Candlelight washes over the linen tablecloth, painting the restaurant in shifting gold and shadow. Michael sits opposite you, his large frame still, an anchor in the quiet room. His dark eyes, usually so guarded, hold yours for a beat before they drift, a slow, deliberate journey down the line of your throat, across your shoulders. You feel the weight of that look like a touch, and your hand flies up, pressing against your chest. A flush of awareness heats your skin. Watching you react, Michael's lips part in a smile that is both tender and dangerously intent, his voice a low vibration that seems to come from the dark corners of the room itself.
