INICIAR SESIÓNI took a sip of the drink he handed me, wincing at the burn as it slid down my throat. “I don’t think this is a good idea,” I mumbled, eyeing the crowd. “Nonsense,” Lucien said, throwing back his drink with ease. “You need this. You’re too tense, too in your head. Let loose for once.” I sighed, leaning back in my chair. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one with Lucifer breathing down your neck.” Lucien snorted. “Oh, believe me, I’ve had my fair share of his brooding. But you? You’ve got it worse because you actually care what he thinks.” That hit a nerve, and I glared at him. “I don’t care what he thinks.” “Sure you don’t.” Lucien leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “That’s why you’ve been sulking since we left the mansion.” “I’m not sulking.” “Right. And I’m not devastatingly handsome.” Despite myself, I let out a laugh, shaking my head.
I felt a surge of defiance rise within me, fueled by a sense of injustice that had been simmering for far too long. I took a step toward him, meeting his gaze with a fire of my own. “You have no right to talk to me like that!” My voice was unsteady but fierce, and I felt a thrill of rebellion as I shouted back, “Not after what you did!” His frown deepened, confusion flickering across his features as he processed my words. “What I did?” he echoed, his tone sharp, challenging. “Do you see me kissing another woman right after sleeping with you?” “That’s different!” The words tore from me before I could stop them, fueled by the hurt and anger that had been simmering inside me. “You don’t get to ignore me, avoid me, and then act like I owe you something!” I was trembling, my hands clenched at my sides as I took another step toward him. “I didn’t mean anything by it. But you…” My voice wavered, betraying the pain I’d tried so hard to hide. “You left without a
I froze, stunned. The coldness of his words cut me deeper than I wanted to admit. I took a shaky breath, clinging to the scraps of my dignity, but I couldn’t hold back any longer. The walls I’d put up around myself, the resolve to ignore him—all of it crumbled. I didn’t even wait to hear him out. Without another word, I turned on my heel and left the dining room, my fists clenched so tight my nails bit into my palms. I didn’t stop walking until I was outside, the fresh air hitting me like a slap. My anger was a storm, wild and uncontained, and I barely noticed where I was going until I stumbled into the garden. I felt a sharp pain in my throat, a knot I couldn’t swallow down as I tried to control the sob that rose up from somewhere deep and raw inside me. The tears started again, hot and stinging, and this time I didn’t stop them. I let them fall, my chest heaving as I leaned against the garden wall, trying to catch my breath. I felt so… small, so utt
I couldn't control it. The feeling that surged through me wasn’t just lust. It was something far more dangerous. My control, my discipline—it was slipping, shattering in the wake of whatever Selene had awakened inside me. And the worst part was, I didn’t want it to stop. I wanted to feel it again. I wanted her again. But this wasn’t like before. This wasn’t some fleeting craving, easily satisfied and forgotten. No, this was different. This was raw and primal, a hunger that gnawed at me, refusing to be ignored. And I hated it. I hated the way it made me feel—weak, vulnerable, out of control. I slammed my fist against the mirror, but it didn’t shatter. The reflection wavered, distorted by the force of the blow, but it held firm, just as I should be doing. I should be able to push these feelings aside, to compartmentalize, to remain in control. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Her touch, her s
he looked so determined to have me. Everything seem to melt, all my hatred and anger were gone when he forcefully kissed me, I don't want this but my body stop struggling, my hands move to his hair instead of pushing him back, I pull him close... Even this time, he still have some sort of control over my body. Lucifer break the kiss, our gaze remain on one another as we catch our breath " I do not like this " " Your body is saying something else " his fingers touch my nipple and I bite my tongue to stop me from gasping, I haven't recovered fully from that before his mouth take one of them. I gasp loudly, I had no idea my body was this sensitive, I felt his tongue, how he gently sucked and bite... I had no idea what I was feeling anymore, all I knew was that I wanted more.... I need more Lucifer parts my legs and very softly plunges his tongue inside me, licks and sucks my bud. I lose every sense
He held my gaze, his tone almost mocking. “Giving you to me,” he said, his voice unyielding, without a trace of remorse. The words hit me like a punch to the gut, winding me. All the fury that had fueled me now twisted into something far colder, far more painful. I stumbled back a step, struggling to comprehend the enormity of what he was saying. Giving me to him. My parents’ lives—the lives of my family—had been the price for some deal, some cruel arrangement, one that had left me with nothing but scars and shattered memories. “Giving me to you?” I repeated, my voice hollow. I looked at him, trying to see any hint of remorse, any sign that this was all a terrible mistake, that the man before me might have a shred of humanity, of decency. But his face was stone, cold and unrelenting. “Yes, giving you to me,” he replied, as if it were the most logical thing in the world, as if I were nothing more than a piece in his game. My
He came at 12:03 a.m. exactly. Lila had spent the last hour watching the digital clock on her nightstand, the red numbers burning into her retinas. She had been naked for a long time, the air in the room beginning to feel heavy and static. Her heart was hammering so hard she could feel the thud o
Lila Voss turned the deadbolt at 11:47 p.m. The click was a finality she looked forward to every single day. Behind her, the city lights of Lagos bled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long, bruised shadows across the hardwood. The glow looked like spilled ink, staining the expensive fur
Lila woke to the sound of nothing. The room was flooded with the kind of bright, aggressive sunlight that only exists in Lagos, cutting through the floor-to-ceiling glass in wide, blinding strips. She reached out a hand, expecting to find the heat of a body or the rough texture of a shirt, but the b
The fourth night, there was no teasing. There were no games, no silk ropes, and no long, whispered monologues designed to make her head spin. The air in the room felt different the moment he stepped through the glass—heavier, charged with a blunt, honest hunger that did away with the need for a slow
