hope ya'll like this chapter

Aiden woke up in a luxurious penthouse, the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He sat up, his head spinning as he tried to process what had happened. It felt like a dream, but the ache in his muscles and the lingering scent of Lucien's cologne told him otherwise.

He looked around, his eyes widening as he took in the opulence of the room. The walls were adorned with priceless art, the furniture was sleek and modern, and the view of the city was breathtaking. This was everything he had ever wanted... but at what cost?

"Good morning, darling," Lucien's voice purred from the doorway. Aiden turned to see him leaning against the frame, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. He was dressed in a silk robe that clung to his body, revealing just enough to make Aiden's mouth go dry.

"Did you sleep well?" Lucien asked, his smirk widening as he stepped into the room. He moved with a predatory grace, his every step sending shivers down Aiden's spine.

Aiden swallowed hard, his heart racing. "What... what happens now?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Lucien chuckled, a low, throaty sound that made Aiden's stomach flip. "Now, darling, we have some fun," he said, his eyes darkening with desire. "You belong to me now, and I intend to make the most of it."

Aiden's breath hitched as Lucien closed the distance between them, his fingers trailing down his chest. "You're mine, Aiden," he whispered, his voice dripping with possessiveness. "And I never let go of what's mine."

Aiden's mind was a whirlwind of emotions—fear, desire, confusion. He knew he should resist, should fight against the pull of this dangerous, seductive being. But as Lucien's lips brushed against his, all rational thought fled his mind.

He was lost, bound by sin, and there was no turning back.

Aiden’s hands trembled as they instinctively reached for Lucien, his fingers tangling in the soft fabric of the demon’s robe. The touch was electric, sending a jolt of heat through his veins. He hated how easily Lucien could unravel him, how his body betrayed his mind, craving the very thing that would destroy him.

Lucien’s lips were warm against his, a stark contrast to the cold, calculating glint in his golden eyes. Aiden’s breath hitched as the demon deepened the kiss, his tongue claiming him with a possessiveness that left no room for resistance. It was a kiss that promised pleasure and pain in equal measure, a reminder of the deal they had struck—a deal Aiden could never undo.

When Lucien finally pulled away, Aiden’s chest heaved, his heart pounding like a drum. The demon’s smirk was back, sharper than ever, as if he could see the turmoil raging inside Aiden’s mind.

“You’re overthinking again, darling,” Lucien murmured, his voice a low purr that sent shivers down Aiden’s spine. He traced a finger along Aiden’s jawline, his touch feather-light yet searing. “Relax. You’re mine now, and I take care of what’s mine.”

Aiden wanted to protest, to demand answers, but the words caught in his throat. Lucien’s presence was intoxicating, a dangerous blend of charm and menace that left him breathless. He knew he should resist, should fight against the pull of this seductive being, but every fiber of his being was drawn to Lucien like a moth to a flame.

“What do you want from me?” Aiden finally managed to ask, his voice barely above a whisper.

Lucien’s eyes gleamed with amusement, his lips curling into a wicked smile. “Everything,” he said simply, his voice dripping with dark promise. “But for now, let’s start with breakfast. You’ll need your strength, darling. The day is young, and I have plans for you.”

Aiden’s stomach churned at the implication, but he couldn’t deny the thrill that shot through him at Lucien’s words. He was trapped in a gilded cage, bound by sin and desire, and there was no escape.

As Lucien turned and strode toward the door, his robe swaying with every step, Aiden couldn’t help but follow. He was already in too deep, and the worst part was—he wasn’t sure he wanted to be saved.
