"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GODDAMMIT."

After Dylan's shocking confession. Both went silent. Luna's breathing caught in her throat while Dylan was breathing heavily. His veins were popping out of his neck. His jaw was clenched showing how angry he is. He wasn't angry at her. He was angry at himself.

Yes, he wanted to tell her about his feelings but not like this. He wanted to win her trust. Win her first and then wanted to tell her but that was just not written to happen.

They both were staring in each other's eyes. Only the sound of breathing could be heard in the room. Dylan and Luna's face was so close that they could feel their breath on each other's lips. His hands were holding her wrist but not really hard but still enough to keep them in one place.

" What." A whisper left from Luna's lips. Her wavy breath came in contact with Dylan's lips. He left her hands and started to caress her cheek with his one hand.

" Yes, I love you. I love you so much. That you can't even imagine. I loved you the first day I saw you in your apartment. Sleeping on that couch curling in a ball. Looking like a small beautiful angel. I----"

She interrupted his sentence by pushing him away from her. He fell on the bed and she stood up from the bed. A mocking and sarcastic laugh left from her lips.

"Love. Love. LOVE. You call this love." Tears started to stream down but she roughly wiped them not wanted to cry in front of him.

"You don't hurt the one you love. You don't slut-shame the one you love. You don't take advantage of the misery of the one you love. YOU DON'T DESTROY THE ONE YOU LOVE DYLAN MATHEWS."

Dylan froze in his place on the bed. He was sitting on the bed froze at his place when he heard her words. Her words were like a knife stabbing him again and again right in his heart.

"You never loved me. You only wanted to have me. And again you only want my body. You're not in love Dylan. You're obsessed. You crave for my body only. You disgust me so much."

Dylan's head shot up towards her. He stood in front of her and grabbed her arms pulling her towards him harshly. The force of his pulling her was too strong that she bumped on his muscular chest. Her hands dropped on his shoulders.

His face was only inches away from her. His eyes were throwing daggers at her clearly indicating that he didn't like her words not even a bit.

"You're questing my love now. For fucking two years I went around you like a puppy wanted to have you. Your attention but you ignored me and kept on rejecting me. I know. I know I was wrong. But I was too selfish to see the real truth in front of me."

He pulled her closer to the extent that his lips were touching hers. He grabbed the back of her neck to make her face to face with him. She was tiptoed just to reach his face level.

"I know I ignored my feelings and try to bury them when I saw you in that club. I thought you were just my obsession. And just a madness to have you once. But I was wrong. I was too wrong. I understood my love for you the day I saw your puffy eyes and ruined body. The day I sinfully ruined you. I knew. Confessing to you after that wouldn't get me anyway but I still did."

"But I was wrong. I was wrong about everything. But what should I do now. I can't turn that time back. But I am here and trying to make things right. Why can't you just let me be here. Don't forgive me yet. Don't give me a chance but at least let me try. I love you. I really do." He said in a calm but stern voice.

"And why can't you understand and you can't make everything right. You can't mend a broken glass, Dylan. You can't help me. No one cant. You can't make my messed up life right."

"I can. I will. You just have to trust my love for you Luna. You just have to understand that I serious for you. I love you. My love is real. I---"

"BUT I DON'T LOVE YOU DYLAN. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND. " She yelled in frustration right at his face making Dylan's soft expressions hardened. He glared at her but got the same glare from her. She roughly pushed him away making him fell on the bed.

"Listen and listen carefully, Dylan Mathews. Your words can't mend my broken soul. You want to help me. Then just forget me. And leave me alone. Just go back from where you came. That will be the most helpful thing you can ever do for me. Because a selfish person like you can't love someone."

She tried to walk away but her wrist got caught by a raging beast and he harshly pulled her on the bed. She gasped as he pushed her on the bed and hover above her.

"What are you doing. Let me go." She said trying to push him but he caught her wrists and pinned them on the bed. She was struggling to get out of his grip. Her already purplish hand started to hurt again as his grip was too strong for her.

"You think I can't love you. Then let me show you how a selfish person like me fell madly in love with you. " He said and tried to kiss her but she moved her head aside making his lips came to contact with her cheek.

But that didn't stop him. He grabbed her both wrists and pinned them above her head using his one hand and grabbed her cheek with others. He squeezed her cheeks making her lips into a small pout. He smashed his rough lips on her soft ones pulling her in a bruising kiss.

Dylan always had anger issues but not as bad as Hunter's. But still, in anger, his mind sometimes stopped working properly. At this time. He got trigger at her words because a painful memory of his past flashed in front of his eyes.

Luna was still struggling as he was abusing her luscious lips with his beasty teeth. He tried to make her open her mouth but she refused it. He pulled her head up a little and went towards her milky neck which had a bandage on it.

Her pink lips were swollen because of his kiss. A painful cry left from her lips as he bit the bandaged mark. It was still fresh and the teeth mark was still visible on her skin. That's why she bandaged it.

Dylan's blank mind was unable to hear her cries and feel her struggles. He was sucking harder making purplish marks on her neck. He roughly slightly ripped her shirt revealing her collarbone and shoulder. He hungrily attacked her collarbone and shoulder sucking and biting it.

His mind was so much blank that he didn't even care to notice fading marks that Hunter gave her. But soon his senses came back when he heard a loud sob and no movement under him.

His face was buried in her neck. He gulped when he realized what he was doing. He pulled his face up and stared at Luna's face damped in tears. Her swollen lips and few bite marks on her neck. There was a little blood on the bandage showing that her wound got ripped again because of his reckless action.

She was sobbing but stopped moving like she had given up. She opened her bloodshot eyes meeting his dark orbs full of guilt.

"Why. Why you stopped. Isn't it what you wanted. Then go ahead. Have me. Satisfy yourself. Destroy me again. Fulfill your so-called madness and then, please. Just please go back. Leave me just like you did before."

She said while chocking on her every word. Dylan's heart dropped down. He pushed himself away from Luna and pulled her up making her stumble because she was feeling too weak because of the struggles and cries. He picked her up as a bridal style making her gasp out.

"I know I am an idiot. An idiot who always try to show you my love but end up hurting you. But you have no idea. That the more I hurt you. The more it kills me."

"Then stop this. Stop hurting me. And killing yourself. Let us be away from each other because we are toxic for each other."

Dylan chuckled and started to walk towards his living room." I know. We are." He placed her on the sofa and carefully changed the bloody bandage. Also applied ointment on her swollen hand. He stared in her sad eyes.

"I know we are toxic for each other. But what should I do. Because no matter what I do. I can't live without this intoxicant."

"And this intoxicant is you. My princess."

Addiction is bad. But not when you're in love because addiction of love so a healer itself.
