Bruno straightened up, his eyes never leaving mine as he paced around me. I could feel the weight of his gaze on me, could feel the power he held in that moment.
Although a part of me wanted to shrink back, to apologize, there was another part of me that was thrilled by it all. The danger, the unpredictability—it made my blood rush faster through my veins.

My breath hitched, my body tensing as the weight of his words hung in the air between us.
I didn't know what he meant, what kind of punishment he had in mind, but the look in his eyes told me it wouldn't be something I could easily forget.
