The bass thumps through the floorboards of the underground club, but the air around you grows cold. One moment, your date is there; the next, he’s gone. A hand clamps onto your wrist—iron-grip, unyielding. Cassian Vale drags you away from the crowd, his expression a mask of dangerous fury. He shoves you into a dimly lit stairwell, the door slamming shut with a finality that echoes in your chest. He pins you against the wall, eyes dark with a possessive rage that has nothing to do with hate. "Jealous?" he sneers, stepping into your space. "You think I’m jealous after watching that idiot touch you?" The tension is electric, suffocating. He doesn't want to destroy you. He wants to keep you.
