Velvet Chains Chapter 26 – Finally His
The tension between them buzzed like a live wire.Sera was limp in Valerio's arms, wrists loose, body shattered from the constant teasing.Still shaking, still wet, still starving for something he alone could give.Valerio's eyes seared hers.No teasing grin now.No holdback.Just hunger.Raw.Brutal.Possessive.He took her to the bed, cradled in his chest as if she didn't weigh anything.Laid her out with respect that made her heart stumble.And then finally—*finally*—pulled off the remaining shreds of his own clothes.---Sera's gasp arrested.She had seen him previously — half-dressed, bare chested, virile — but this?This was something different.Uncontrolled.Merciless.Each inch of his was chiseled from stern muscle and malice.Ink stretched his arms and ribs, black and cruel on olive skin.But it was the heavy, angry cock jutting between his legs that made her whimper.He was huge.Thick.Veined.Throbbing.And aimed directly at her, like a weapon he intended to use to destroy

Sunlight sliced diagonally across the big windows of the suite, and long golden stripes fell across the tangled sheets.Sera woke up in pain.Ache in parts she hadn't even known were capable of hurting.Her body bore its evidence of him — red marks on her hips, pink bruises on her wrists, the throbbing between her legs.And the hot, shameful wetness still trickling from her.Evidence of what he'd done to her.Evidence of how she'd *let* him.---Valerio wasn't by her side.The bed was still warm where he'd lain, but he was gone.Sera's chest constricted — idiotic, foolish disappointment sweeping through her.**Good,** she said to herself.Good that he wasn't here.Good that she had a chance to catch her breath, to *think.*---She slipped out of bed, grimacing at the tenderness, and made her way to the bathroom.Avoided looking into the mirror.She already knew what she'd see.Messy hair.Bruised lips.A haunted, sated look in her own eyes.---The shower blasted hot water over her sk

The restaurant was too beautiful.Too elegant.Icy white tablecloths, glittering chandeliers, muted hum of people conversing around them.Sera felt like she didn't belong.She sat stiffly in the plush chair, heart pounding, every nerve laid bare and screaming.Opposite her, Valerio leaned back, looking completely comfortable.Dark suit.Open collar.A monster hiding behind a human's skin.---Everyone was staring at them.She could feel it.The men who couldn't help but stare at Valerio's deadly beauty.The women who threw her curious, assessing glances — trying to figure out who the girl with the collar was.Because yes.She still wore it.The black leather around her neck, a glinting silver ring reflecting the restaurant's warm lights.A brand.A leash.And she hadn't even tried to take it off.---"You're tight, *angel,*" Valerio said lazily, drumming at his wineglass with one hard-fingered hand."Why?"Sera flushed."I. I'm not accustomed to settings like this."He smiled, slow an

The door slammed shut behind them.The sound rebounded off the marble floors, charging the rich suite with the sort of silence that was thicker, heavier, than any sound.Sera stood trembling in the center of the room, heart pounding so fiercely it was painful.Behind her, she could feel him — *feel* the bear weight of his anger.It rolled off Valerio in crushing waves.Predator.Hunter.Executioner.All wrapped in foul beauty.---"Strip," he'd whispered.Sera flinched.It was the smallest movement.A mere tremor.But sufficient.Sufficient to stoke into flame the black wildfire seething just beneath his frozen exterior.---"I said," Valerio's voice cracked out across the room like a whip,"strip."---Her fingers spasmed on the zipper of her dress, fumbling in panic.The silk dropped away, falling in a silken pool around her feet.She remained there in nothing but the collar he'd put around her throat.Breast heaving.Legs shaking.Eyes wide and welling with tears.---Valerio appro

Sera stood hard against the suite's back wall, arms crossed in defense over her naked body.Her body still trembled from the brutal orgasm he had coaxed out of her, but now—now fear ran through her veins.She couldn't go on like this.Couldn't go on *allowing* him to break her down.She wasn't one of his little obedient pets.She wasn't one of his breakables.The thud of his heavy footsteps on the floor cut through her whirling thoughts.Slow. Measured. Deadly.He approached her like an animal who already knew he had caught his prey.Because he had.And they both knew it.---"I can see it in your eyes," Valerio stated, voice low and merciless. "You're going to run."Sera lifted her chin in defiance she didn't feel."I'm not yours."Her voice shook, betraying her."I'm not some. *toy* you can control."---For a very long moment, he didn't speak.Just stood there.Watching.Letting the silence grow taut between them until it hummed like a live wire.Then—"You're right," he said final

The storm had retreated, but there was a weighty stillness.Sera was all turned up in the sheets, still warm from the brutal way in which he'd ripped her in two. She was all her body too sensitive, too exposed. She put her face against the pillow and tried to gasp for breath through the rubble he'd made of her.She hated him.She hated herself more for how much she craved the very destruction he gave.A weight fell onto the bed next to her.Valerio.She felt his heat before hearing his voice—low, husky, like stones rubbed against velvet."Look at me."She pinched her eyes tighter, refusing.His fingers traced over her jaw, soft, coaxing, instead of hard, turning her face to him."Look at me, angel."Heather gradually opened her lids.Their eyes locked.And it hit her like a chest punch—what she saw there.Not anger.Not scorn.Not even that pitiless hunger he used for armor.No.It was worse.It was bare, unclad *possession*.As if he'd burned his name into her soul and challenged he

Sera woke to the sound of footsteps. Hard, definite, heavy.Her heart jumped. For a moment, her mind fogged in half-sleep terror—*Was it another threat? Another punishment?*But she saw him. Valerio, slouching at the bedside like a shadow stitched from the shadows themselves.He wasn't supposed to be there. Not after what she'd done the previous night—not after she'd thrown that glass at him, screamed at him, told him to get out of her life the devil himself.And yet.here he was. As inevitable as the flow of the tide."Get out," she snarled, pulling the blanket tighter around her body, though she was still wearing her skimpy silk nightgown underneath. "I told you, I'm done."Valerio did not blink. Did not shift. His silver eyes drifted across her, slow and intentional, absorbing her. It was not lust in their eyes—it was *possession*. Something deeper, darker, *hungerer*. The atmosphere surrounding them thickened until breathing grew hard."No," he breathed, his words a dark, velve

Sera stared at her reflection in the gold mirror, unmoving.The silver collar glittered at her throat, complex and remorseless, a constant reminder of what had just occurred.Of whom she now belonged to.Valerio lounged in an armchair across the room, legs splayed wide, watching her with a look that made her tremble.Not with fear.With something far more dangerous.Possession.He held a glass of whiskey in one hand, the ice clinking as he tilted it lazily, but his gaze never left her. Heavy. Hungry. "You’re trembling," he observed, voice low and dark.She was. Barefoot, in nothing but her silk nightgown and his collar, she felt stripped down to the bone. Exposed in ways she had never been before."I want it off," she whispered, reaching for the edge of the vanity to balance herself.Valerio merely sipped his drink, unconcerned."You put it on yourself, Sera.""It doesn't matter that I accepted it."He snarled. "Doesn't it?"The heat of his gaze skated over her flesh like a br

Velvet Chains Chapter 75 - Uncovering Chapel Secrets
The cold of the Verona air followed them as they made their way to the chapel that Dario had told them about. It was at the far end of the estate, flanked by cypress trees that groaned in the wind, their shadows extending long and foreboding in the moonlight. The building was old, its stones weathered with centuries of secrets and sin.Valerio held Sera's hand tightly, the other wrapped around the butt of his gun. Even with Dario guiding them, trust did not come easily."How far down does it go?" Valerio ordered, staring at the chapel's weathered interior."Under the altar," Dario whispered, his eyes darting up to the worn crucifix that hung above. "There's a trapdoor, hidden by the marble. My father and I would use it when we had to. store things."Sera swallowed, her nerves tightening. The air was colder in here, unnaturally so. She felt it in her bones, in the way her skin prickled."You’re sure no one else knows about this?" she asked.Dario hesitated. "Only Lucrezia. But she beli
Velvet Chains Chapter 74 - The Masked Dance
The gala vibrated with secrets and shadows, but none thicker than that surrounding Sera as she navigated the crowd. She wasn't herself tonight. She was Celeste D'Amour, an enigmatic heiress from the French Riviera with a taste for danger and champagne. It was a name devised by Dario, corroborated by a fleshed-out identity trail and whispered associations with power.Sera had never been so naked, and yet so masked. And that paradox vibrated beneath her skin.Valerio's voice was a soft whisper in her ear, grounding. "She's watching you. Play it slow."Sera took a sip from her glass, letting her eyes drift over the room briefly, bored, uninterested. But she felt it—Lucrezia's eyes slicing through the crowd like blades. Waiting. Hunting."She's moving," Dario murmured over comms. "Two guards with her. Coming up on your left."Sera turned, just a bit. Enough to appear interested, not set up.Lucrezia walked like winter—deadly, gracious. Her voice, when it came, was a dagger in silk."I don
Velvet Chains Chapter 73 - Valerio & Sera
The chapel just beyond Dario's grounds stood like a monument to having been forgotten by time—ivy covering the stone walls, broken stained glass windows, their former brightly colored hues now faded with age. It was lovely, haunting. A cemetery of secrets.Sera stood beside Valerio, flashlight in hand. The marble floors echoed beneath their steps as they walked toward the altar. The air inside was cold, still, too quiet—as if the walls themselves were holding their breath."You’re sure the evidence is here?" she asked.Valerio nodded. "Dario said under the altar. There's a hiding place beneath the ancient offering table. My mother used to say her morning prayers here. If she knew what was rotting beneath her feet."He did not go on. Instead, he knelt and pressed a row of intricately carved angel wings on the altar. There was a quiet click. The marble swung back with a creak, and a thin stairway descending into darkness was revealed.Sera looked down. "Of course there's a creepy crypt.
Velvet Chains Chapter 72 - Valerio & Sera
The aftermath of the attack on the safehouse left a thick tension hanging in the air, heavier than the smoke and blood splatters they'd all but escaped. It was early dawn, but Valerio's world had been rewritten. The game had new rules.He stood on the edge of a cliff, beyond the forest clearing several miles from the desecrated safehouse, the wind cutting through his coat and nibbling at him. Sera followed him, silent. The night was silent too, too silent. Out in the distance, there were owls hooting into the night, peacefully unaware of the war raging in silence beneath their branches."We have to go," she whispered.Valerio changed, his face carved from stone. "Where?""To whoever's next on your list."She kept pace with him, slipping her hand into his. He glanced down at the manner in which her fingers curled around his—tight, unyielding."This doesn't stop until we find the one pulling the strings," she continued. "Until you're free."Valerio's face twisted. "Then we start with Da
Velvet Chains Chapter 71 - Valerio & Sera
The shoot-out's aftermath hung over the estate, such as the thick smoke of a fire smothered for too long. Morning light filtered through broken windows, reflected off blood-slicked floors and bullet holes. There was quiet where chaos had erupted mere hours before.Sera stood in the hallway outside the old library, arms wrapped around herself, a blanket draped over her shoulders. Her skin still trembled from adrenaline, her mind a whirlwind of images—Valerio with blood on his knuckles, the mole’s lifeless eyes, the shouts, the gunfire.But more than anything, she remembered Valerio’s arms around her afterward, his voice rough as he murmured, “You’re safe now. I’ve got you.”She hadn't given up since.In the library, Valerio lay on the long, blackened table, his gaze down on a crumpled map and list of names. His shoulders tensed, jaw clenched. What was to have been a clever ambush had been successful—but at a cost. One of his men had been injured, and the mole they'd been following had
Velvet Chains Chapter 70 - Valerio & Sera
The air was filled with gunpowder and blood.Smoke still coiled in relaxed clouds over the ruins along the southern ridge. Forest remained still, save the fading roar of engines. There was a sea of dead bodies covering the frost-covered ground. Valerio was pacing at the edge of the field, coat torn, bruised knuckles, and a deep slash running across the left arm. Ambushers were professionals but had not been expecting him.He'd taken care of that.Sera crept out from behind a fallen tree trunk, chest heaving, face streaked with grime and anger. Her gaze landed on Valerio straight away, relief crossing her features even as her jaw tightened."Are you injured?"He spun around, voice low. "I'm fine. You?"She nodded, sweeping hair from her face. "Bruised. Not broken."Valerio walked toward her, cupping her cheek in his good hand. His thumb wiped a smudge of blood from the jawline. "I said to stay behind the line.""And I said I don't take orders for granted." Her voice shook with adrenali
Velvet Chains Chapter 69 - Valerio & Sera
The guns' noise had long since faded, leaving behind only the crackling of the blaze in the impromptu hideout Valerio's men had occupied. Darkness descended on the forest hideout, thick with silence and secrets. Valerio was at the window, his gaze trained on the trees as if trying to break through the shroud of treachery that had surrounded his organization.Sera slumped on the arm of the leather couch, covered in one of Valerio's warm jackets, dripping wet hair curving around her face in tender strands. Her mind spun from the chaos of everything they had just been through. The fight at the compound. The deception that ran deeper than they had expected. The shadow of what still remained out there, hanging in wait."I don't know whom to trust anymore," Valerio burst out, his voice low, husky. "Every time I think I've located the leak, someone else bleeds.""You trust me," Sera said softly.His head rotated toward her slowly, eyes obscured in the dark. "You're the only one I trust. That
Velvet Chains Chapter 68 - Valerio & Sera
Rifle fire cracked through the underbrush like a fury of vengeance, echoing across the destroyed manor. Sera winced, racing heart still within her, as Valerio shielded her body with his. His arms wrapped around her, driving her behind a blackened pillar as rounds spat stone and ash into the air."Down!" he bellowed, voice booming over the chaos.His men returned fire, moving as precisely as surgeons. The ambush hadn't surprised Valerio—it had merely reinforced what he already knew: there was a mole in his organization, selling information to the enemy.Sera clung to the icy stone, her breathing short and shallow. She could feel the shock of the gunfire through the floor, smell the bitter flavor of metal and smoke. But it wasn't fear that bound her.It was rage.Whoever had enough guts to come for Valerio—enough guts to disrupt what they were building—would regret it.Valerio whirled, dropped down beside her. His mask was streaked with dirt, eyes burning hot with fury. "You believe me?
Velvet Chains Chapter 67 - Valerio & Sera
The sun rose blood-red over the ruined estate, staining the skeletal remains of Valerio's childhood house in fire and gold. The smoke from the last battle still lingered in the air, curling like specters through the broken windows. Sera waited in the silence that followed, her pistol loose at her side, ears still ringing from the gunfire.Valerio crouched next to the body of the man who'd named his father."He's making a grab," Valerio growled, to himself more than anything else. "He waited so long to allow me to establish everything. so he could then attempt to steal it away."Sera stepped forward. "Then he's mistaken."He gazed up at her. There was pride in his eyes, but something more. Sadness. Grief. Not for the man he'd thought of as a father—but for what he'd lost because of him. His mother. His innocence. His peace."This house," Valerio said, standing slowly and surveying the wreckage, "was built on blood. It alway
