Castelle lay slumped against Kane’s chest, her breath soft and shallow, skin flushed and sensitive. Every nerve in her body buzzed—wrecked, satisfied, and trembling. Her wrists were still loosely bound, her body limp from the relentless ride he had guided her through.

‎Kane pressed a lingering kiss to her shoulder before carefully loosening the silk binding. His touch was gentle, reverent—worlds away from the commanding force he had been just minutes ago. He massaged her wrists slowly, pressing soft kisses to the marks his grip had left behind.

‎“You okay, kitten?” he asked quietly, voice deep with concern.

‎She gave a weak nod, her eyes fluttering shut. “Mmm. You ruined me,” she whispered with a faint smile, her voice raspy from all her pleading moans.

‎Kane chuckled, wrapping the duvet around her as he stood and carried her bridal-style into the ensuite bathroom. The warm water was already running as he lowered her gently into the tub, sliding in behind her so her back reste

  • Tainted Desires; Demons. Darkness. Damnation    Raging storm

    ‎Kane stopped mid-feed. The effect was instant. His muscles locked. His jaw clenched.‎‎Castelle felt it.‎‎Alyssa’s eyes gleamed.‎‎Without shame or hesitation, she stalked toward Kane like a ghost returning to finish what it started. Everyone stilled, watching, unsure—until she reached out and ran her fingers down Kane’s chest.‎‎He didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Just stood frozen — like he was seven again.‎‎Then she leaned in.‎Her lips just inches from his...‎‎A scream ripped through the air.‎‎“DON’T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HIM!”‎‎Castelle moved faster than anyone could react.‎‎She yanked Alyssa by the hair, hard enough to tear, and slammed her head against the dining table with a sickening thud.‎‎Once.‎‎Twice.‎‎A third time.‎‎Blood spattered across the glass as Alyssa shrieked, nose and mouth bursting open.‎‎Before anyone could recover, Castelle grabbed her face, fingers digging into her cheeks, forcing her to look up through the blur of blood.‎‎Her voice shook w

  • Tainted Desires; Demons. Darkness. Damnation    Unstable calm

    ‎The mansion was unnaturally quiet.‎‎The events of the previous day—the brutal raid, Kane’s stabbing, the blood, the tenderness, the confessions and claims—had exhausted everyone.‎‎No morning briefings. No sparring. Just silence and the occasional soft creak of floors under slow, sleepy footsteps.‎‎Even Kane, ever the early riser, had succumbed to rest, buried in Castelle’s arms. Her fingers absentmindedly traced the bandage under his ribs, eyes closed, a gentle comfort wrapped around her protector.‎‎Matteo hadn’t stirred from Mason’s side, his palm flat against the curve of Mason’s back like an anchor. ‎Lucien and Lyra were tangled in satin sheets, breathing in sync, her head resting over his heart, and his arm locked around her waist.‎‎It was peaceful— Surreal. Abnormal. Temporary.‎‎---‎Kareen sat alone at the long oak table, fingers wrapped around a mug of steaming tea, eyes unfocused. The maids had brought up trays of breakfast to the rooms — eggs, fruit, warm bread,

  • Tainted Desires; Demons. Darkness. Damnation    Claiming Theirs

    ‎The door closed with a gentle click, sealing the two of them in their room. Castelle helped Kane settle into bed, though he grunted and swatted her fussing hands away.‎“I said I’m fine.”‎“You’re not fine, Kane. You got stabbed,” she scolded, voice trembling despite her effort to sound firm.‎Kane gave her a crooked smile. “Still standing. Still wanting you.”‎Her breath caught.‎He reached out and tugged her into his lap, wincing slightly but refusing to let go. His fingers trailed over her spine, his voice low and rough. “You were holding another man when I walked in.”‎“He was heartbroken over the condition you were in.”‎“I don’t care.”‎“You’re insufferable.”‎“And in love with you.”‎That silenced her. The first time he has admitted to loving her.‎Kane brushed her hair back and kissed her forehead. “Today reminded me why I do this. Why I fight like hell. I’ve built empires, burned enemies, and ruled Beltforte with fear. But you—” he tilted her chin up, “—you remind me what’s

  • Tainted Desires; Demons. Darkness. Damnation     Take a shot

    ‎Matteo leaned casually against the long table, a half-smirk on his lips, while Lucien tossed a blade in the air, catching it without looking.‎‎“You know, Kane,” Lucien started, “I thought I’d seen everything. But your sweet little kitten moaning in your arms, in front of your mother and that soul-sucking Alyssa? That... was a showstopper.”‎‎Matteo chuckled darkly. “I swear, she latched onto your shirt and started murmuring things like ‘take me now’ and ‘I want you Kane’ like the rest of us weren’t even there.”‎‎Lucien nodded with a low whistle. “The horror on Delilah’s face. I think Alyssa nearly choked on her fake composure. And Kareen—Kareen looked like she’d won the damn lottery and your dad was just embarrassed.”‎‎Kane sat back, a rare smile curving his lips. “She’s grown,” he said softly, pride glinting in his eyes. “I told you I’d build her... piece by piece. Fuck her into who she was meant to be. She’s almost there.” He looked away briefly, hiding a glint of heat in hi

  • Tainted Desires; Demons. Darkness. Damnation     ‎Distracting the Queen, Mischief and missions

    ‎‎Castelle sat beneath the wisteria-laced archway in the estate’s private garden, a book resting on her lap, though her gaze was distant. Her thoughts kept circling back to the encounter with Alyssa, the fury in Kareen’s voice, and the icy calm in Kane’s. Her fingers trembled slightly, though she tried to steady them against the spine of her novel.‎‎Then came the interruption.‎‎“Milady,” Mason called dramatically, striding toward her with a ridiculous feathered hat and a tray of juice and cookies. “I come bearing gifts… and absolutely no mischief.”‎‎“Yet,” Lyra added, trailing behind him with an exaggerated curtsy and a mischievous grin.‎‎Castelle blinked, startled—but then laughter bubbled up. “What are you two wearing?”‎‎“Garden royalty attire,” Mason said with a flourish. “Did you not get the memo?”‎‎“Apparently not,” Castelle smiled, setting her book aside. “What’s going on?”‎‎“Operation: Distract the Queen,” Lyra said, taking Castelle’s hand and pulling her gently
