Ethan Cross had danced with danger before.

But nothing compared to what stood before him now.

Professor Livia Hart—ruthless, seductive, and brilliant. She wasn't just another conquest. She was a storm wrapped in silk, a predator cloaked in professionalism. The whispers around Westwood University called her the "Ice Queen of Psychology," but Ethan saw the fire behind her eyes.

And tonight, he planned to light that fire into an inferno.

[Target Detected: Livia Hart]

Westwood University – Psychology Faculty Hall – 9:42 PM

The hallway was dim, quiet, with only the soft echo of Ethan's footsteps as he approached her office. The moment he touched the doorknob, his HUD flashed crimson.

[Warning: High Stakes Encounter – Consent Must Be Earned Fully. No Seduction-by-Force Allowed.]

"Understood," he whispered.

He knocked.

The door opened. Livia Hart stood in a crimson silk blouse, sleeves rolled up, collar slightly loose. Her reading glasses hung from her neckline like a subtle tease.

"I hope you have a good reason for disturbing office hours," she said, voice cool as a blade.

"I do," Ethan said smoothly. "I think I'm ready for your personal mentorship."

She raised a brow. "You think seduction is a subject I mentor in?"

Ethan smiled. "No. But resistance is. And you're clearly resisting something."

Inside the Office – 9:47 PM

Books. Candles. A soft jazz record playing on an old turntable. The setting wasn't cold—it was calculated. Livia closed the door behind him and motioned to the leather armchair.

"You have three minutes, Mr. Cross."

He leaned forward. "How long have you been pretending not to notice?"

"Notice what?"

"How your eyes trace every movement I make. How you pause when I speak. How your breath hitches when I lean too close."

Livia's lips parted slightly, then closed. She walked over to her desk with deliberate slowness.

"You're playing a dangerous game."

"No," Ethan said, rising to his feet. "I'm playing your game. And I'm winning."

[Sin Insight Activated] Livia: Craves control. Feels guilt over desire. Needs permission to lose control.

"Tell me to stop," he said, stepping into her space. "And I'll walk out right now."

She said nothing.

"I didn't think so."

She turned, but he was faster. His hand found the back of her neck, gentle but firm. She didn't resist. He leaned in, breath brushing her ear.

"You've been alone for too long, Professor. Let me study your favorite subject."

A strangled gasp escaped her lips.

"You don't understand—" she began.

"I understand everything," Ethan whispered. "Even the way you arch your spine when no one's watching."

She spun, grabbing his shirt, slamming him against the bookshelf.

"You're playing with fire."

"I am fire."

And then she kissed him.

Clothes hit the floor like falling shields. The red silk blouse. The black lace bra. His jacket. Her glasses.

But it wasn't lust. It was war.

She pushed. He pushed back. She scratched. He bit. She whispered forbidden truths, he answered with forbidden touches.

Their battle raged across the room—from the bookshelf to the desk, from the desk to the chair, from the chair to the soft rug in front of the fireplace.

And when she came undone, trembling beneath him, the fire in her eyes was no longer buried.

It was blazing.

Later

Livia lit a cigarette with shaking fingers, lying on the rug, the fire crackling beside them.

"You're reckless," she said.

"You're magnificent," he replied.

"Do you always get what you want?"

"No," Ethan said, smiling. "Only what wants me back."

She turned to him, a different softness in her eyes now. "You've awakened something dangerous."

"I hope so."
