I hadn’t even made it halfway up the stairs when I heard the sound of his footsteps behind me.

Slow. Steady. Intentional.

I didn’t turn.

I didn’t have to.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Lorenzo’s voice curled down my spine, low and dark and utterly male.

I stopped on the landing, lips twitching. “Back to my room.”

He took two more steps, closing the distance between us. I could feel the heat of his body behind mine, the restrained tension rolling off him like thunderclouds.

“You’re not going back to your room,” he said.

I raised a brow and turned halfway. “No?”

“No.” His jaw was tight, his eyes blazing. “You’re coming with me.”

My pulse stuttered. “Excuse me?”

He leaned in, breath brushing my cheek. “Pack a bag. We’re leaving.”

I blinked. “Leaving? Where are we going?”

He smiled—slow, dangerous. “Have you forgotten? I promised to take you somewhere for the weekend.”

My stomach flipped. That surprise trip. Right.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. “You and your stupid surprises.”

But I

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 259- We Have Forever

    The look in his eyes when I knelt between his legs was enough to undo me. Hunger. Possession. That sharp, almost feral edge of restraint about to snap. His shirt hung open, the crisp white fabric dampened by the humidity, clinging to the hard lines of his body. He was the kind of man who could command a room with silence alone, yet here he was—breathing hard, pupils blown wide, undone by me on my knees.I let my palms slide slowly up his thighs, savoring the way his muscles tensed under my touch. The air was thick, heavy with salt and heat and something far darker—the tension thrumming between us.“Emily…” His voice was rough, low, threaded with warning. My name on his tongue sent a shiver racing down my spine.“Shh,” I whispered, tracing my nails lightly over the seam of his trousers. “Let me.”The sharp inhale he made almost broke me. I loved that sound, the way it stripped away the control he wore like armor. Slowly, I tugged at his zipper, brushing my knuckles deliberately against

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 258- The Maldives

    The moment the jet touched down on the private strip in the Maldives, my chest ached with disbelief. I had seen pictures online, glossy postcards of endless turquoise water and white sand that looked too perfect to exist in reality. But now, stepping down the stairs of the jet with Lorenzo’s hand steadying me, I realized the truth: none of those images compared.The air was warm, salted with the scent of the ocean, and the horizon stretched endlessly in shades of blue that melted into each other like paintbrush strokes. Palm trees swayed lazily in the breeze, their fronds whispering secrets of paradise.Lorenzo’s palm pressed low against my back, guiding me toward the sleek boat waiting for us. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I didn’t need to see them to know he was watching me, gauging every reaction, soaking in the awe that left me nearly speechless.“This…” My voice cracked, too small against the vastness before me. “This doesn’t feel real.”His lips twitched, almost a smile, b

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 257- The Birthday Trip

    The suitcases were already zipped shut, lined up neatly by the bedroom. Lorenzo was handling some matters before we leave, issuing instructions in that calm, commanding tone that made people scramble without question. I sat on the edge of the bed, tying the straps of my heels, watching him out of the corner of my eye as he spoke quietly into his phone, his jaw sharp, his expression unreadable.Maldives.The word pulsed in my head like a heartbeat. I still couldn’t believe it. A trip, a promise ring, a birthday I never could’ve dreamed of—and him. Always him.The driver loaded our bags into the car waiting in the driveway. Lorenzo took my hand and led me downstairs, his palm steady, firm, like even gravity obeyed him. He opened the door for me first, as always, helping me inside before slipping in beside me.As the car pulled away, I leaned against the window, my gaze idly following the blur of trees and the grand lines of the estate. That’s when I saw her.Amanda.She was standing at

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 256- The Promise Ring

    I jolted awake with a gasp, the sound clawing its way up my throat like I had been drowning. My chest heaved, my skin damp with sweat, my pulse hammering so violently that for a second, I thought it might tear free from my ribs. The image of blood drops falling from the ceiling clung to the edges of my mind, stubborn and suffocating.But when my eyes snapped open, there was no dripping. No red line crawling its way down the wall. No nightmare made flesh.There was only Lorenzo.He was sitting on the edge of the bed, angled toward me, his elbows on his thighs, his fingers loosely laced together. His eyes—dark, fathomless, steady—were trained on me like he had been watching me for hours. And maybe he had, knowing him.My breath caught, softer this time, as I whispered, “Lorenzo?”The muscles in his jaw ticked, but his voice was calm, almost gentle. “What’s wrong?”I forced a shaky laugh, rubbing my hand across my face, trying to banish the remnants of the nightmare clinging like cobwebs

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 255- Happy Birthday

    Lorenzo’s bloodied hand trembled in mine, his skin warm, slick with crimson, but all I could think about was holding him together. Holding us together. His outburst, the violence, the wall shattered by his fist—it had shaken me to my core, but right now, all I could see was the man beneath the rage. The man who had been hurt, broken, twisted by a past he never asked for. And still, somehow, he was mine. I tightened my grip on his wrist and whispered, “Come sit down. Let me bandage this.” For once, he didn’t argue. He didn’t resist. He just gave me a tired nod, his jaw still tight, and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. His shoulders slumped, his body rigid, but his eyes never left me as I rushed to the cabinet, pulling out the first aid box. My heart hammered in my chest as I knelt in front of him, placing the box on the carpet. The sight of his knuckles made me wince—split open, raw, bloodied. It hurt to look at, as though the pain was mine. My stomach twisted with guilt and lov

  • HIS FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION    Chapter 254- Night Drama

    My breath snagged in my throat, my body frozen, Lorenzo’s cock still heavy and hard in my hand. For a fraction of a second, the world tilted—silence so sharp it roared in my ears.Before I could even comprehend who it was, a blur of movement charged straight at me.“Get away from my husband!”The voice was shrill, guttural, full of venom. And then I knew.Amanda.My stomach dropped. My eyes widened. But I had no time to move, no time to think. Her hands slammed into my shoulders with brutal force, sending me sprawling onto the cold floor, the sting radiating down my spine.I gasped, the air knocked from my lungs.Lorenzo shot to his feet instantly, fury snapping across his features, but Amanda was already on me again, her nails clawing, her eyes wild.“You whore!” she screamed, spittle flying as her face contorted. “You’re sleeping with my husband! My husband!”Her voice cracked into madness, into pain, into something feral.I scrambled backward, yanking the blanket from the bed and w
