His Vengeful Desire | 18+ (Duet 1)

"You know, don't you? That I see through you. Past every sharp word you throw at me, past every defiant look. I see the fear, the fire, and the way you fight against what you feel." He says.

My breathe was shallow, and I was breathing harder than usual.

"Don't flatter yourself, Adrient. Whatever you think you see is your own delusion."I said, trying to deny the feeling that I was having for him.

"Then why are you trembling, chérie? Why do your breaths hitch every time I'm this close?" His hand traces the curve of her jaw, tilting her face upward, forcing her to meet his piercing gaze.

"You don't scare me." I said, my voice shaky.

I wasn't scared. I was just consumed.

A low chuckle escapes him, dark and knowing,"Maybe not. But I consume you, don't I?" And here he said it, he knows it. "Just like you consume me. Every waking thought, every restless night. I've tried to stay away, to bury this... obsession. But I can't. And you don't want me to, no matter how hard you fight it."

My voice is barely a whisper now, trembling under the weight of his confession,"You're wrong."

He leans closer, his lips brushing the shell of her ear,"Am I? Then tell me to leave, Elara. Tell me you don't feel it, too."

Silence hangs between us, heavy and electric.I don't push him away. I don't say a word. And that, to him, is the only answer he needs.
