The Silent Force Within Temptation Novels & Stories

Fear of being consumed by my desire for them. It was wrong. What I felt for them was forbidden, yet in the darkest part of my soul, it felt right. It was awfully quiet and Sarah seemed to be affected by my mood as she didn’t neigh. She just rode on, quiet except for the clip-clop of her hooves on the hard earth. She was not just any horse; she was a beautiful, pure-white mare that stood as a silent companion in my world of chaos. Her coat, as white as the driven snow, seemed almost otherworldly amidst the rugged backdrop of the ranch.

Jace’s voice, Jace’s breathing, Jace’s pleasure had made something inside him fracture. Now he watched in silence. Silence was worse. Silence meant he was left alone with his thoughts, with the images carved into his mind. Silence meant the betrayal echoed louder inside his head. He sat in the dark of his penthouse office, the only light coming from the laptop. The city glittered below him. The world did not stop just because Elias’s did. He took another gulp from the glass in his hand. Scotch. His fourth, maybe his fifth, he was not tracking anymore.

Everything about her screamed sensual, and my body listened too eagerly. My jaw clenched. My hands remained at my sides. I couldn’t touch her. I shouldn’t touch her. But I wanted to. She was a temptation I had chased through blood and fire. I had deployed half my men to find her. And now that she was here—in my room, in my clothes, looking like the fantasy I didn’t know I had—I was supposed to ignore that? Damn you, fate. Then she did something truly evil.

I pleaded to the man, but all that came out was a muffled noise. "Shh, it's okay, I got you. Don't be disobedient or else you won't like what I'll do to you." The man said in a smoky voice. I tried to get out of his hold using my hands but he was too strong. "You looked so fucking cute in the halls earlier. Like a lost puppy. You really caught my attention angel." The hand that was in my shirt was taken back and he clasped both of my hands tightly, I'm pretty sure it would leave a bruise by how much force the man was exerting.

Tina pushed her bottom lip out in a pout, crossing her arms over her chest as she paused in the opening to Skylar's cubicle and watched as Skylar sat down and wiggled the mouse to wake her computer screen. Skylar ignored Tina's pout and opened the available placements memo from that morning. Mostly more accounting firms, law offices, and a couple big companies looking for mailroom temps. Skylar stopped scrolling and clicked on one of the placements. She knew it must be the one Tina was talking about because she heard an excited squeak behind her. Banscroft Empires. Looking for a temp placement for CEO James Banscroft's personal secretary. Skylar quickly clicked apply and said a quick prayer

He lowered himself to be face to face with her as she took in a sharp breath. "You are mine." He said using his alpha tone. Emma didn't know why but his voice commanded her to submit to him. But she was sane. "I-it's f-forbidden." She mumbled while peeking at him through her thick black lashes, afraid. "A sinful temptation." He rasped with dark intense emotion dancing in his forest hues.

“It makes slaves of us, if we allow it. It tempts us to surrender what should be sacred.” Her hand did not move away. Instead, her fingers slid lightly down my arm, tracing the seam of my sleeve, grazing the inside of my wrist. “But…” she murmured, “to know desire is to know the depth of temptation. To resist it, we must feel it first. Do you understand?” My breath quickened. My heart thundered. I wanted to say no, to say I did not understand, to cry out that I wanted nothing to do with this. But my lips would not move.

I said, forcing myself to sit up. “Agreed, we rest tonight and tomorrow we trek through night and day to get us through the thickest parts of the forest. I’ve heard some crazy things about this place. Temptation forest is exactly that, a complete temptation. Built to trick you into straying from your path to indulge in your deepest fears and desires.” My stomach twisted in knots as I stared at the trees. They stood still, not a single branch moving, no birds singing, no wildlife at all actually. And something about that was extremely unsettling.

The combination of the pill’s potent effects, my already building climax, and Ethan’s presence creating this taboo exhilaration had me under its spell. There was no stopping now. Not when I was so close. Locking eyes with him, I bit my lower lip and let the hand covering my mouth fall away. I wanted him to hear me. My breaths came out in ragged pants and soft whimpers as I pushed myself right to the edge again under his watchful, disbelieving gaze. “I... can’t… stop…” I panted, barely recognizing my own voice. It sounded smoky, wanton. The tension was cresting; my entire body drew taut like a bowstring. “

Every time he comes back from these so-called business meetings, he is always on Edge. “He’s unholy, he’s dirty, and you must be kept pure.” He said forcing our eyes to meet. The tip of his thumb brushed my lips. He let my hair go, stumbling back as tho he was tipsy. “Take off your clothes” I did as instructed, no questioning. The first whip struck me hard forcing me to bite my lips. The dry leather belt landed again on my back, this time with more force. Two more whips and then he spoke “ You’re pure, because of me. Do you know what happens when you let temptation take over? You become basked in sin.” He spoke.
