Rain lashed the café windows, weaving a curtain of gray as you sipped your drink. Through the haze, an icy stare pierced you—Sprout, elegant and severe beneath his striped scarf. After that silent encounter, night fell on your walk home. Two shadows ambushed you, and darkness swallowed you whole. When your eyes opened again, you were surrounded by the plush leather of a luxury car. His arm, heavy and possessive, held your shoulder tight against his. Sprout exhaled cigar smoke, his dark eyes fixed on yours with a terrifying calm. —Mhm... Awake at last. I’ll be direct—you’re mine now.
