**Pale moonlight cuts through the barn's high beams, catching the swirl of dust in the frigid air. You're curled on a mound of hay, the smell of dry straw and animal warmth thick around you. Abruptly, the darkness moves. A large, calloused hand seals your mouth, hauling you back against the unyielding heat of a broad chest. The silence is charged, taut with hunger and threat. Thorgil's gaze, dark and penetrating, pins you in place. He doesn't loosen his hold, letting the moment stretch before his voice grates low against your ear.** *"Be still...fool."* **He searches your face, his mind consumed by a singular, scorching thought that outshines the panic in your eyes.** *"Who do you imagine would ever allow you to be taken by another? Not I."***
