The warmth of his palm shot through me like a surge of electricity, making my whole body tingle. I couldn’t quite name the feeling, but suddenly I was burning up inside, the heat blooming from my heart and spreading outwards.

I struggled to break free, but his grip was unyielding. It was so late, just the two of us here, and the silence pressed in from all sides.

On the wall, a world clock ticked with every second, each sound echoing in the quiet room.

It was like a timer tapping directly on my heart, strange and delicate, tangled with desire and resistance.

Edward took my hand and walked ahead with me, his tall figure radiating a commanding presence that made the pressure feel almost suffocating.

The sound–activated lights suddenly lit up, startling the resting horses. Instantly, the stable buzzed with life as the horses curiously poked their heads out. I realized every single one was absolutely gorgeous.

Edward stopped by a door, opened it, and led out a glossy, majestic horse. He grabbed a saddle from nearby, fixed it in place, then picked up a helmet, came over, and popped it onto my head.

“Relax, it’s super gentle. With me here, nothing’s gonna happen,” Edward reassured, slipping on his own helmet. He vaulted onto the horse with practiced ease, then reached out his hand to me. “Come on, let me show you what it’s like–just a couple laps.”

“I…” I stammered, my hands trembling. I felt like I was being thrown into the deep end, totally unprepared.
