V. V. Fortebracci
- Elara
- had
- spent
- her
- life
- in
- control—sharp,
- independent,
- unshakable.
- She
- carved
- out
- her
- place
- in
- the
- world
- with
- careful
- precision,
- never
- bending,
- never
- breaking.
- And
- then
- she
- met
- him.Alistair
- Sterling
- didn't
- ask.
- He
- didn't
- persuade.
- He
- decided.
- His
- presence
- alone
- shifted
- the
- balance
- of
- any
- room,
- and
- from
- the
- moment
- his
- eyes
- locked
- onto
- hers,
- she
- felt
- it—an
- inevitability,
- a
- pull
- she
- couldn't
- explain.She
- should
- have
- walked
- away.
- She
- should
- have
- ignored
- the
- quiet
- challenge
- in
- his
- gaze,
- the
- certainty
- in
- his
- voice
- when
- he
- told
- her
- what
- he
- saw
- in
- her,
- what
- he
- intended
- to
- take.
- But
- Elara
- had
- always
- been
- drawn
- to
- the
- edge
- of
- a
- flame,
- and
- Alistair
- wasn't
- just
- fire—he
- was
- an
- inferno.He
- didn't
- make
- demands;
- he
- revealed
- truths.
- The
- ones
- she
- kept
- buried,
- the
- ones
- she
- didn't
- even
- admit
- to
- herself.
- Every
- touch,
- every
- word,
- every
- deliberate
- test
- pushed
- her
- closer
- to
- something
- she
- both
- feared
- and
- craved—surrender.But
- giving
- in
- to
- Alistair
- isn't
- about
- a
- single
- night
- or
- even
- a
- single
- choice.
- He
- doesn't
- take
- without
- keeping.
- And
- what
- he
- offers
- in
- return
- isn't
- just
- pleasure,
- but
- possession.
- Of
- mind,
- of
- body,
- of
- every
- last
- guarded
- part
- of
- her.She
- fights
- it.
- She
- tells
- herself
- she
- still
- has
- the
- power
- to
- walk
- away.
- But
- power,
- in
- his
- hands,
- becomes
- something
- else
- entirely.
- It's
- in
- the
- way
- he
- sees
- her—fully,
- completely.
- In
- the
- way
- he
- makes
- her
- unravel,
- only
- to
- put
- her
- back
- together
- in
- a
- way
- she
- never
- knew
- was
- possible.Elara
- knows
- this
- isn't
- just
- desire.
- It's
- a
- descent,
- a
- shift
- into
- something
- she
- can
- never
- undo.
- And
- the
- most
- dangerous
- part?She's
- not
- sure
- she
- wants to.
