TAKE ME, RUIN ME CHAPTER 31CHAPTER 31. I AM DOOMEDARIA'S POV "Were you dreaming about fucking me?"The question hangs in the air, blunt and heavy, hitting me with more force than a physical blow. I lie there on the guest bed, my eyes stretching wide as I gaze up at him. My heart is a frantic drum in my chest, and for a second, my mind is a complete blank. *What in the name of monstrosity is going on here?* I think, the panic finally starting to settle into my bones.I shake my head, a desperate attempt to clear the fog of sleep and the lingering heat of the dream. I try to scramble away, to push myself up and out of the bed, but he is faster. Adrian plants his hands on either side of my head, his arms like pillars of iron. He traps me against the mattress, looming over me with an intensity that feels almost demonic."What are you doing?" I whisper, my voice cracking.I place my palms against his chest, trying to shove him back, but it’s like trying to move a brick wall. He doesn't

TAKE ME, RUIN ME CHAPTER 33 CHAPTER 33. CRUMBLING ARIA'S POV "You just have to say the word, and I promise you that I'm going to take you hard right here. You’re going to have the best night of your life." Adrian’s voice is a velvet drug, smooth and dangerously addictive. I lie there, my chest heaving, as my eyelids flutter. I find myself staring up at the white ceiling, but I don't really see it. All I see is the blurred edge of the room and the shadow of the man looming over me. *Don’t be stupid, Aria. Don’t give in to this,* I scream at myself. I bite down on my bottom lip so hard I can taste the metallic tang of blood. I shake my head frantically, trying to rattle the desire out of my brain. "Stop! No... I can’t! You have to understand me!" Adrian doesn't look like a man interested in understanding. He looks like a man interested in conquering. He leans down, a slow, predatory smile spreading across his face. "What makes you think that I would actually listen to you?" He d

TAKE ME, RUIN ME CHAPTER 35CHAPTER 35. UTTERLY ALONE ARIA'S POV *What the fuck did I just do?*The question echoes in the silence of my mind, loud and accusing. I stare at him with wide, disbelieving eyes, my chest heaving as I try to process the words that just left my lips. I begged him. I actually begged him for it. My lips tremble, and I feel the heat of a fresh blush crawling up my neck. Adrian doesn’t look shocked; instead, he smiles down at me with a look that can only be described as demonic. It’s a look of pure, unadulterated triumph."You really are a little bitch, aren't you? You have absolutely no control when it comes to your own desires," he murmurs, his voice dripping with dark amusement.He moves closer, his large frame looming over me as he holds me tighter against the mattress. I feel the heavy, solid length of his erection dragging against the sensitive skin between my legs, a friction that makes my entire body shiver. My hands, acting on their own accord, trace

TAKE ME, RUIN ME, CHAPTER 37 CHAPTER 37. I COULDN'T SLEEP ARIA'S POV I twist under the sheets, one leg hooked over the edge of the mattress where the fabric has bunched into a damp knot. The pillowcase sticks to my cheek, cool at first then clammy as my skin heats up again. No position works. My brain won't shut off. It keeps looping back to Adrian's hands last night, the exact pressure of his fingers sliding along my hip bone, the low scrape of his voice saying things I shouldn't still hear this clearly. I press my face into the crook of my elbow, trying to smother the replay, but it only makes the images sharper. After what feels like hours of this, I sit up. The room is still dark, the kind of thick predawn gray that makes everything look flattened. My tongue feels coated in dust. I need water, something to cut through the cotton in my mouth. Bare feet hit the floorboards—cold enough to make my toes curl tight. The wood creaks once under my weight. I freeze, listening for
