In a world where magic meets secrecy, Eden-a bold, playful witch with a penchant for intense, dark desires-ventures into the hidden side of the wizarding dating world. She never expected to cross paths with a wizard as enigmatic and quietly commandi...
The following day at the laboratory, Eden was deep in her work, focusing on a particularly challenging candy formulation, when an unexpected delivery arrived.
A large, striking bouquet of deep red roses mixed with darker, almost black calla lilies—flowers that perfectly mirrored the intensity of the night before—was placed on her desk. The sudden appearance of such a dramatic arrangement drew immediate attention from her coworkers, who gathered around, their expressions a mix of curiosity and amusement.

"Looks like lover boy returns," one of her colleagues teased, nudging her playfully.
Eden forced a smile, playing along despite the flutter of her heart and the heat creeping up her cheeks. "I hope not. I hope they're from someone new," she quipped, trying to deflect the building curiosity. Her colleagues laughed, shaking their heads at her feigned nonchalance.
As the crowd dispersed, Eden quickly opened the accompanying card, her fingers trembling slightly. She glanced around to ensure no one was paying too much attention before she read the contents. The note inside was written in a firm, elegant script, but the words were anything but proper. It was a direct, intensely dominant message that echoed the dark, commanding tone Severus had used with her.
"Every time you close your eyes today, I want you to remember how you felt last night, bound and at my mercy. Think of how you'll feel the next time I have you. I will continue where we left off, exploring every inch of you, claiming what is rightfully mine. Await my instructions."
The raw, explicit content of the note made her heart race and her body respond with an involuntary shiver. It was too risqué to even consider reading aloud, a secret reminder of her entanglement with Severus that was as thrilling as it was scandalous.
Hiding the card quickly at the bottom of her drawer, Eden took a deep breath, trying to refocus on her work. Yet, the memory of Severus's words, both written and remembered, pulsed through her like a persistent, undeniable beat. It was a promise, a command, and a deep, dark thrill all rolled into one, keeping her on edge and eagerly anticipating his next move.
After a long day at work, still tinged with the echoes of Severus's dark promises and the vivid reminder via the bouquet, Eden grabbed her purse and headed to the grocery store. As she navigated through the aisles, picking up essentials, her phone buzzed with a message from Severus. She quickly thanked him for the flowers, her fingers typing out her appreciation for the beautiful, albeit intimidating, arrangement.
Eden: Thank you for the flowers, they were stunning. Caught everyone's eye at the lab today!
Their conversation flowed easily, with Severus asking about her day and commenting in his typically commanding tone, which even through text, seemed to pull at her from across the distance. After a brief pause in their exchange as she compared brands of pasta, Severus's next message popped up, indicating his keen perception.
