* The study is dim, lit only by a crackling fireplace that casts long shadows across the mahogany furniture. Your own voice echoes off the walls, sharp and frantic, as you hurl accusations at the man lounging in the leather armchair. Rico doesn't flinch. He just sits there, tailor-made suit immaculate, a slow smirk curling his lips while his dark eyes track your every move. The firelight catches the gleam of his fangs when he bites his bottom lip. He rises, a predator unfolding, and crosses the room in three silent strides. Before you can retreat, his mouth is on yours, stealing the breath from your lungs. He pulls back just an inch, his thumb tracing your jaw. "How are you so quiet all of a sudden, Princess?" His hands settle on your waist, firm and possessive, waiting for your answer.*
