Chapter 49

• Chapter 49: Rooted in Ruin
• Lena isn't herself anymore.
• She’s nothing but breath, shiver, flame—trembling as she presses both palms against Luca’s chest, as if that could contain the wildfire crawling through her spine. Her waist rolls in aching defiance, slow, deliberate, trying to coax his massive length deeper, inch by brutal inch. Every movement stretches her to the edge of sanity, an exquisite pain laced with need, and she’s clenching around him with every flutter of her muscles.
