LOGINI watched her for a moment, heart hammering in a way I hadn’t felt in years. She was cautious, shaking slightly, but she was determined. The way she knelt before me, opening the small first aid kit, made something tighten in my chest. I hated feeling vulnerable like this, hated feeling the tension coil between us, hated that my body reacted to her presence in ways it shouldn’t, and yet couldn’t stop it.“Let me clean your cuts,” she said softly, her voice steady despite the tremor I noticed in her hands. “Please.”Her hands brushed over my cheek, careful, tender, and I had to swallow back a groan. She leaned closer, her fingers gliding across the line of blood on my lips. I noticed her eyes flick to my blue eyes, catching the reflection of the dim room, and my pupils dilated without my control. Every subtle movement, every slight touch, sent heat through my body.“You’re careful,” I said, voice low, almost a growl, but I let her continue. “You should be scared of me, and yet you… you

I could still taste her lips, lingering like a spark I couldn’t extinguish, like a fire I had no intention of putting out, and even as the sound of gunfire faded behind me, even as the smell of gunpowder receded into the corners of the room, her presence clung to me, heavy and irresistible. The kiss had been sudden, unplanned, almost reckless, but the way her body had reacted, the way her eyes widened and her breath caught in that fragile, perfect way, had been intoxicating, and I had not regretted it for a single second. I had never kissed anyone like that. I had never wanted to. Kissing was not for me; it was never part of the game I played. Most women understood it, knew that my lips were not a place for softness or vulnerability, and respected the distance I enforced, but she was different. Julia was different. She moved through my mind like a shadow I could not ignore, and the moment our mouths had met, something within me shifted, something I had long convinced myself was imposs
(Note this chapter is very long. Extra long. and it might end up having different point of view. Thanks for reading)Lucian's POVHer hands were small, but the way they moved across my back made something inside me loosen in a way I had never allowed myself to loosen around anyone. At first, I thought I would tolerate her touch just enough to get through the night. I assumed she would tremble, hesitate, or press too lightly the way most people did when they were afraid of me. Instead, the moment her palms settled on the tense line of my shoulders, there was this steady confidence in her movements. It surprised me enough that I actually let out a breath I had not realized I was holding.She pressed her thumbs gently along my spine, working slowly downward, and the tension in my muscles responded to her like they had been waiting for her specifically. I had been touched by professionals who prided themselves on being the best, the kind who traveled the world to treat wealthy clients, an
“Watch over her closely.” No… I stood there, speechless, my mouth agape, yet no words escaped me. Yvonne approached me, leaning in a bit with a bright smile, her delightful perfume wafting through the air. She gently ran her fingers through my hair, “you’re so beautiful, let’s find out what you can do.” Two men approached and pulled me up from the ground. I looked at my godfather, tears flowing from my eyes like a fountain, and his face was completely emotionless. “Please… I'm sorry, I won’t make that mistake again!” I let out a loud scream as they pulled me into another room. Yvonne just stood there, watching me cry as if it didn’t matter at all. Who was she to begin with? Was she alright with everything that was happening? She pulled out an outfit, but it wasn’t just any outfit; it was lingerie. She placed it on the couch and settled down next to it. “You can leave,” she said to the men, and they walked away, leaving just the two of us together. I couldn't help but cry; it
I pressed my hands against his broad shoulders, feeling the tension coil beneath my fingers like a living thing. Lucian’s skin was warm, and despite the bruises and fresh cuts, it felt smooth and almost soft under my touch. My heart hammered, betraying the calm I tried to maintain. I told myself to focus—this was a massage, nothing more—but every subtle shift of his body, the way his muscles flexed under my fingers, made it impossible to think straight. He leaned forward slightly, letting out a soft sigh that vibrated through his chest. It was a sound that belonged entirely to him, a mixture of exhaustion, relief, and something I couldn’t name. My hands moved instinctively, kneading and pressing, trying to loosen the tight knots I felt in his back. I was careful, tentative at first, unsure if I should go harder, but the way his body reacted under my touch encouraged me. “You have no idea how tense you are,” I murmured, trying to keep my voice even. I hoped he didn’t notice the s
