The Bully's Sinful Obsession CHAPTER 21
Chapter 21: The Morning ColdThe morning sun hit my face with a warm brightness that made my eyes sting. I blinked against the sharp light, my mind fuzzy as the heavy fog of sleep slowly cleared away. The storm had completely disappeared, leaving behind only the cool scent of wet pine trees coming through the cave entrance.I shifted slightly, and my hand brushed against the cold, damp dirt floor.The fire was dead. Only gray ashes and tiny, cold cinders were left where the orange flames had burned all night.My chest tightened as a sudden draft of cold air hit my bare neck. Julian wasn't holding me anymore. The heavy warmth of his arms wrapped around my waist, the soft press of his chest, and the burning heat of his skin were all gone.I sat up fast, gasping as a sharp ache pulled at my leg, but the terrible pain I expected in my left ankle didn't come.I looked down at my foot, and my breath caught right in my throat.Someone had carefully wrapped my ankle in a neat, sturdy splint.
The Bully's Sinful Obsession CHAPTER 20
Chapter 20: The Fevered VowThe small fire crackled softly in the dark cave, throwing long orange shadows across the cold stone walls. Outside, rain pounded against the thick trees, but inside, the air was surprisingly warm.Julian slumped sideways against the rough stone wall, his head resting heavily against the dry rock. His chest rose and fell in fast, shallow breaths, every single breath sounding like a ragged scratch in his throat. Sweat stood out across his pale skin, dripping down his forehead and catching along his sharp jawline. His teeth chattered violently, loud enough to ring inside the quiet space, even as his bare skin radiated a terrifying, unnatural heat.I completely forgot about the sharp, throbbing pain in my left ankle. I forgot about the ugly purple swelling hiding beneath the thick flannel shirt he had buttoned around me.I dragged myself forward across the dirt floor, wincing as my bad leg brushed against a loose rock, but I didn't stop until I was sitting righ

Chapter 19: The Scars We HideI stared at Julian’s hand, my mind struggling to make sense of the burning heat pressing against my cold skin. His fingers twitched under mine, shaking so hard that small bits of dirt fell from his hand onto the dry ground."Julian?" I whispered, my voice barely making a sound over the crackle of the small fire between us. "Your hand... you're burning up."Julian pulled his hand back fast, like my soft touch had burned him. He forced a rough, breathless laugh, but his dark eyes looked glassy and unfocused, reflecting the dancing flames in strange, unsettled waves."I'm fine," he growled, his voice much rougher than usual. He tried to clear his throat, but a heavy cough cut him off. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as his shoulders shook hard with every gasp. "It's just the cold. Don't worry about me.""You ran three miles back down a mountain in freezing rain without a proper coat," I said, leaning closer even though my ankle throbbed wi

Chapter 18: The Sanctuary CaveJulian didn't wait. He shifted my weight in his arms, turned his back to the harsh, howling wind, and stepped right into the waist-deep water. Every single step through the thick mud was heavy and hard, his boots squelching loudly in the rising pool. I buried my face in the crook of his neck, my hands clutching his wet shirt like my life depended on it."Hold on to me," Julian growled into my hair, his chest heaving as he pushed us up the steep, muddy hill. "Don't let go, Maya.""It hurts," I whimpered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. Every sudden move sent a wave of sharp, sickening pain shooting straight up my left leg."I know. Just keep breathing," he rasped, his voice rough and tight with effort. He grit his teeth, his heavy boots digging into the loose rocks and wet roots. Mud slid down around us, but Julian didn't slip once. He moved like a man possessed, his strong arms locked tight around me, shielding my body with his own whene

Chapter 17: The Hand in the DarkThe freezing water had already reached my waist, filling the pit like an icy bath. My teeth chattered so hard they felt like they were going to break in my mouth. My whole body shook uncontrollably, a violent shivering running from my raw throat down to my bare, numb toes.I dragged myself through the thick mud, pulling my body inch by inch toward a giant, mossy rock leaning against the dirt wall. Pain roared up my left leg with every tiny move, making my head spin and my vision blur into dark spots."Just get out of the water," I whispered, my voice barely a scratch against the loud storm. "Come on, Maya. Just get up on the rock."I dug my nails into the slick stone, pulling my wet, heavy body out of the puddle. I collapsed against the cold boulder, curling my bad leg close to my chest and wrapping my wet arms around my knees.The heavy rain pounded down on my head without stopping. My skin didn't even feel cold anymore. It felt strange and hot, like

Chapter 16: Lost in the BrushThe ice-cold rain hit my face like hundreds of tiny needles. Every breath pulled into my lungs burned, freezing and thin, making my chest ache with every step. My thin sneakers were soaked straight through, weighed down with heavy mud that made moving feel like dragging rocks across the woods.I stumbled forward into the dark, wrapping my arms tight around my ribs to stop the violent shaking. The trees stood like giant black shadows looming over me. Wind howled high in the branches, sounding almost like a person screaming."Julian!" I yelled out into the storm. My voice came out small, completely lost in the roaring rain. "Is anyone there?!"Only the heavy smack of rain on wet leaves answered me.I wiped the soaked hair out of my eyes with a shaking, dirty hand. My fingers were so numb from the freezing cold that I couldn't feel a thing. I took another slow step, but my shoe slipped off a slick root. I slid sideways, crashing hard into the rough bark of a
