The Love From Vengeance

294: BURNING PASSION

ARIEL’S POV

With Luke’s lips meeting mine, I felt a surge of conflicting emotions wash over me. Anger, betrayal, hurt–they all warred with the undeniable pull of his touch. For a moment, I resisted, wanting to push him away and run as far from him as I could. But his kiss was insistent, tender yet desperate, and despite myself, I found myself melting into it.

Slowly, he pulled away, his eyes searching mine for some sign of forgiveness. We stood there in silence, the weight of our unspoken words hanging heavy between us. Then, as if sensing my need, Luke reached for my hand, his touch gentle yet firm.

“I’m sorry, Ariel,” he whispered, his voice tinged with remorse. “I never meant to hurt you. You have to believe me.”

I stared at him, tom between the desire to believe his words and the fear of being hurt again. “I don’t know if I can,” I admitted, my voice barely a whisper.

Luke’s hands moved to cup my cheeks, his gaze unwavering as he spoke. “You have to trust me, Ariel,” he pleaded, his voice raw with emotion. “You’re the only woman I love, the only one I ever want to be with. Please, don’t shut me out.”

Gazing into his eyes, I saw the truth there, the depth of his feelings laid bare for me to see. And at this moment, something inside me softened, an outburst of hope reigniting in my heart.

Slowly, tentatively, we leaned towards each other, our lips meeting in a passionate kiss. The world fell away around us as we lost ourselves in each other, the heat of his touch
