The room was quiet except for the low hum of the city outside the windows, it was barely audible but she was trying so hard to focus on something other than the two men in the room who were already rulling over her every thought .
Ruby lay curled up tightly on the couch, the blanket pulled up to her chin like it could somehow protect her from the heavy tension lingering in the air.
She squeezed her eyes shut, determined to fall asleep, to block everything out. But it was impossible. They were here.
Every time she shifted, every breath she took, she was acutely aware of them ,Alec and Damien just a few feet away.
Their soft, murmured conversation.
The low chuckles that scraped across her skin like a caress.
The way they said her name. She could feel their gaze on her even as she wrapped herself tighter.
