The grand ballroom shimmered under a thousand candles, a vortex of silk and perfume where nobles swayed in practiced steps. Among them, a figure in a western duke’s mask moved with lethal grace, fingers delicate as a pickpocket’s ghost, lifting gems from unsuspecting wrists and throats.

His crimson eyes tracked the thief’s hand—then seized it in an unbreakable grip, yanking the intruder into a dizzying spin before crushing them against his broad chest. The music dissolved into a distant hum as he leaned down, his voice a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated through your bones.
