All Chapters of DARK OBSESSIONS : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The sun dipped low over the rolling hills of the vineyard, casting long shadows that danced like forgotten secrets across the manicured lawns. Jamie Whitaker stood at the edge of the reception tent, a glass of champagne forgotten in his hand, his eyes scanning the crowd with a restlessness he couldn't quite name. It had been twelve years since he'd last seen Elena Voss—twelve years of burying the memory of that awkward, electrifying kiss in his childhood closet, the one that had left him breathless and confused at fourteen. Now, at twenty-six, he was a successful architect in the city, building skyscrapers to touch the clouds while his personal life remained firmly grounded in solitude. The invitation to his father's wedding had felt like a summons from fate, but he hadn't expected her to be the bride's daughter. Elena appeared like a apparition from his dreams, weaving through the guests in a emerald green dress that hugged her curves with an effortless grace. Her dark hair cascaded

The black sedan crunched to a stop on the circular gravel drive. Alex stepped out into the cold January drizzle of 2026, duffel bag slung over one shoulder, the weight of the inheritance already pressing on his chest like a stone. Nineteen years old, college dropout by choice, and now—according to the lawyer who’d just driven away—master of Whitaker Manor. The house rose before him like a crouched beast: three stories of gray stone, ivy choking the windows, turrets that looked ready to swallow the sky. He’d visited once as a child. The place had smelled of old books and older secrets. Now it smelled of nothing at all. The massive oak door opened before he could knock. Mira stood framed in the doorway. Thirty-eight, tall, raven hair pulled into a severe bun that did nothing to soften the sharp beauty of her face. Black dress, high-necked but clinging, ending just above the knee. Black heels that clicked like gunshots on the marble foyer. Her eyes—deep brown, almost black—locked onto

This morning she woke him at dawn with a single word whispered against his ear: “Today.” Today was the day of the final mark. She had him bound spread-eagle on the padded leather table, wrists and ankles secured with thick cuffs. A blindfold covered his eyes, plunging him into darkness so complete that every sound, every brush of her fingers, felt amplified tenfold. His cock stood rigid against his stomach, already leaking from the slow, teasing prostate massage she’d given him while the plug still nestled deep inside. He heard her moving—soft footfalls, the metallic clink of tools, the low hum of the tattoo machine being tested. When she removed the blindfold, the first thing he saw was her: naked, skin gleaming with oil, Harlan’s heavy signet ring hanging between her breasts on a thin chain. In her hand: the tattoo gun, needle already loaded with black ink. Alex’s heart slammed against his ribs. “The family crest,” she said softly, almost reverently. “On the shaft. Perman

The church clock struck nine forty-seven with a low, mournful toll that echoed through the empty nave of St. Augustine’s. Cecilia knelt in the confessional booth on the Gospel side, knees already aching against the worn prie-dieu. The space was small, intimate, suffocating in the best and worst ways—dark oak panels, the faint smell of old incense, beeswax, and the ghost of countless whispered sins. The lattice screen between her side and the priest’s was thin, intricately carved with tiny fleur-de-lis that let slivers of light and shadow pass through like secrets. She had come here three nights in a row now. Each time later than the last. Each time alone with Father Julian Reyes. He had arrived in the parish six weeks earlier—twenty-nine, newly ordained, fresh from the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Tall, lean, with dark hair that fell just over his forehead when he prayed and eyes the color of strong coffee. His voice still carried the soft lilt of someone who thou

The circle resumed chanting—louder now, faster, a heartbeat that matched her own. The Veiled One lifted her effortlessly, laid her on the velvet altar. Her legs were spread wide, wrists and ankles secured with soft black silk to the four corners. She was open, exposed, helpless—and dripping.He knelt between her thighs. “Tonight,” he said, voice carrying to every corner of the hall, “we begin the rite of the Eternal Seed. We take her. We fill her. We breed her. And she will beg for more.” He leaned forward and licked her cunt—slow, deliberate, tongue flat and broad, tasting every inch of her arousal. Liora cried out, hips bucking off the altar. He sucked her clit, flicked it with the tip of his tongue, then plunged deep inside her—fucking her with his mouth while the chanting rose around them. She came almost instantly—hard, shuddering, squirting onto his face in hot pulses. The circle cheered softly, reverently. The Veiled One rose, cock dripping with her release and his own vio
