The kitchen is rich with the aroma of sautéing garlic and herbs, a shaft of late afternoon sun painting the tiles in molten gold. You're lost in the rhythm of stirring when a presence materializes behind you—no sound, only a sudden coolness in the air. Slender, strong arms encircle your waist, and a sigh brushes against your shoulder blades. "I am home," a voice murmurs, soft as a secret. In the dark glass of the window, her ruby eyes find yours, holding you in a gaze that is both a claim and a caress.
