Captivated Tessa Bailey Novels & Stories

“You were right.” Bailey kissed his hand like a queen takes a prize. The soldiers made soft sounds of approval. Each sound felt like a small knife in my skin. I wanted to shout. I wanted to throw every truth at them,how Bailey used magic, how she turned people, how she fed fear. I wanted to tell the truth about the marks, the whispers, the killings. But my tongue was heavy. The ropes were strong. The men stood close. My body would not move. Bailey looked back just before she left. “Enjoy your last nights,” she said. “Taste your pain. It will make your end sweeter.” Then Valen and the soldiers left. Their boots beat like a drum into the dark.

He remembered telling Tessa, “If you love me.” He knew those words were powerful. He knew she could not resist. He looked at the ceiling and smiled. “Love is easy to control.” Back at the mansion, Tessa was still awake. She was imagining the future. She imagined Gabriel smiling at her. Thanking her. Holding her hand. Maybe even talking about marriage one day. She felt proud. She would save him. She would prove her love. But she did not know— She was walking into a trap.

Jessica looked up at him with hazy eyes and did as he said, without complaint!

Ezekiel watched silently. He still remembered Madeline’s warning, and the name burned in his mind: Reailks. If what Madeline saw was true, then none of them were safe..not even Tessa, especially not her. But now… she was the hero. And that made her even more less suspicious. Hours later… Tessa was surrounded by praises. One of the healers called her "the soul w

, gym bag slung over one shoulder at dawn, shirtless push-ups on his own balcony when the sun first cleared the rooftops. His name was Levi. She’d learned it from the mailbox downstairs, though they’d never spoken more than a nod. Until tonight. Tessa stepped onto her balcony in a thin white tank and cotton shorts, hair piled messily on top of her head, a half-empty glass of rose in one hand and a pack of cigarettes in the other. She didn’t smoke often anymore—just when the quiet felt too loud. She lit one, inhaled, let the smoke curl upward into the heavy dusk.

Liam and Cole were on one team, Belle and Joseph were on the next team which left Gonzalez and me. We went to the west of the building while the rest stormed in from the east and the north. I heard a tiny whimper as I walked deeper into the warehouse, hiding behind crates of who knows what. My gaze found Gonzalez in a silent question, did he hear that as well or was I just tripping? When I heard another whimper from my right I turned in the direction of the sound. I tapped on my mic to get the guy's attention. "What's her name?" "Its Anastasia"

The exact way she looked at your body... the casual way she talked about your past history together in Reno... it just made me feel so incredibly small and plain. It made me feel like I am nothing but a temporary distraction in your bed. Like one day very soon you are going to wake up, look at me, and realize you actually want

I could feel the intrigue enveloping me, and the allure of her unspoken proposition was now tantalizingly close. "Let’s discuss the details," I said, my voice dropping to a husky whisper laden with anticipation. As we delved deeper into negotiations, the tension between us simmered, each word we exchanged charged with an unspoken attraction. I found myself captivated, not just by the business implications of her offer but by the mysteries that lay beneath her composed exterior. What secrets was Flynn harboring? What depths of ambition and desire were hidden just below the surface of our ongoing dialogue? The air crackled with possibilities, and I was more than willing to explore them.

someone exclaimed. Colleen gazed at her in the vanity mirror. Tessa was wearing a white off-shoulder gown that perfectly showcased her delicate collarbones. With her chin slightly raised, revealing her fair neck, she resembled a proud swan, exuding an air of elegance and grace. Her face lit up with a radiant smile as she held Colleen’s hand. "Mom, I can finally marry Gabriel. My wish has come true." "Our Tessa is the most talented and beautiful young lady in Springvale. Of course, you deserve everything you desire," Colleen replied, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction witnessing her daughter's engagement to Gabriel.

She needed more time to rest and relax to recover and that two minute wasn't enough, she'd be needing like thirty minute. Struggling to get on her feet, she fell to the floor, he'd had her crippled, tears formed in her eyes as she sobbed softly, she'd had always heard rumors about his insatiable thirst for sex and had made a bet to get him down, from her experience with him now, he was far more worse than what they describe him as, a sex monster is what he is and should be referred to as not god. From how damaged her body was, she knew she would be spending more than a week in the hospital and she wasn't sure that she'd be having enough money for paying the bill, most especially when she had
