When innocence crosses paths with unrestrained power, it starts a fire that can't be contained. Seraphina's world is simple, predictable-until one afternoon introduces her to a man who is anything but ordinary. Vnox, a mysterious figure almost twice her age, and too close to home, is the personification of wealth, power, charm, intellect and a walking red flag. As much as she tries to resist, he pulls her into a dangerous steam of desire. He becomes obsessed with her and Seraphina realizes that being his could cost her everything. Resisting is proving impossible and Vnox will kill anyone that wants her. Every innocence she has may be sacrificed but will she take it? Or will she rather die than accept his love? Can he protect her from where he comes from? Note: SULTRY INFERNO is an 18+ forbidden dark romance story with bloodbaths, torture, erotic scenes and kinky plays. For mature readers only.

SULTRY INFERNO: His Command, Her Temptation Chapter 1 DARK INTRODUCTION

Seraphina stirred her hot chocolate absently, eyes glued to her book, while she literally escaped from the world around her.

She's petite, with soft curves and her dark long curls fell loosely around her face, giving her an innocent look.

At nineteen, she still had a touch of youthful shyness in her behavior.

Her reserved attitude was a quality that made her enjoy the cozy but upscale café that late afternoon.

She was barely aware of the other people around but as she reached for her cup, a deep voice startled her out of her daydream.

"Mind if I sit here?"

Looking up, her heart skipped a beat when her eyes landed on the man standing beside her table.

He was tall- so tall- well over six feet, with a muscular but not overly bulky build and tattoos peeking out from under the sleeve of his dark shirt.

"Oh... um... sure," she stammered, suddenly feeling 'very' small.

He pulled out the chair in front of her and sat down, without taking his eyes off her for a second.

Then she realised, with an uncomfortable flutter of whatnot in her stomach, that he was handsome.

"You come here often," he stated, saying it like it was a fact he was sure of, while he studied her.

Seraphina blinked, tightening her small hands around her book.

"I... I do, actually. It's a nice, quiet place."

He chuckled; a low sound that sounded sweet to her ears.

"Not many people notice quiet spaces these days. They're too busy... existing. But you're different, aren't you?"

Her face heats up.

"I don't know what you mean."

He leaned back, one arm draped casually over the back of his chair.

"I think you do."

They both fell silent for a moment but in that quiet while, as she pretended to have gone back to her reading, she felt his gaze on her.

Finally, she gathered some courage to say something, looking up from her open book.

"So... Do you come here often?"

"From time to time," he answered.

"But today, I came here for you."

That confused her, "For... for me?"

He replied, giving her a slow smile.

¿_- Oh it's beautiful, that smile. -_¿ She thinks.

"I noticed you the last few times I was here. You stand out, Seraphina."

Hearing her name from his lips made her jolt; she hadn't mentioned her name to him and she was sure of it.

"How do you know my name?"

"Knowing things is how I stay ahead."

Worried and confused, her eyes drift down to her mug of hot chocolate and she then; her name was written on it with a paper tag.

"Who are you?" She decided to ask, afterall, he had just scared the hell out of her.

Letting go of the back of the chair he sat on, he leaned forward, close enough that she could feel his body heat roll off him.

... And his scent-leather and a cologne she couldn't name - wafted into her nostrils.

"Vnox," he says calmly.

"But you can call me Nox."

She didn't see the difference between both pronunciations but felt a thrill at the sound of his name.

Vnox.

The name was as unique as the man himself.

"What... what do you do?" She voiced, trying not to oogle him.

"Business. I run multiple chains of businesses."

His answer was vague, almost purposefully so, making her not to press further.

"Oh, that sounds... intense."

"They can be," he replied, studying her reaction carefully.

"But I'm drawn to intensity. It makes life more interesting."

She found herself unable to look away from him, especially his eyes - Onyx, stormy eyes.

He was definitely a walking red flag.

"What about you, Seraphina? What's a quiet, thoughtful girl like you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm... I'm a student," she answered, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Art history. I'm still in school."

"Art history," he mused.

"Fascinating subject. A study of beauty and darkness, wouldn't you agree?"

She nodded, a bit taken aback by his understanding of it; not many did.

"Yes, actually... it is."

A ghost of a smile touched his lips, "Tell me. Do you believe that beauty can exist without darkness?"

His question throws her off, but she immediately finds herself thinking about it.

"I... I'm not sure," she admitted.

"I suppose they might complement each other."

He gave her a slow nod, almost as if she'd passed some sort of intellectual test.

"You see the world differently," he says.

"That's what makes you... interesting."

She could feel her cheeks flush, but she kept her eyes on him, thinking.

¿_- I want to know more about this strange man. -_¿

Vnox relaxed his back on the seat again, folding his arms across his chest.

"We'll be seeing each other again."

Her eyes widened.

"I... I don't think-" she started but didn't finish as he held up a hand;

"We will, Seraphina. It's inevitable."

She wasn't sure how to respond to that, especially to how oddly sure he was.

But before she could find her words, he stood up, towering over her.

Even if she stood up, her 5'2 height would still be dwarfed by him.

"Goodbye," she says, in the stead of anything else she probably should have said.

"For now," he added.

Those onyx eyes linger on her blue ones for a while before he turned and left.

Seraphina was back home at her parents apartment, but she couldn't get over the café scene from her mind, even now that hours had passed and it was evening.

Vnox's presence, his deep voice, the way he seemed to see through her.

¿_- Why can't I stop thinking about him? -_¿

She was staring blankly at her nails, not actually looking at them or the books beside her which she was supposed to read.

Then her phone buzzed.

It was a message from an unknown number and clicked on it to view the message.

> "Sleep well, Seraphina," It read.

She was baffled; how did he get her number, wait, was it even him?

"It must be", she mused, biting at her lips.

"He did say he likes to knows things."

¿_- Still he could have typed 'hi' and introduced himself or asked for my number earlier, like a normal person. -_¿

There's a soft knock on her window.

"Hello?" she called; not like anyone would answer, it was mostly likely a stray cat.

Walking over, she opens up the window, but doesn't see anyone.

Only a single black rose lies on the outside sill with a note beside it.

Picking both of the items up, she feels the softness of the rose's velvety petals between her fingers.

Unfolding the note, she read aloud:

"Until we meet again."

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

His hand slid to my waist, hot and claiming as he yanked me flush against him. "Do friends kiss like this?" He kissed me. Hard. Possessive. "Or grab each other like this?" A squeeze to my ass. A gasp. "Or think filthy little thoughts?" His breath burned against my ear. "Touch themselves to it?" My cheeks flamed. My body betrayed me. "Stop lying, Venus." His voice was a growl. "I feel it. Every time I'm near you." I whispered, "But you don't even like me." His smile was pure sin. "I don't have to like you to fuck you." Then the offer: "Let's get it out of our system. No lies. No strings. Just truth." He grabbed my chin, eyes lit with hunger. "Say the word, princess." A whisper against my lips- "I'll ruin you." And God help me... I wanted him to. --------- Aaron Sinclair needs a bride to claim his inheritance. Venus Carter needs a miracle to save her dying mother.
