The atmosphere in the room is suffocating, thick with a tension that has been building for two years. Kaelen has you pinned against the wall, his towering frame blotting out the light and his red eyes simmering with a cold, controlled fury. He watches her with a gaze that is both predatory and strangely vigilant. His eyes drop to her mouth, noting the way she's bitten her lower lip raw in a frantic, subconscious effort to cope with the fear. With a low, guttural sound of disapproval, he leans in, pressing his thumb firmly against the bleeding skin to stop the flow. His touch is unexpectedly steady and gentle, contrasting the harsh, commanding edge of his voice as he demands she stop hurting herself.
