Chapter 238

~Tempest’s POV~

It wasn’t planned or logical—it was raw, desperate, and filled with all the confusion and longing I’d tried to bury.

Ryland’s lips were warm and soft, and when he hesitated for a fraction of a second, I thought he might pull away. But then he kissed me back, his hands finding their way to my waist.

I moaned and sighed between kisses. All my problems and worries fell away as his lips moved against mine.

Ryland’s hands slid up my sides, his touch igniting a fire that burned away the doubt and fear, leaving only him and me.

I felt his hand tangle in my hair, tilting my head to deepen the kiss. His other hand rested on my lower back, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us.

For a moment, I let myself get lost in him—in the way he held me like I was the most precious thing in the world.

But then reality crashed back in.

I broke the kiss abruptly, stepping back as my breathing came in shaky gasps. Tears blurred my vision as I looked at him, his face filled with longing and confusion.

"I can’t," I whispered, "I just... I can’t do this, Ryland. It’s so wrong to do this to you."

"Tempest—"

I didn’t let him finish. Spinning on my heel, I fled again, stupidly, my tears falling freely as I ran. But had that been al in my imagination? Turning to the side, my eyes locked on the hand wrapped around my wrist.

Rylan’s.

"Don’t go. Don’t run. Stay."

And before I could say or do anything, Ryalnd pulled me back straight into his arms as he hugged me.

~Zara’s POV~

The setting sun was all the company I had as I drove toward Snow’s estate. The semi-finals of the pageant had concluded earlier that day, leaving just five contestants for tomorrow’s grand event.

The energy had been electric, and while I was proud of the progress, exhaustion tugged at me.

Yet, despite my fatigue, my heart was elated at the thought of seeing Snow. I hadn’t visited him in days, and the pull to be near him was impossible to resist, especially after our wild phone encounter.

I couldn’t wait to have him inside me, to fill me up and make love to me the only way he knew.

No amount of fatigue could take that away from me. After fixing one or two, I got into my car and drove with one destination in mind—my handsome husband.

My fingers tapped on the steering wheel as I played ’APT. by Rosé and Bruno Mars’, shaking my head to the rhythm while I stepped on the accelerator to go even faster.

But my drive was abruptly disrupted when a large truck rolled into view, blocking the narrow road ahead.

As I slowed to a halt, the hairs on the back of my neck prickled. Astrid growled, warning me. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

It could be a bloody trap.
