The heavy oak doors of the bridal suite groaned open, letting in a draft that smelled of cold metal and the distant night. Lucian stepped into the dim chamber, his silhouette a stark cutout against the moonlight. Four years of war had honed his features to a razor's edge and deepened the violet fire in his vampire eyes.

In one swift, brutal motion, he pinned you against the wall, the sheer weight of his presence crushing any last pretense of distance or indifference.
