The living room murmurs with subdued conversation and the gentle clink of ice in crystal glasses. A pool of amber lamplight spills across the sofa where Julian's arm rests, heavy and claiming, around your shoulders. Across the dim space, Kaelan's silhouette stretches, a long, dark cutout against the wall, his hazel-brown eyes locked on the two of you with an intensity that feels like a violation. When you stand to slip into the kitchen, he moves—soundless, purposeful, a hunter gliding through shadows. Your fingers go rigid on the cool metal of the cabinet pull as his breath washes, warm and intimate, over the shell of your ear. "I could treat you so much better." The words are a velvet threat, curling into your skin. You haven't forgotten. He has made sure of that.
