Sweet Aphrodite’s POV
　　His hug on me tightened then he pulled me closer. He is sleeping deeply. I gently caressed his face then I combed his soft hair with my fingers. His lips twitched a bit and he pulled me again even we are already impossibly close.
　　I fixed the blanket covering us as I enjoyed my view. It is nice watching him asleep. I lightly pressed my lips on him then I smiled. I was the first one to fall asleep after we made love and he probably watched me all night. Now, I am the first one to be awake and he is sleeping soundly.

　　Everything is perfect that I only have one wish. It is for us to remain this way. I wish things would never change. Problems in relationship are normal and I hope it is just light then we could fix it every time. I want him to be by my side always. I’ll be surely incomplete without him. I always want to feel him and touch him. I want his warmth near me although sometimes, he feels cold.
　　I closed my eyes for a while. We made love and it was amazing and passionate. Now, he is my everything. He is the only one that I want.
　　Leaving the bed became hard especially when he is tightening his hug every time I am trying to remove it. So, I readied a pillow and I quickly replaced myself with it. His forehead creased then he squeezed the pillow in his arms. If that was me, I’ll be probably grunting in pain.
　　Psh. Clingy.
　　I secured the ribbon of the robe I am wearing after I fixed my hair into a pony tail. Holding the knob of the door, I glanced at him for the last time before I left the room. My steps are small and slow. With my body a bit sore, I think the pain is bearable. I am feeling a slight discomfort on my femininity, too. I am glad that Lennox made me comfortable after we made love.
　　I cooked some bacon, sunny side up, hotdog, and rice. Lennox is a heavy eater but I don’t know if food is really essential to him knowing that he’s not a human. I brewed coffee for our drink.

　　I am already setting up the table when he came down. I can’t help but to stare at him in awe. The magnificent view of him is hard not to watch. His hair is messy and his eyes are tantalizing. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt and cotton pants, showing his immaculate built. His face lit up when our eyes met and I squealed when he suddenly transported in front of me in less than a second.
　　“Lennox!” I called him when he swiftly carried me on his arms. I didn’t expect it.
　　“Morning, baby,” he greeted me with his usual husky voice.
　　He kissed me on my cheek before he sat down on the chair with me on his lap.

　　“Lennox, there are a lot of chairs for me!” I said and tried to stand up.
　　He tightened his hold on me and he made me still on his lap. “You stay here, Sweet,” he gently said.
　　We started the day in a very clingy manner and maybe I should be used to this since I noticed that Lennox is pretty clingy on me. He always like to hold me, hug me, and he loves to cuddle so much. He is such a bear. Big but cuddly.
　　The next following days are bliss. They are the happiest moments in my life and I am more excited to the future days that we are going to spend together. Lennox treats me like a queen and I can’t ask for anything more. He is the best part of my life.
　　But one thing that I am not really complaining, maybe just a bit. He is really into lovemaking. I love it though but his energy is too much. I think he never gets tired. But I get tired after several rounds! Then I realized that I could tell him if I am already too tired. Fortunately, he stops when I say it but I can see on his face that he is not done yet and he was just following my words.
　　Lennox is pushing the cart while I am the one putting the essential items that we need. I rolled my eyes when a lot of women keep on staring at him and a lot of them are giggling. Can’t they see that I am here beside the man that they are drooling over?
　　I pouted.
　　“Baby, look what I got for you,” Lennox’s loud voice filled my ear.
　　My eyes widened and my cheeks heated. When I glanced at him, I saw him carrying a lot of sweets and chocolates. He put it in the cart. The girls sighed in dismay when they realized that we are together.
　　“Do you want more of that?” he asked, oblivious about the girls gawking at him.
　　A smile crept in my lips. “No, that is already a lot!”
　　His forehead creased. He stared on the items he just put. He looked at me again then held me on my waist. I blushed even more when I realized he is being clingy again in the public.
　　“What else do you want, hmm?” he asked seriously then he tucked the strands of my face behind my ear.
　　I shook my head. “T-that’s already fine. Get something for yourself. I’ll like anything you want,” I said.
　　“Anything is fine with me since I really don’t need food. So choose what you like so I could eat it with you,” he answered.
　　I sighed then smiled. “Fine.”
　　I thought of food that I could make him taste.
　　I glanced at him and I caught him busy, looking at food that I might like. I smirked when I thought of something. Could he find me fast?
　　While he is still busy, I walked away from him with big steps. I am glancing on him to make sure that he did not see him when I bumped to someone. I am already on the end of the aisle and I was about to take a turn.
　　“I’m sorry!” I immediately said.
　　“Damn it!” The familiar high pitched voice filled my air.
　　When I look to the person, I saw Daniella. Her twin is beside her, holding a cart. Her eyes widened when she realized that it is me then she smirked and raised her brow.
　　“Long time no see,” she said. Daniel remained serious.
　　“Yeah,” I said without any interest. I remembered what she did last time.
　　I was about to walk past them but Daniella stopped me by holding my hand. I shot my brow up to her.
　　“What?”
　　I thought her expression turned sad for a second but that must be my imagination.
　　“Where are you living now? We have not seen you for a while.”
　　I shrugged and removed her grip from me. “Just somewh---“
　　“Sweet.”
　　I glanced on Lennox who just came, still pushing the cart. He stood beside me and he put his arms on my waist then he kissed my forehead.
　　“Dark,” the twin said in unison.
　　I looked at him then my forehead creased when I saw them looking at Lennox like they recognized them with fear on their eyes.
　　“You know them?” I asked then glanced at Lennox. His dark expression told me that they are not in good terms.
　　“You are living with him, Sweet?” Daniella nervously asked.
　　Her eyes are wide while staring at me, waiting for my answer.
　　I nodded, still confused. “Yes, he is my---“
　　“I am her fiancé. I’ll be her husband,” Lennox said then he pulled me closer to him.
　　“No…” Daniella said then she went hysterical. “This can’t be!” Her twin brother tried comforting her.
　　“Why not? She is mine.”
　　Lennox pulled me even closer that I am already in front of him, my face pressed against his chest. The heavy tension made me nervous.
　　“The two of you can’t be together!” Daniella said.
　　“You have no say on our decision. Stop meddling your life and tell to your race not to do anything against me because I may do bad things that you witches would never accept. Fuck off!”
　　We left the scene. His grip on the handle of the cart is tight that the veins are protruding on his hands. He never let me go and even on the counter, he brought me beside him.
　　He remained silent even when we are already in the mansion. He seems lost in his thoughts while he’s helping me in arranging the items we bought from the supermarket.
　　“Lennox, how do you know them?” I asked when I can’t contain the curiosity anymore.
　　He sighed before he stopped what he is doing. The bone on his jaw moved as he gritted his teeth.
　　“The witches ruined my life. I did something bad on them and that is because they destroyed me first. But they never admitted it and for them, I am the only evil and they are innocent.”
　　“You are mad at them,” I stated the obvious.
　　His expression shows too much anger that it makes me chill. His gray eyes are on its darkest shade.
　　“I am not just mad at them. I abominate their entire race.”
　　I reached his arm and due to too much tense, he is already shaking a bit. When our eyes met, he closed it then he regulated his breathing. I hugged him and I gently caressed his back. He left a soft kiss on my forehead.
　　An excruciating pain on my nape suddenly attacked me. My knees wobbled because of the nerve-wrecking pain. I shouted in pain and touched it, hoping that it would lessen the pain but nothing happened. My vision went blurry and I became deaf for few seconds because of the pain. I fell on the ground and I lost my senses.
　　“Hush, baby…”
　　When my consciousness came back, I am already on Lennox’s arms but we are still on the floor of the kitchen. He wiped my tears away with his thumb. Concern and fear are all over his face.
　　“Where is the painful spot, my love?” he asked gently.
　　I sobbed uncontrollably. The pain subsided but there is still a bit of it. I pointed my nape.
　　He immediately helped me sit then made me turn my back on him. He pushed away my hair and let it rest on my shoulder. Beads of sweats are rolling down my body.
　　I felt his body froze. I touched his thigh to get his attention.
　　“Lennox?”
　　My gaze dropped on my hands then I saw blood all over it.
　　“What did you see?” I asked absentmindedly while staring at my hand.
　　Then a certain memory with Irene entered my mind.
　　“Baby, I think I already saw this in my world,” he said.
　　My lips parted in fear and anticipation.
　　“W-what is it?”
　　“Witch’s seal.”
