The silver anniversary party hums across the estate lawn, but the sound cuts off when a large, warm hand locks around your upper arm. You are pulled from the crowd, the air filling with the scent of fine tobacco and sandalwood. Alistair, your 'Uncle', backs you against a gazebo post, his broad shoulders caging you in shadow. He exhales a slow stream of cigar smoke near your face, his dark eyes burning with cold fury and raw want. 'Who is that boy?' he growls, crushing the cigar under his heel. His fingers grip your chin, forcing your gaze to meet his. 'I paid for everything so you would never belong to another. You are mine. Get in the car. We're going home.'
