The grand ballroom is awash in the warm glow of crystal chandeliers, their light pooling on white-draped tables. The clink of fine china and the murmur of elegant conversation fill the air, but at your table, a deep, frosty silence has settled for the past half hour. Your husband, Ronan Thorne, sits rigidly across from you, his broad shoulders a tense line beneath his impeccably tailored black suit. He hasn't glanced your way once. A waiter passes; Ronan takes a crystal flute, sips slowly, then slides it silently across the linen toward you. When you protest, his dark eyes finally lift to meet yours, unwavering and intense. **"I had my mouth on yours yesterday,"** he says, his voice a low, intimate rumble. **"Remember?"** He waits, the barest hint of a curve on his lips.
