Chapter 291
Thea
” I’m sorry, I’m so sorry mum.” I cried and she froze looking shocked. Maybe more shocked that I chose to tell the truth. “Angel was right. I didn’t plan for it to happen but….”
“It’s Stockholm I know. You don’t love him. Once you return here you’ll understand that you don’t need him.” She said trying to convince me but I knew my heart and I knew what I felt.
“I’m sorry but it’s not. I know what I feel mum and it’s not Stockholm.” I answered. She blinked looking more shocked at my insistence.
“You know how much I love Scott?”
“I do.”
“Then tell me. What exactly makes you think it’s love. How do you feel about him?” She asked with a strained voice. I could tell it was difficult for her to go further.
I smiled bitterly and dipped my head before raising it up to look at her.
“I can’t tell when exactly it started but I just knew that I grew an attachment somehow even when I tried my best not to feel it. I… I want to be in his presence and I want to run away when I sight him from a distance.” I said replaying the images in my mind as well.
“It feels like I can’t breathe when he’s close and at the same time it feels like I need him to actually breath.” I paused to study my mum’s expression and she looked scared.
“Mum?”
“Go ahead. I’m listening.”
“I get scared when I feel he’s in danger, I don’t want to imagine a life without him. I mean, I can’t live without him. He makes me the happiest even when he is the person who hurt me the most. I’m inclined to forgive him even when his actions are nothing but vile. He completes me and no matter what has happened, I feel the safest when I’m with him. I feel free and see life differently than what I was used to. I accept him for who he is and love him that way.”
“You’re not being forced to say all this Thea?”
” I can’t describe it mum. I can’t… Words fail me. I just know that I’d die for him if I have to. Does that explain it? Does it sound like it? Does it even make sense to you?”
I say and wait to see her reaction. She gives me a look of disappointment. I’m ashamed that I had the guts to say all that to her.
“The Thea I know doesn’t care about things like this.” She said still in denial.
“How can I unlove him then? When I needed to just hate him and get rid of this feeling I couldn’t. He’s stuck here no matter what I do or how hard I try to get rid of this feeling. He’s just a part of me mum. He has grown into my soul. I just… Words fail me mum.” I cried as tears lined my cheek.
“You really love him.” She said and I nodded unable to look at her. “Even after all he has done?” She asked again and I nodded. “Words Thea! Say it!” She yelled.
“I’m in love with him.” I answered and she shook her head.
“Remember this day Thea. Remember that on this day you, broke, my heart.” She said picking her words one after the other. She sounded really heartbroken. “You betray my trust for you. I can’t even recognize you. Where’s my daughter?”
“Please don’t say that.”
“You’re not Thea because Thea would never fall for a monster.”
“I’m so sorry….” I cried.
“I can’t even look at you.” She said in disgust which broke my heart. “Goodbye Thea.”
“Mum don’t… Please!” I begged but she hung up leaving me to soak in my tears.
I felt Angel coming close to me and yet after what just happened he seemed to be the only one who could console me.
“Thea.” He called but I kept crying so he came beside me, hands on my shoulder. “Thea.” He called again.
“She hates me Angel. My mum hates me.” I cried standing to my feet.
“No she doesn’t.” He said palming my face with his gaze boring into mine. “She just finds it hard to accept the truth.”
“I shouldn’t have fallen for you.” I said trying to play out how things would have been if I didn’t. Angel looked visibly hurt by my words but he pulled me into his arms hugging me tightly and stroking my hair soothingly. I hugged him as well sobbing silently.
“Don’t you ever say that. Having your heart has been the best thing that ever happened to me Thea.” He said hugging me more tightly.
“One day your mum will see just how much you mean to me.” He said and slowly broke the hug. He caressed my cheek looking at me so lovingly. A satisfied smile crept up his face and he wiped my tears. “You said all that….” I let out a shaky breath knowing what he meant. “I make you feel all those things….”
“Didn’t you know that already?” I say softly and he smiled more broadly.
“I never heard you say it this way so it feels different.”I had heard him several times confess words more deeper to me and I knew he loved me as much as I did. “Can we just make things work out?”
“Angel….”
“We don’t have to rush.” He said cutting me off and still caressing my cheek. I look at him trying my best to maintain eye contact with him. His gaze was poisoning that I felt my eyes being melted under it.
“I need to go.” I muttered but it came out as a plead because he was seizing my breath yet again.
“No, you should stay.”
“I don’t think my mum will ever forgive me….” I was suddenly cut short as Angel’s lips suddenly brushed into mine. My eyes shut quickly from the sensations that filled me as I felt his lips on mine. His hand went to the back of my head and he pulled me closer to his face.
“Shhh…..” He hushed when he pulled away from me. My lips were slightly parted still craving for another taste. “Just let me kiss you and share this moment with you.”
I remained quiet letting my yearning for him show in my eyes. I wanted him more than I thought I did.
Angel leaned in again bringing his face closer to mine. He tilted his head to the side and I shut my eyes ready for another taste. Our lips locked again,
I held his shirt and his fingers dug deeper into my hair filling me with maddening pleasure.
“Mmhmm.” I whimpered as Angel sucked and dragged my upper lip. My pant met with fluid and my body trembled as he deepened his kiss.
He pulled away slightly and looked at me as if to confirm that I had actually let him kiss me without resistance. He took my lips again, this time more intensely. His hands arced to the back of my waist pulling me close while giving me the sweetest caress. I wrapped my hands around his neck and indulged in this sin that shouldn’t have been.
A love between step-siblings.
Despite my mum’s disapproval, I chose to let him kiss me and I enjoy every bit of the process.
Angel was my world and I was tired of pushing the truth away. No matter what happened, this heart will always choose to love him.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Our kiss intensified and Angel lifted me to his table, his legs coming in-between mine. His kisses began to derail to my neck and I felt a surge of sweet sensations flood into my head. It spiralled and I wasn’t aware of my surrounding anymore. It was just pleasure and the bond it created with our hearts.
He kissed my chest and pulled his head to look at me again. I blinked nervously and sucked in a breath. With the way he looked at me, I knew I had just crossed that line. I was trapped with him.
“I’m so in love with you Thea. I love you so much.” He confessed and I let my lips part slightly to speak.
“I love you too Angel.” I said succumbing to my heart’s desire.
“What?” He looked stunned with a smile curving his lips. I let my hand cup his face. What was the point in fighting it?
“I’m in love with you Angel.” I repeated letting my lips curve into a smile as well.
We stared at each other for a while building tension and when it climaxed he grabbed me again and kissed me so deeply that involuntary moans began leaving my lips shamelessly.
Angel abused my lips, taking me with a hunger I had never seen before. I reciprocated with the same energy because I was starved of him as well.
We kissed letting our passion fill the place. We wanted each other and we loved each other so dearly. That was enough to give us a second chance.
Angel lifted me up from the desk and took me over to the couch. With one leg placed in-between mine. My dress was hiked to the point of nakedness and our bare thighs met causing an eruption of sensation. His kisses started derailing and just when he was about to kiss my neck a knock landed on the door.
