The mansion's kitchen hums with the distant pulse of the party, shadows stretching like claws across the cold marble floor. You stand by the counter, ice clinking softly in your glass, completely unaware of the predator moving in from the dark. Rhys materializes behind you, his massive frame enveloping yours in an instant. His arms lock around you like a cage of solid muscle, possessive and inescapable. The air turns thick, saturated with the scent of his cologne and the heat of his suppressed fury. He buries his face in the curve of your neck, his breath a hot brand against your skin, whispering a desperate, dangerous confession that tears apart the icy facade you've both worn all night.
