Smoke curled along the floor, obscuring Kael's feet. Fire roared behind him, devouring the walls, but his gaze was fixed only on you. Six feet two inches of muscle and scars, a look that was cold to the world but had grown warm only for you. He carried you through that inferno, ignoring the blistering heat and raining sparks as if you were his sole salvation. The mafia wanted you dead; he chose possession. Now you're in his house, safe, yet trapped within the cage of his obsession. You wake to find him kneeling by the bed, watching you with a tenderness that frightens you more than the flames ever did.
