was scared to accept the reality now.

“Until?” He asked as he was determined to listen till the last even though I was afraid to say more.

“Until you came.” Though quite unbelievable, at last, I accepted and that too in front of the only one who was now able to crush my heart whenever or however he wants. But still, I chose to take the risk... I chose to fly near the flame without caring to get burnt.

“And I will never leave you.” He announced letting me aware of his firm and immutable decision.

His grip tightened around me in a possessive way and he came so close to me that his face was almost touching mine.

Yes, he was holding me in his tight embrace since I came as if I was some kind of treasure that he never wants to let go.

I wondered if this was some dream.

I wondered how my life was going to make me fall hard when I would wake up the next morning.

“I want to see you mate.” He spoke up when I was lost again in my thoughts, rather with my fears.

“What? We can't. You have promised me.” I panicked cause it was happening too soon. I never thought that I would be left broken-hearted this fast as he will definitely not stay after knowing who I am. And also I didn't think yet, about what I should do if my mate turns out to be none other than Markus.

But then again something deep inside me was telling it was not.

I didn't have any particular reason though.

Still, if it is him, what would I do?

No, we could not see each other. Never ever.

“Yes. I know. But I can see your wolf. I want to know how my mate looks like, if not in your human form, then in your wolf form. I want to know what colour you have got. I want to see you, mate. At least for once.” With his words, he kept rubbing his head on me ever so impatiently, trapping me into his warm embrace.
