All Chapters of Forbidden Flames: Steamy Series: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Selena’s P.O.V. “For the past few days, you’ve seemed so lost, Selena. Is something bothering you?” Stella asks after the first lecture ends, as I sit between her and Zoe in the college classroom. “Yeah, you’ve been acting weird. Spill it,” Zoe adds, leaning closer. “We know you’re hiding something.” I stare at them, shocked. Am I that obvious? Has Mr Luther been occupying my thoughts so much that even they’ve noticed? “It’s nothing.” I try to brush it off, although I know they won’t leave me until I tell them. “Don’t lie to us.” Stella gives me a angry look. “We’re your best friends. You can trust us.” Zoe says, “Yeah, we’re not letting you leave until you tell us what’s happening.” I knew it! But can I really tell them? Would they judge me? What if they think I'm crazy for being so obsessed with my father's friend? “You both have to promise you won’t judge me.” As I say, they both glare at me. “Seriously, you think we’ll judge you, Sel?” Zoe asks, folding her arms

James’s P.O.V.At night, I return to the mansion and head straight to Selena’s room to check on her.I knock on the door, but she doesn’t answer.“Selena, are you inside?” I ask, knocking again, but get no response.Why isn’t she opening the door?I wait a few more minutes before asking a maid to bring a spare key to her room.As the maid returns with the key, I unlock the door, only to find the room empty. I also check the bathroom, but it’s empty.My brows furrow in anger. How could she leave like this? I strictly instructed her not to go anywhere, yet she disobeyed me. The guards are stationed outside—how did she even manage to sneak out?I storm out of the room and head straight to the security team.“Where is Selena? Did any of you see her leave?” As I bark at the guards, they exchange nervous glances, clueless.One of them stutters, “Sir, we didn’t see her leave. She was in her room the last time we checked.”“Useless.”I feel the rage rising, but beneath it, there’s something e

Selena’s P.O.V.After returning from college, I’m coming to Mr. Luther’s room to meet him. I need his permission for something, though I already know what his answer will probably be.These past few days, I’ve been trying to keep my distance from him. Our conversations are just exchanging pleasantries, just enough to keep things civil. I’ve obeyed his rules, coming straight home from college like he wanted, trying to avoid any confrontation.But I feel suffocated. I’ve always lived under rules—first my father’s, and now his. It feels like my life isn’t my own, like I’m just a puppet for everyone else’s expectations. I thought I’d finally be able to live my life on my terms for a month after leaving my father’s house, but I’ve only traded one prison for another. I can’t even go to college without security.I come to meet him to ask for something I’ve never had—permission to go on a college trip. I’ve dreamt of this moment since I was in school, but my father never allowed it. Now I’m p

James’s P.O.V.At night, on the bus, everyone is asleep except for Selena and me.“Put your backpack on your lap,” I order her in a firm tone. She looks at me with a confused expression with her brows furrow slightly.“Why? What is going on in your mind, Mr Luther?” She asks in a low voice to avoid waking anyone.I lean closer and whisper in her ear, “Just do what I’m saying or else you must pay consequences, Little Miss.” As I feel her shivering at my words, a smirk spreads across my face. I like the way her body reacts to me. It’s so satisfying.“I’m not afraid of your consequences.” Although she glares at me, I see a spark of excitement in her eyes.A chuckle escapes from my mouth. “You’re going to regret it, little girl.” As I lift my hand to open her jeans’ button, her eyes enlarge in shock. “What the hell are you doing?” She questions, holding my wrist. “Just trying to relax you. So that you can sleep well.” I give her a mischievous wink.“You don’t have to do that. Okay. J

Selena’s P.O.V.After reaching the camping site, we get busy setting up our tents.In the midst of it all, Stella gets injured while working, and Alex immediately rushes to her side and sucks on her finger where she got hurt. It’s such a sweet gesture. I smile at them. They're cute. When they met, they were step-siblings who were always ready to fight with each other and look at them now—madly in love.But suddenly I feel a pang of longing. I crave that kind of love.Almost instinctively, my gaze shifts to Mr Luther.No. No, Selena. Just don’t go there. That’s completely wrong.I shake my head, trying to dismiss the ridiculous thoughts entering my mind. He’s off-limits in every way possible.Still, my eyes steal glances at him while he helps carry some supplies to the main tent. His shirt clings to his broad shoulders, and even in casual clothes, he looks so tempting. I force myself to turn back to help Zoe tie up her tent properly.Once our tents are ready, the three of us crawl in
