All Chapters of Craving Forbidden Pleasures : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

I didn’t sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, the House spoke. Not in words, but in heat, in sounds, in scent. The moans drifting through the velvet walls weren’t simply noise anymore—they throbbed inside me like second heartbeats. My skin prickled, alive with awareness I had never felt before.The sheets beneath me were damp with sweat and something slicker, more shameful. I tossed and turned, pressing my thighs together, trying to ignore the ache that only grew sharper with each muffled cry of ecstasy in the halls.By the time dawn’s pale light touched the curtains, my body was already humming like a live wire.The House was quiet in the morning, though not peaceful. It felt like the stillness after a storm—the air heavy with something lingering, charged.I pulled on a simple dress, trying to mask the restless heat that clung to me. My hair was a tangle, my cheeks still flushed. When I stepped out into the hallway, Cassandra was waiting as though she had known the precise moment I w

The House was awake.Not the way it stirred when one of the girls worked a client, nor the soft hum of laughter and muffled moans through velvet curtains. Tonight, it pulsed. Its walls breathed, the air thick with anticipation, like the entire brothel knew its mistress had finally stopped resisting.She walked the halls barefoot, the carpet hot against her soles. The hunger stirred again—sharper now, greedy, demanding more than one man’s pulse. Her body still thrummed from Daniel’s surrender, but that taste had only whetted her appetite.The House heard her need. And it answered.Doors creaked open as she passed.In the lounge, three men waited. They weren’t clients—at least, not ones who had paid. They stood in a loose circle, each in varying states of dishevelment, eyes glassy, as though summoned from the street and deposited here by unseen hands. One was broad-shouldered, black hair falling into his eyes; another lean and sharp-faced, tattoos snaking up his arms; the last younger,

The morning after tasted like ash on her tongue.She sat at the vanity in her aunt’s room—her room now—and stared at herself in the mirror. The girl in the glass didn’t look like a girl anymore. She looked like a predator who’d been caught mid-hunt, breathless and wild-eyed, the shame clinging to her like smoke. Her lips still looked swollen, her throat dry from gasping and begging in that alley when strangers had seen too much.And the most dangerous thing about this hunger of hers was that she doesn't care who saw her or what she does when it gets a hold on her and when she is with her prey. It was only afterwards that she remembers and is shocked at it all. But by then, the deed was already done. She remembered seeing a movie of a man who was bitten by a werewolf and gradually turned into one, himself. Every night, the hunger, the Uncontrollable urge to feed came upon him and he goes out into the night and tears anyone he finds to pieces, feeding with their blood. He remembers aft

By dawn, the house was still. The merchant and the soldiers had been ushered out with trembling legs and slack smiles, their coin purses lighter, their bodies marked by something they would never be able to explain.She should have felt shame. She should have felt fear. Instead, as she leaned back against her door, sweat drying on her bare skin, she felt a slow, heavy satisfaction.The hunger was silent for the first time in weeks. Her body still hummed from the echoes of it, her thighs sore, her lips tender, but her blood ran steady again.She had fed. Truly fed. And she had survived it.But the house hadn’t.By afternoon, whispers stirred in the parlor. The girls she’d inherited along with the brothel were curious, wide-eyed, exchanging glances when they thought she wasn’t looking. One of them, a red-haired courtesan named Celeste, caught her in the hall and whispered, “They said you didn’t just bed them—you broke them.”The words weren’t accusation. They were awe. Fear tangled with
