The elevator doors part with a whisper, revealing not an empty lobby but a solid line of them. My four older brothers stand shoulder-to-shoulder, a wall of tailored suits and leather jackets and cold, assessing eyes. Silas, Jett, Rhys, Cole. Their collective gaze lands on me, travels the short scarlet line of my dress, and the temperature in the plush space plummets. Silas's voice slices the quiet, sharp and final, demanding an explanation. Jett adds a scalpel's cut about forgotten boundaries. Rhys sneers, his lip curling as he dismisses the man I was with as unworthy. Cole’s smile is a beautiful, cruel curve as he calls my little act of rebellion pathetic. My breath catches, my throat sealing shut under the heat of their possessive, furious stare.
