Heat ran through my neck and my chest. My tongue felt thick. I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t even think.
“I…” I managed, my voice breaking. “…I…”
He chuckled, a low, teasing sound. “Lost your voice, Bunny?” he said, stepping closer. I could feel the warmth of his breath, the scent of him… pine, steel, and something I couldn’t name… brushing against my cheek.
I clenched my fists, fighting to breathe, to stay composed. And then he walked past me, leaning against the wall across from me, his dark eyes locked on mine.
“What have you come to complain about again, Bunny?” he asked, tilting his head, smirk curling on his lips.
My thigh clenched involuntarily.
My stomach twisted. I hated him. I hated him for the way my body betrayed me. For the way heat burned through me even as I wanted to kick his ass.
“I’m not going to be part of your harem,” I said, voice firmer than I felt.
He raised an eyebrow, smirk widening. “Oh? And why not?”
I swallowed hard, trying to keep my pulse under control. “Because I… I’m not yours to play with. I’m not some toy you can… parade around!”
He chuckled, dark and low, a sound that made my teeth grit. “I never said you were a plaything Bunny. I think you have this fire in you. You’ll need that fire here. Being part of my harem isn’t a choice you have.”
“I don’t care!” I shot back, my cheeks burning, but my voice shaking despite my anger. “I will not… I will never… be a part of it!”
He took a step closer. One slow, deliberate step. The air seemed to pulse around him, dangerous, magnetic. “Bunny…” His voice was low, almost a purr. “…your body says. otherwise.”
I blinked, furious, flustered, and confused all at once. “I… staring? I’m not..”
“You are,” he said, tilting his head, dark eyes scanning me. “…and you can’t even hide it.. you might lie with your mouth but your arosed nipples begging to be sucked can’t lie.’
My heart raced. Her rosy-cheeked face flared.
My body betrayed me again. I could feel heat pooling low in my stomach, a fire I didn’t want, and I clenched my fists tighter. “I am not… ”
“Not what?” he asked softly, stepping even closer. I could smell him now… warm.

My pulse hammered.
“Not mine? Not interested? Or just pretending to fight me?”
I swallowed hard, looking away. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Kaelen smirked, leaning casually against the wall dark eyes locked on mine. “Of course you do, Bunny. Don’t play games with me.”
My legs felt weak.
I could feel my thighs brushing against each other. My hands shook at my sides. I hated it. I hated him. I hated how alive he made me feel. And yet, I couldn’t stop looking at him. Couldn’t stop feeling that pull.
“Why are you smiling like that?” I demanded, trying to sound angry but failing.
“Because you’re so beautiful when you’re angry, he said casually, almost lazily. “And so stubborn. I like that fire. It suits you.’
I rolled my eyes. “You like everything about me? Even when I hate you?”
He tilted his head, smirk deepening. “Especially then.”
My cheeks flamed. My stomach did somersaults. And I hated every second of it.
“You’re crazy,” I muttered, trying to step past him, but he moved to block me without effort, dark figure filling my vision.
“Yeah I am crazy,” he said, voice low, teasing, dangerous. “Delicious. Infuriating. Frustrating. And… entirely yours.
I froze, my hands clenching at my sides. “Mine?” I repeated, voice barely above a whisper.
He leaned closer, eyes dark, burning. “Don’t act surprised, Bunny. You’ve already been claimed. I’m yours and you’re mine.. body and soul.. especially body ”
I took a shaky breath, trying to pull myself together.
Kaelen’s lips curved into a smirk. “Did that make you speechless?” He tilted his head. “But I think you’re starting to like the idea. Admit it, Bunny. You’re curious, aren’t you?”
I spun away, heart pounding, body tense.
“Curious? About what? About being part of your.. disgusting little sex fantasy?”
His laugh echoed softly down the corridor. “Not disgusting, Bunny. Intoxicating. And you… fit just right in.”
My thighs clenched again. My pulse raced. My chest felt tight. I didn’t understand why my body reacted this way, why I could feel heat, tension, and something dangerous like desire all
at once.

He stepped closer, slowly, deliberately, until the space between us was almost nothing. I could. feel the heat radiating off him, the raw power in every inch of him.
“Tell me, Bunny,” he said softly, almost teasing….why are you so determined to fight me?”
I looked away, swallowing hard. “Because.. I.. very thing about you vexes me.”
Kaelen’s smirk deepened. “That’s a good sign.. I’m definitely going to live up to that.”
My stomach twisted, my cheeks burned, and my legs trembled.
And yet… I couldn’t stop looking at him.
The sound of my own heartbeat echoed in my ears. My chest tightened, and I realized, with horror and fascination, that he had won part of me… if not my obedience, then my attention.
