All Chapters of Lustful Desires (Erotic Shorts): Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The silence stretched after their fight. Zara still had her face buried in her arms, refusing to look at Cade. She wanted to believe ignoring him would make him stop, but she knew better. Cade never stopped.The soft hum of the flashlight was the only thing keeping the darkness from swallowing them whole. Zara hated that little circle of light. It wasn’t enough. The corners of the elevator stretched into shadow, and every time she dared a glance, her stomach tightened like something was waiting there.Cade noticed. Of course he noticed.“Scared of the dark, Princess?” His voice carried amusement, cutting through the quiet like a blade.Zara’s head snapped up, her eyes narrowing. “No.”The smirk that spread across his face told her he didn’t believe her for a second. “Really? Because you keep staring at those corners like you expect something to crawl out.”She shifted uncomfortably, hating that he was right. “Shut up. It’s just… this place is creepy, that’s all.”Cade leaned forward,

The air in the elevator was unbearable now. Zara felt as though her skin was on fire. She had already given up on trying to fan herself after Cade’s shameless staring, but her blouse clung to her body as if mocking her. Sweat dripped down the side of her neck, and every small shift of her body made the fabric stick tighter.Cade, annoyingly, looked like he was in no rush to suffer. His shirt had been unbuttoned at the top, his sleeves rolled lazily to his elbows. Even in the stifling heat, he sat with the calm arrogance of someone who never lost control. His long legs stretched out across the narrow floor, his back against the wall, his eyes occasionally flicking toward her as if to remind her he was still watching.Zara sat opposite him, hugging her knees close, determined to keep as much distance as the cramped space would allow. Every nerve in her body screamed to ignore him. Ignore his eyes. Ignore his smug little smirk. Ignore the way his voice still echoed in her head when he to

Zara still sat with her knees drawn to her chest, refusing to look at Cade. Her lips still burned from his kiss, her heart still pounded like it had lost control, and her mind was a mess of anger and confusion. She hated him for doing it, hated herself for letting it happen, and hated most of all that she could still taste him when she breathed.The elevator was suffocating in its silence. Cade leaned back against the wall, calm as ever, like he hadn’t just crossed a line that shattered the fragile ground between them. His arms were folded, and his eyes lingered on her with a steady gaze that only made her pulse race faster.Zara clenched her fists until her nails dug into her palms. She couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed herself to her feet, standing unsteady but determined.“You think this is a game, don’t you?” she demanded, her voice sharp, trembling from the weight of too many feelings.Cade tilted his head slightly, watching her. “I never said it was a game.”“You kissed me li

Zara’s back slammed lightly against the metal wall, the cold shocking her overheated skin, but Cade was right there pressing into her, his lips devouring hers. His hand cupped the side of her face with a surprising gentleness, but the other gripped her waist like he was afraid she might disappear.She let out a sharp breath, her chest heaving. “We shouldn’t...”Her words cut off when his mouth claimed hers again, rough and desperate. She hated that she let him take control. She hated more that she wanted to give it to him.Her hands slipped up around his neck almost on their own. She pulled herself closer, not even trying to resist anymore. The pressure of his body against hers, the way the heat seemed to curl low in her stomach, it was too much.Cade broke the kiss for just a second, his forehead pressing against hers. His voice was husky. “Then stop me.”Her fingers tightened at the back of his neck, pulling him down to her lips again instead. She kissed him hard, furious at herself

The elevator gave a shudder that ran through Zara like an electric shock. The sudden motion snapped her out of the haze that had wrapped her since they had let the heat and the dark and the argument pull them into something neither of them had planned. The floor shifted, the numbers on the panel started crawling again, and for a second the sound of the motor felt unreal after the quiet.Zara instinctively reached for the railing, fingers closing on the cold metal. Cade’s hand shot out at the same time. His palm found her elbow and steadied her before she could fully wobble. The contact lasted a fraction of a second. She jerked away so fast she almost lost her balance. Her breath hitched.“Easy,” Cade said, voice rough, like he had been through the same mental scramble a moment ago and was trying to pretend it was nothing. He pulled his hand back and tugged his shirt down as if he had to fix everything outwardly before anyone could question what had been inside them.She fumbled with t
