Blackmailed For Love

Chapter 15: Tell me a secret

 I didn't know what I was doing here this late in the night.

This time there was no bet involved for me to prove that I wasn't a wuss.

No, this time something else compelled me to sneak out of our little cottage and enter this dark forest that had frightened me the first time.

Or maybe to look for someone.

But it doesn't frighten me as before or maybe it does but I knew that there was someone else who would save me from wild predators.

Leaves crunched behind me and I whirled around with my hand on my heart.

The moment my eyes met his glittering greys my heart started beating for entirely different reasons.

"I know for a fact that there's no bet today.Then what's the reason for your visit here."

He said as he leaned against a tree and slipped his hand in his pocket.

I licked my lips and his eyes dropped to my mouth for a second before they came back to meet mine and he arched a dark brow.

I said, "I just came for a… walk?"

His lips twitched and he asked, "In the middle of the night?"

I shrugged.

"I couldn't sleep.And you are one to talk when you yourself are here."

"I couldn't sleep either."

"Why?"

"A lot in my mind."

I took a step toward him, an unseen thread pulling me to him.

"Want to share.You can, I won't tell anyone."

He looked at me for a long moment and then said, "I will if you tell me a secret."

I frowned at him.

"But I don't have secrets."

"Everyone has secrets, little girl."

"Do you?"

He tilted his head to the side in agreement and asked, "So… Want to trade?"

I chewed on my bottom lip, for a long minute thinking about what kind of secret I could tell him.

I really did not have something that would be secret for someone like him.

But I wanted to know about his secret, so I nodded.

"Fine.Tell me."

"Every time I close my eyes or try to sleep, I feel like someone would suffocate me in my sleep."

I froze.

My whole body jerked with his words.

How could someone feel like that? "Why?"

The question slipped before I could think about it.

The corner of his lips twitched up.

He didn't look fazed by what he said as much as I felt wanted to do something for him.
