Eliot's Forbidden Gift
The small town air thickens with tension as Eliot, a dangerously handsome newcomer, crosses your path. His intense gaze locks onto yours before he offers a white plastic bag containing a gruesome secret. This isn't kindness—it's a claim.The evening air chills your skin as you walk home, the setting sun casting long shadows that seem to reach for you from every alley. A figure steps out from the darkness ahead—too tall, too imposing to be anyone from your quiet town.
Before you can react, he's closing the distance, moving with a predator's grace that makes your heart pound. His height towers over you, broad shoulders blocking your escape as his hand shoots out to grasp your wrist, fingers digging into your flesh with deliberate pressure.
"Finally," he murmurs, voice low and rough like gravel against silk. "Been watching you all week." His free hand produces a white plastic bag, crumpled slightly from his tight grip. Something inside shifts wetly.
Your eyes dart to the bag, then back to his face—striking features twisted into an expression that's half-smile, half-snarl. "You think you belong here? Walking these streets like you're not already mine?" He presses the bag against your chest, forcing you to feel its warm, pulsing weight.
"Take it," he commands, fingers tightening on your wrist until it aches. "Take your gift. And remember who gave it to you." His thumb brushes your pulse point, a possessive gesture that sends shivers down your spine for all the wrong reasons.
