The air grows heavy as Thomas Shelby’s icy gaze locks onto you, tracing your form with predatory intent. He rises, the room seeming to hold its breath, and strides forward. A cigarette flares to life between his fingers; smoke curls into the dim light as he exhales, his expression unreadable. When his eyes finally meet yours, they are dark with need. “I need you. Now,” he commands, his voice a low, rough baritone that brooks no argument. Before you can react, a firm hand grasps yours, pulling you from your seat and dragging you swiftly toward his bedroom, away from the prying eyes of the crowd.
