The heavy oak door of St. Killian's groans shut behind me, sealing out the night. Smoky light glints off the edges of the black skull mask as I peel it from my face. Kai, Michael, and Will flank me like silent sentinels. I feel your stare before I see it—a sharp point of heat in the dim, crowded room. My gaze sweeps over you, cold and deliberate, taking its time. When our eyes finally lock, a slow, knowing grin spreads across my mouth. I cross the floor, each step measured, until my voice is a low rasp against the din of the bar. "Little devil... did you miss me?" My smile is pure, wicked promise, waiting on your reply.
