25 The Only Light Ism Willing to Get Burned (1/2)

”Shit! Stella, wake up, baby!” Ivano jerked his head away before giving me light taps on the cheek. ”Stella!”

”I'm tired, Ino.” I slurred as my eyes began to drop.

”No! Don't sleep! Shit! Wake up, Stella! Damnit! Don't go there again, please. Baby! I love you, sweetheart. Please wake up!”

My eyes flew open again before staring at him. ”You really mean that?”

”That I love you? Of course I do!”

”When? How?” I frowned at him before I prompted him again. ”What happened to us during your time, Ivano? Please I have to know.”

”You don't need to know. It's bad. That's why I don't want you to go back there.”

”Bad, how?” I stared at him before I gasped. ”Oh, my God. You killed me, didn't you?”

”What? No! why would I do that?”

”Then what happened? I want to know. I need to know!” I demanded as I glared up at him. ”If you don't want me to go back there, then tell me what happened. It's going to take my attention away from sleeping and time traveling.”

Ivano bared his teeth and it's then I noticed his fangs. I stared at it in awe before reaching up to graze my thumb over it. He jerked his head away but it's already too late. My skin was cut and blood instantly flowed out. Oh, wow. It really was so sharp. I leaned up to kiss him but Ivano just leaned away again.

”Let me kiss you!” I pouted.
