Chapter 113: First Night In His Arms

The thumping of his heart was strong underneath my hand. His deep, dark eyes stared into mine with so much wonder and awe. He was looking at me like I outshined the stars and the moon in the sky.

My heartbeat drummed loudly against my ears, waiting anxiously for his answer. With each passing second, it felt as if my heart beat violently in my chest and was about to explode.

I waited for him to say something. Anything at all.

A while back, I couldn’t tell how I felt about him, but now, it couldn’t be more clear.

I had fallen for him from the very moment we kissed in that little garden when I had accidentally eaten his fruit. I may have not fully known it then but looking back that was the moment it began.

I had been afraid to tell him my feelings before but now I wasn’t scared anymore. I just also needed to hear them from him. I needed those three words to be spoken by his lips and for him to mean every single one.
