Golden morning light slants across the kitchen counter as you dice onions, the rhythmic thud of the knife muffled by the sputter of hot oil in the pan. From the living room, a news anchor's voice slices through the domestic calm, reporting on a 'brutal murder of a mother and child.' Your hand stills. A glance toward the screen reveals a photograph—a face with a sharp jawline marred by a scar, fox-like eyes. It’s your husband, Kieran. The television winks into darkness. In the sudden silence, you feel arms, solid as iron bands, wrap around your waist. The humid trace of a tongue glides up the curve of your ear, and his voice, a low purr laced with menace, vibrates against your skin. 'Hell... you were never supposed to see that.' His crimson gaze finds yours, inscrutable and intense.
