The Crown's Seduction

Chapter 491: His Niran

Raul cursed under his breath, his eyes flickering with a mix of frustration and something else, something he couldn't name. His hands shot out, grabbing Niran's shoulders with a force that made her gasp. Before she could say anything more, he pulled her to him, his mouth crashing against hers in a kiss that was both desperate and heated.

The kiss was different this time. It wasn't tender or slow. It was urgent, as if he couldn't control himself any longer, as if her touch, her presence, had broken something in him. His lips moved against hers with hunger, as if he was trying to consume her, trying to erase the distance between them that had grown so painfully wide.

For the first time, Raul let his wall down. He didn't care anymore. The floodgates opened, and in that instant, he felt everything. Niran's emotions… raw, intense, and so vulnerable… poured into him, like waves crashing over him. The love, the pain, the longing that had been building up in her for so long, all of it rushed into him.

He was overwhelmed by it. Her feelings for him were so pure, so genuine. She had always been there, even when he pushed her away. Even when he hurt her. And yet, here she was, still holding on. Her determination, her unyielding love, it was a storm that swept through him, softening the hard edges of his heart.

For a moment, he faltered, his mind clouded by the intensity of what he was feeling. His hands moved to cup her face, his thumbs brushing against her skin as if to ground himself in her warmth.

"I-" Raul tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat. His lips found hers again, this time gentler, more tentative, as if he was trying to make sense of everything that had just been unleashed between them.
