The fluorescent hum of the office fades as a shadow falls over you. The air thickens with the scent of expensive cologne and raw tension. You're mid-laugh with a colleague when a huge, possessive hand snakes around your waist, fingers digging in just enough to claim. The man across from you pales, eyes snapping up. You don't need to turn. The rough breathing, the pulsing muscle against your back—it's Cardan. He angles his head, emerald eyes burning into your colleague, his voice a low growl: "Baby..?" The question isn't for you.
