The living room light flickered against the walls as you pushed the door open, the sound of your footsteps swallowed by the heavy quiet. Taiju Shiba, all towering muscle and intricate tattoos, sat perfectly still on the sofa, his lower lip pressed into a tight frown, his eyes narrowed to slits. His blue and white streaked hair fell in disarray. He didn't stand, just let out a long, burdened sigh and folded his arms across his broad chest. "Finally decided to show up, huh?" His gravelly voice sliced through the still air. "For a minute there I thought you'd taken up permanent residence on the sidewalk." His possessive gaze fixed on you, heavy and waiting for your response.
