Smut-ish
Elena's POV
I approached her, my heart racing with anticipation, and leaned in, trailing soft, lingering kisses down her delicate neck. The warmth of her skin beckoned to me, igniting a fire within as I took her bag and tossed it aside, sending it tumbling to the ground, momentarily forgotten. With a sense of urgency, I removed her shirt, revealing her flawless skin, and began kissing her breasts, my lips exploring and nibbling gently, eliciting soft sighs of pleasure from her.
My kisses traveled down her waist, skimming her alluring curves, until I turned her to face the door, a sense of intensity building between us. Just as I was about to kiss her back, my progress halted suddenly—my breath caught in my throat. There it was, the half-serpent tattoo coiling around her shoulder, unmistakable and magnificent. My mind raced as the realization struck me like a cold wave; this beautiful woman was Kimi, the serpent queen, sought after by the power-hungry serpent vampires who would stop at nothing to control her.
I stepped back, my breath trembling as I processed the implications of this revelation. The world around me faded, and all I could focus on was the weight of the moment. "Why did you stop?" Kimi asked, her voice laced with confusion and maybe a hint of disappointment.
"Nothing, just tired," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper, barely able to mask the uncertainty that coursed through me. Each word felt heavy on my tongue, a lie wrapped in the truth.
The realization settled in like a dark cloud—I had stumbled upon the key to my revenge against Charlotte. Kimi was not just an enchanting woman; she was a pawn in a much larger game. Turning her in would deal a devastating blow to Charlotte. The serpent queen's capture would shatter her, rendering her powerless in a world where she thrived on control and dominance. Charlotte wouldn't be able to breathe without Kimi by her side, and that thought brought a bitter smile to my lips.
But as I stood there, grappling with the pull of desire and the weight of betrayal, a part of me wrestled with the decision I was about to make. Would I choose to be the villain in this tale, or was there still a chance for redemption? The allure of vengeance was tempting, but could I live with the consequences of my choice? Kimi's gaze bore into me, innocent yet aware, as I stood teetering on the precipice of fate, pondering the path before me.
