Chapter 482 - 482 I WANT TO KISS YOU

482 I WANT TO KISS YOU

This was a tacit understand between them the moment Zuri said that she needed to talk to Eros, since there was nothing else that they should talk about, unless this matter.

“Let’s make this quick.” Zuri gritted her teeth, it was harder than she imagined to talk face to face with Eros, the fear of pain of breaking off the mate bond between them made her upset. She should do it quickly without any hesitation, but all she felt right now was; she wanted to back off.

The thought of losing his mate made her heart ached so bad, though they didn’t know each other that much to fear of losing one another.

“I know what do you want to say.” Eros hated it when the sound of his voice was darker than he expected. There was reluctance in the way he said those words. “If you want to do it, please go ahead.”

Zuri lifted her head, which was a wrong move, because the moment their eyes met, she couldn’t avert her eyes away from him. There was something that made her spellbound by the man in front of her. She felt, she had known him for such a long time and this feeling was insane.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Zuri was afraid to admit this, but this was even stronger than her feeling toward Chaos right now…

Maybe it was because Chaos was not here and the bond that had just started to form had a great force for the two of them.

“Please do it,” Zuri finally said. She couldn’t bring herself to say the word. Both of them would be in pain, so why she should be the executor for this agony.

However, hearing that, Eros did not agree, he frowned and crossed his arms in defense. “No. You are the one, who wants to talk, so do it.”

.....

“What?” Zuri glared at him when she heard that insensitive words. “Why? You should take responsibility of this.” Zuri was upset, but the pull between them was still there, thus her emotions were all over the place right now.

“I didn’t do anything, why should I take responsibility for something that beyond me?” Eros didn’t even back down in this matter.

Zuri blinked her eyes, incredulous. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re so annoying?”

“Don’t worry, you are not the first person to say that. I am not surprised anymore,” Eros replied casually.

Was this a joke? How could they compatible to be a mate? Seriously…

“I can’t believe, a man like you is my mate…” Zuri sighed, she shook her head in disbelieve to her fate. “Just say the word and go back to your girl.” She hissed viciously. The image of him carrying that girl annoyed her and she even more upset because she was upset.

Eros was silence when he heard that. She was right. Emily was waiting for him inside the room. He should go back to her and assuage her fear. She had a rough night.

But so did he…

He had been uncomfortable because of this mission and he needed to take a step back and free himself from this madness before he could comfort her. There were a lot of things that roamed around in his mind right now and he didn’t feel like he could sleep well tonight.

He had to think how to deal with Liam, because he had this feeling that he was up to no good. He couldn’t talk about this to Emily, because it would only worry her and there was nothing she could do, if something really happened.

However, Eros really needed a break from those issues for a moment. He needed to breath…

“What are you doing?” Zuri widened her eyes when she watched Eros extended his hand, but he held her arm to make her stayed in place.

It was easy for Zuri to evade his advance, but the spark between them, the moment they touched each other, made her hard to move. She was surprised, so did he.

The tingle feeling that on their skin made them unable to say a word. They looked at each other and knew what the other person felt right now.

“I just want to try this…” Eros murmured. “I heard there will be a spark between two mate when they touch each other.”

Eros extended his hand and then touched Zuri’s cheek gently, he used his thumb to caress her lips and was fascinated by this feeling. This was something that they would never get from anyone, except their own mate.

At this moment, somehow, Eros understood why Liam kept Jasmine with him, no matter what happened, no matter what her background, no matter what she had done, he kept her close to him, even though they looked like they would tear each other apart.

This must be this feeling, this complicated feeling, the feeling of strange comfort that they got from each other.

For the first time, Eros felt at ease…

This was not right, he knew, but…

“This is not right…” Eros mumbled. He stared at her lips and felt her hair that blew by the wind, it felt so soft when it caressed his skin. He wanted to run his fingers through her white hair, which color reminded him of snow…

Zuri agreed with him, but she couldn’t bring herself to stop this. She didn’t resent the way he touched her. She didn’t feel uncomfortable because of that, if anything, she liked it… that was so wrong.

“You have to say it,” Zuri said, but her voice was very weak, it was barely a whisper.

“I know.” Eros nodded, but he didn’t stop.

Both of them enjoyed the spark between them and cherished every moment of this because they knew it wouldn’t last. The spark would be gone once the mate bond was snapped because of the rejection, right?

“You have not yet said it,” Zuri reminded him, she gritted her teeth, trying to hold onto the last thread of her conscience.

Eros said nothing when he heard that, he just stared straight into her eyes. Did he need to reject this? This feeling was intoxicating, touching her was addicting and how could he lose this peace? His heart was at ease and he felt like he could rest in her presence alone.

Something that he couldn’t get from Emily, so did Zuri.

She loved Chaos, but what she had with Eros was completely different.

They felt like they finally found peace in the middle of this chaotic and bloody war between all creatures in this realm.

Would they throw away this peace that they had been looking for? This feeling that made them stopped worrying about the world?

This was a fancy feeling for them to have among all the things that happened between the two of them, or surrounded them.

They wanted to cherish this for as long as possible.

“I really want to kiss you.” Eros frowned when he blurted that out.

“That’s so wrong.” Zuri grabbed his hand, but she couldn’t push him away from her. “Let’s end this quickly.”

“This mate bond is truly upsetting.”

“I couldn’t agree more about that.”

Eros gritted his teeth and then took a step back. It was hard to do that because all he wanted to do was to touch her. This was craziness.

“Seriously, this is harder than I thought,” he grumbled and Zuri knew his struggle, because she felt the same way as him right now. “This is even harder than killing someone.”

Zuri chuckled when she heard that analogy, because she could relate with that feeling. “I don’t think killing someone is that hard.”

She had been killing countless creature by now, she lost her count. When she was a child, she told Chaos that one would lose their count in their third kill, but it seemed the same things applied to her as well.

“I listen to what you said seven years ago,” Eros told her.

“What I said?” Zuri frowned, she completely forgot about what she had said years ago. However, she felt less guilty that Eros could step back and stop touching her.

“You said to find out why you hate Liam.” Eros could see the change in the way Zuri looked at him. He hazel eyes hardened and her lips pressed together.

“Good if you know about that.” Zuri nodded. “I hope you can be careful in the future.”

Eros looked at Zuri intensely and the words just blurted out of his mouth. “I will be the alpha of that pack.”

He had been thinking about it, but he had not decided yet whether it was worth it to risk his life and Emily’s, but the moment he remembered what Liam had done to Zuri, it was a big push that he needed to solidify his decision.

“At that time, when I can get the revenge that you want, you must be the one, who said the words.” Eros balled his fists tightly, until his knuckles turned white. “Until then, let’s keep it this way.”

Zuri narrowed her eyes. She didn’t dislike the idea, especially the part where they could postpone what they were going to do now. “You don’t need to take my revenge.”

“I don’t take your revenge, I need more motivation to do so. This is my life that I put on the line.” Eros took another step back. “Until that time, let’s keep thing this way between us,” he said.
