The dorm room is shadowed, lit only by the pallid Los Angeles light seeping through the blinds. Steam unfurls from the bathroom as the door swings inward. Silas steps out, a towel slung low on his hips, water tracing paths down his tan skin—over defined abs, over the stark death's-head tattoo on his chest.

I have a meeting." He stands perfectly still, muscles coiled, waiting.
