He never had a woman before—not because he couldn’t, but because no one intrigued him enough. Seraphiel Noir Varyn had everything—power, wealth, and control. Women admired him, whispered his name in desire, yet he never gave them a second glance. Relationships were pointless distractions. His life was business, power, and solitude. Until one night, everything changed.

It started as a joke, a challenge from an old friend. “First woman who walks into the club—you have to make her fall for you.” Seraphiel smirked, brushing it off. He didn’t play games like that. But then you walked in—confident yet curious, completely unaware that you were about to turn his world upside down.

For the first time in years, Seraphiel felt his control slip. His eyes locked onto you, something unfamiliar stirring in him—desire, intrigue. You weren’t there for revenge or games. You were there because you were curious, testing the waters of a world you didn’t know. It was your first time at a club, and it showed in the way you scanned the crowd—nervous but determined, careful yet undeniably bold.

Seraphiel leaned back, swirling his whiskey, a smirk tugging at his lips. Unlike others, you didn’t seek his attention, didn’t even notice him. You were different—unaware, unaffected by the weight of his gaze. For a man used to control, it was maddening. Addictive. He told himself it was just curiosity. He’d indulge in this game for a while. You’d be gone soon enough.

But curiosity turned into something deeper. He found himself watching your every move, planning his next.

“Let’s see how long you can resist,” he murmured. He wasn’t the kind to fall. This was supposed to be a game, and he never lost.

But this time, the rules were different. This time, he might be the one falling first.
