THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 53 - This Kiss
LIORA’S POVI waited at the east gate as instructed, dressed in the simplest clothes I owned. A plain brown dress that could have belonged to any servant, my hair braided loosely over one shoulder.The sun had just dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of purple and gold. Guards stood at their posts, carefully not looking at me despite my presence.My mind kept circling back to Lucas.The way he’d looked at me in the drawing room, ice blue eyes giving nothing away. Would he tell anyone what we’d done? Would he use it against me somehow?No. He didn’t seem like that kind of person. Whatever else Lucas was, cold and distant and confusing, he didn’t strike me as someone who would weaponize intimate moments.At least, I hoped not.“Boo!”I jumped, a small scream escaping before I could stop it.Darren laughed, appearing from behind a pillar where he’d been hiding. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. You we
THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 52 - Breaking Tables
LUCAS’S POVThe moment the door closed behind them, I slammed my fist into the side table.Wood splintered under the impact, the ornate piece collapsing into broken fragments. Pain radiated up my arm, sharp and clarifying.But it wasn't enough to cause harm.“My lord?” Byron’s voice was careful. “Are you alright?”“Fine,” I growled, facing the window.I wasn’t fine. I was the furthest thing from fine.I could still taste her on my lips. Still feel the softness of her skin under my hands, hear the way she’d gasped my name when I’d touched her.And then, I stood and watched Darren take her hand. I watched him cup her face with tenderness I had no right to feel jealous of. I watched them look at each other like they actually belonged together.They did belong together. Darren was young, he could give her a future that didn’t involve decades of baggage and a dead mate’s ghost between them.They loo
THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 51 - Promises
LIORA’S POVI stepped into the drawing room, my heart hammering against my ribs.Lucas stood near the window, his back to me. The tension radiating from him was palpable, making the air feel thick and difficult to breathe.I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.Before the silence could stretch too long, footsteps sounded behind me. I turned to see Darren returning, a confused expression on his face.“I thought you left,” Lucas said without turning around.“I forgot my travel documents.” Darren moved to the desk and retrieved a leather folder. Then he noticed me standing there awkwardly and smiled. “Still here? I thought you had urgent business with my father.”“I do. Did. I mean…” I fumbled for words.“She burst in here like the palace was on fire,” Darren said, amusement clear in his voice. “Nearly gave poor Byron a heart attack. What was so urgent it couldn’t wait?”“I just needed to discuss something with the Alpha.” The lie felt heavy on my tongue.Elora appeared in th
THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 50 - Falling
LIORA’S POVI stood frozen as Darren released me, his hands dropping from my shoulders.“How have you been?” he asked, with genuine concern in his voice. “I heard about the handmaiden selection incident. Are you alright?”Words stuck in my throat. How could I answer that? How could I stand here and act normal when less than an hour ago his father’s mouth had been on me, driving me to the edge of something I’d never experienced before?“I’m fine,” I managed. “Just adjusting to palace life.”“We’ll talk more tomorrow,” he said. “I want to hear everything that’s happened while I was gone.”Everything. God, if he only knew.Elora appeared at his side, linking her arm through his with practiced ease. “Darren, we should go greet your father properly. He’ll want to hear about the treaty negotiations.”“Of course.” Darren smiled at me one more time. “Get some rest, Liora. You look exhausted.”They walked away together, surrounded by courtiers and well-wishers eager to congratulate the returni
THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 49 - He is back.
LIORA’S POVI couldn’t breathe.Lucas’s mouth was everywhere. On my lips, my throat, the sensitive spot behind my ear that made me gasp. His hands moved over my body with a possessiveness that should have terrified me but instead made the heat pool low in my belly.I’d never done anything like this before. Never been touched with such intensity, such raw need.And it felt too good to stop.His hands found the laces of my dress, loosening them like he was used to this. Cool air hit my skin as fabric parted, and I shivered.“Lucas,” I whispered, not sure if I was begging him to stop or continue.He didn’t answer. Just kept kissing down my body, his mouth trailing fire across my collarbone, between my breasts, over my stomach.When he reached the edge of my undergarments, his eyes lifted to meet mine. The ice blue had darkened to something almost feral.“Tell me to stop,” he said again, his voice rough.But I couldn’t. The words wouldn’t come.He hooked his fingers in the fabric and pull
THE ALPHA’S QUIET TEMPTATION CHAPTER 48 - Breaking.
LUCAS’S POVI couldn’t stop taunting her.Something about the way she stood there, trapped between me and the bed, eyes wide and lips parted, made me want to push. To see how far I could go before she broke or fought back.“Nothing to say?” I leaned closer. “That’s unusual for you. You always have so much to say. Especially when you’re yelling at me about my behavior.”She still didn’t respond, just stared up at me with those hazel eyes.My wolf stirred, pleased by her stillness. By the way she was caught between fear and something else. Something that made her breathing quicken and her pupils dilate.When I came in earlier I’d seen her sleeping but had to mask it up when I came back with Byron. Found her curled in my chair, her head tilted at an angle that would have given her a sore neck if she’d stayed much longer. The evening light had caught in her hair, and for several long minutes I’d just stood there watching her.Watching the gentle rise and fall of her chest. The way her li
