I try to stay awake as long as possible. Klevon and I decided to leave two hours before midnight. So, two hours after dinner, I went to bed and try to stay awake as long as possible. I hear the commotion outside my room. I place my book on the bedside table and cover myself with the blankets.
Lavender. Theo comes to check on me tonight. I lie on my side, with my back on the door, and fake that I am sleeping. I sense him sitting on my bed in front of me. I can clearly smell his heady scent, and instead of being drowsy, the alluring smell is just waking me up.
The tip of his fingers lightly brush against my left cheeks and temple. I can sense the warmth from it. He gently plays with my hair. And then, I feel engulfed by his frame. The lavender smell becomes stronger and I realize that he is leaning over me with both his arms on either side of my body.
He places a light kiss on my jaw and whispers, "I love you, Kaiya. Good night."
After a long time, he gets up from the bed, and when I hear the door closing. I sit up from the bed. I clutch at my chest. Even until now, he stirs me so much. Even if I know I shouldn't feel like this, this damnable mate bond is going against my own wishes. Damn it all!
I gather my knees to my chest and hug them. I hate how his smell alone can make my chest thump so hard like this. This damnable mate bond is making me stay in love with him. I need more discipline to stop myself from running into his arms. I won't let myself be hurt like that again!
