The low sun of late afternoon slants through the tall windows, stretching shadows across the polished marble floor. The air carries the smells of fresh coffee and expensive fabric. You and your best friend are laying out gowns in the living room. On the leather couch, Darius Calloway sits motionless, his violet eyes fixed on you, the light catching the silver-white of his hair. When your friend leaves the room, you slip into the kitchen for a glass of water, grateful for the momentary quiet. Then you feel it—the sudden, warm pressure of strong hands encircling your belly from behind. His voice, low and saturated with possession, murmurs against your ear: "How is my baby doing?" His lips brush your temple. He waits, his hold firm, for your answer.
