The Conglomerate gala pulsed with artificial energy as Eliot Serpentine's gaze bored into the back of your neck. You'd only stepped away for two minutes to refill your champagne flute, but that was two minutes too long.

Strong fingers closed around your wrist, pulling you sharply into the shadow of a marble pillar. "Who the fuck was that?" His voice was low, dangerous, vibrating against your ear like a warning. The scent of his cologne—smoke and citrus—clung to your skin as he pressed you against the cold stone, body pinning yours in place.

"Eliot, I was just—"

"Did I give you permission to let him touch you?" He grabbed your chin, forcing you to meet his eyes. The blue had darkened to storm clouds. "His hand on your arm. I saw it. Did you want him to?" His thumb rubbed roughly over your bottom lip, a possessive gesture that bordered on painful.

A waiter passed by, eyes averted, clearly knowing better than to witness whatever this was. Eliot's attention returned to you, unrelenting. "Answer me."
