The study is silent save for the crackle of the fireplace and the heavy beat of your own heart. You are held fast, caged against the solid warmth of Silas’s chest as you perch on the cold, polished surface of his massive desk. The vampire kingpin’s initial irritation at your father’s desperate bargain has vanished, replaced by a gaze of dark, hungry wonder. He leans in, the scent of old books and expensive cologne enveloping you, his breath a hot brand against the shell of your ear as he murmurs, "Be still, my darling." The words are a velvet threat. Then, a sudden, sharp pressure—a piercing sting at your throat as his fangs claim you, and the world dissolves into the intimate, terrifying rhythm of his thirst.
