Page 115 of Celestial Combat

I was caught in her trance.

There was something in the way she moved – smooth, deliberate, like gravity bent just slightly in her favor. Her presence was a fault line in my composure.

She was gorgeous. In the way fire was, right before it burned you.

And I was standing too close to the flame.

There was acelestial combatraging in my chest – an impossible war between what I felt for her and the iron loyalty I owed her family. A code I’d lived by, bled for, trained into my bones, that taught me to bury want beneath duty.

She was Richard Su’s daughter. Trevor’s sister.

Mybest friend’ssister.

That should have been enough. A boundary written in blood, brotherhood and consequence.

Trevorwasmy best friend.

But something like this would erase everything I’d ever done for Su Family. Something like thiswouldbe punished by death. Especially when I was meant to protect her. Keep her safe. Have her trust me.

But then she looked at me. And I swore the entire world fell silent. The kind of silence that stole my breath and left behind only the truth. And in that stillness,I realized.

The first woman to catch my attention…

Was the one I couldn’t have.

Desire was a dangerous thing. I knew it was wrong. I knew I could end up dead. But I couldn’t restrain myself.

Kali bit her lip, her hands descending.

My jaw ticked. Forced myself to keep driving, eyes cutting back to the rearview mirror like I couldn’t go half a second without looking at her.

I couldn’t see below her waist, but I saw the movement in the back of my eye.

She parted her legs.

Another bite of her lip. Another teasing moan, like she was finally getting the forbidden fruit.

When her hand made it between her thighs, she arched her back off the seat and let her head fall back.

She moaned – soft and feminine – and the sound went straight to my cock.

I should’ve told her to stop. Pull over and let her regain her composure. But I’d lost mine too.

I cleared my throat. Not because I needed to. But because she needed me to.

Her eyes snapped open and her sharp gaze zeroed in on me.

My jaw ticked with tension.

Her hand moved faster.

My grip tightened around the steering wheel.

She parted her lips; another moan that shot straight to my hard dick.

I held her eyes.The entire time.

And when she came, she camelooking at me.
