He’d built this place, a bastion of order and peace, and now this… intrusion. He envisioned the chaos she would bring, the inevitable mess, the disregard for his carefully cultivated aesthetic. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the pulsing in his temples.

"Get off my property," he finally snapped, his voice a low growl. The woman flinched, and he felt a brief, dark thrill.
