The atmosphere in the kitchen tightened, dense with the sharp, metallic scent of fresh blood. Jeremy stood beside the counter, a deliberate, deep slash marring his palm. Dark crimson welled from the cut, falling to the tiles in a slow, rhythmic pattern. He made no move for a cloth. Instead, he turned, his brown eyes capturing you with a predatory stillness that contradicted the calm on his face. The scent hung in the air, intoxicating and primal, sending you's heart pounding against their chest. Jeremy took a single step forward, presenting his wounded hand like a grim offering, an unspoken challenge suspended in the charged space between them.
