The chamber was thick with silence, yet charged with an electricity neither of them could deny. Seraphina's heart raced as she stood near the window, moonlight painting her skin in pale silver. Every nerve in her body tingled with anticipation, every thought dominated by him—Kael, the Devil's son, her husband, her tormentor, and her temptation all at once.
Kael's presence was sudden, inevitable. He appeared from the shadows, his eyes dark, unreadable, yet burning with intent. "You can't hide from this," he murmured, stepping closer, his voice low, vibrating with both warning and promise.
Seraphina's breath caught. "From… what?" she asked, though she already knew.
He closed the distance, the warmth of his body brushing hers, hands hovering near her waist. The subtle pressure made her knees weak, her pulse quicken. "From me… from desire… from the truth you've been trying to deny."
Her hands trembled, unsure whether to push him away or pull him closer. The heat radiating from him was intoxicating, overwhelming. Every part of her body screamed to surrender, yet fear mingled with the thrill.
Kael's lips brushed hers—not a kiss, but a tantalizing tease, soft enough to ignite flames she couldn't contain. "Say it," he whispered, his breath ghosting over her skin. "Tell me you want this… that you want me."
Seraphina's body shivered, a mix of longing and shock. "I… I want… you," she whispered, the words trembling but true.
His smirk deepened, dark and predatory. "Good," he murmured. "Because I want you more than you can imagine."
His hands slid over her waist, pulling her close. Every inch of her body pressed to his, hearts racing in sync, breaths mingling in the tense, delicious space between them. She could feel the strength in him, the restraint, the hunger—all coiled, ready to explode.
Kael's lips claimed hers then, soft at first, then firmer, deeper. Desire flared between them, hot and dangerous, a fire neither could resist. Seraphina's hands trembled as they grazed his chest, feeling the heat, the taut muscles, the undeniable power beneath his calm exterior.
They broke apart just slightly, gasping for air, foreheads pressed together. "You're mine," Kael murmured, voice low and possessive. "And I will have every part of you… eventually."
Seraphina's breath came in ragged gasps, body and mind alight with heat and emotion. The danger, the fear, the thrill—all merged into one irresistible force. She knew there would be no escape from him, no resisting the pull that bound them together.
The night stretched on, silent but alive, their shared heat filling the room. Every look, every brush of skin, every whispered word drove them closer to the edge of temptation.
