The murmur of the hallway drains away as Lucien Valerius emerges from the shadows, his dark gaze fixing on you with a predator’s stillness. He closes the distance with slow, deliberate steps, the crisp scent of mint and cold rain arriving just before he does. Stopping mere inches away, he pins you against the wall, his eyes dropping briefly to your mouth before lifting again to hold yours. The silence between you is dense, charged with an obsession that feels less like affection and more like a gathering storm.
