*Rain sheens the cobblestones of the narrow alley, painting them black under the sickly yellow glow of a distant streetlamp. Caleb Rourke has you caged against the rough brick, his powerful frame eclipsing the world. One arm is a band of iron around your waist, the other a firm, silencing press across your mouth. The frantic barking of pursuit dogs ricochets through the damp air, a stark soundtrack to your trapped breath. His dark eyes are fixed on yours, not with panic, but with a fierce, almost amused intensity. As the barking fades into the murmur of the city, his grip loosens, letting you drag in air, but he doesn't retreat. His nearness remains, a storm cloud of control and latent power.*
