Burning Heart Book Novels & Stories

But inside her chest, there was no peace. Burn. The sensation was constant. A searing heat right over her heart, pulsing in rhythm with her heartbeat, reminding her. It wasn't just pain; it was a brand. A leash. It felt as if a red-hot iron had been pressed into her soul, and it never truly cooled down. It was always there, a dull ache that flared into agony whenever she dared to disobey. “Why do you hesitate?” The voice grated against her mind like sandpaper on stone. It was everywhere, filling her head, leaving no room for her own thoughts. It echoed in the hollow spaces of her skull, loud, demanding, and cruel.

His fingers, rough with calluses, traced paths across my skin repeatedly, sending delightful shivers through me. I couldn't help but let out a few soft moans. His heavy breathing intensified, and, appearing emboldened, his hand continued its exploration lower down my body. His low, husky voice resonated in my ear, laden with a seductive quality, as he asked, "Is it alright if I continue, Cynthia?" I lowered my gaze in a flush of shyness, a gesture that served as my implicit consent. William could no longer suppress the overwhelming passion he felt. He immediately pulled me into his embrace.

I'll make orders and you'll do them instantly. She was nervous, shocked, and wondered what she had gotten into. Even though she found him attractive, she didn't know it would happen so soon with dominance and power. She wants him as well, and he was irresistibly hot with his bare chest and the black pants he was in, she could see the hardness of his cock from his pants. She quickly moved over to the table where his laptop and books were kept to drop the tray.

Chapter 55 Set Fire and Burn by Ruth Nalio Angelica… How could a heart ache when it no longer existed? I had become something unholy—flame-wreathed bone, a screaming soul bound in fire. When I snapped, I didn’t break—I burned. My rage flared hotter than the sun, a molten scream that cracked the earth open beneath my feet and pulled the sky down in a frenzy of tornados.

So we carved it into the spaces between bullets and betrayals.” “We didn’t fall in love. We folded it into the war and dared it to survive.” —Aria

“Despite that, it wasn’t your fault, you should be wise enough to know that you need a break before catching any so-called feelings for anybody.” “Your heart needs to heal from all of this. Don't you get it Emily?” Never in my life have I seen Aunt Claudia exert so much intensity in her anger. Well, not like I have known her for long but I have only always felt a sort of happy aura around her. “I'm sorry Aunty, I understand this.” I was just about to explain myself further but our conversation was interrupted by a similar anonymous text message again and I quietly read it to myself at once.

I said as she gave me a look, then she nodded her head. “Okay boss, whatever you like. Fifteen minutes.” “Thank you.” I said as I closed the door. Lydia wasn't in my office anymore and I didn’t waste a second. I grabbed my phone. My fingers moved faster than my thoughts, I went straight to the reading app and I saw Inked Heart heart The book loaded instantly, like it had been waiting for me. “The One I Was Never Meant to Love.” My chest tightened again. “Why does that title sound worse today?” I muttered.

There, a slight burn, quite faint but it ended all too quickly, seared on my left chest. Was that a bad sign or a good sign? I casted my eyes downward to my left chest, to where my tattoo was.

Was that supposed to happen? Was that supposed to glow like that? Did the curse break that confession?

“Something real. Not a memory of a party or a name of a person we both hate. Tell me something you see right now.” I looked around the room. I saw the way the firelight danced on the gold leaf of the book spines. I saw the dust motes dancing in the air like tiny, silent stars. I saw the way the shadows made him look younger, softer. “I see the fire,” I said, my voice low and melodic. “It’s dying down to embers, a soft, glowing orange. It looks like the heart of a mountain. And the books… they look like a city of paper, all standing at attention, waiting for someone to listen to them. And I see a man who is far more than the darkness he’s been handed.”
