It should've ended with distance. A silence. A closed door. But instead, it began here-pressed against a balcony wall, with her breath caught between fear and temptation, and his eyes burning with something far more dangerous than lust. He didn't touch her. Not yet. But the threat of it lingered in the space between their bodies, in the way his chest nearly brushed hers every time he exhaled. She could feel the tension rippling off him, barely contained-like a storm pacing behind his ribcage, just waiting to destroy. "You shouldn't be here," he said, voice rough, low, and shaking with restraint. But he was the one who had cornered her. He was the one who couldn't stay away. And she? She hated how much she didn't want to run. Because this-whatever this was-felt like standing on the edge of something irreversible. "You're my employee," he snapped. As if the label could cage what was already unravelling inside him. "You're a mistake I keep choosing." Her eyes met his-furious, pained, exposed. "I never asked you to," she said, but her voice cracked around the lie. His hand lifted slowly, brushing the side of her jaw with a touch that contradicted everything his words said. Possessive. Tender. He stared at her like she was the very thing he was never meant to want-and the only thing he couldn't stop needing. "I've spent years building walls to stay in control," he muttered, his thumb grazing her lower lip. "You walk in and wreck all of it... without even trying." She swallowed hard. This wasn't love. This wasn't even hate. This was obsession-raw, electric, and utterly doomed. And as his lips hovered over hers, trembling with the weight of a thousand wrong intentions, they both knew- 🥀It started with a look. It spiraled with a touch. And before they could stop it, they were already each other's greatest undoing.

Ira Raghuvanshi, the runaway bride of a powerful dynasty, seeks refuge with shashwat Roy a solitary, formidable man who deals in shadows and rules the rugged mountain paths. Hunted by her ruthless family, their forced proximity ignites a forbidden, possessive passion that threatens to destroy his hidden world and consume the both of them.

From the moment Kent saw her, he knew she would be a problem. Amelia wasn't loud or dramatic like the women who usually filled the rooms he walked into. She didn't try to be noticed. Yet somehow, the moment she stepped into his home beside his daughter, the air shifted - subtle, undeniable. At twenty-two, she carried herself with a quiet confidence that didn't beg for attention but commanded it anyway. There was grace in the way she spoke, elegance in the way she moved, and something dangerously captivating in her eyes. Kent had built empires, negotiated billion-naira deals, and mastered the art of control. But none of that prepared him for the unsettling pull he felt standing a few feet away from his daughter's best friend. Amelia. His daughter's best friend. The reminder should have been enough to silence whatever stirred inside him. It should have ended there - a passing thought, quickly buried and forgotten. Instead, it lingered. Growing stronger each time their paths crossed, each polite conversation stretching a little longer than necessary, each glance held a second too long. And as if fate found amusement in his silent struggle, there was Steven - his son - drawn to Amelia in a way that made everything even more complicated. Stacy, blissfully unaware, played matchmaker between them, determined to make her best friend part of the family in the most innocent way possible. If only she knew. Because what began as a harmless introduction was slowly turning into something far more dangerous. Something forbidden. Something that threatened to unravel the careful control Kent had maintained his entire life. He knew the rules. He knew the boundaries. He knew the consequences. But temptation... didn't care about any of that. #oldermale #loveatfirstsite #possesive #maturecontent #againstallodds #interracial #blackfemale×whitemale
