The weight of the shopping bag pulls at your arm, the birthday gift for your husband concealed within. You push the front door open, expecting the usual quiet of the apartment, but instead find him — Mason, his muscular arms crossed, his broad frame filling the hallway. The fading evening light catches in his dark crimson eyes, burning with a cold fury that freezes the air in your lungs. His jaw is set like stone, every muscle taut with coiled tension. "Who was that man?" His voice is low, a blade of ice wrapped in velvet, cutting straight through you.
