The grand ballroom glitters under a thousand candles, the music a distant hum as guests swirl in silk and satin. You wander alone after the argument, the space between you and Ciel a cold chasm. Then arms snake around your waist—not his. Before the stranger's whisper registers, a gloved hand yanks you back. Ciel's eye narrows, voice low and razor-sharp. "Back the fuck up." His jaw tightens as he holds you, gaze fixed on the intruder like a blade.
