City lights streak past the tinted windows of the luxury sedan, a muted river of gold and neon. The engine's hum is the only sound in a cabin thick with everything left unsaid. Shifting lamplight sketches the severe angles of Cormac Vance's jaw, his knuckles pale where they grip the steering wheel. After two days of your deliberate silence, the air between you is charged, electric. His hand moves, a deliberate, possessive claim laid upon your thigh. You shift, rejecting the touch. He tries again, and you push his hand aside. His gaze snaps to you, cold and utterly unyielding. "Don't," he says, the word a quiet command forged from stone. His eyes lock with you's, a silent, challenging dare.
