When darkness falls in love
Excerpt*
As Cian removed his jacket, revealing a serpent-like tattoo on his chest, a chill ran down her spine.
“Who sent you?” she asked, her voice quivering as she clutched the sheets tightly around her.
Cian smirked, “Which insignificant creature would dare to command me?”
Confused, she glanced at the doors, praying for someone to walk in and save her from this dangerous stranger.
“Then why are you here?” she managed to ask, her heart pounding in her chest.
Cian casually tossed his jacket onto the nearest chair, revealing his muscular chest and the glowing, serpent-like tattoo that coiled around it.
“For you, sweetheart,” he replied, his voice deep and seductive.
She stared into his piercing, emerald-green eyes, awed by their luminescence. They seemed to pierce right through her, illuminating her heart and igniting a fire within her that she couldn’t quite extinguish.
As Cian moved closer, he bent down to look her directly in the eyes, his gaze penetrating. “Marry me,” he whispered, his voice low and dangerous.
She recoiled in horror, pushing his hand away as she tried to back away from him. “Pardon me, my Lord, but I must refuse your offer,” she said, her voice shaking with fear.
Cian let out a low, sinister laugh as he pulled off his shirt, revealing the full extent of the tattoo that seemed to writhe and twist on his skin.
He crawled onto the bed, pinning her down as he loomed over her. She struggled against him, trying to break free from his grip, but he was too strong.
He leaned in close, his breath hot against her skin as he whispered, “Sweetheart, what is mine is mine, and what is yours is mine.”
“She froze, her heart racing as she realized the danger she was in and how ridiculously aroused she was getting.
Cian, with his piercing gaze and devilish grin, knew exactly what he was doing.
