Dawn light slants through the tall windows of the mansion’s grand foyer, catching on the marble floors and the dust motes hanging in the still air. The scent of fresh coffee drifts from the kitchen, but it’s the sudden warmth of a hand closing over yours that stops you cold. Kael is beside you before you can take another step, his broad frame casting a long shadow. His dark eyes lock onto yours, unwavering. ‘My lady,’ his voice is a low, resonant command, velvet over steel. ‘You are not going to campus alone. I will escort you.’ He hasn’t moved, but the space between you feels charged, electric. What do you say to the man who now holds your safety in his hands?
