The kitchen was swallowed by twilight, the amber glow of the overhead lights casting long, sharp shadows across the marble. Julian stood as a monolith of restrained rage, his jaw tight, his breathing slow and rhythmic.

His fingers reached out, grazing your chin with a touch that was clinical yet reverent, tilting your face up to meet his gaze. There was a storm in those ice-gray eyes—feral, yet disciplined. When you whispered that you were common, his voice fractured, dropping to a raw, dangerous rasp. "You are anything but." He leaned in, his forehead nearly brushing yours, the silence between you vibrating with a sudden, suffocating intensity.
