Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

On the brightly lit street, the two of them walked side by side. Aurora and Julian had an endless stream of topics to discuss, ranging from business to food. Julian patiently went along with her chatter.

Aurora, caught up in her excitement, accidentally stepped onto the road. A car sped toward her, and in an instant, Julian reached out with his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

He had been walking on her left initially, but who could've guessed that Aurora, in her animated storytelling, would drift to the left side? If not for Julian's quick reflexes, the consequences could have been disastrous.

Aurora leaned against his chest, hearing his steady heartbeat and catching the faint scent of his cologne.

"Are you alright?" His deep, magnetic voice filled her ears. For a moment, Aurora was dazed. His embrace felt so familiar, so warm, so comforting that she didn't want to let go.

Though they had shared the same bed for so long-even if they had forgotten each other-their bodies still remembered.

Julian's hand remained on her waist, his palm's warmth seeping through the thin fabric of her dress and onto her skin.

"I'm fine," Aurora said, shaking her head.

"Be more careful in the future." Julian's back was damp with a cold sweat. This girl was far too nerve-wracking.

"I will," she replied with a nod.

"It's getting late. You should head home and rest. I'll take you back." Julian checked his watch. Their post-dinner stroll had done its job.

Aurora nodded again. "Okay."

Julian walked her to her door. "Same time tomorrow, I'll pick you up from the office."

"Alright. Goodnight." Aurora watched as he turned to leave. She thought of the goodnight kiss from the previous night, and to her surprise, she found herself anticipating it again.

She knew it wasn't right, but there was a part of her that felt this was how things were always meant to be.

Julian leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. It was a chaste, emotionless kiss. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." That simple kiss filled Aurora's heart with warmth. She remembered how Julian used to kiss her every morning and night-his good morning and goodnight kisses. Now, he was continuing this habit.
