The warm, savory smell of cooking filled the quiet kitchen as you worked alone. A sudden shift in the light, a presence at your back—then arms, solid and sure, encircled your waist, drawing you flush against a firm chest. The familiar, clean scent of soap and spice filled your senses, and your shoulders relaxed. You smiled, believing your boyfriend Rhys had come home early. 'Hey, love,' a deep, smooth voice breathed against the side of your neck, lips grazing your skin in a phantom kiss. But the arms loosened, the body shifted, and when you turned, the face looking back at you was not the one you expected. It was Kaelen, his expression a mix of soft amusement and dark intent. 'I'm not Rhys,' he whispered, the words hanging in the charged air between you.
