Alex drove away from Lila's apartment, the engine's soft hum blending with the night air.

The streets buzzed with late-evening life... tail lights stretching ahead, occasional honks, and neon signs flickering along the sidewalks.

The city never truly slept, and tonight it seemed determined to remind him of that.

He kept his hands steady on the wheel, though his mind was far from calm.

Every detail of the evening played in his head... the calculated closeness, the glances, the touches, the audacious way she had tried to bend him without realizing how transparent she was.

In the rearview mirror, he caught sight of her still standing at the doorway... a teasing curl at her lips... but it was tempered with something else: surprise, recognition, and the faintest trace of respect.

She hadn't gotten what she wanted, yet the spark of challenge remained.

Alex let himself smile privately, knowing she'd figure out soon enough that he'd known everything from the start... and imagining the look on Sophia's face when she realized it too sent a thrill through him.

He glanced at the time. It was well past the hour he had promised Tisha he'd arrive.

Knowing her, impatience was already simmering, and he could almost feel it radiating from wherever she waited.

A dark captivating smirk tugged at his lips... perfect.

She would be frustrated, fuming just enough to make the lesson about to unfold all the more… delicious.

His phone vibrated suddenly, breaking his thoughts. He glanced down, expecting a routine message. What he saw instead made his blood boil... and not with anger.

Tisha's image, deliberate, teasing, sent with meticulous care, illuminated his screen.

Every curve, every inch of her skin, glistening slightly from the shower, the silk gown clinging to her in ways that demanded attention… it was audacious, impossible to ignore.

Alex let out a low chuckle, shaking his head at her eagerness.

She was reckless, bold... but undeniably magnetic. And yet… beneath the irritation at her audacity, he felt the familiar heat spike, the same desire he always did when she was close.

She was unique. Every inch of her, her boldness, her confidence, her subtle teasing... it all clawed at him in a way no one else could.

He pressed his foot harder on the accelerator, the engine responding with a low growl, his mind sharpening.

He knew he wanted her, craved her touch. Each turn, each quiet street stretched the anticipation, making it almost tangible.

After what felt like an hour, he pulled up at the address she had given him.

The street was quiet, but the house in front of him was… impressive.

Not just an apartment... more like a private bungalow, sprawling and elegant. His eyes roamed over the gated entry, the subtle lights illuminating the driveway, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in genuine surprise.

Alex cut the engine, the quiet hum of the idle fading. He stepped out, the night air brushing against his skin, and approached the gate with measured steps. His hand pressed the bell, the soft chime echoing faintly into the night.

Even as he waited, he felt the familiar tension coiling... anticipation, control, desire, and a hint of amusement all wrapped together. He knew the game had just shifted.

***

The bell's chime echoed once more, soft but insistent. Alex's hand lingered on the gate for a fraction of a second longer, then he released it, letting the moment stretch.

The door opened.

Tisha stood there, framed in the warm glow of the foyer, her body draped in the same sheer, silk dress she had teased him with earlier.

A see-through gown that clung to her like mist, tracing every forbidden curve instead of hiding it. The fabric shimmered faintly with the porch light, a wicked invitation that made her look like sin wearing perfume.

Alex's lips quirked, a slow, deliberate smirk forming. He didn't step forward immediately; he didn't have to.

The intensity of his gaze held her in place, his dark eyes drinking her in as if memorizing every curve, every subtle motion, every flicker of vulnerability behind her bold exterior.

Her pulse thudded in her ears. She felt exposed, yet alive, her nerves alight with anticipation.

She had meant to tempt him… to make him react. And yet, standing there, she realized how completely he already commanded the room, by his presence alone.

Tisha's fingers tightened on the doorframe. Her knees threatened to betray her, and a shiver ran down her spine.

She wanted to close the distance, to throw herself into the magnetic pull of him... but even as desire coursed through her, her mind whispered caution.

Alex stepped forward once, twice, and then he was on her, his hands finding her wrists, pinning her lightly but firmly against the wall. The impact sent a tremor through her body and a gasp from her throat.

"Ahh... Alex…"

Her cry came out soft at first, then trembling, a sound of shock twisted with a pulse of pleasure.

But, there was pride in her eyes... the glint of a woman who had laid the trap and was thrilled to see the beast she had called forth.

"Don't be naughty… leave me this instant," she murmured, her voice half-complaint, half-provocation, trembling but smiling against his mouth.

Alex's jaw tightened, his lips brushing her ear. His voice dropped to a dark, low growl.

"Leave you? After you sent me those filthy little pictures? Dripping in this…"

His hand slid over the silk, tugging it aside just enough to make her gasp, "…teasing me like a shameless temptress?"

Her breath hitched; the gown rustled. "Dinner will go to waste…" she whispered, trying to sound calm, though her pulse was a drum beneath his fingers.

He gave a low, dangerous chuckle.

"Let it rot. You're my dinner tonight," he murmured, his teeth grazing her lower lip. "And I'm going to devour you until I'm full."

She shuddered under him, a little cry breaking loose again... part fear, part delight, completely surrender.

Alex's hand slid from her throat and for a heartbeat she thought he was giving her space to breathe.

Instead, in one sudden motion, he caught her under the thighs and lifted her as if she weighed nothing... a doll in the grip of a storm.

She gave a sharp little cry, half-startled, half-delighted, the sound spilling against his shoulder.

Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist for balance, silk riding up, bare skin against his shirt. Her fingers clawed at his shoulders as she gasped, "Alex...!"

He bent close, his voice a dark rasp against her ear.

"My naughty little siren…" he murmured, "…you're never going to forget this night in your life."

Before she could answer, his mouth was on hers... no tasting, no teasing, but a full, devouring kiss. It wasn't just a kiss; it was a claim, a mark, a seal pressed with heat and hunger.

Her spine arched, her arms winding tight around his neck, answering him with a kiss of her own, surrendering and pushing back at the same time.

When their lips finally tore apart, a thin sound escaped her, somewhere between a gasp and a moan... "Ahhh—hahh…" — her breath shuddering into his mouth.

"You're going to kill me…" she whispered, voice shaky but glittering with excitement.

Then she pressed herself closer, her almost-bare breasts flattening against his chest, her eyes blazing into his. "…and I'm ready to be killed by you."

Alex's dark eyes held hers, hand cupping her cheek, thumb brushing lightly over the curve of her lips.

"Do you have any idea what you've done to me tonight?" His voice was low, a growl just shy of a roar.

His lips grazed the shell of her ear, teeth nibbling lightly, sending a shiver spiraling down her spine. "That picture… this outfit… opening the door like this…"

Tisha's breath hitched, a soft gasp slipping past her lips. She tilted her head back, offering more of her neck, pulse hammering beneath his touch.

"You're dripping sin, Tisha," he murmured, fingers tracing the delicate line of her neck, sending a shiver rippling through her. His hand wandered slowly, teasing along her collarbone, the warmth of his touch igniting fire wherever it passed. Every inch of her skin that felt his roaming fingers sparked a tremble she couldn't hide. "....and you expect me to wait until after dinner?"

"Ahh… Alex…" she moaned, her voice trembling, wet with anticipation. Her fingers dug into his shoulders as he continued, sliding over her skin, brushing past the silk.

"Tell me…" he demanded, voice rough, each word punctuated with hunger.

"I… I sent it because I couldn't stop imagining… what you were going to do with me…" Her words spilled out, bold and raw, each syllable drenched in need.

Alex's eyes darkened, the corner of his mouth twitching into a dangerous smirk. He pressed her higher against his chest, arching her body instinctively into him. The silk gown rode up her thighs, brushing against her overheated skin.

"Tell me...," he murmured, lips hovering just above hers. "Tell me what you imagined."

"I… I imagined your hands everywhere…" she gasped, voice breaking, eyes fluttering closed.
