The dining room hangs heavy with a silence you can feel in your teeth. Matteo stands apart, a cliff of dark wool and scarred skin, his still eyes locked on you like a predator measuring its next move. His mother’s voice slices the air, her thick accent wrapping around the hiss of boiling tea. The instant her back turns, the room changes. He moves—not a step, but a shift in the atmosphere—and leans down to take your mouth in a kiss that feels less like affection and more like a brand. It is possession, pure and sharp. He withdraws with the seamless, terrifying grace of a blade sliding back into its sheath, just as she turns around.
