Chapter 16

Allison POV

The air was thick, charged, and hot from the storm of the night before inside the grand conservatory. It was earthy, aromatic, pungent, and sweet with a strong fragrance of crushed jasmine emanating from the adjoining greenhouse. The sky was fractured with lightning, each streak flashing through the sizeable and heavy glass panels with a flickering spark of silver light. The thunder came next in no time at all, a low, guttural boom that shook the windowpanes and vibrate

  • The Wrong Kind Of Desire    Sleep For Now

    Chapter 17Julian POVThe storm outside was still raging with a relentless, violent fury, but the air inside the grand conservatory had settled into a heavy, quiet heat. It smelled of rain, warm leather, and the sweet, undeniable scent of our absolute surrender.I lay flat on my back on the plush leather sofa, my chest heaving as I held Allison tightly against my side. Her head was resting on my shoulder, her thick red hair spread across my bare chest like a sheet of pure silk, her small, delicate hand splayed over my heart. Her breathing had finally slowed — soft, even, and completely relaxed for the first time since she had arrived at this godforsaken estate.I ran my fingers slowly down the bare, smooth curve of her spine, feeling the microscopic shiver that still ran through her skin every time my calloused hands made contact with her. Every touch felt like a lawless, beautiful sin that I had absolutely no intention of repenting for. It was the kind of transgression that burned th

    Chapter 16 Allison POV The air was thick, charged, and hot from the storm of the night before inside the grand conservatory. It was earthy, aromatic, pungent, and sweet with a strong fragrance of crushed jasmine emanating from the adjoining greenhouse. The sky was fractured with lightning, each streak flashing through the sizeable and heavy glass panels with a flickering spark of silver light. The thunder came next in no time at all, a low, guttural boom that shook the windowpanes and vibrated right through the floorboards under my bare feet. My body shook. I stood in the middle of the dark glass room, my arms wrapped around my elbows. I had come here to avoid my mother’s omnipresent and suffocating attention, but the energy of the storm outside matched the sheer turmoil I felt inside myself. I was unraveling. All my years of logic-based barriers I had erected were falling down, and I couldn’t get myself to rebuild them. Behind me, the heavy mahogany doors opened quietly with a fa

  • The Wrong Kind Of Desire    Tell Me You're Mine

    Chapter 14 Julian POV Every time I touched her, it felt like a lawless, beautiful sin that I had no intention of repenting for. The kind of transgression that burned through my veins like the finest whiskey — smooth at first, then igniting everything in its path. I sat in the heavy leather chair of my study, the one that had belonged to my father before me, its worn edges creaking faintly under my weight as I stared blankly at the corporate merger documents spread across the massive oak desk. The rain hammered against the tall windowpanes with a furious, relentless rhythm, mirroring the dark, possessive thoughts that paced through my mind like a caged predator. The papers were a mess of legalese and financial projections — distribution clauses, asset reallocations, and non-compete agreements that could make or break Vance Dynamics. But none of it mattered. Not really. My amber eyes traced the lines without seeing them, my mind replaying the stolen momen

  • The Wrong Kind Of Desire    No Turning Back

    Chapter 13 Allison POV With Julie gone, the mansion didn’t feel like a luxury estate anymore. It felt like a hollow, gilded cage, and I was the bird trapped inside. Her side of our shared bedroom was painfully empty. The mattress was stripped bare, the closet doors left wide open, and the silence in the room was deafening. I paced the length of the hardwood floor, my bare feet making silent contact with the cold wood as I stared at the blank space where her suitcases had rested just twenty-four hours ago. Every time I closed my eyes, I was dragged straight back to the pool — to the devastating, shattered look on her face when she caught us. She had left at the crack of dawn without saying goodbye, leaving me completely alone to face the consequences of a forbidden desire I had no idea how to control. The guilt was a physical weight, pressing down on my chest until every breath felt like a struggle. I had betrayed my best friend. I had lied to

  • The Wrong Kind Of Desire    No Escape

    Chapter 12 Julian POV My father was sorely mistaken if he believed a mere piece of paper and a corporate merger could ever restrain me, or if he underestimated what I was prepared to tear to shreds to protect what was mine. Standing on the balcony, I watched the early morning fog roll across the estate’s sprawling lawn. Looking down, I spotted a black taxi parked at the front of the driveway. Its trunk hung open, and a man stepped into view, loading a pair of suitcases inside. Julie suddenly appeared in front of the taxi. I could tell she was angry and disappointed. She opened the door, took her seat, and didn’t glance back at the mansion. She didn’t even wait for my dad and Sarah to get back to say her goodbye. As the driver turned to leave, I looked up to see Allison staring from her bedroom window as the car drove off, heading to the main gate. I took a sip of my coffee — black, no sugar, no milk, just the way I liked it. The hot, bitter taste traced down my throat. Another pr

  • The Wrong Kind Of Desire    Get A Room

    Chapter 11 Allison POVThe morning sun was like a joke, shining so brightly through the sheer curtains of my bedroom. I sat across-legged on the bed, staring at the floor, my fingers following the outline of my collarbone, where Julian's mouth had burned last night. I was very affected and shaken. All my logic-based walls, I had erected in months, had crumbled the moment his lips touched mine.Julie was towel drying her hair as she walked out of the bathroom. "You have been staring at that wall for 10 minutes”. She looked at me as if she was playing with me, yet curious as well. Are you sure you don't have that headache anymore? You look... flushed."I put a quick smile on my face and replied 'I'm fine' quickly with my hand at my side. All the things we're going to have to get into in our two weeks here." You said you had a list of a lot of things that we wanted to do?"Julie's eyes were immediately illuminated. Of course, your mom's new home is super nice. We're definitely looking
