The Mask Of The Monster - Chapter 112

[A bonus chapter for ya’ all cause we can’t just stop after hearing her say ‘I love you’, right?]

(From Leandro’s Perspective)

“I love you.”

I had no idea if my heart stopped beating or if it was beating crazily. But my thoughts froze up hearing her saying those three words. Just those three words and my hands started shaking, my thoughts jumbled up.

I thought she wanted to see me or perhaps spend time with me. I did not care why she wanted to meet me. When she wrote in her letter that she missed me and wanted to see me, I wanted nothing more than to run to her. I managed my work as soon as possible to make time to meet her. Because I missed her too. The feeling was so intense that it hurt.

And then when she wrote me that there was another guy around her and who did not seem to be gay, I was restless. What if he tried to do anything funny to my little El? What if he behaved all friendly with her since the beginning? What if she fell for him? I was worried mostly because at first, I behaved very roughly with her. What if she chose someone with a better personality?

Though she wrote that she did not like him much, I still could not relax. I did not want her to choose someone else over me at all.

But all those worries seemed to melt away the moment she said those words, the words I wanted to hear.

“I love you the most. I know I took a long time to say this, so please forgive me. You waited so long for me… You just make me feel very different and now I can’t even think about my life without you. It would be meaningless, you know. If I say precisely, I just love you. I don’t care about anything else. And I am again, sorry for making you wait, I really am,” she muttered, looking down.

“I don’t care.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t care if you’re late. I could even wait for you more,” I said. “You know, now that I think about it, the fact that you waited to answer me was a good decision for the both of us.”

Ella was traumatized at a very early age. It was very believable when she could not trust me that much. At first, I thought she was being unreasonable. But as time passed and I spent more time with her, I slowly understood that she was right to take her time. We did not know each other for a very long time to even form a relationship. It took only a few days for me to develop feelings for her. How could I even have expected her to say yes to me?

“I love you too. I love you a lot too,” I said, cupping her face. “I love you so much that I think I will go insane if you are not with me.”

“That’s pretty dangerous, you know.”

“Yes,” I chuckled. “I know…”

Not a second could pass before my lips found hers. The connection of our lips was very passionate. It was as if it was sucking my soul. I wondered if she felt the same way.

It was clear in her half-closed eyes that she saw me as a gentleman. But she had no idea what was going on in my mind, what I wanted to do, and how much I wanted to push her to her limits. The lewd and not so gentle thoughts were roaming in my mind. I was touching her delicately because I knew if I tried to force just a bit, I would lose control.

Pushing her up against the wall and holding her thigh up, pressing it against my hip, I slowly deepened the kiss. Her moans were silenced in the kiss.

The kiss broke, but my hunger only grew. I bit and suck on her neck, taking her bewitching scent in that I missed these days.

“Huh… I think…”

“Yes?”

“I think I can trust you… with my heart now,” she mumbled, panting because of the long and deep kiss. “So, take care of my heart, Leandro.”

“Does this mean what I think it is?”

“… Yeah…”

“Then don’t stop me midway.”

“I won’t,” she smiled. “It’s you after all. How can I even stop you when I want you this much?”

“Tsk,” I clicked my tongue loudly and picked her up from the ground. She quickly wrapped her legs around my waist and hugged me tightly as if she was scared to fall.

“This… this place…”

“No one will come here. I can’t just take a crowded place for us to meet, right?” I said as I stomped upstairs with long steps. I could not wait at all. “That’s why I told you to meet me tonight. It took some time to get this place.”

“Did… you buy it?”

“Yeah,” I said. “It’s in the abandoned alley. So, no one will come here. And in case anyone passes by, I ordered some of my people to be around.”

“… You got it all prepared…,” she mumbled.

“Yeah, I did. Isn’t it because I had to make sure to have the perfect place ready in case you said yes,” I said and threw her on the bed of the bedroom.

Right behind the bed, there was a window, through which, the silver glow of the moon entered and fell on her, making her face and body visible.

“Don’t shake that much. I am not gonna eat you,” I said, seeing her shaking fiercely in nervousness.

But I was lying to her. Of course, I was going to eat her. I was going to bite into this sweet until I made it mine completely. This fruit was not forbidden, proving the quote wrong- ‘Forbidden fruits are the sweetest’.

[Guess what’s coming next? Lol, we all are sucker for these types of moments]
