BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 Choose Me!
“I think I look at you as a man looks at a woman!” to say that her jaw dropped and touched the ground would be an understatement.
She looked at him with horrified eyes. What nonsense in the world was he spouting.
Damn.. ien had expected that kind of reaction. The confession was a big deal for him too since he had never professed to anyone before.
Most of the time it was girls who told him that they were interested in him, not the other way around.
He was waiting for her to scold him or to run away in fear. Even if she complained to Rafael, he was prepared for that.
But his eyes cracked with surprised when instead of running away, she walked closer to him and converted the distance between them,
They were only standing a step away from him and if he forward his hands, he would be able to take her in his arms.
The thought made his hands itch, yet he controlled as he waited for her to react first..
But once again he was shocked when she moved her hands closer to his face.
Was she going to cup his cheeks, kiss him, hug him? Damn, what was she gonna do?
That one second felt like it was longer than centuries and he could not wait for it to end and see the result.
Hazel flicked his forehead rather harshly and then glared at him but instead of getting flare up, he laughed.
He laughed so hard shaking his head that she felt he had lost his mental balance!
Why in the world was he laughing when she had beaten him? Could it be that he was a masochist?
Only that could define his weird taste in women and his interest in her since she had only insulted him and beaten him whenever they had talked.
“You may have turned lunatic but I am pretty much in my senses. What makes you like me as a woman when I am the wife of your brother?
Get a hold of yourself and if not, go and find a girl.
It is not like you are not spending time with a new one each night.
To think that a man like you could propose to me!” she shook her head and cleaned her hands with her dress as if she had touched something filthy.
But before she could turn and leave, he held her hand and pulled her towards him. Not expecting the sudden force, she fell straight into his chest and he wrapped his hands around her waist to secure that position.
She stared at him with anger and hatred as she tried to struggle out of his embrace.
“What the hell are you doing? I am still your sister in law. I am Rafael’s wife. If you are forgetting then I can remind you by calling him.
And this time i would not stop him when he would try to break your body into two.” Her voice was extremely low and dangerous and her eyes were surprisingly calm yet filled with intent to kill when the vampire’s eyes glowed.
There was no mischievous look on his face before but a strange sense of serenity.
“I know that you are Rafael’s wife! But it’s only a matter of time when he will free you.
If it is about my flings, then I promise that I would never look at another woman if you chose me.
I do not love them, but as a vampire i have needs both of blood and sex.
But I am sure you will fulfill the latter and to not annoy you, I will learn to drink the blood from bottles.
Choose me Hazel! I will protect you and cherish you. Rafael is blinded by his love for a witch that he could not see what a rare gem you are!
But I can since my eyes are on you all this time.
There is no hurry and you do not need to give your answer now. Think about it! I will ask you again once he will achieve his goal and free you.
That day, you would not be his wife anymore. The bandage that would change your answer negatively, they would not be holding you anymore.” his hand moved to her face and she flinched but surprisingly his hands were tender, just opposite to the cold hands of Rafael, she could feel the warmth in his palm that surprised her.
He held a tendril of her hair that was falling on her face and gently tucked it behind her ears.
Her eyes opened and started back at his eyes with confusion when her heart trembled as she felt sincerity in them.
Either he was a great actor or what he was telling was true! But how could that be?
How could a vampire fall for her at a level when he was ready to give up on the right of drinking blood from a body.
She knew how pure blood vampires detest drinking blood from the bottles as they feel that it was of unknown origin like dirty water for humans.
But the way he was holding her. Though his grip on her waist was strong it was surprisingly gentle as if he did not want to hurt her.
“I know you hate vampires. But we are not that bad!
I know that you are confused and think that I am a good person. But do you think if I had been that spoiled, Rafael would have shared everything with me?
I will treat you the way you should be. You have stopped loving yourself in the battle of survival.
I want you to remind me how precious you are Hazel, choose me!” His eyes were pleading to her that she felt herself trembling but she knew it was not out of fear.
Before she could realize, he had already let her go while taking his hands back while she was still standing in the same posture.
“Till then, goodbye Hazel!”
