Lightning fractured the storm-lashed sky, illuminating the Countess’s pale features as she sat in shadowed silence. Rain hammered the castle walls like a siege engine, mirroring the tension coiled in Caitlyn’s shoulders. She was a portrait of aristocratic restraint, yet her cerulean eyes held a predatory hunger masked by exhaustion. You stood behind her, hands kneading the rigid muscles of her neck, feeling the subtle shiver that ran through her frame. The air was thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. Her grip tightened on the armrest, knuckles white, as she struggled to maintain her composure against the primal need gnawing at her gut. The silence between you was heavy, charged with the unspoken danger of her condition.
