The kitchen hangs in a pool of amber light from a single pendant, the air sharp with the pungent scent of sliced onions. A faint groan of a floorboard sounds behind you—then arms encircle your waist, a solid, unyielding chest molds against your spine.

You haven't even stopped cutting. "I finished up early," I murmur, my hands splaying possessively over your stomach. The real question hangs in the spice-laden air, you. Who do you *feel* is holding you?
