But I can\u2019t. Not in the state I left it and not with a possible demon still inside. I can only hope it left through the open window; I assume that\u2019s how it got in. But my knowledge of demons doesn\u2019t go very far. I never thought I would have to deal with any of this. \u201cI have an exam tomorrow,\u201d I suddenly blurt out. He widens his eyes and nods, taking a step back, though his hand is still firmly holding onto mine. \u201cSo you do.\u201d He clears his throat loudly. \u201cI\u2019m guessing you need to study.\u201d I\u2019d rather study you, I think, but I nod. \u201cYeah. Thank god I didn\u2019t leave it all to the last minute like I usually do.\u201d He sucks on his lower lip for a moment and I want nothing more than to kiss him again. \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ll pass,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough to pass,\u201d I tell him. \u201cI want to get a good grade.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ll get a good grade,\u201d he says in a knowing tone. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare try to do me any favors,\u201d I warn. \u201cI need to get good grades on my own accord.\u201d \u201cHelp you? Wouldn\u2019t dream of it.\u201d He gives me a convincing smile. \u201cStill, let me finish walking you home. I promise I\u2019ll be out of your hair.\u201d So we walk hand-in-hand the rest of the way, until we\u2019re standing outside my building. \u201cI\u2019m going to go upstairs now,\u201d I tell him. He slides his hand around my lower back, holding me in place, while his other hand cups my jaw. \u201cAnd I\u2019m going to kiss you again.\u201d This time the press of his lips is so faint, so light, and yet it makes my knees tremble, my stomach to do summersaults. \u201cDahlia,\u201d he says, murmuring against my mouth. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to be ashamed of your darkness. I don\u2019t want you to be afraid of it. I am not a delicate man. I am brash, volatile, controlling and demanding and I always, always get what I want. What I want is your darkness to play with mine. I want to make it come so beautifully alive, so that we can revel in it together.\u201d He presses his lips to mine firmly then pulls away and I feel like I can\u2019t breathe at all as he stares inches from my eyes. \u201cI am choosing you. And if you accept me, there is no turning back.\u201d I try to swallow. \u201cAnd what do I get out of it?\u201d I whisper, my voice shaking slightly. The corner of his mouth lifts in a smirk while his eyes narrow. \u201cYou get to feel things you\u2019d only dreamed of feeling. You get to do things you were too afraid of doing. To live in the very darkness you run from. Isn\u2019t that you want most of all? To be so pushed past the point of terror that you no longer fear anything at all?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs I said,\u201d he says gruffly, running his thumb over my lips, \u201cI am not a delicate man. I can be rough. I can cause pain. I may make you hate me sometimes. But I will always be on your side. I will always make you feel chosen.\u201d I don\u2019t know what the hell I\u2019m agreeing to here but I\u2019m nodding. Because I have to. Because I want you. \u201cThen choose me,\u201d I say softly. He leans in and kisses me on the cheek. \u201cI already did. First day I laid eyes on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meet Karina:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karina Halle is a former travel writer and music journalist and The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author of The Pact, Love, in English, The Artists Trilogy, Dirty Angels and over 20 other wild and romantic reads.
