The room was silent for a few seconds. Once I was sure there was no sound outside the door, I opened Alexander's social media profile and approved his friend request.
Step by step, I hovered over the video call button.
And then, I tapped it.
I felt like an adventurer standing at the edge of danger. Every nerve was alert, every breath a calculated risk. I knew I was walking a road filled with shadows one wrong step, and I'd fall off the cliff. But something in me whispered that I was close... close to catching the gleaming golden light.
What was in Pandora's box?
When the screen connected and I saw his face, it was as if I had stepped through the gates of hell and found heaven waiting on the other side.
Alexander appeared handsome, powerful, intoxicating. His eyes pinned me in place.
"Why aren't you wearing the underwear I gave you?"
His deep, seductive voice scraped across my skin like a feather dipped in sin. It made me itch in places only he could soothe.
