Chapter 32 - Kaelen's Unveiled Desire and Seraphina's Shocking Truth
The moment Isolde left, I collapsed against the door, my heart hammering wildly in my chest. I couldn't believe I'd just faced Kaelen's fiancée while wearing nothing but a thin robe over lingerie I'd put on while fantasizing about him. The universe had a twisted sense of humor.
My phone buzzed with a message from Kaelen: "Working late tonight. Don't wait up."
Relief washed over me. At least I wouldn't have to face him after that mortifying encounter with Isolde. I needed time to sort through the tangled web of emotions churning inside me.
I returned to my bedroom, the lingerie now feeling like a mockery. What was I doing? This dangerous game with Kaelen would only lead to disaster.
But as I crawled under my covers, my body still hummed with unfulfilled desire. Sleep evaded me, thoughts of Kaelen's touch haunting my restless mind.
