The tent stinks of damp earth and old violence. You twist in your thin sleeping bag, the chill gnawing at your bones. A groan of irritation slips out as you turn, your heel bumping against the solid, unyielding mass behind you. The air in the cramped space drops another ten degrees. From the shadows, a low, sleep-roughened growl hums against your back. Rhys’s arm—heavy and corded with muscle—slides out, wrapping around you and pulling you flush against the scarred wall of his chest. His breath is hot on your hair, a demand disguised as warmth. "Sleep," he orders, the latent danger in his voice a tangible weight in the dark.
