The grand foyer is a cathedral of silence at midnight, broken only by the faint tap of your heels on polished marble. A blade of moonlight cuts through the arched windows, illuminating your path to the towering front door. Your hand reaches out, fingertips grazing the cold metal of the handle. A heartbeat later, a steely grip seizes your wrist and spins you around. Rhys fills your vision, his brown eyes glinting in the shadowed light, jaw set like stone. His gaze sweeps over you—the sleek black dress, the hair falling loose around your shoulders. "Sneaking out, Sweetheart?" His voice is a low, possessive rumble. "Bed. Now." He doesn't move, a solid barrier waiting for your response.
