chapter : 5 kiss in dark

Shadow pov :

She left the window unlocked again.

Like an invitation.

Like a test Or maybe deep down she wants this.

She doesn’t know it yet.

But her soul speaks louder than her lips ever could.

She’s been waiting for me.

Even in her fear, I see it. In the way she looks at the shadows like she expects them to answer.

In the way she breathes a little quicker when the lights flicker. In the way she sleeps facing the window now, not away from it.

Tonight, I don’t just watch.

Tonight, I enter.

The air in her room is warm. Soft. It smells like lavender and old books.

But beneath it... I smell her...

That scent has lived on my hands since the first night I stood over her bed. It haunts me. So now, I haunt her back. She doesn’t stir when I move.

My shadow slides across her wall like smoke quiet, creeping, inevitable.

She sits up too late now. She doesn’t trust the dark anymore. Good. She shouldn't. Because the dark no longer belongs to her. It belongs to me.

I stand behind her I dark... She doesn’t see me but she feels me. I see it in the way her breath catches.

The way her shoulders stiffen...how her fit clench to her pants...

She turns slowly.

Eyes wide. Lips parted....

She looked Terrified, Curious... Perfect for me..

She was about to scream..

I don't let her...I don't give her the chance..

My hand slides around the back of her soft neck, pulling her toward me in one smooth, breathless movement..

She gasps but not out of pain...her eyes wide..

There’s no struggle.

Just shock. I love her expression fuck...Then I kiss her.

Not gentle.

Not kind.

Not asking.

I'm Claiming her...mine..

Heat meets cold.

Soft meets sharp.

Her lips taste like questions I’ve already answered.

She doesn’t see my face—just the outline.

The shape of me in darkness.

The heat of my breath.

The weight of everything I’ve become.

I feel her tremble beneath my touch.

I know she wants to push me away.

But she doesn’t. Her body betrays her.

And mine rewards her ..fuck I need more of her...

I have to wait...

When I finally pull back, I rest my forehead against hers, still hidden in shadow...

“I told you,” I whisper, my voice rough, hungry, full of ruin.

“You’re already mine.”

And just like that ..I disappear....

Back into the dark.

Back into the silence.

But I left something behind this time.

Not a note. Not a word.

Just the memory of my kiss—burning on her lips like a secret she’ll never forget..

Isabella pov : The kiss I never asked for

The moment is marked into my skin- his hands in my neck, his hot breath, the overwhelming heat of him in the darkness... It makes me weak...

I didn't see his face...just a figure carved from shadow and silence..

But I felt him..he was too real..too close..

And that kiss...

It was hunger...

It was possession...

It was claiming..

It was not violent..not cruel..but not human either..

And the worst part is I didn't pull away..

I let him to kiss me..

My own body - betrayed me...I melted into it...

I'm breath hitched not out of fear...but something darker...is it out of curiosity ?, desire ?, longing?

No... I'm not going to let it happen again...

He didn't hurt me...but that doesn't mean he won't..

He kissed me and I let him to ..why?

I spent the entire night pacing. Doors locked. Windows sealed.

Lights on. Curtains drawn.But nothing could block out the feeling of his presence.

He’s everywhere.

In the shadows.

In the mirror.

I have to leave...I can’t stay here—this house feels like it’s breathing with him...

I packed my bag with sunrise, clothes thrown in without thought, charger...and my few things..

I have to leave this house.. because if I stay I'm afraid what

I'll become...

I never want something worse to happen..
