The Lies He Kissed Me With
Iris never imagined that love could feel so intoxicating… or so dangerous. From the moment she met Adrian, his charming smile and irresistible presence drew her in, making her forget caution and reason. On the surface, he seemed perfect — attentive, flirtatious, and seemingly devoted. But behind that captivating exterior lurked secrets she could never have predicted.
What began as stolen glances and playful conversations soon escalated into something far more intense — a forbidden affair neither of them could resist. Every kiss came with a hidden truth, every touch with a lie waiting to be uncovered. As Iris is pulled deeper into Adrian’s world, she discovers that his intentions are far from pure, and that their passionate connection masks a darker, more controlling side.
When the truth of his deceptions surfaces, Iris is forced to confront a harsh reality: love can be manipulative, suffocating, and even dangerous. Their entanglement spirals into a toxic dance of desire and betrayal, challenging everything she believed about loyalty, trust, and the boundaries of the heart.
Caught between temptation and self-preservation, Iris must decide whether surrendering to Adrian’s magnetic pull is worth the heartbreak it could bring — or if walking away from the man who has consumed her thoughts, her body, and her emotions is the only way to survive.
The Lies He Kissed Me With is a gripping, 18+ dark romance about toxic love, hidden agendas, and the fine line between passion and destruction. It is a story of obsession, betrayal, and the dangerous allure of a love built on lies — a story readers will not be able to put down until the very last chapter.

Chapter: CHAPTER 20 – RESOLUTION & CLOSUREThe dawn broke quietly over the city, but for Iris, the night had left its mark. She sat on the edge of her bed, hands still trembling slightly, mind replaying the events of the last twenty-four hours. The confrontation, the fear, the adrenaline, the knowledge of Damien’s past — it all pressed against her chest. Yet beneath the exhaustion, there was a seed of strength, fragile but undeniable. She had survived. Not just survived, but acted. She had participated in the battle, contributed to their safety, and learned something essential about herself — she was stronger than she had ever imagined. ⸻ Damien entered without knocking, quiet as ever, yet every movement spoke volumes. He carried no weapons, no tension, just the calm, steady presence that had become her anchor. “You’re awake,” he said softly. “I… I couldn’t sleep,” she admitted. “Too many thoughts.” He nodded, sitting beside her. “Understandable. What happened last night… it’s not something anyone forgets easily. B

Chapter: CHAPTER 19 – THE CONFRONTATIONThe city seemed quieter than usual, but Iris knew better. Danger had a rhythm — a heartbeat — and tonight, it was fast, insistent. She paced the room, glancing at the locked windows, counting each shadow. Her mind replayed Damien’s words: “They will come. You must be ready.” Her heart hammered. She had practiced calm, practiced fear management, but tonight, the reality was unavoidable. They were here. ⸻ Damien’s voice broke through her thoughts. “Stay close. Follow my lead. Do not panic.” She obeyed instinctively, the trust she had developed over the past chapters keeping her grounded. He led her through a series of corridors, the sound of his boots muted but precise. Every movement had a purpose; every turn, every glance calculated. She realized that in his world, hesitation could mean death. ⸻ Outside, the van was waiting — a black silhouette against the streetlights, tinted windows reflecting the moon. But this time, it wasn’t just two men. There were four, all armed, all m

Chapter: CHAPTER 18 – EMOTIONAL STORM The night air pressed heavily against Iris as she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. The letter, the van, the attackers, the secrets — it all swirled in her mind like a storm she couldn’t escape. Her chest tightened, and tears threatened to spill, though she refused to let them. Her phone buzzed. A message from Damien: “Stay calm. I am close. Do not move until I arrive.” Her hands trembled. She had wanted to text him, to beg him to explain everything, but the words stuck in her throat. Fear and frustration battled inside her. How could someone be so calm while she felt like the world was falling apart? ⸻ Her mother knocked softly before entering. “Iris… dinner’s ready?” Iris shook her head, barely acknowledging her. Her mother’s eyes were full of worry. “You’re not sleeping… You’ve been… distant.” “I’m fine,” Iris whispered, though her voice was brittle. Her mother lingered a moment, concern etched across her face, before leaving. Alone again, Iris pre

Chapter: CHAPTER 17 – SHADOWS OF THE PASTThe night wrapped the city in a quiet blanket, but for Iris, silence was impossible. Every car that passed, every pedestrian in the shadows, felt like a threat. She sat in the car Damien had provided, her hands clenched tightly in her lap, staring out at the dimly lit streets.Damien’s presence was beside her, calm and controlled, as if the danger around them didn’t exist. But Iris could feel it — the tension in his shoulders, the subtle tightening of his jaw when a shadow moved too quickly. He was always alert, always calculating.“You’re quiet,” Damien finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was steady, cold, but there was an edge to it — a weight that made her shiver.“I’m trying to understand,” she admitted. “Why… why is this happening to me? To us?”Damien didn’t answer immediately. He drove carefully, eyes scanning every street. “It’s not just about you. It’s never just about one person. This world… my world… it’s dangerous, Iris. And it touches everyone I care about.”She

Chapter: CHAPTER 16 – THE FIRST STRIKEhe sun was barely rising, and the streets were still empty when Iris stepped out of her house. She had promised herself she would be careful, that she would stay alert. The letter she received at the café still sat in her pocket like a burning reminder — someone was watching, someone was planning. Her heartbeat was loud, insistent. Every shadow seemed to twist, every sound magnified. She kept checking behind her, as if movement could signal the start of something terrible. It didn’t take long. A van, black and unmarked, rolled slowly up the street. The engine was quiet, too quiet, and the tinted windows reflected the rising sun. Her pulse jumped. Something about the vehicle screamed danger. Before she could react, the van stopped abruptly, blocking the path in front of her. Two figures stepped out — large, confident, and clearly trained. Their eyes scanned the street, and their attention settled on her immediately. Fear surged. Her legs froze. Iris’s mind screamed, Run! But bef
