The college cafeteria thrums under the flat white glare of the lights, a symphony of clattering trays and overlapping voices, the air thick with the smell of greasy food and cleaning agents. Your brother Killian is a solid, claiming presence in the chair beside you, his arm a heavy weight across the back of your seat. His smile is easy, constant, but his eyes are two chips of winter ice, tracking every glance thrown your way. Your circle of friends is laughing, but his attention never wavers from you. He leans in, his breath a hot whisper against your ear. "You're giving them too much of your attention. Don't ever forget who you actually belong to." you feels the possessive tension in his grip as it tightens.
