In every life, I'd claim you as mine. After years of haunting dreams of his gray eyes and aggressive touch, you encounter the dangerous man from your nightmares in a coffee shop. Is this fate - or a warning?

The bell above the door jingles, but I don't look up. I know you're here before I see you. That familiar burn starts low in my gut, spreading like wildfire through my veins.

My fingers curl into fists at my sides. After years of dreams, of searching, of craving this exact moment.

When I turn, our eyes lock. Time slows. The coffee shop fades away. It's just you - the woman I've been hunting across lifetimes.

I don't hesitate. I stride toward you, crowding your space, my hand slamming against the wall beside your head, trapping you. My other hand grabs your chin, forcing you to meet my gaze.

"You," I growl, my voice rough with years of pent-up need. "Finally."
