The ballroom glimmered like a dream. Golden light spilled from a hundred chandeliers, bouncing off polished marble floors and shimmering against the velvet masks and jeweled gowns of the guests. Music drifted through the air, a sensual waltz that guided the sea of nobles in graceful patterns. The air smelled of roses and honeyed wine, thick with laughter, whispers, and the rustle of silk.

She stood at the edge of the crowd, her father’s crest stitched proudly into the corner of her gown. The Duke’s daughter was expected to shine here, to be admired, to be courted by suitors approved by her family. Yet beneath her jeweled mask, her lips parted in a quiet sigh. None of it stirred her. None of these perfumed men with polite words and hollow smiles quickened her heart.

Until she felt him.

He appeared without warning, moving through the crowd with the ease of a predator cloaked in velvet and gold. His mask was darker than the others, carved in the shape of a raven with sharp, sweeping line

  • 🔞Crimson Temptations: Velvet Lips of Erotic Obsession    Chapter Eleven: The Frost King’s Claim 🔞🔞

    The kingdom of Thessara had bowed to winter.Snow swallowed the southern banners as they were taken down from the palace walls and replaced with the crest of the Frost King. Torches guttered in the wind, their flames fighting the cold that seemed to move with a will of its own. The air bit at every breath. No one dared to speak above a whisper. The invaders had not needed to topple the walls with fire. They had frozen the land into silence and waited for surrender.Princess Elowen of Thessara waited in the grand hall where once feasts and music flourished. Now tapestries hung dull and lifeless, and the braziers burned low. She stood before the long table in a gown of white and silver that shimmered like frost. It had been chosen for her by the queen, who no longer wept in front of others. Elowen’s hands were cold even through her gloves. Her father, the king, stood beside her with a face carved from defeat.The doors opened without warning.The Frost King entered without fanfare. He n

    She had not walked without pain since childhood. Every step had once been a careful prayer, every breath a reminder of how easily her bones could turn to splinters beneath her own weight. Seraphine had lived in silence for so long that she forgot what laughter felt like in her throat. Her world had been soft beds, hushed attendants, and the constant fear that a single misstep would leave her broken beyond repair. Until he came.Valerius arrived in her father’s hall like a quiet storm, robed in dark velvet and carrying the scent of smoke and rare herbs. He was not a healer by trade but an alchemist with a reputation steeped in whispers. Some called him a miracle worker, others a man who had bargained with forces mortals were never meant to touch. Her father had been desperate enough to summon him and desperate men rarely asked the cost before agreeing to a cure.He saw Seraphine only once before agreeing. His eyes were a strange shade of gray, catching light like polished metal. When h

    The palace kitchens smelled of roasted meat and honey bread, a scent that clung to the air like temptation. Servants bustled between pots and platters, their steps hurried as dawn prepared to give way to another day of courtly duties. Yet in the shadows near the storeroom, a slim figure moved, her hands trembling as she tucked a loaf of bread beneath her ragged shawl.Elara had not eaten in two days. Her belly pinched with hunger, her lips cracked from thirst, yet still she dared. The bread was warm against her chest, and for a moment she thought she might escape.A hand shot out, grabbing her wrist with cruel force.“Thief!” one of the guards bellowed, dragging her into the light. Her shawl slipped, revealing dirt-streaked cheeks and hair tangled from the streets. She struggled, her voice hoarse.“Please… just one piece. My brother is starving-“The guard shoved her forward. “The gall. To steal from the royal kitchens. You know the punishment.”Elara’s heart thudded. She expected the

    The bells of Valmere tolled through the night, deep and hollow, warning the city that danger had breached the outer walls. The streets below the castle were already chaos, fires blooming against the darkness, the clang of steel and the cries of the wounded carrying through the smoke-choked air. Inside the stone keep, Lady Elira stood by the window of her chamber, her pale hands clutching the sill, her eyes wide as she watched shadows move like swarms of ants through the streets.Her father, the Duke of Valmere, had told her she would be safe. The castle had never fallen in all its centuries. But fear did not listen to promises. Fear lived in her lungs, in the frantic beat of her heart, and it whispered that tonight everything would change.Behind her, the heavy door creaked open. Boots clicked against the marble floor, steady and measured. She knew the sound. Her body stiffened before she even turned.“Sir Kael,” she breathed.The knight filled the doorway, tall and broad, clad in bla

    The palace was silent, but silence could be deadly.Princess Selene lay in her chambers, the embroidered canopy of her bed a veil of comfort she could not feel. The ball had ended hours ago, yet sleep refused to come. The laughter of nobles, the music of harps, the sweet taste of wine still lingered faintly on her lips. She stared at the golden glow of the candle at her bedside, waiting for her body to yield to rest.It was then she heard it.A faint shift in the air. A creak of wood, so soft she would not have noticed if her heart had not already been restless. She sat up slowly, her silk gown slipping from her shoulder, her breath shallow. Her eyes darted toward the far corner of the room.And she saw him.A figure clothed in black, face half-hidden beneath a hood, stood in the shadows like a phantom. The dagger in his hand gleamed faintly in the candlelight, the curve of the blade cold and certain. His presence was suffocating, silent but vast, as if death itself had entered her ch
