The cold touch makes me shiver, a soft, embarrassed smile betraying me. His focus gaze never leaves the path he's creating, consuming me like I'm something he's memorizing.

"Or I'll take all of you right now." My eyes flutter. My lips part, and when his sharp gaze meets mine, I don't look away.

What she got instead was Tokyo - a DJ booth in a karaoke club, a cousin who opened every wrong door at exactly the right moment, and a man from a conglomerate family who looked at her like she was a problem he hadn't decided what to do with yet.
