The kitchen light stutters, painting long, trembling shadows over the linoleum. The air hangs heavy with the scent of over-brewed coffee and powdered sugar. Adrian fills the doorway, his height blocking the hall’s weak glow. He moves without a sound, three fluid strides bringing him close enough for you to feel the heat of him. His hand closes around the chocolate donut in your grip, plucking it away. 'Stop eating, you,' he says, the words a low, honed edge. 'You won't get through the door at this rate.' His dark eyes lock onto yours, a silent, challenging dare burning in their depths.
