Selena’s P.O.V. I pant from another intense kiss. The memory of him kissing that girl in front of everyone still hurts. “It was just a dare, Selena,” he explains to me, a bit irked. “You were the one who forced me to play that stupid game.” “But you could have kissed me, not her.” I avert my eyes, showing my anger to him. He takes my chin in his hand and turns my face to him, making me meet his gaze. “I didn’t kiss you because I care about your reputation. Think about it—what would people think if I kissed you? And this...” He gestures between us. “What we have is our little secret, Selena. I never want to put you in a position where people will question you. I’m sorry if I hurt you. But that was never my intention.” His words make me look at him in amazement. The honesty in his voice and the way he thought about my reputation touch my heart. My anger dissipates like smoke, replaced by a warmth that spreads through my chest. No one has ever thought about me like this. Nobody has

James's P.O.V. We reach the ice mountains by bus, and it’s a beautiful place. I’ve never travelled just for fun, but Selena gave me the chance, and honestly, I don’t regret it at all. We all step out of the bus, and Selena's eyes are fixed on her friends, who are busy with their boyfriends, getting romantic in the beautiful atmosphere. I can see the desire in her eyes—the longing for love that she craves so deeply. I want to give her that love, more than she could ever imagine. I fucking tried to deny that I was developing feelings for her because she is my friend's daughter, but I couldn't. Last night, when she slept in my arms, I realised that this was much more than just attraction. What exists between us has been there from the very beginning. It feels as if my soul had been waiting all my life to meet her. Literally, no one before her ever caught my attention. I've made up my mind—I will not back out. In fact, I can't. I need her. She is the woman I have always wanted. I fuck

Selena’s P.O.V.After dinner, Mr Luther and I sit outside our tent, staring at the sky full of stars. The view is breathtaking—so peaceful. However, his presence brings an even deeper peace.The way he gazes at the stars, it’s as if he adores them deeply.“You like the stars?” I ask, breaking the silence.He turns to look at me with a small smile on his face and nods at me, his eyes sparkling. “Yes, I do. I love them because they shine even in darkness... just like you.”His unexpected words leave me speechless. Will he just stop doing this? It’s getting hard for me to control my heart.He moves closer and gently cups my face, locking his eyes with mine. My heart is beating so fast that I’m sure he can feel it. Like always, his proximity is sending shivers down my spine and making my breath heavy.“My life was completely dark, and then you came into it like a ray of sunshine, illuminating everything,” he whispers, brushing his thumb against my cheek. “You’re my little star, Selena.”H

Selena’s P.O.V.We return from the camping trip at night, and I keep tossing and turning on the bed, unable to fall asleep. I feel tightness in my chest and a constant aching because I know I’m doing wrong by pushing Mr Luther away from me.He’s the first person who has made me feel things that nobody else has before. He touched my heart, but this is so forbidden. That’s why I’ve been trying to distance myself from him before things get more complicated.But now, I’m missing him so badly it hurts. Only I know how hard I’m struggling to control myself from rushing to his room and falling asleep in his warm arms, listening to his soothing heartbeat, just like we did on the first day of camping.Oh God, I miss his arms, his rough touch, and his deep, muscular voice. I don’t feel like doing anything or eating either. I’m just longing for him—for his comforting presence, his reassuring smile, and the warmth of being wrapped in his arms.But I can’t have him because I know we can never be t

James’s P.O.V.After I’m done giving Selena a head massage, she sits beside me and says, “Thank you,” looking at me.I give her a small smile. She doesn’t realise it yet, but now she’s mine to take care of. I’ll do everything in my power to make her feel better.“What do you want to do now?” I ask. “Watch a movie?”She shakes her head. “No.”I raise an eyebrow. “Then what?”“Let’s play a game.”“A game? What kind of game?” I look at her with curiosity.She leans forward slightly, her eyes shining with excitement. “Two Truths and a Lie.”I chuckle. “You want to play a game meant for teenagers with me?”“Don’t act like you’re too grown for it, Mr. Luther,” she teases. “Come on, entertain me. I’m getting bored.”She’s got that stubborn glint in her eyes—the same one she gets when she persuades me to do something.I sigh, shaking my head. “Alright, you start first.”First, she made me play truth or dare, and now this. This woman is making me do things I never imagined doing in my life. Bu
