“You all right?” His voice is rougher now, like he’s fighting to keep himself in check.

“I’m fine,” I grumble, trying to brush it off, but I can’t ignore how my heart is racing, or the heat that’s building between us. The magic swirling around me is nothing compared to the tension.

His hands don’t move, and when I glance over my shoulder, I see the way his eyes have darkened. He’s looking at me like he’s barely holding himself back, and it’s doing things to me. Dangerous things.

“I can feel your heartbeat,” he comments. “It’s racing.”

His hands tighten on my waist, and before I know it, I’m turning to face him. The air between us comes alive, and for a moment, neither of us moves. We just stand there, staring at each other, caught in whatever this is.

“I shouldn’t be this close to you,” I whisper, though the words come out more like an invitation than a warning.

He grins, and there’s something dangerous in the way his eyes glint silver in the moonlight. “Too late.”

And then, before I can stop myself, I close the distance between us. Our lips crash together in a searing kiss, and the world around us seems to fade away. All I can think about is him—the way he tastes, the way he smells, the way his touch ignites a fire deep inside me.

His hands trail up my back, leaving a trail of sparks in their wake, and I melt against him. Every part of me is screaming to give in, to lose myself in the moment, and for once, I don’t care about the consequences.

Damien pulls me closer, and I can feel his hard length pressing against me. A low groan rumbles through his chest,and the sound sends a shiver of pleasure down my spine. I arch against him, desperate for more, and his fingers dig into my hips.

“Fuck, Jade,” he breathes, his voice ragged. “If you keep doing that, I won’t be able to stop.”

I smirk and press against him, making sure he can feel exactly how much I want him. “Who says I want you to?”

The words slip out before I can stop them, and his gaze makes my heart skip a beat. He’s hungry, wild, and the heat in his eyes is enough to make my knees go weak.

But instead of answering, he lifts me up and carries me towards the cabin. I wrap my legs around his waist and lean down to capture his lips in another kiss. His hands grip my ass, pulling me closer, and I feel like the world is spinning around us.

When we finally make it to the bedroom, the door slams shut behind us, and Damien sets me down on the bed. My hands roam over his muscular chest, and his fingers trace a path up my thigh before going higher to tease the hem of my shirt.

“Are you sure about this, Jade?” he asks, his voice rough with desire.

I look up at him and nod, the only word escaping my mouth a whispered, “Yes.”

That’s all it takes.

He leans down and kisses me again, and the fire inside me burns even hotter. I can’t think, can’t breathe, can’t do anything but give in to the sensation. He pulls back just long enough to pull my shirt over my head, and then his lips are on mine again.

His hands are everywhere, setting my skin on fire, and I gasp as his fingers find my breasts. His thumb circles my nipple,and a moan escapes my lips. He growls, and the sound is almost animalistic.

“You’re so fucking perfect,” he murmurs against my skin.

I can barely hear him over the pounding of my heart, but I’m too far gone to care. His shirt is in the way, and I can’t wait any longer. I tug it off and toss it aside, exposing his gorgeous chest. My fingers explore every inch of him, tracing the lines of his muscles, and he shudders.

He kisses a trail down my neck, and when his tongue traces the sensitive spot behind my ear, a wave of pleasure crashes over me. I cling to him, gasping his name, and his lips curl into a smile against my skin.

He knows exactly what he’s doing, and he’s enjoying every second of it.

I’m already working at his pants, desperate to get him naked, and he chuckles. “In a hurry, are we?”

“Shut up,” I say, rolling my eyes, and he laughs.

“So bossy,” he teases, but his eyes are dark with lust.

“Less talking. More action.”

My voice is a growl, and he smirks, clearly liking the tone.

His jeans are off in a flash, and then his lips are on mine again as he helps me shimmy out of mine. His fingers slide between my legs, finding the wetness that’s already waiting for him, and he groans.
