Beneath Her Darkness: The Alpha's Little Demon

Chapter 155

Book 2

Chapter 3 – Let Me Stay

PATREA.

“Let me stay with you and be a part of your daily routine for three weeks – which means I will live in your house and stay in your bedroom.”

My eyes widened before a soft chuckle escaped my lips. “Is this some kind of joke?”

“I don’t joke, Patrea.”

The seriousness on his face immediately wiped the smile off my face. “You’re serious.”

“I don’t make deals as some kind of joke.” He looked annoyed.

“I’m not sure why you think this will work. I just got off from the underworld. For the last six months, I’ve been trying my best not to think of that part of my life, but I wasn’t succeeding.

Everywhere I turn, it reminds me of that place. Even plants remind me of that place. I always compare.” I couldn’t stop blabbing. “There are no plants as green as these in the underworld. And it’s colder here, the sounds are from cars, and not fireballs being thrown at each other… and the creatures here appear to be less frightening. I can’t stop seeing the difference.”

“Enough…” Lucius held both my forearms before his gaze locked with mine, and I knew I shouldn’t be seeing anything in those black eyes of his, but I saw the disappointment in them.

Why was he disappointed? Because I didn’t agree with his terms. Or because I talked too much.

“Regardless if you see me or not, everything still reminds you of the underworld. So what difference does it make if I stay with you?”

“Why are you doing this?”

“I want to fuck you.” He said almost immediately. “Wow! That’s…” I swallowed before I tugged my arms away from his hold and continued speaking. “… a little too blunt.”

“Do you expect a demon to sugarcoat his words?”

“No. But the last aggressive proposal I got was somehow similar to that. And it didn’t end well.”

So, he told you he wanted to fuck you?”

I should be pissed off with this. He was opening a wound, but instead, I kept answering him. “No. He said he would abuse my body in a way that no other man…”

“Ssshh… You don’t need to…”

“I want to talk about it!” I snapped at him. “I want to complain to someone about it. I want to get angry and scream. I have had all these pent-up emotions for the last three decades, and I can’t tell Althea or Lucy. I don’t want their pity…”

“And we will talk about it. You can tell me everything. I’m sure you can never get pity from me.”

I was sure he would laugh off my miseries, but maybe it would be better that way – someone seeing it as a fun experience that took pity on me.

“So, three weeks?” He added.
