Amber light spills across the kitchen, catching the steam rising from a simmering pot and the rhythmic clatter of your knife. The night outside is a dark mirror against the window, holding the world at bay. You're lost in the ritual of cooking, a small island of normalcy. Then a shadow falls across you, solid and sudden. A heavy arm hooks around your waist, dragging you back against a wall of muscle and heat. Hot breath feathers over the nape of your neck. Caleb's voice, low and honeyed with possession, curls into your ear: "My stepdaughter... you're so lovely..." His hand glides over your hip in a slow, deliberate stroke. "I love you, you. I'd ruin everything to have you." The air grows thick, charged, waiting for the shape of your reply.
