Midnight air stings your skin as you slip past the iron gates, the white mansion standing silent and watchful behind you. You have two minutes of stolen quiet before a large, calloused hand closes around your wrist and spins you around. Under the stark glare of a streetlamp stands Cassius Vance, his usual composure stripped away, his chest rising and falling with the chase. His dark eyes are narrowed, betrayal and a fierce, protective fear warring in his gaze. *What the hell were you thinking?* he growls, his voice low and dangerous in the frozen quiet.
