**TITLE: Dark Vows**
**Chapter 21**

The clock strikes 4:05 AM, the world outside quiet, shrouded in darkness.

His hair, dark as the depths of night, falls in mid-length curls, gathered loosely into a small knot at the nape of his neck. Stray tendrils escape, cascading down his back in wild, loose spirals. Those curls dance in the dim light, framing a face that is both striking and intimidating. His eyes, as dark as his hair, hold a chilling intensity, reflecting a coldness that sends shivers down my spine. A hint of stubble graces his jaw, accentuating the sharp angles of his sculpted features. He resembles an exotic figure, a blend of an Arab prince and a Roman emperor, exuding an aura of power and mystery.

As his deep-set eyes lock onto mine, a wave of uncertainty washes over me, momentarily clouding my earlier intentions.

My heart races, pounding in my ears like a war drum, as he leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper that sends electric shocks through my body. “What’s wrong?” His breath is warm against my skin, but my head is still spinning, and I struggle to find my footing. A more pressing concern gnaws at me, accompanied by another dizzying wave that threatens to pull me under. I attempt to shift away from his embrace, but my legs betray me, and darkness envelops me once more.

When I finally open my eyes, I find myself back in the familiar confines of my home. The surroundings feel oddly comforting, the scents wrapping around me like a warm blanket. Yet, beneath the familiar, there’s a wild, earthy aroma, reminiscent of beech trees and yew. It’s him. I inhale deeply, drinking in his scent, the only tangible anchor in this swirling chaos.

He cradles me in his arms, warmth radiating from him, a stark contrast to the biting cold I had felt earlier. I remember the moment I had opened my eyes outside, only to close them again, overwhelmed by the brightness of the streetlights. I had sunk deeper into the luxurious leather of his car seats, surrendering to the comfort of his presence before he had carried me inside.

Now, as he ascends the stairs, I cling to him, my heart thudding loudly in my chest. His steady heartbeat reverberates through his chest, a reassuring rhythm that I focus on, trying to ground myself amidst the haze.

I’m surprised that he seems to know exactly which door leads to my bedroom, but I don’t question it. The door swings open with a gentle push from his back, and I remain wrapped around him, my arms draped around his neck like a vine clinging to its support. The contrast between us is striking—he is a towering figure, muscular and strong, while I feel diminutive in comparison, almost fragile.

His gaze drops to me, and instinctively, I shut my eyes, feeling exposed under his scrutiny. “How long have you been awake?” he asks, his voice low and smooth.

“Been on and off sleep,” I reply, my voice barely above a whisper. The brief moments of slumber have cleared some of the fog from my mind, and I can articulate my thoughts better than earlier. He seems to notice the change; his brows furrow slightly in concern.

“You sound like a fucking dream,” he murmurs, and I blink in surprise. A dream? The word reverberates in my mind, igniting a blush that creeps across my cheeks. That’s exactly how this feels—like a surreal dream where everything is fast-paced and disorienting, where you only realize the power to alter the course of events once you awaken.

“Ready for bed?” he asks, and I nod, unable to find my voice.

He gently lays me down on my bed, pulling the covers up to my abdomen with a tenderness that contrasts with his earlier intensity. I watch him, mesmerized, as his thumb brushes against my lower lip, coaxing it open. My mouth falls slightly ajar, a silent invitation. His hand glides down my neck, and I swallow hard, electricity surging through me at his touch. My eyes widen, glazed with a mix of confusion and desire.

“Don’t get this drunk again, baby,” he whispers, his tone laced with a familiarity that both comforts and confuses me. My mind wrestles with the puzzle of his words, urging me to piece together this moment instead of simply surrendering to it. Yet, the alcohol dulls my senses, forcing my brain to send a signal that compels me to ask, “Have we met?”

He inhales deeply, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. “That voice. Can you moan with it?”

“I—er—” My thoughts spiral for a moment, caught off guard by his provocative question.

“Yes, we’ve met,” he confirms, his gaze unwavering. “But we haven’t kissed yet.”

“Then do we kiss now?” I ask, a hint of delirium lacing my words.

A muscle in his jaw twitches, a sign of his restraint. “Will you remember it?”

“I don’t know,” I admit, the truth swirling in my mind. Perhaps it’s better that I don’t recall these decisions.

“You have to remember, little siren,” he says, his voice low and compelling. “I am not a one-night stand, no matter how this may seem right now. I’m not just your next; I’m your final destination. After me, there will be no one else. You can call me your end.”

My lashes flutter as I process his words, but the weight of his declaration leaves me momentarily speechless. If there had been any words left in me, they would have fled, for in that instant, his lips claim mine.

He pulls my bottom lip between his teeth, biting down just enough to elicit a surprised gasp from me. His tongue slips past my lips, igniting a rush of pleasure that courses through my body. It dances with mine, exploring every crevice, every contour, sending waves of ecstasy crashing over me. I moan, the sound swallowed by the intensity of our kiss. By the time he pulls away, my lips are swollen and tingling.

He trails soft kisses down my neck, and I can feel my breath hitching, the anticipation building. My heart beats wildly, not from fear, but from sheer arousal, a primal desire that consumes me. When his mouth finds my shoulder, he bites down gently, a sharp sensation that mingles with pleasure, and I can’t help but moan again.

“Fuck. That is even better than when you say words,” he murmurs, biting again, coaxing another moan from my lips. His kisses are intoxicating, each one sending shivers down my spine.

I’ve never experienced anything like this before. In moments, I find myself utterly consumed, my body responding eagerly to his every touch. But just as quickly as the moment ignites, he pulls away, placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” he says, rising from the bed.

My brows furrow in confusion. “At the club?”

“No, I will be telling you when you’re sober. But we will definitely be meeting tomorrow.”
