Chapter 5 — The Door That Never Closes (Lara)
publish date:
2026-04-18 10:54:34The lecture ended with the muffled sound of chairs scraping, but I could barely hear anything beyond the blood pulsing in my ears. While the students crowded toward the auditorium exit, my eyes remained fixed on the back of Dorian’s neck as he erased a quote from Byron on the whiteboard. The tension in the air was almost physical, a stretched wire about to snap.
“Lara…” His voice cut through the remaining murmur. “A moment, please.” My heart raced. He wasn’t looking at me, focused on cleaning the board, but I could feel the energy between us like an electric current. I pretended to organize my notebooks, waiting for the last students to leave. When the auditorium door closed, he finally turned. His eyes were dark, with deep circles, as if he hadn’t slept in nights. “Your essay on the nature of desire in *Dracula*…” he began, picking up my paper from the lectern. “It was… disturbingly insightful.” I moved closer to him, feeling the heat of his body. “Disturbing in what way, Professor?” He held the paper out to me, but when our fingers touched as he passed it, a shock ran through my arm. The world seemed to stop. My essay fell to the floor with a dull thud, but neither of us moved to pick it up. His eyes were locked on mine, his breathing accelerated. “Lara…” he whispered, a warning and an admission in a single word. “Yes, Professor?” My voice came out softer than I intended. His fingers were still over mine, and I could feel his racing pulse through his skin. The air between us seemed to vibrate, charged with everything unsaid, undone, unadmitted. “This cannot…” he started, but didn’t finish. His eyes dropped to my lips, and I knew he was lost. My own body reacted before my mind could process it. My fingers intertwined with his, pulling him closer. He didn’t resist. His other arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me against him with a force that took my breath away. “You’re driving me insane,” he growled against my lips, his hot breath carrying the aroma of bitter coffee. “Maybe you were already insane, Professor,” I replied, closing the final distance. The kiss he gave me was not gentle. It was a collision of lips, teeth, and repressed desire. His hands gripped my hair, tilting my head back as his mouth explored mine with a hunger that matched my own. When we separated, both of us were breathless. His eyes were wide, as if he couldn’t believe what had just happened. “This is a mistake,” he said, but his hands were still on me, tracing the line of my spine. “But we’ve already made it,” I whispered, pulling him in for another kiss. This time it was slower, deeper. His lips tasted of coffee and remorse, and I knew that every second brought us closer to the point of no return. But I didn’t care. I wanted to dive headfirst into the abyss with him. The sound of footsteps in the hallway abruptly separated us. He stepped back, dazed, his eyes filled with horror and desire. “You need to go,” he said, his voice hoarse. “Yes,” I agreed, but I didn’t move. Our eyes remained locked for a moment longer, the air between us still charged with the truth of what had just happened. Then I turned and left, feeling his gaze on my back until the auditorium door closed behind me. In the empty college hallway, I leaned against the cold wall, my legs trembling. My lips still tingled with the taste of him. The spell was working. And I was closer than ever to getting everything I wanted. But as I walked down the empty corridor, a single thought echoed in my mind: the witch had been right. Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 12 — The Monster We Created
The midday sun reflected off the windshields in the parking lot, creating a suffocating heat inside the car. I waited in the passenger seat, my mother had gone inside to buy “just a few things”—and it had already been twenty minutes.My phone vibrated once more. Dorian. The sixteenth unanswered call of the day.I let a cruel smile escape my lips. One week. A whole week without answering him, without responding, letting him wither in his own obsession. “Let him feel what it’s like,” I thought, “let the arrogant professor know what it means to need.”The passenger window suddenly shattered.Before I could scream, a strong hand covered my mouth, pulling me out of the car with brutal force. I struggled. Not because I wanted to escape, but because it was what was expected of me.My arms were quickly pinned behind my back.“Shhh, my little devil,” Dorian’s voice whispered in my ear, chilling and familiar. “I think you forgot who’s in charge here.”He dragged me toward a black van parked a f
Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 11 — Destiny of Darkness
The rain fell over the city like a gray veil, washing the sidewalks but not the filth from my soul. I was hidden in a dark alley across from Lara’s parents’ house—they had taken her back, as if it were possible to simply put a demon back in the box from which it escaped.The hood of my jacket was pulled forward, my hands shoved in my pockets like an addict in withdrawal. I had been waiting for three hours. Three hours standing in the rain, watching the lit windows on the second floor where I knew she was. My phone vibrated again in my pocket—Sarah, for the seventeenth time today.I ignored it, as I had done with all the other calls. The only thing that mattered was behind that door.The front door opened and Lara emerged, wrapped in a black cape that seemed made of living shadows. She wasn’t alone. A young man—a college student—was with her, laughing at something she had said.A wave of possession so violent took hold of me that I almost screamed. My fingers clenched around the knife
Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 10 — Ruined
Morning arrived with the softness of a punch to the stomach. I woke in my office, where I had slept, or tried to sleep, after coming home the night before with Lara’s scent still imprinted on my skin. My phone vibrated incessantly on the desk, an irritating buzz that seemed to echo the tremor in my nerves.“Dorian?” Sarah’s voice came from the door, strangely restrained. “You need to… See this.”She was pale, holding her iPad with trembling hands. Her eyes, normally so clear and open, were red and avoiding mine.“Sarah, what happened?” I asked, rising to my feet. My heart began to race faster, a sensation of impending disaster.She didn’t answer, just placed the tablet on my desk. The screen showed an anonymous email with a link and a single line of text:“Everyone deserves to know the real Professor Caine.”I clicked the link with stiff fingers. The video loaded. Grainy, but unmistakable. The interior of my car. Lara on her knees. My own guttural moans coming from the speakers.“Oh,
Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 9 — She Was Perfect
The rain beat on the car roof like a thousand accusing fingers. I should have been heading home. I should have been having dinner with Sarah, discussing our day, being the decent husband she deserved.Instead, I was parked in a dark alley behind the university, with Lara sliding into the car like a wet shadow. Her scent filled the interior—jasmine and rebellion—and my cock throbbed instantly against my will.“You came,” she whispered, her cold fingers finding my neck.I grabbed her wrist hard enough to leave marks.“This is the last time. Do you understand?”She laughed, a low, wet sound.“You always say that.”I pulled her toward me, crushing my lips against hers. The kiss was a battle. Teeth, tongue, desire mixed with hatred. Hatred for her. Hatred for me. Hatred for not being able to resist.“Get down,” I ordered, pushing her away abruptly. “And put that mouth to good use. Remember what I taught you.”Her eyes gleamed with a light that wasn’t defiance, but devotion.“Yes, professor
Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 8 — The Trident of Desire and Torment
The scalding water of the shower fell over my skin like a perverse purification. I closed my eyes, letting the steam envelop me while my hands slid across my body, tracing the paths that his had taken in the library.Each touch was an evocation, each shiver an invocation.“Dorian…” I whispered to the curtain of steam, as if the very name were a spell.On the shower bench, the voodoo doll rested on a white towel, its black bead eyes staring at me with silent accusation. Water splashed onto its cloth body, staining it a darker red where blood had already seeped into the fabric.I picked up the first pin from the case beside it. Long, sharp, gleaming under the bathroom light.“So that he may see me,” I murmured, driving the needle into the doll’s left eye.A sharp stab cut across my own temple, but I smiled through the pain. It was real. It was working.My hand slid between my legs, finding the wetness of my desire. I imagined it was his fingers, not mine, touching me with that mixture o
Spellbound by Obsession Chapter 7 — A Flame That Could Not Be Extinguished
The car smelled of her.Despite having opened all the windows on the drive home, the aroma of jasmine and that bitter, earthy essence of Lara still permeated the fabric of the seats, my clothes, my skin.I rubbed my face hard, as if I could erase her touch, but only managed to spread the stain of my sin.I parked in the garage and sat for long minutes, staring at the kitchen door as if it were the entrance to hell itself. Inside was Sarah—my Sarah—who was probably finishing dinner preparations, perhaps humming some absurd song while she stirred a pot.She deserves someone better, I thought, someone who wouldn’t betray her with a college girl in a dark library. Someone who hadn’t taken a young woman’s virginity with the brutality of an animal.But when I closed my eyes, all I could see were Lara’s eyes fixed on mine as I possessed her. That mixture of pain and ecstasy, the way she bled for me, only for me.A shiver ran down my spine, followed by a wave of desire so intense it made me r
