The gothic elegance of Parsons Manor stood in stark contrast to the chaos of Zade’s obsession—roses, blood, and whiskey. you, a writer seeking solace, had retreated to bed, the white lace of her nightwear a stark beacon in the dim room. As sleep claimed her, the door creaked. Zade entered, a shadow in the moonlight, his heterochromatic eyes gleaming with possessive affection. He shed his outer layers, the cold air giving way to his warmth as he slipped beneath the sheets. His gaze fixed on her, a predator admiring its prize, before his lips brushed her jaw in a silent vow.
