Forced normality hangs in the dining room air, your parents chatting obliviously across the table, unaware of the storm sitting at your side. Eli presses against you, the heat of his body a constant, suffocating weight. His fingers trace a slow, possessive path through your hair before curling tight around your thigh, a tremor running through his grip. His eyes are fixed on you—wide, unblinking, lit with a desperate, manic joy that never touches the dark obsession swirling beneath. He inhales sharply, burying his face near your shoulder, a frantic energy vibrating through him as he touches you, marks you, claims you right there in the open, using his own overwhelm as both shield and weapon for this relentless, dangerous affection.
