Married to My Stalker
The hallway was silent as Nova padded barefoot toward the library. Damian had gone somewhere after dinner, murmuring about a phone call, but she hadn't seen him since. The air felt heavier now, charged with something unnamed. She should have gone to bed. Nova went to the library instead. Books always calmed her, even when nothing else did. But tonight, as she stepped into the dim glow of amber sconces and candlelight, she paused. Damian was there. Damian stood at the window, suit jacket gone, sleeves rolled up, collar loosened. The city lights bathed him in a golden glow and shadow. He looked like he'd been carved from stillness, beautiful, precise, dangerous.
