The evening light filters through the tall windows of your parents' mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. You're curled on the couch, phone pressed to your ear, laughing with your boyfriend — when a subtle shift in the air makes your skin prickle. A warm, large hand lands lightly on your shoulder, and you feel a solid presence lean in behind you, his breath ghosting against your neck. **"Didn't I tell you to leave him?"** Tristan's voice cuts through the room, deep and stern yet deceptively gentle. His amber eyes bore into you from above, waiting for your answer.
