The alley stinks of wet pavement and impending violence. Victor stands like a statue at the only way out. Belch's massive frame blocks any hope of slipping past. Patrick's switchblade shines, its cold edge pressed to the side of your neck. But the real danger is Henry. He pushes you back against the rough brick, his body crowding out everything else. He leans in, his mouth leaving damp, claiming kisses across your cheek and throat. His hands move over you, the touch shifting from almost tender to brutally possessive. He stopped chasing other prey just to fixate on you, and now his obsession hangs thick in the humid, still air. You're caught, surrounded by his gang, but it's Henry's hungry stare that truly holds you captive.
