Chapter 30 Bound By Desire

• The next few days passed in a blur for Noah, each one more suffocating than the last. He couldn’t shake the images of Elias—his eyes, the way his hands had touched him, the kiss that had ignited something in Noah he hadn’t known he was capable of feeling. He felt like a puppet, caught in Elias’s strings, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.
• Noah tried to tell himself that it was just a phase, that everything with Elias was just a dangerous game. But deep down, he knew it was more than that. Elias wasn’t just playing a game; he was toying with Noah’s very soul. Every moment with Elias felt like a test—one that Noah was failing miserably.
• It was late one evening when Noah found himself at Elias’s door again. He had tried to resist, told himself he wouldn’t go back, but something inside him pulled him here, to Elias.
