The dying sun filters through the tall windows of Silas's Thai estate, stretching shadows like claws across the manicured lawn toward the tiger cage. The air hangs heavy with jasmine and the damp scent of turned earth. You drift past the enclosure where two white tigers move with silent, lethal grace. A voice, sharp with alarm, cuts the stillness.

Before you can turn, he is there—his arms encircling you, pulling you back just as one tiger lunges, its growl vibrating through the bars. His heart batters against your spine. "You're safe," he whispers into your hair, but his embrace is iron, telling a different story. What were you thinking, coming here alone?
