Chapter 247: Where Trouble Melts Like Lemon Drops

[KONSTANTIN]

"So, you’re just going to leave me again, hmm?" Tamiko mumbled slowly that Kosta could have missed it if he wasn’t holding on to the last bit of hope for them. It was like a breath of fresh air for the Lycan Chief and Kosta; he could have jumped for joy if he wasn’t so afraid of getting rejected by his Erasthai.

His fear had crippler him more than once and it was thought he would deny it because that was his worst nightmare. He had suffered for a long time, but he knew Tamiko had suffered worse than he had ever heard.

"Y... You want me to stay?" Kosta asked sheepishly.

"No, it’s okay. You do you," Tamiko said and that was all Kosta needed to take huge strides toward his Erasthai. He had missed the pretty boy so much that he was not sure there was anything else that could hold them back.

Standing there before Tamiko, Igor could feel his heart beating so loud. He wasn’t sure what this meant for the both of them, but the fact that there was no malice or anger in Tamiko’s eyes was giving him hope.

His Erasthai was letting him back in and he was not going to fuck this up. But at the same time, he needed to be sure. Since they had been Erasthais, Kosta had sworn to never invade his mate’s privacy.

He didn’t want to be the person Tamiko was ever uncomfortable around, and he didn’t want to be the one who made life harder for him. Granted, his kidnapping had crossed the t on the worst of them all, but Kosta was certain that he would never let that happen to him again.

He wouldn’t ever put Tamiko through that and hells be damned if he ever thought to mess with the person he loved more than life again.

"Is that an invitation, my beautiful?" Kosta asked carefully as he stared at the defiant deep black eyes that were eating at him. Tamiko was almost challenging him if he wasn’t already.

His shoulders had relaxed, a sign that he was okay with this and Kosta was reading me like an open book. He was licking his lips delicately like they had all the time in the world and it took every ounce of self-control in Kosta not to close the distance between them.

Tamiko had books in his hands, but Kosta had the sudden urge to take the books to the farthest end of the room just so there was nothing that stood between him and Tamiko.

Perhaps it was an insane line of thought, but Kosta had been going insane in the past few days.

He had been in pain and agony and the only one who could put an end to his misery was standing right before him, his lavender scent so pure and inviting that Kosta could have stayed there forever if Tamiko didn’t want to say anything.

He didn’t mind being an idiot for his Erasthai, because this man was his world and he couldn’t afford to lose him.

"I don’t know... is it?" Tamiko answered with a shrug before he turned to the shelves like he was determined to find the books on his mother. Of course, he was determined, but the caramel scent from his Erasthai was fucking with him.

Kosta smelled so sweet it was enticing. The fact that he wasn’t masking his scent was enough for Tamiko to know that his Erasthai really wanted to make amends with him. It was beautiful, how they were slowly helping each other to embrace who they were.

Tamko with Kosta’s mega nature and Kosta with Tamiko’s identity as the lacuna prince.

They were both dangerously high stakes and one wrong move would render the realm incapable of being livable, but here they were, in an old library with Sanji unconscious because of their bond.

It was quite the sight and Tamiko had lived what Kosta had.

It had soothed his heart and reminded him of why he had fallen for the mad Lycan Chief in the first place. The man never played when it came to Tamiko and that was the one thing that had remained a consideration even in their fights.

Granted, Tamiko had been a brat one too many times but right now, as they boatshed each other in, the young prince was more than willing to let go.

"Losing you... it’s breaking me," Kosta sighed defeatedly as he held onto his Erasthai’s face.

He knew he was being a coward with his admission, but what else could go wrong for them? He didn’t want to imagine a world where Tamiko was gone, because honestly, he had never felt that lost.

It had ruined him and everything he touched seemed too faced. He didn’t want to go through that again. Perhaps that was why he was so desperate to hold onto whatever was left of their bond.

Maybe he is reaching for the impossible, but surely Tamiko had to have noticed his misery. They were without each other at this point too, no? But was that convincing enough?

Would it ever make things a tad easier for them when the sun went down and they had to deal with the aftermath of their chaos? Was this ever going to be alright or was Kosta still holding onto to a dream that would ever come true?

"I love you so much, my soul. Always," Kosta breathed slowly.

"Would you ever... would you consider... y’know," Tamiko trailed off as he stared at Kosta. He needed an answer and maybe he was insane for even thinking of this, but Kosta had asked him for space.

Sure, they had never really given each other space but the fact that Kosta had considered it and disappeared with Akila the next day was enough to fuel Tamiko’s defeat.

It was something that he couldn’t control and while a part of him loved and trusted Kosta, the other part was scared of what life would’ve been like if Kosta ever chose someone over him.

The man had broken his heart twice, would he break it a third time by leaving Tamiko from someone he knew better than he knew Tamiko?

"I’ll kill Sanji. And you can’t stop me. I’m going to wring that fucking nut job till he can’t ever walk again. I’ll make sure he doesn’t get the eyesight for you. I’ll fuck him up.

"That little bastard," Kosta seethed as he turned to glare at Sanji’s unconscious body that was on the floor. It was crazy how one man had managed to plant a seed of doubt right at the time when they were the most fragile.

"That... that’s not an answer, Kosta... would you... If this... I don’t know... would you though?" Tamiko asked, his words coming out barely because he hated to even think of that possibility.

He would be so lost if Kosta ever left him, it was something that he didn’t know how to process and it was fucking with his mind in the worst of ways.

"Oh, baby. You’re everything I need, my soul. You’re my lifeline, krushka. Everything I do is for you. I live for you. I love you. I exist to love you. My entire being calls to you. My heart beats, for you.

"Why would I go looking for anyone when you’re the best thing that ever happened to me? Even in my fears, my soul belongs to you, with you and for you," Kosta reassured gently before asking, "Please, let me kiss you."
