Chapter 373 In The Darkness.
But who cares? <b>Maybe</b>… Perhaps Kallum has already given up, seeing that I remained unmoved <i>by </i>his efforts?
<b>Calista </b>felt inexplicably irritated. She shook her head and headed toward the house she had rented. Since a housekeeper had already cleaned it, she could move in immediately.
Looking at the quaint country–style mansion before her, <b>she </b>realized that this would be her temporary <b>home </b>in the future.
The mansion consisted of just one bedroom, a study, and a practice <b>room</b>–three rooms in total. It used to be home to a young couple. Although it was said to be two stories, it was actually just one. <b>In </b>order to <b>maintain </b>their privacy and undisturbed world of two, they didn’t even set up a guest room. This time, they decided to rent out their house because they were nning to go on a long–term trip.
For Calista, this ce was quite suitable. If the house was toorge<b>, </b>she didn’t feel secure living in it.
Since only the downstairs bathroom had a bathtub, Calista <b>had </b>taken a bath there before heading upstairs. By the time she entered her room, she was already quite exhausted. Therefore, she didn’t bother <b>turning </b>on the lights and simply copsed onto the bed.
But the moment she fell down, she jolted back up as if she’d been electrocuted.
There was someone on the bed!
Though she was quick, someone was even quicker. A shadowy figure swiftly scooped up Calista into his arms. With a swift roll onto the romantic circr bed, he had her pinned underneath him.
Upon catching a whiff of the familiar scent, Calista <b>gave </b>the other party <b>a </b>swift thump in a fit of frustration.
“Kallum! What are you doing here<b>?</b>”
Her heart was pounding wildly.
In the darkness, Kallum chuckled softly. “Why can’t I be here? From now on, we’re roommates!”
“Are you kidding me?” Calista’s temper red up a bit. “I signed a contract with thendlord!”
Kallum spoke with a hint of smugness. “But what can you do? I’ve already bought this house. I bet even if you try calling them tomorrow, they won’t pick up. So, you might as well save your energy!”
Calista <b>was </b>speechless. “You… bought <b>it</b>?”
“Exactly!” Although Kallum was joking, his tone was surprisingly firm. “Wherever you decide to live in the future, I’ll buy a house there. If you buy a ce, I’ll purchase the one across from you. You won’t be able to <b>escape </b>from me for the rest of your life, Callie.”
Calista was at a loss for how to face him anymore.
She closed her eyes briefly. No wonder Kallum <i>let </i>me <i>go </i>so easily. <i>He </i>was waiting for me here all along… <i>D</i><i>*</i>mn it!
How despicable!

When she was angry, her voice was full of vitality. Kallum really enjoyed teasing her, especially when she lost control.
“You better not move around too much.”
In the darkness, Kallum’s body grew increasingly warm, causing Calista’s skin, wherever he shudder.
He took a light sniff of her, speaking with restrained patience.

“Otherwise, I really can’t hold back anymore.”
It was only then that Calista realized she hade upstairs draped on/ in a bath towel. Despite not being able to see anything during their interaction, it felt as though Kallum had taken full advantage of the
situation.
Calista, in extreme annoyance, responded with a sarcastic scoff.
“Get out <b>of </b>my sight!”
“No, this is my home.”
“Then, I’m leaving!”
“I won’t let you leave.”
“Kallum!” Calista forcefully pushed him and sat up. “You’re shameless!”
Kallum, however, didn’t see it that way. He sat up, casually ruffling <b>his </b>hair in an unintentionally <b>alluring </b>way. His voice carried <b>an </b>underlying threat.
“Do you know? I can sink even lower<b>.”</b>
Calista was about to say something but <b>was </b>silenced as Kallum expertly grasped her <b>chin</b>.
At night, she was blind, aplication that had emerged after contracting a virus. However, Kallum was not. His gaze was intense as he watched Calista, her skin still glowing in the darkness, his throat bobbing.
“You’d best not test the patience of a wolf, especially when it’s hungry.”
The suppressed tone in his voice frightened Calista, for she realized that Kallum was not <b>joking</b>. He was truly enduring a great deal of hardship.
She couldn’t help but hug herself tighter. This seemingly vulnerable gesture, however, only served to fuel her opponent’s fervor.
In the darkness, Kallum’s breath quickened. With his vision, the sight of the beautyid bare before him was enough to drive anyone mad.
“Callie…”
He called out her name in a low, husky voice, kneeling with his head bowed. Lifting her chin, he longed to kiss her<b>.</b>

“If you don’t <b>behave</b>, I’ll ‘devour you tonight. I believe you haven’t forgotten what you promised me that night at the amusement park.”
Only then did <b>Calista </b>recall <b>that </b>day when she said… If Kallum found her before midnight, she would be his for the <b>night</b>.
Calista, with a defiant tilt of her chin, said, “We were both infected back then. Now, are you trying to get re–infected?”
“Heh<b>…</b>
Since Calista couldn’t see, the man’s deepughter was all the more maddening. His hands mischievously toyed with her hair, speaking in a dangerous tone.
“So, you’re saying, as long <b>as </b><b>I </b>can avoid getting infected, you’ll agree to my proposal?”
The areas his breath touched sparked a shudder within her. Calista suddenly bit her lower lip, unable to speak. Because she believed there was <b>a </b>chance that Kallum actually <b>had </b>a solution.
Seeing her finally realize her fear, Kallum’s smile broadened. His eyes ignited with a purple me as he asked in a hushed tone.
“Now, are you going to behave or not?”
“I…”
Calista feigned hesitation, but in the next moment, she made a sudden move to break free. However, Kallum urately caught her hand.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
