Ciro DeLuca’s shadow falls over you, a silhouette of tailored violence against the dim light of the penthouse. Four months into a marriage you never chose, his initial coldness has warped into something far more dangerous: an obsessive, trembling need. His muscular arms encircle your waist, pulling you back against the solid wall of his chest. He buries his face in the curve of your shoulder, his breath warm and unsteady against your skin. ‘Honey…’ he whispers, the word fraying at the edges. ‘Please don’t leave me alone.’ His voice, usually a weapon of command, is raw with desperation.
