"Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil.

I’m going.” “No!” Jin’s voice cracked. “We can find help. We—” “There’s no time,” she interrupted softly. “You need to be strong... for both of us.” Jin’s grip tightened on her hand. “I can’t do this without you. I love you.” Her hand slipped from his, her eyes closing. “I love you too. Goodbye.” Jin’s sobs echoed through the forest as he held her lifeless body, the world around him fading to darkness. ************* “You’re really not making this easy,” Suyin grumbles, as Jin casually pinned her against the wall. “That’s the point,” he replies with a grin.
