HIS TOUCH, HER FIRE🔥---Chapter TwoThe Warning Beneath the SuitThe morning sun barely filtered through the thin curtains of Evelyn’s kitchen window, casting long strips of pale gold across the old wood floor. She stood barefoot on the chilled boards, coffee in hand, hair unbrushed, shirt borrowed from her late father—faded red plaid hanging off one shoulder—and tried to ignore the storm rising in her gut. Last night’s encounter with Damien Romano had not just left her rattled; it had torn something loose inside her. Something dangerous. The man had stepped onto her land like he belonged, like the dirt itself bent beneath his polished shoes, and then he’d spoken with a calm so soaked in arrogance it had made her see red. But it was his eyes that haunted her—silver, unreadable, like moonlight over deep water, hiding the depths beneath. He didn’t just want her land. He wanted control. And maybe... something more.

HIS TOUCH, HER FIRE🔥 --- Chapter Six — “What the Fire Left Behind” The door clicked shut, and Evelyn stood frozen on the other side, her hand still gripping the handle like it might turn back time. Her breath left in shallow bursts, eyes stinging as the weight of what she'd just done pressed down on her chest. She hadn’t just shut him out. She had carved a line in fire between them—and for once, it didn’t make her feel powerful. Outside, she heard nothing. Not the engine. Not his footsteps. Not even the wind. But she knew he was still there. She could feel it, a presence lingering like the scent of burnt sugar and gasoline. Dangerous. Bitter. Sweet. She pressed her back against the door, slid down to the floor, and stared at the ceiling like it held answers. But all it held was silence. And she hated silence. It made space for thoughts. And tonight, hers were spiraling. When the quiet grew too thick, she rose to her feet, marched to the back porch, and stared into the darkne
