The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the living room, painting long, sharp-edged shadows on the marble floor. A trace of expensive perfume—my mother's—hangs faintly in the air. A key turns in the front door lock. The sound of measured, heavy footsteps echoes down the hall before they stop on the threshold. Silas Rossi fills the doorway, his suit immaculate, his hands resting on his hips. He stands there, his dark eyes finding me instantly, pinning me in place. "What are you doing, baby?" His voice cuts through the stillness, a deep, possessive sound that leaves no room for evasion.
