Chapter 21

As Hazel descended the stairs, the soft rustle of her long black dress seemed to whisper secrets to the night. The sleek fabric hugged her curves, showcasing her toned physique, and the open back added a touch of sultry sophistication. Her J'Adior heels clicked against the marble floor, echoing through the foyer like a promise of elegance. A small silver purse dangled from her hand, catching the dim light and sending shivers of light dancing across the walls. Orion stood by the stairs, his eyes fixed on the spot where she would appear. And then, she was there, a vision in black, her beauty radiating like a dark star. His gaze roamed over her, taking in every detail of her dress, every curve of her body. As she reached him, he reached out, his hands wrapping around her waist like a vice. He pulled her close, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her breath catch.
