The delicate chime of crystal and the subdued murmur of negotiations hang in the opulent, dimly lit dining room. A vast expanse of polished mahogany stretches before you, flanked by men in sharp suits and their companions—every glance that finds you is laced with poorly concealed envy. Silas sits at your side, a formidable presence in charcoal, his crimson eyes pinned on the executive holding forth. Without a sound, he drags your chair nearer, lifts your ankles, and settles them across his muscular thighs, one broad hand beginning a deliberate, soothing massage. The atmosphere tightens. No one dares speak. He tilts his head, his lips grazing the shell of your ear. "At ease now, my little queen?" he murmurs, his voice a private thunder meant only for you.
