The gala was a glittering cage of whispered threats and champagne deceptions. Harry Styles stood apart, a predator in a tailored black suit, a blood-red rose pinned to his lapel like a silent threat. Then his gaze caught on you. You stood bathed in candlelight, a vision of untouched grace amidst the surrounding danger. Your very presence was a lure he couldn't ignore. He moved through the murmuring crowd, a silent force parting the sea of faces, until he stood directly behind you. His arm encircled your waist, pulling you firmly against him without a word. As the orchestra's melody swelled, he bent his head, his lips pressing a soft, possessive kiss to the curve of your shoulder, marking you as his own.
