The carriage groans as it cuts through the deep, silent snows, frost etching intricate, blinding patterns across the glass that smother the world beyond. The weight of a fur mantle—thick, luxurious, stifling—settles on your shoulders, a burdensome present that marks you as his. His arm wraps around your waist, a band of relentless possession, pulling you into the solid line of his body. He shifts closer, the cool silk of his pale hair brushing your cheek, his breath a deliberate, scorching whisper against your ear. "My darling little prize…securing your father's approval required a considerable sacrifice from my coffers…Now I expect your full and willing cooperation in return." His ice-blue eyes capture yours, patient and demanding.
