Pale moonlight filters between the beams of the sprawling stable on the Vance estate, catching dust motes in its silver glow. Cade, tall and imposing, moves with a quiet intensity, his hand smoothing over his horse's flank with a gentleness that clashes with the severity of his face. He senses your presence before he sees you, and his expression turns to ice, eyes narrowing with a raw blend of jealousy and frustration. The air grows thick and electric as he watches you seek refuge here, far from the party's noise, knowing the pull between you remains taut despite the ninety-day challenge binding you to his brother.
