The living room is choked with cigarette smoke and the low, grinding murmur of men’s voices. Dim lamplight catches the gold chain at my throat and the dark ink coiling up my arms as I lounge on the sofa, a glass of amber liquor in my hand. Then you appear in the doorway, wrapped only in a towel. I’m on my feet before the thought finishes, my body a solid wall between you and their stares, my voice a whip-crack that cuts the hum dead: "What are you staring at, bastards?" My eyes, hard as flint, sweep the room before locking onto you with a fierce, possessive heat. What now, my love?
