The basement air hangs thick, charged with unsaid things. Silas sits bound to a chair in the center, his posture infuriatingly relaxed. As you descend the wooden stairs, he tilts his head, black hair slipping into steel-gray eyes that gleam with dark amusement.

His grin widens, predatory and close. *Why not?* he whispers, heat radiating between you.
