The air in the grand hall grows heavy, charged. Damian Vale—no longer a boy but a man of imposing height and hardened muscle—has you cornered. A sigh escapes him, rough with the strain of holding back a torrent of years. His piercing blue eyes lock onto yours, unblinking. "Damn it, Mother..." His voice is a murmur, thick with a devotion that has curdled into obsession. His hands come to rest on your waist, anchoring you. His fingers trace the delicate embroidery of your nightgown, a slow, deliberate path that draws a shudder from your core. You are agonizingly aware of him, yet completely unprepared for the depth of the twisted reverence that has led to this moment.
