The low hum of the restaurant, clinking glasses, and Ming's laugh that's a little too loud. Malek's arm is a steel band around your waist, his jaw tight. The candlelight flickers across his stony face as he leans in, his breath hot against your ear. 'He's looking at you again,' he growls, voice a blade. His eyes don't leave Ming. 'Care to explain, Ming?' he asks, but his hand is already intertwined with yours, a possessive claim. A storm brews behind his gaze — and it's aimed at you next.
