Quicksand

Chapter 15

The shower's warm water cascaded down, but I felt only ice-cold fear. I sat in the huge bathtub, Adrik positioned directly across from me, his gaze fixed on me like a predator sizing up its prey.

His eyes roamed over my body, lingering on every curve, every contour. I felt exposed, vulnerable.

'You're even more beautiful than I imagined,' he whispered, his voice low and husky.

I tried to shield myself, but Adrik's gaze pierced through my defenses.

'Don't hide from me,' he ordered, his voice firm but laced with menace. 'You'll soon learn to revel in my attention.'

His words sent shivers down my spine.

I felt trapped, alone and defenseless against this monster.

Adrik's eyes seemed to burn with an unholy hunger, his intensity suffocating.

'You're mine now,' he growled, his voice echoing off the marble tiles.

My heart pounded, racing with every passing second

He had forcibly stripped me naked and dragged me to the bathroom, where a filled tub awaited.
'Get in,' he growled, his eyes blazing with intensity.
Tears streamed down my face as he grasped my arm, pulling me closer to the tub.
I shudder at the memory of his grip, the feel of his eyes on my exposed skin
As i gazed at Adrik, his physical perfection undeniable. His chiseled face, sharp jawline, and piercing eyes made him a vision of masculine beauty. The defined V-line of his torso, the ridges of his six-pack, and broad shoulders left no doubt about his exceptional physique.

But despite his stunning appearance, a shiver ran down my spine. There was something unsettling about his intensity, something that made me feel trapped.

He would have effortlessly won over any girl, but not me. I saw beyond the captivating exterior to the darkness lurking within. His eyes, though mesmerizing, seemed to hold a sinister gleam, a hint of possession.

Adrik's gaze met mine, and for an instant, I felt the air thicken with tension. His eyes seemed to bore into my soul, searching for vulnerabilities to exploit."

Adrik's voice dropped to a low growl, his eyes burning with intensity.

'Stop looking at me like that,' he warned, 'or else I might just give in to my craving and have you.'

His words sent shivers down my spine.

I swiftly averted my gaze, but Adrik's voice stopped me cold.

'Don't look away from me,' he snarled, his tone eerily animalistic.

I spun back, startled. His eyes blazed with an unsettling intensity.

'First, you tell me to stop looking at you, and now you're demanding I don't look away?' I asked, confusion and fear mingling.

Adrik's laughter sent shivers down my spine. His eyes gleamed with a predatory intensity.

'You're way too innocent, my love,' he whispered, his voice husky. 'That's why I like you. Your innocence draws me in like a magnet.'

His words made my skin crawl.

'I want to taint you, ruin you, have you,' he continued, his voice dripping with desire. 'I desire you, every part of you.'

I felt trapped, suffocating under his gaze.

'You're scared, aren't you?' Adrik asked, his tone teasing.
