Caresses

"Il a touché mon corps comme un médecin. Mais j’ai senti son trouble, son hésitation. Ce frisson imperceptible qui a parcouru sa peau quand mes soupirs se sont mêlés à ses gestes. Sous ses mains expertes, j’ai senti mon corps trahir ma raison. Je suis sa patiente. Il est mon médecin. Peut-être que j’ai imaginé. Peut-être que j’ai rêvé. Ou peut-être que lui aussi, il est en train de céder." Dans le calme feutré de son cabinet, le docteur Adrien Morel vivait une vie parfaitement orchestrée, où tout était sous contrôle. Jusqu’à elle. Camille n’était pas comme ses autres patientes. Avec son regard lumineux et son sourire empreint de défi, elle apportait une chaleur inattendue dans son univers aseptisé. Ce qui devait être une simple consultation devint une série de rendez-vous où chaque échange les rapprochait un peu plus. Pourtant, entre eux se dressaient des barrières : son serment de médecin, son passé à elle, et des secrets qu’ils n’osaient partager. Mais parfois, le cœur décide pour nous. Et contre toute logique, leur rencontre allait tout bouleverser. Un amour interdit. Un lien inébranlable. Et des conséquences qu’aucun d’eux n’aurait pu imaginer

Ma secrétaire ou ma femme ? Quand l’épouse délaisse, la secrétaire enlace… Fred étouffe entre les silences d’une femme trop connectée à tout, sauf à lui. À la maison, Christelle oublie son rôle ; au bureau, Niclette le redécouvre. Ce qui n’était que coups d’œil discrets devient caresses de l’âme. Jusqu’où peut-on glisser quand l’amour change de bureau ?

Je suis partie en vacances avec l'intention d'oublier mon échec à l'université. Au lieu de cela, la chaleur m'a déshabillée, des regards volés se sont mués en caresses, des caresses en désirs. Avec lui, chaque désir prenait son temps ; il couvait, s'accumulait dans les chambres partagées jusqu'à ce que la retenue devienne un mensonge dont nous étions tous deux lassés. Ce que nous avons fait là-bas était à la fois intense et dangereux, un secret inscrit sur mon corps avant même que je prononce son nom à voix haute. Je savais que ça ne durerait pas. Je savais ce que ça coûtait. Mais dans ce lieu emprunté, je me suis laissée aller à le désirer pleinement et ce sont devenus les plus belles vacances de ma vie, car pour une fois, je n'ai pas réprimé un plaisir si intense.

Ils s’aiment comme on se noie : sans retenue, sans air, sachant que chaque vague les rapproche du fond. Leurs jours sont des nuits blanches, leurs caresses des batailles, leurs silences des aveux trop lourds. Puis un matin, sans un mot, elle part. Non par lassitude, mais par lucidité. Certains incendies sont trop beaux pour devenir des cendres. Elle emporte l’incendie entier dans sa poitrine. Une cicatrice à vif qui, désormais, éclaire toutes ses nuits. L’amour passe. L’intensité, elle, demeure.

Love can hit you when you least expect it. It could be a soft easy wind that caresses you and gets stronger over time till it absorbs into your body and heart. Other times it can hit you like a gale-force wind and take every breath you will ever have. Laken stole my breath. She was my gale-force wind, and I will gladly give her every breath I have just to keep her safe, alive, and mine. If I have to live without her then I don’t want my breath. I don’t want anything but her. I will go to hell and back to get her from the grips of death.

I'm severely allergic to many things, so my husband buys a separate villa for me. It's supposed to be sort of a nursing home. When my future daughter-in-law learns about this, she thinks my son is cheating on her. She breaks my bones to vent her anger. When she finds out I'm her future mother-in-law, she caresses her belly and looks at me smugly. "I'm already pregnant with Shawn's child. Think about whether you want this child to make it into this world." What she doesn't know is that the Ziegler family's fortune belongs to me and that Shawn Ziegler is only my adoptive son.

After I was brought back from the kidnapping, my mafia boss husband, Jonathan Caruso, arranges for me to live in a new villa. "You've suffered so much over the years, Nat…" Jonathan caresses the scar on my face, sympathy and pain evident on his face. As I listen to his words, I just smirk in return. Sure, he's been keeping up a loving and devoted facade. Unfortunately for him, I've always known that he doesn't want me to survive at all. After all, he's the one who has delivered me into the dark and damp water prison three years ago as a wedding gift for Governor Frederick Romano in order to marry his daughter, Kelsey Romano.

She was a piece of Heaven he wanted to own. And he, was the flames of Hell she wanted to tame. "You must be tired." The unparalleled face softens with an indulging smile, and I nod hastily like a chick pecking at grains. My reason, wisdom, and rationality became words of a foreign tongue when the fingers tangled amongst my hair trail down to my cheekbones. The caresses like the fine strokes of a paint brush that gave colour to my skin. "But next time." His eyes of hellfire narrows, reflecting the features of a iolite-eyed mortal, and crimson lips pull back over sharp canines. "I might not be as easy to tame." ■What happens when the greek god of the Underworld becomes the 'Grumpy Patient' to a kind hearted mortal, burdened by a curse untold and a gift unrivalled.■ Slow burn Update schedule : Every 2 days ◇
