Blurb

---

There are no words to explain what just happened between us. It is as if two souls found each other in the meths of millions of souls, recognised one another, and bonded for eternity.

As we lie there, wrapped in the afterglow of our connection, I feel a sense of peace and fulfilment that I have never known before. "Thank you for tonight," I whisper, my fingers tracing the lines of his face. "For showing me what it feels like to be truly loved."

The look of pure adoration in her eyes says it all. Now she gets it that I know she is my soulmate since the shop, and this connection between us is as inevitable as the sun rising in the sky every day. She is mine, and I am hers, and there is nothing that could stop the unavoidable bond that our souls have with each other. 

I wake up as the first light of the day filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow over the room. The first thing I realise is that I am hotter than usual. Something is pressing on my chest, and when I look down, I see her.

She is keeping me warm. I can literally feel my soul rejoicing at the fact that she is keeping me warm.

What an incredible sensation to be able to hold my life in my arms and for her to warm my body as my own blanket of love against the world. Her presence is soothing, a perfect fit against me, and the gentle rise and fall of her chest is a comforting rhythm that syncs with my own heartbeat.

As I gaze at her peaceful face, I know that my life and actions make me unworthy of this woman. But I don't give a f* because she is mine. I knew it the moment I heard her awful voice. Now she knows it as well, and she gave herself to me willingly, so there is no stopping this. 

She is mine! 

The woman in my arms is everything I have ever wanted and more. Her love, her strength, her vulnerability, all of it completes me in ways I never thought possible. Maybe one day she will learn to love my darkness as well, but until that day, I will make her love me more than reality itself.
