"You say a word and I'll step back. Tell me not to touch you," Louis murmured, his own control slipping as he admitted to his profound yearning for her touch.

"Get away from me," she managed to whisper.

"Mean it, Verena," he persisted, the insistence in his voice urging her to make a definitive choice. 

His hand advanced, inching closer to her neck, his touch lingering there momentarily before retreating, a delicate dance of desire.

For a second, silence hung heavy in the air, pregnant with unspoken tension. Then, as if her inner turmoil had reached its peak, the words spilled from her lips. "I fucking hate you," she spat out.

Without further hesitation, Verena surged forward, her hand finding its way to the back of his neck. In an instant, her lips crashed against his.

Ruins Of The Glory

How could Verena have forgotten about the heated kiss and the fact that they were so close in front of everyone?

Vows to protect, to love, to care?

That wasn't merely a kiss. It was so much more, and the intense emotions it brought with it only made him want to do it more.

It was a temptation that Louis couldn't resist. The forbidden fruit stood in front of him, and he couldn't help but salivate after it, with Verena being the one exception to the rule of never giving in impulsively.

This was the first time Verena let go of their eye contact. Her eyes were everywhere but him while Louis observed her, drinking in the alluring sight of her.

The soft curve of her neck, the diamond necklace adorning her neck, and the diamond earrings

She looked every bit like the successful woman she is. Dripping in wealth and now power.
