But then, his voice breaks the silence, low and laced with something I can't quite grasp. "I made a promise to keep you safe..." he murmurs, his voice rough and raw, "...but some promises don't survive the flames."
My heart tightens, realizing the truth in his words, a truth neither of us wants to face. I can feel him slipping away, like sand through my fingers, even as he clings to me with everything he has left. His hold weakens, the edges of his touch turning to shadows and smoke. And as the darkness overtakes us, the broken promise lingers-scattered like ashes, lost in the fire that surrounds us.

He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
