BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Book 2

Chapter 8 – This Is My Normal

PATREA.

I had no idea why I felt so nervous in his presence. I’ d been with him alone numerous times in the past, so this nervousness was unwarranted. But then, three weeks with him would be a long time. I was just probably nervous that if he snapped and unleashed hell, I would be the first casualty.

I didn’t flee the demon world only to be killed by a demon in my own realm.

“I know you don’t eat, but I do. So I will be cooking food, and I expect you to eat with me as I’ve been eating alone for many decades…”

“Okay,” he answered as he picked up a fork and forked some meat from the steamed dish into his. ” I can do that. What else.”

“I have work three times a week. So that’s Monday to Wednesday, from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon. During those times, you can do what you want.”

“Like visiting you at the library?”

“Or visit the underworld. You can’t be at the library all the time with me. I need to work.”

“I have a fascination for reading.”

“No, you don’t.” I chuckled softly, picking up a glass of water and sipping it.

“You’ll be surprised.”

“Fine, once a week but not every day.”

He didn’t reply, so I went to the next topic. “We have an extra room. I already prepared it for you…” “No,” he interrupted, shaking his head. His eyes locked with mine before he leaned his forearms on the table. “That part is not negotiable. I’m staying in your room.”

“But what if I’m not…”

“I said no. Next topic.” He hissed.

“But Lucius…”

“You should have told me that before you said yes. Because I made my intentions clear when I said I would stay in your house and your room.” He emphasized the word ‘your,’ and I was sure he was not giving in to this easily, but I got to try.

“I just want privacy sometimes.”

“Which you will get. Tell me to fuck off if you want to strip naked or simply don’t want to see my face, then I will go. But you can’t tell me to fuck off every single hour because I won’t.”

“I never lived with a man before, so I’m not sure how this will work.”

A devilish grin tugged on his lips as he leaned back on his chair while still playing with the fork in his hand. “I never lived with a female before, so I’m sure we’re just in the same boat here.”

He cleared his throat before he continued. “And I have never in my life compromised before, and I’ve been doing a lot of that for you.”

“I know.” I smiled nervously. “But I don’t know what you’re expecting to get from doing all this. If ever you succeed, I’m not even sure I can satisfy you the way you want to be satisfied.”

“So you’re worried you can’t satisfy me? That’s a good start.” He stated, and his eyes blazed red before he dropped his gaze and began slicing the meat on his plate.

“Did I say that? What I mean is…”

“Eat, Patrea. I can’t keep eating forever while waiting for you to finish. Although this one looks good, it’s like popping air into my mouth.”

Even if I wasn’t sure I made the right choice by agreeing to this, I was glad Lucius was here. The last two nights were terrible. The nightmare became so intense that I woke up with head pains.

dinner, I cleaned up the table and washed dishes while Lucius just sat back and watched. I thought I would feel agitated being watched, the same way I felt whenever Lucien would stay in my cottage and watch me. But this one felt different. I was nervous but in a good kind of way.
