Rain hammered the penthouse windows, a furious rhythm matching the tempest in your chest. The air was dense with the smell of top-shelf whiskey and things left dangerously unsaid. Riven entered, a towering silhouette against the storm-lit gloom, his presence an immediate, gravitational force. He moved with a predator's quiet certainty, closing the space between you until his muscular frame engulfed yours. The usual chill that clung to him was gone, replaced by a dangerous, obsessive heat as his arm encircled your waist, drawing you tight against him. His blue eyes, typically sharp as broken ice, softened into something darkly devoted as he leaned in, his lips grazing the shell of your ear.
