She woke with the taste of starlight still on her lips.

The night had been a blur of ecstasy—his mouth on her throat, his hands coaxing shudders from her body until she thought her bones would turn to mist. Even now, as dawn light filtered faintly through the trees, her thighs trembled with the ghost of his touch. Every breath carried a strange sweetness, as though her lungs were full of fae wine.

For a moment, she wondered if it had been a dream. The forest was quiet. The moss beneath her cheek was damp with morning dew. No fae prince lounged nearby. No glitter of inhuman eyes watched her. Only the ache between her legs and the soreness in her lips told her otherwise.

Then she saw it.

On the inside of her wrist, where he had pressed his mouth last night, a mark gleamed faintly in the morning light. Not a bruise, nor a bite—something stranger. A symbol inked beneath her skin, glowing faintly gold before dimming as her gaze lingered on it. It looked like curling vines, entwined into th

  • Craving Forbidden Pleasures    Chapter 8: The Danger of Exposure

    The office felt different the next morning. Colder. Sharper.Ava sat at her desk, typing numbers into a report she could barely focus on. Every keystroke sounded too loud, every glance from passing coworkers felt like suspicion. The air hummed with unspoken tension, as if the walls themselves had watched her on the leather couch in Dominic’s office last night.She had left his suite close to midnight, her lipstick smeared, her body tender in ways she couldn’t disguise. She’d showered until her skin burned, but no amount of hot water could scrub his fingerprints from her. Now, in the bright light of day, the risk of discovery loomed like a shadow at her back.Across the room, Clara Jensen from HR walked by. She was tall, meticulous, the kind of woman who spotted details others overlooked. Ava’s stomach dropped when Clara’s gaze flicked briefly to her neck, lingering for just a second too long. Ava adjusted her collar, heart hammering.She knows. God, she knows.But Clara said nothing.

  • Craving Forbidden Pleasures    Chapter 7: The Pull of Chains

    The night pressed heavy against the windows of Blackwell Tower, the glass shimmering with the reflection of the city below. Ava sat at her desk long after the others had gone, the silence wrapping her like a shroud. She told herself she was catching up on reports. She told herself she was waiting for traffic to thin before heading home.But the truth was simpler, darker.She was waiting for him.Her phone lay facedown beside her laptop, but she could feel it, as if the screen pulsed with an invisible heartbeat. Every second she resisted checking it was torture. Every second she imagined the message that might appear, summoning her, claiming her.When it finally buzzed, her body jolted as though struck by lightning.My office. Ten minutes.Her breath caught. It wasn’t a question. It never was.Her rational mind screamed at her to leave, to grab her bag, to run home and never look back. But her body—her treacherous, hungry body—was already standing, smoothing her skirt, fixing her hair

    The intercom’s static crackled like a lightning strike, snapping the fragile cocoon Ava and Dominic had built around themselves."Mr. Blackwell, your 9:00 a.m. board meeting is arriving early."The voice was steady, professional—completely unaware of the scene unfolding behind the polished glass doors.Ava froze beneath him. Her body was still slick, trembling from the storm he’d unleashed moments ago, her skirt bunched indecently at her waist. She wanted to move, to cover herself, but her legs wouldn’t obey. The aftershocks of pleasure still held her captive.Dominic didn’t flinch. His hands remained firmly on her hips, his body still pressed into hers. A smirk curved his mouth as though even being caught mid-act was a game he had already planned to win.His forehead brushed hers, his breath ragged. “I hope you brought a change of clothes,” he murmured, voice husky with satisfaction. “Because we’re just getting started.”Her stomach flipped. He said it so casually, as though it were

  • Craving Forbidden Pleasures    Chapter 5: The Afterhours

    The city outside the glass tower glittered like spilled jewels, but Ava felt no shine in her chest as she stepped out of Blackwell Industries. The revolving doors hissed closed behind her, cutting off the scent of leather, coffee, and Dominic. She clutched her bag tightly, her pulse still uneven, as though she were carrying a secret flame no one could see.The cool night air kissed her cheeks. Taxi lights streaked by, horns blared, and laughter spilled from a nearby rooftop bar. Life went on, oblivious. Yet Ava felt suspended between two worlds—one where she was the composed young woman her parents had raised, and another where she was being devoured, piece by piece, by a man who owned more than just her body.She hated herself for trembling at the memory of his hands on her. For the way her thighs pressed together involuntarily as she walked, her body remembering him too well. Her need of him increasing with each passing second. She hated to admit it but that was the truth. Her apar

    The sound of footsteps faded down the hall, leaving only silence.Ava sat frozen on the edge of the desk, her blouse gaping open, her hair mussed, her thighs still trembling from what Dominic had just done to her. The torn lace of her panties lay like evidence on the floor between them.Her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath. The taste of him still lingered on her lips. The scent of sex clung to the air, heavy and undeniable.What had she just allowed to happen?Her hands trembled as she reached for her blouse, fumbling with what buttons remained intact. But her fingers were clumsy, useless. She could barely look at him.Dominic, on the other hand, was unbothered. Calm. His tie was still loose, his shirt half-unbuttoned, his dark hair mussed in a way that somehow made him look even more dangerous. He leaned casually against the glass wall, watching her with the same intensity he always did, as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened.“You’re shaking.” His voice was

    The cold tile bit into Ava’s knees, but she barely registered the sting. All she could feel was the heat radiating from Dominic as he stood above her, belt undone, his hand wrapped firmly around the thick length of his arousal.Her lips parted involuntarily. He was bigger than she expected—thicker, heavier, the kind of man who would never ask, only take. The sight alone made her thighs clench, shame and desire warring in equal measure. She had never seen a man with such a big ferocious tool before. And she had to admit tggat ashe wondered Hiw it would feel having him inside her. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and unreadable. “Open,” he ordered.Her pulse leapt.It wasn’t a suggestion. It wasn’t even an invitation nor an option. It was a command, sharp as the click of a lock. The order itself causing heat to flush through her inner thighs. And she obeyed. Slowly, nervously, she opened her mouth.Dominic’s groan was low, guttural, as he guided himself forward, the tip brushing her lip
