Valerie Thorne’s POV:Did he just say he loves me? Or was I hallucinating?!My brain crashed, and my whole body felt like it was on fire. Raven? And he said he loves me? If he said it in my dreams or perhaps another world? I would have believed him?But the Raven Blackwood, who was in front of me… he would never say so.I stared into his grey eyes, frozen, as he kissed me. My heart was beating so fast I could barely breathe, let alone react. I wanted to push him away, but my hands wouldn’t move.He looked down into my eyes intensely, which made my knees weak. “I love you, Valerie,” he said again.My chest tightened. I shook my head, “Don’t…”I had to move away from him. If I didn’t, I was afraid I would fall apart right here in his arms.“Don’t what?” Raven frowned.“You are not capable of love, Raven.” I felt like laughing. Raven said he loves me. He loves me. Either he said it as a joke or I was really hallucinating.He took a slow step towards me and asked, “You think I don’t mean

“There’s something. Let me see.” He grabbed my face and turned to his side. Then he looked at every inch of my face in confusion.I swallowed my breath. He was so close to me. Just another inch, and I could kiss him. My body felt hot. Every part of me was screaming for need. Damn it. I must be in my ovulation period, otherwise, there was no way I felt the need for him so much. I needed to get away from him. I needed to be anywhere but here, or I would end up doing something I would regret later.“Talk,” he prompted me.I swallowed another breath to calm myself. Taking another moment, I finally said, “I am tired. I want to sleep now.”I stood up, shaking his hold on him.“Okay. I will leave you to your room.” Raven stood up as well.“No. I am fine. I can go myself.” I quickly walked to my room. Only I knew that the distance of only a couple of steps felt like distance of miles to me. The fire inside my body was so strong that it could burn me. Reaching inside the door, I locked it fir

Valerie Thorne’s POV:He looked at me, but for how long? I didn’t know that.I stared at the moon for an endless time before my eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep. In my sleep, I felt his touch, his strong but gentle grip, around my body. Then, after some time, my body touched something warm, but I didn’t resist. I knew it was him.Next morning…When I groggily woke up, I felt something hard and heavy leaning against me. I blinked my eyes a few times to regain my focus. ‘Uh, Raven…? What was he doing here?My first instinct was to push him. My hands touch his bare chest and I felt current. Ugh, what was that? I withdrew my hand and stared at his closed eyes and fluttering lashes, which looked humane as they were closed.But I couldn’t help myself as I touched his face softly so he wouldn’t wake up. I didn’t know what made me do that. Maybe I just wanted to touch them to feel if they were real or his charm was too magnetic for me to stay away? And then, his lashes twitched under my t

After half an hour of driving, we arrived at the spot. I parked my car quietly and looked at my Wife who was staring ahead.I didn’t say anything, just looked at the view in front of my eyes, which looked way more interesting and beautiful than the view outside.A couple of quiet moments passed when Valerie turned to the side and her eyes met mine, “Was this your surprise?” A flicker of confusion and amusement appeared in her eyes.I nodded. I looked outside and deliberated with myself ‘What was wrong with this?’ ‘Did she not like it?’ ‘Did I mess up in the morning only?’ Then I asked her quietly. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” She shook her head nonchalantly. But I could see her lips curving up faintly. She wanted to laugh out loud, but was holding back.My lips pressed into a thin line in confusion. What happened? I looked at the view, and I looked at her. I repeated it countless times, but still couldn’t understand what was going on. But whatever it was, it softened my heart. Valerie w

Raven shook his head lightly, trying to put a big fake flattering smile on his face, “No. I wouldn’t dare to take your food.”I didn’t buy it, and encouraged him further. I picked up some noodles with my chopsticks and held out for him to eat. I looked at him, thinking he would either shake his head again or avoid looking at me or just focus on his food, but surprisingly, he did none of them. Instead, he leaned forward and ate the noodles I picked up for him. His jaw moved as he chewed the noodles. His eyes turned red, and I could see tears staining his face in a few seconds.I swallowed my breath weakly. A part of me felt guilty, but another part of me said he deserved it.When Raven was done, he gestured for me to feed him another bite.“You sure?” I asked.Raven nodded. I picked more noodles and held out for him. Raven didn’t hesitate and opened his mouth again.My hands trembled, but my mind said, ‘It was okay.’“Continue,” he said casually, like nothing was affecting me. But his
