Cherreads

Chapter 10 - Sealed In Desire

The heated moment between them paused as Raphael gently broke the kiss, his breath warm against Nyx's lips. A soft whine escaped her, frustration evident in the way she gripped the fabric of his shirt, silently pleading for more. But Raphael cupped her face, his ruby eyes dark with restrained desire.

"Nyx," he murmured, his voice like velvet, "before we go any further, I need to ask you something."

She blinked up at him, lips swollen from their kisses, chest rising and falling in uneven breaths. "What is it?" she asked, her voice small but eager.

He brushed his thumb along her cheek, his touch grounding her. "I want you to sign a contract with me."

A contract. It wasn't just about the playroom or the club—it was about commitment, trust, and their dynamic. Nyx knew what it meant. This wasn't a fleeting arrangement. This was Raphael offering her something deeper, something lasting.

Her heart pounded. "Yes," she said, without hesitation.

Something flickered in Raphael's gaze—approval, possession, and a hunger that only deepened.

And then, he pulled a document from his desk, setting it between them. The BDSM Contract.

As Nyx pressed the pen to paper, her breath came in slow, steady waves. The moment the ink dried under her signature, she felt something shift between them.

A new beginning.

Raphael watched her, his lips curling into something dark and knowing. "Now, I'm going to show you exactly what you just signed up for."

And then, the moment of restraint snapped.

Raphael claimed her lips again, but this time, there was no hesitation. The kiss was slow yet intense, his tongue teasing hers in a way that sent a delicious heat pooling between her thighs. He kissed her as if he had all the time in the world, savoring every second, every soft sound she made.

Nyx melted into him, her body arching instinctively, craving more of his touch. He guided her backward until the edge of the plush velvet couch pressed against the backs of her knees. Without breaking contact, he lifted her, settling her onto his lap. The feel of his strong arms around her made her feel safe, desired, worshipped.

His hands roamed—not to take, but to cherish. He traced slow, reverent paths down her spine, igniting shivers of anticipation. When his lips trailed along her jaw, down to the sensitive spot on her neck, Nyx gasped, tilting her head to give him more access.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?" Raphael whispered against her skin, his voice thick with adoration.

Nyx's breath hitched. "You make me feel beautiful," she admitted.

He chuckled, the deep, rich sound vibrating through her. "Because you are, mon trésor."
