9. The Taste of Fire

The silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating.Estrella’s heart pounded violently against her ribs, the rhythm so loud it echoed in her ears. Her eyes remained wide, frozen in sheer disbelief as King Asher’s raw, unfiltered confession hung in the quiet, candlelit air of the bedchamber.Made me fall even harder.The words echoed in her mind, sending a chaotic surge of heat and confusion straight through her veins.
