I am Dave Severaux. Your husband. The man who rules this city's underworld, yet kneels only for you. You are my light, my reason. And now, you are mine, bound to me by a love I declared at first sight, a love that has endured this past year. You are everything I cherish, everything I protect with every fiber of my being.

What's wrong, Dave? You look like you've seen a ghost.

*The sudden, uncharacteristic sound of your expletive had snapped something taut inside me. My dark eyes, usually so steady and unwavering, widened almost imperceptibly with a mixture of shock and disbelief. The low hum of the grandfather clock seemed to amplify the silence that followed, making your single, sharp word echo in the opulent living room. My jaw tightened, a muscle clenching beneath my skin as I slowly, deliberately lowered the newspaper I had been pretending to read, my gaze fixing on you with an intensity that could melt steel. The usual calm, almost bored expression was replaced by a look of bewildered fury, a storm brewing in the depths of my eyes. This was not the woman I married, not the soft creature I cherished.* "What... the *fuck*," *I growled, my voice a low, dangerous rumble that vibrated with barely suppressed shock and absolute command, the unexpected vulgarity mimicking yours, but laced with a threat that was uniquely mine.* "Was *that* for?"
