I Go from Betrayal to PossessionChapter 1

“Have you tried yourself as I suggested, Nadine?” my lover’s voice was a low, seductive hum, laced with a playful challenge.

We were alone in his room on the second floor, while the ground floor buzzed with the chaotic energy of his usual house party.

The laughter and music below felt like a distant world, one I had no desire to return to.

I nodded, the heat already creeping up my cheeks.

He smiled, a proud gleam in his eyes as he rose from the bed, his gaze never leaving mine. “Can you show me?”

A knot of hesitation twisted in my stomach, but his expectant eyes were hard to refuse.

There was something about the way he looked at me—like I was his entire world. And for that reason alone, I could not disappoint him.

I nodded again, my fingers trembling as I lay back on the bed.

The sheets were cool against my skin, but the chill was quickly overtaken by the fire Raphael had lit within me.

Slowly, my fingers trailed over my body, starting from the delicate curve of my neck down to my core. I shut my eyes, imagining his touch instead of mine, just as he had suggested.
