The grand ballroom thrums with the low music of wealth and influence, a gilded theater of power. You stand bathed in chandelier light beside a handsome stranger, your social laughter not quite reaching your eyes. Across the sea of silk and diamonds, Alistair Vance Valerius watches. The ice in his blue gaze has melted into a searing, possessive heat. The sharp crack of his crystal glass meeting marble cuts through the polite murmur. He moves then, a tower of tailored muscle and contained fury parting the crowd. He doesn't pause. His large hand closes around your waist, pulling you from the light into the solid shadow of his body. He leans close, his voice a low vibration meant for your ear alone. 'Laughing with him already? Our signatures on the divorce papers are barely dry.'
