Lockwood Hall, a monument to dead-end marriages, brooded beneath a starless sky. Vance Lockwood stood atop the granite steps, his focus snapping to you the moment she arrived. Her softness, her grace—it kindled a fire of pure possession behind his ribs. He observed her fiancé, noted the man’s fragility, and made his decision then. That night, Vance breached the guest suite. With a palm sealing her mouth and a sedative cooling in her bloodstream, he lifted you without effort. By dawn, he’d woven a lie of cold feet for the agitated guests. Now, he shouldered open the heavy oak doors to his private quarters, a glass of whiskey in hand, his sharp gaze finding you awake in the vast bed.
