I felt myself go completely weak— if he hadn’t been pressing her against the wall, I surely would have crumpled into a trembling heap on the ground. “Gray…” I groaned, the desperate sound parting my lips readily for him to slip in.

Eden’s POV:

I gasped, letting my mouth open shamelessly for him to explore, practically begging to be devoured completely. My heart couldn’t handle it, and neither could my body. I felt my control over my body decrease as it sagged against the wall, the only thing preventing me from falling completely.

“Sterling…” I whispered his name in complete ecstasy, ready to let him do whatever he wanted despite being in public.

Gray’s POV:

My blood roared in my ears the second I heard my name come out of her mouth. Her delicious mouth… which opened readily for me.

The second I felt it, I slipped my tongue inside, exploring her, hoping it would please her, hoping she knew just how much she was driving me insane.

I knew we should stop, but I couldn’t control myself. Not around her. Ever.

A strangled gasp emerged from my throat, the sweet taste of his mouth pouring into mine as pure ecstasy was pumped through my veins. I struggled against his hands, trying to pull my wrists away and push my fingers into his hair, but his grip was like iron, keeping me exactly where he wanted me. “Gray..” I murmured again, trying to press closer.

Gray’s POV:

I smirked against her mouth, tightening my hold on her enough to keep her where I wanted, but not much to leave bruises on her. Like I said before, I wasn’t a sadist, but seeing Violeta like this… it gave me a thrill. To have her completely at my mercy, as weird and creepy it sounds.

I pushed harder into her, as if there are more space to be filled, my tongue exploring her hot cavern.

Finally, I pulled my mouth away from hers, desperate for some oxygen. The second I did so, my lips began to throb painfully, begging to be reunited with hers.

I drew in a desperate gulp of air, my chest heaving. I made an attempt to cool down, set my thoughts straight, but as soon as I made the fatal mistake of looking back to Gray’s lips, my mouth was begging for more. Slowly, taking my time, I pursued my lips and ran my tongue over them, not daring to meet his piercing eyes.

Gray’s POV:

I reached out to run my thumb over her hot, swollen lips, wetting my own in hunger.

I rested my head in the crook of her neck, wanting more, and knowing she did, too, but wanting for her to catch her bearings.

“Violeta…?” I breathed out her name.

“Y-Yes?” I answered weakly, finally slipping my wrists from his grip of steel and pushing my fingers into his hair. My mouth still tingled from the blissfully prolonged contact, though my head spun dizzyingly.

Gray’s POV:

I reached out for her hand in my hair, squeezing it gently.

“Don’t leave me…” I whispered before I could stop myself, biting my lower lip, abandonment issues clouding my normally rational brain. “Please don’t ever leave me…”

“Why would I ever leave you?” I whispered breathlessly, beginning to gently massage his scalp. The logical side of my brain warned me not to promise anything— barely any relationships lasted forever. But the fragility behind his words, the…. fear, almost, made me unable to resist the need to comfort him

Gray’s POV:

I let out a quiet, bitter scoff against her neck.

“Everyone ends up doing that…” I found myself whispering. My mother, my father… every friend I had to this day. Everyone disappearing from my side… I didn’t want Violeta leave me behind, too. I knew I was being selfish, wanting to chain her to me forever, but I couldn’t help myself. This girl was like a fresh of breath air, oxygen for me. Without her… I didn’t think I could do anything…

“Gray…” I began, my voice barely above a whisper as gently tilted his chin up to meet his eyes. “The only reason I’d leave you is if you consistently scared me by not respecting my boundaries, being overly-possessive, or doing something seriously wrong. But I know that you’d never do any of those— so there’s nothing to worry about. Okay?”

Gray’s POV:

I smiled, relieved, leaning down to press a gentle kiss on her lips.

“I won’t do that,” I promised. “I’m… possessive, I can tell you that, but there’s a limit I won’t cross. I won’t get angry at you being friendly with a male friend. I won’t get angry at you doing things without my permission. I’ll give you space when you need it, and I’ll treat you like you’re meant to be treated—a precious, precious gem too good for this world. I will never, ever cross your boundaries. Unless you tell me ‘yes’, I will never take the next step. I’ll keep my hands to myself.”

“Thank you….” I whispered, letting my eyes drift shut again. “You have no idea how much that means to me..” Now that the adrenaline rush had mostly worn off, I was left in a hazy fog of bliss, wanting nothing but Gray and only Gray. “Just… remember hat we’ve only been together for two days. I don’t want to rush something as precious as this.”

Gray’s POV:

God, she was so beautiful…

“I don’t want to rush this,” I told her seriously. “I’m willing to take this slow and easy. I wouldn’t want anything else. I don’t want you to think I’m only using you. I’m here with you because I—“ realizing I was almost going to say something I hadn’t even realized yet, I immediately changed my words. “—I care about you. More than you realize.

I know a while ago, I said I wasn’t interested in love or relationships. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m interested in you. You… make me want to change into a better person, accept the possibility of trying out a relationship. Quit the occasional one night stands and shameless flirting.” I bit my lower lip, wondering if what I was saying would scare her off. “I… want to try this out with you. So Vy, be my girlfriend?”

My breath caught.
My heart stopped.
My hand slipped from Gray’s hair to cup his cheek.

“Of course,” I managed, a huge grin on the curve of my still-puffy lips. “Definitely. I— I didn’t realize I meant that much to you— I’ve never meant that much to anyone before. For what it’s worth, you make me want to change for the better, too. And I care for you more than I ever thought I would.”

Gray’s POV:

It took a few scary, tense seconds for her to finally respond, her lips blooming into a grin that made my heart flutter. She liked it. She liked the idea.

“You mean a lot to me,” I repeated, confirming her statement, leaning into her touch. “And you’ll mean a lot to other people. Eden… I can tell she’s beginning to like you. Why else would she stay over at your place? And Sterling… he chose you out of several other girls to be his girlfriend’s friend because knew you were a wonderful person,” I paused my speech, not knowing what else to say. “Violeta, people don’t realize what a wonderful, angelic person you are. And they don’t have to as long as you know your worth. As long as you know you are worth more than any treasures in the entire world, you’ll be fine.”

I focused my gaze into her eyes, cupping the hand that was on my cheek, bringing it to my lips to press a light kiss on her knuckles. I let it go, leaning down to kiss her again, this time gently.

I softly cupped her cheeks, my eyes closing as my lips touched hers gently, careful not to use too much force.

“Thank you for giving me a chance, Violeta…” I whispered against her lips. “I won’t let you down.”

(I’m d y i n g
My heart)

Tears pricked my eyes, which I rapidly blinked away. My heart swelled in my chest, filled to the brim with immense gratitude and appreciation, affection and… hope.

“You’d never let me down…” I whispered in a voice thick with emotion. “Thank you. I can’t— I can’t express how happy your words make me— Just know that I’m eternally grateful. I hope I can return the favour one day..”

(Me, too!! ;^;)

Gray’s POV:

I gently wiped her eyes, a soft smile on my features as I looked at her, affection dancing in my eyes.

“I’m happy that you’re happy,” I said to her softly, pulling her close so her head rested on my chest, my arms around her waist, my chin on the top of her head. “As long as you’re satisfied, Violeta, I don’t need anything else. Just stay happy and that’ll be enough for me. There’s nothing else I would want.”

How had I ever gotten this lucky? Gray was…. God, there were no words to describe how amazing he was.

“I feel the same way about you,” I whispered, slipping my arms around his middle and leaning the side of my head against his chest in order to listen to his blessedly strong heartbeat. “You know, a few days ago, I never would have imagined any of this…”

Gray’s POV:

I ran my fingers through her hair, laughing softly.

“Me neither,” I said honestly. “I always wanted to see a smile on your face, but I didn’t even know why until a few days ago. I’m glad you feel the same way…”

This woman was perfect in any way and no one could ever change my mind. She had her flaws, but those made me adore her even more. She was absolutely flawless. And she was in my arms, as my girlfriend.

“You know, Ari likes you,” I chuckled, remembering how she bombarded me with questions about Violeta the second we dropped her off st her dorm. “Especially since you’re the first girl I’ve introduced her to.”

“Oh, thank god..” I murmured quietly, closing my eyes. “I was afraid she wasn’t going to like me.” Syncing my breathing with the steady ‘thump-thump’ of his heart, I gave a soft smile. “She’s adorable… looks a lot like you.”

Gray’s POV:

I pressed a kiss on top of her head.

“Who wouldn’t like you?” I asked her, smiling down at her as she continued to listen to the beat of my heart. “Isn’t she, though? I’ve tried my best in raising her, but I always feel like I haven’t done enough…”

Raising…. oh.

Even after he’d told me about his parents, or lack thereof, I’d always assumed that he and Ari had moved in with other relatives, or foster parents. But this? Somehow, it managed to make my heart break even more for him.

“You— You had to raise her? Gray… I’m sure you did more than enough. You did everything you could possibly do, and continue to— I don’t know many people who would have the courage to do that.”

Gray’s POV:

God, the more I thought she couldn’t get any more perfect, she proved me wrong. It made me want to try even harder to keep her as mine.

“We… moved in my aunt and uncle, but we uh… we didn’t have a very good relationship,” I said slowly, wanting to let her know but hesitant at the same time. “But thank you, Vy. That means a lot, coming from you.”

My arms tightened protectively around him at this. Screw anyone who had hurt him— I would murder them if they ever tried again.

“You don’t need to thank me..” I murmured, keeping my voice as soothing as possible.
