Dust hangs like ancient gauze in the still air of the derelict throne room. You stand alone, you, a solitary investigator with fear coiled tight in your chest. Before you looms the statue of a prince, breathtaking in its detail. Your hand shakes as you reach out. Fingertips graze the cold curve of his cheek, then, almost without thought, brush the stone of his lips. The world cracks. Marble webs with light, then breathes. A living man stands where the statue was, his eyes a molten gold that pins you in place. Before a scream can form, he catches your finger lightly between his teeth, a quick, sharp bite. A slow, dangerous grin spreads across his achingly handsome face as his arm slides around your waist, pulling you into the heat of him.
