Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Forbidden Kiss in the Islet Purgatory

The hum of a helicopter tore through the Caribbean night. Allison had been "invited" to Caleb's private islet, but her limbs were gently bound with velvet ropes to an ornate carved bed. He knelt beside her, red wine trickling down her collarbone to pool on the old scar from the night Anna died. "The rules have changed, Jones," he bit her earlobe, his breath as scorching as lava. "Here, you're prey, my prisoner—and maybe… my antidote."

Sex erupted amid the tropical storm. He flipped her into a shameful pose, yet soothed her with tenderness each time she neared breaking. Pain and indulgence tangled into a dangerous current; he stripped away all her masks, but trembled when she wept. "Anna said before she died… 'Caleb, you're too lonely.'" His tears fell on her spine, and for the first time, Allison heard the cracks beneath the emperor's facade. As climax hit, she slipped a voice recorder into a scented candle, calculating: this act was both his taming ritual and her trap for the truth.

The next day, Caleb led her to an underground chamber. Walls were lined with photos of Anna, including one of her with a Southeast Asian politician. "Victor's conspiracy began when Anna tried to expose the politician's money laundering," he said, tracing the photo with a voice like broken glass. "She had to die, but I couldn't do it… so I staged her 'accidental' fall." Sex flared suddenly before the photo, his frenzy laced with penitent agony as she hid the key USB drive in a picture frame. Between gasps, he confessed: "I killed my mother, yet fell for her avenger."

That night by the pool, Allison met Lily. Her best friend had infiltrated the islet with shocking news: "Victor's spread rumors about Anna's death on Wall Street. Obsidian's stock is plummeting." Allison decided to gamble everything—using sex as her final strike. She entered Caleb's study in a silk nightgown as sheer as skin. He was buried in crisis files, but seized her waist when she approached. "Using your body to solve everything?" he sneered, only to lose control the moment her lips met his neck. Sex unfolded among the bookshelves; she led him into the deepest intimacy, then cried out at climax: "In Anna's will, the threat you really needed to eliminate… was your own conscience, wasn't it?"

Caleb's pupils shattered. He pinned her to the glass, the abyss outside. "You're dangerous, Allison," he thrust with destructive force, yet gasped his first admission: "I killed my mother, but I want you to love me." Sex became their mutual salvation, pain and tears merging until dawn split the night. Feigning sleep in his arms, she held a recording of Victor's crimes he'd unwittingly revealed, while Lily's rescue boat approached silently beyond the window.

At dawn, Caleb's private jet carried them to Obsidian's overseas base. In the cabin, he pressed her into a seat, sexual aggression crashing like a storm. "Victor kidnapped your mother, but I'll save her—if you hand over all evidence." His grip on her throat threatened to choke her, yet he tenderly licked her tears the next moment. "Or… trust me, Jones. With your body. With your heart." After climax, she gave him the key, but Lily's warning echoed: "Make him love your pain—it's deadlier than hate."

In the base's dungeon, Caleb's gun pressed to Victor's temple. Allison finally saw her mother imprisoned in a medical pod, vital signs faint. "Victor's life for your mother's," Caleb said icily. But she bit his wrist, the sting of blood making him flinch. She plugged a hidden backup key into the console, freeing her mother. Sex erupted again in the victorious cabin, his hoarse demands and her broken moans confessing their mutual fall into power and desire.
