Daisy Time seemed to slow to a halt the moment Caspian's lips met mind, and the soft, grounding kiss didn't stay gentle for long.The moment the storm inside the bond didn't take too long before it morphed into a suffocating wave of pure, raw intimacy.Almost as if he could feel it, Caspian let out a dark, ragged groan against my mouth and deepened the kiss, his tongue invading my mouth with a sudden, bruising hunger that made my head spin. His hands came alive, roaming frantically all over my body, his palms scorching hot through the damp fabric of my dress.The bond detonated between us then, like a wild, starving thing that made me arch into his touch, whimpering as I clawed at his shoulders. He stepped closer, burying his weight into me, and I could feel the thick, rigid length of his erection poking directly into my thigh.He was kissing me so furiously it felt like he wanted to consume me entirely. He caught my bottom lip between his teeth, biting down hard enough to drag a

Daisy The first thing I became aware of was warmth and it wasn't the lazy, comfortable warmth of sunlight filtering through curtains. This one came in the solid, all consuming heat of a male body pressed against mine. His arm was locked around my waist, his hand splayed across my lower belly, and his chest was nothing short of a furnace against my back.My eyes snapped open and reality crashed over me in a tidal wave of memories. I remembered the desk, the papers scattering, the sting of his hand across my ass, the bite. The fucking bite. My cheeks flooded with heat so intense I thought I might actually combust. I could feel the mark on my neck throb with each beat of my heart, a constant, physical reminder of last night. It was a reminder of what I'd done, of what he'd done to me, and more confusingly, what I'd wanted him to do.I shifted slightly, testing the soreness in my muscles and everything ached. My thighs, my lower back, my shoulders. There were marks on my skin, finge

Daisy The second the duo disappeared up the stairs and I heard the office doors shut behind Caspian and Elias, the dining hall became unbearably quiet, but it wasn't the peaceful kind. It was suffocating and the kind that pressed against my ears until every tiny sound felt amplified, from the faint ticking of the clock near the fireplace, to the soft hiss of rain still streaking against the tall windows, and the quiet clink of Octavian setting his untouched coffee cup down on the marble counter.I stayed frozen beside the table, painfully aware of the mark throbbing on my neck like it had developed its own heartbeat.Octavian still wouldn’t look at me.God, this was worse.I almost wished he’d yell, or accuse me, or say something cruel enough for me to defend myself against.Instead, he just stood there in silence, dressed entirely in black while gray morning light cut across the sharp angles of his face. He looked exhausted in a way sleep couldn’t fix.“What’s wrong with him?” I

Daisy I didn’t mean to overhear them, and judging from everything that had happened from me and Caspian's passionate night to Elias's sudden arrival, I think the moon goddess would agree that I actually needed a break. Honestly, I would’ve preferred ignorance at this point. Ignorance felt safer than whatever this house kept trying to turn me into, but the estate was too quiet in the mornings.Every sound traveled and especially voices sharpened by tension.I had only meant to go downstairs for coffee because sleep had abandoned me sometime around dawn. My thoughts had spent the entire night tangled between Caspian’s mark burning against my throat and Octavian’s silence wrapping around my chest like wire.By the time I reached the upper landing overlooking the west corridor, I heard Elias first.His voice was cold and terrifyingly calm, but all it did was make my nerves spike. “She needs to attend.”“No.” Caspian’s answer came instantly and violently enough that I stopped moving a
