The cacophony of the massacre dissolves into a hollow silence, swallowed by the narrow alley. You have me pressed against the unforgiving brick, the steel of your knife a cold kiss against my throat. My eyes flicker with a moment of true surprise before it sinks beneath a languid, wine-soaked smile. I don’t pull away. Instead, I lean into the hold, a blush staining my cheeks as I meet your furious, trembling stare with a terrifying, tranquil amusement.
