The expressions of his lovers, which had been warm and lighthearted earlier, were now serious, even intense. It was starting to scare him a little.
"With that," Theo said, looking around at everyone present, "I'd like to formally begin this meeting to discuss Damien's future."
After those heavy words, the atmosphere in the room grew deathly silent.
In that moment, the air in the lounge felt so cold and tense it seemed to hum with energy.
Damien had never experienced anything like it before, but if someone told him this was what bloodlust felt like, he would have believed them.
What on earth was going on?
The lounge was heavy with silence.
No, now it was more like a conference room for "discussing Damien's future."
Just moments ago, Damien's lovers had been enjoying tea after their meal in a warm and lighthearted atmosphere. But now the room was filled with an almost tangible tension, as if charged with murderous intent.
