All Chapters of Forbidden Flames:Tangled Desires : Chapter 21

Night falls over the estate like a velvet blanket. The sky outside Seraphina's window is dark, scattered with stars that seem impossibly bright in the absence of city lights. The room is quiet except for the soft crackle of the fireplace and the distant howl of wind through the trees.Seraphina lies on the big bed, still wearing the clothes she wore earlier. She has not been able to move, has not been able to think, has not been able to do anything but replay the events of the afternoon in an endless loop.The kiss. The command. The way she knelt without hesitation.She presses her palms against her burning cheeks. What is wrong with her? She has never been like this before. She has never let anyone control her, never wanted anyone to control her. She has always been independent, strong, self-sufficient.But something about Julian breaks through all her defenses. Something about his voice, his eyes, his absolute certainty that she will obey him.
