[Kael's POV]She thinks she is hiding how badly she wants this, but the way her breath catches every time I move closer gives her away completely, and I have to fight the urge to smile because I know smiling right now would only make her dig her heels in harder. I circle her slowly, letting my fingertips graze the soft skin under her arm just enough to raise gooseflesh without giving her the full press of my hand, and when she shivers I feel it travel straight down my spine and settle heavy in my cock, already thick and aching against the thin silk that does nothing to hide how ready I am for her. I slide one hand up to cup her breast through the silk, thumb circling the tight peak slowly while my other hand drifts lower, fingers slipping under the hem to find her soaked and swollen. The first touch of her slick heat against my fingertips pulls a low groan out of me before I can stop it. “Because this greedy little cunt is telling a very different story, Seraphine. Been wet like th

 [Kael's POV]I lay her down on the altar stone and for a moment I just look at her, really look, taking in the way the violet light catches on the fresh marks I carved into her skin, how they glow faintly like embers under the surface, matching the ones burning across my own chest and abdomen. Seraphine’s eyes are wide but steady now, no more pretending this is only the temple’s will forcing her hand. She reaches up and traces the spiral over my heart with one fingertip, careful around the thin lines of blood that have already started to dry, and the simple touch sends a jolt through me stronger than anything her body has done so far.“You’re bleeding,” she says softly, almost like she is surprised by it even though she watched me make the cuts.“Worth it,” I tell her, covering her hand with mine and pressing it harder against the mark. “Every drop ties us tighter. You feel it too, don’t you?”

[Nora's POV]I could not believe how fast the storm had turned the mountain road into a trap, the engine giving one final cough before quitting completely while snow piled against the windshield.My phone showed one pathetic bar of signal that vanished every time I tried to dial for help, so I shoved it deep into my coat pocket, slung my backpack over one shoulder with the laptop and charger inside, and stepped out into the kind of cold that instantly stole the breath from my lungs and made my fingers ache within seconds.I started walking toward the only thing I could still see through the swirling flakes, a single warm yellow light glowing in the distance.When I finally reached the cabin the structure, I pounded on the door with the side of my fist, the sound swallowed almost immediately, and waited until heavy footsteps approached from inside. The door opened and he stood there filling the entire frame, tall enough that I had to tilt my head back to m

 Caleb turned slowly, hands raised a little like he was approaching something wild. "Nora—""Don't." I took one step back, then another, until my spine hit the edge of the counter. "Answer the question. Did you clear the road just enough so my car would get stuck and I'd end up knocking on your door?"He exhaled through his nose, shoulders dropping like he had been waiting for this moment and dreading it at the same time. "Yes."The admission landed like a punch I had braced for but still felt. I laughed once, short and bitter. "Jesus Christ. How long have you been watching me?""Not watching." He stepped closer but stopped when I held up a hand. "I saw your name on a booking alert. Some old industry list I never unsubscribed from. I knew the route you were taking. I had the road plowed just far enough that someone who did not know exactly where to look would miss the turnoff and end up here when the storm hit. I told myself it was noth

I pulled her tighter against my chest in the sudden darkness, her warm breath ghosting across my throat while the echo of her whisper still lingered between us like a warning I had no intention of heeding. The cabin groaned and shifted around us as another savage gust of wind slammed into the walls, making the old timbers flex and creak under the immense pressure of the storm, but none of that mattered in this moment because all I could focus on was the naked woman in my arms, her heart hammering against mine after every raw confession we had dragged into the open. Nora shifted slowly in my lap, her bare breasts pressing flush and warm against my chest while her thighs remained straddled over me on the rumpled furs, and even in the total blackness I could feel how slick and swollen her pussy still was where it rested hot against my cock, which was already thickening again at the simple contact of her wet heat. She rolled her hips once in a slow, deliberate grind that dragged her soa
