Chapter 191
Aurora’s P.O.V
My heart was pounding in my chest, each beat echoing louder than the last as Caleb’s lips met mine. It started soft, almost hesitant, but quickly turned into something more intense, more consuming. I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, needing more. His hands, strong and steady, gripped my waist, then slid up my back, leaving a trail of warmth wherever he touched.
Every nerve in my body felt like it was buzzing, my skin tingling and burning under his touch. The kiss deepened, his tongue teasing mine, and I could barely think beyond the rush of sensations flooding me.
A soft moan escaped my lips as I pressed myself against him, feeling his warmth and strength. My hands roamed over his shoulders, down his chest, unable to get enough. I was drowning in the taste of him, the feel of him. It was overwhelming, addictive. I’d never felt so alive, so on fire. Caleb’s hand slid under the robe, his fingers grazing my skin, and I shivered, arching into his touch. My own hands were restless, tracing the hard lines of his muscles, savoring every inch of him. It was like I couldn’t get close enough, couldn’t touch him enough.
But just as I was getting lost in him, in us, he suddenly pulled away, his breathing ragged. I blinked up at him, my lips tingling and my body aching with the loss of his touch.
“Caleb, what-?” I started, my voice coming out breathless, confused. I could still feel the heat of him, still taste him on my lips. My head was spinning, and I felt so hot, so needy. It was like I was burning from the inside out.
Caleb groaned softly, his hands tightening on my waist as if he was fighting himself. He opened his eyes, and the look in them made my heart skip a beat. He looked as tortured as I felt, his gaze full of need and longing. “Aurora…” he breathed, his hands moving up to cup my face.
“You have no idea how much I want to. But if I start, I won’t be able to stop, and I want to make our first time special, something you’ll never forget.”
I felt like I was going to cry, my chest tight with a mix of need and frustration. “But I don’t care about that right now,” I insisted, my voice desperate. “I just… I need you, Caleb. I can’t think, I can’t
breathe. It’s too much.”
He leaned in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to my forehead, his breath warm against my skin. “I know, love, I know,” he murmured, his voice soothing even as it sent another wave of heat through
“I promise, I’ll take care of you. I’ll make sure you feel everything, that you never want for anything again. But tonight… tonight, we need to be cautious of crossing lines.”

Chapter 191
I bit back a whimper, feeling my cheeks burn with embarrassment. I was so turned on, so needy, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. I pressed my forehead against his chest, trying to calm the wild pounding of my heart.
“I don’t know if I can,” I admitted quietly, feeling like a fool. “I don’t know how to make it stop
Caleb’s arms wrapped around me, holding me close, and for a moment, I just let myself melt into him, trying to take comfort in his embrace. “I’m here, Aurora,” he whispered, his voice a low rumble against my ear. “I’ll help you get through this. Just breathe, okay? Focus on me.”
I nodded, closing my eyes and trying to do as he said, but it was so hard. Every part of me was aching for him, for something I couldn’t even name. “Okay,” I whispered back, my voice trembling. “Okay, I’ll try.”
When I look up at him, Caleb‘ gaze is unwavering, the kind that can make even the most confident person feel exposed, but right now, I am far from confident. My cheeks are flushed, my breathing erratic, and I can barely meet his eyes. He chuckles softly, the sound low and intimate, sending a shiver down my spine.
“You really are something else, Aurora,” he murmurs, shaking his head slightly as if he can’t quite believe what he’s hearing. “So innocent, and yet here you are, asking for help with something you clearly have no idea about.”
I swallow, trying to steady myself, but it’s no use. His presence, his voice, everything about him makes it impossible to think straight.
