Silas stood in the doorway, backlit by the hallway light in a way that made him look almost ethereal. He was dressed casually....dark jeans and a fitted black shirt that showed off his lean, muscular build. His dark hair was slightly mussed like he'd been running his hands through it, and his eyes.....those impossibly dark eyes....found Eve immediately.
Then his gaze shifted to Maya, and Eve watched her friend literally forget how to breathe.
Maya's mouth opened slightly, her eyes going wide, her entire body going still in that way people did when confronted with something so beautiful their brain temporarily short-circuited.
Silas smiled....that gentle, knowing smile that always made Eve's heart skip....and moved into the room with that fluid grace that marked him as definitely not human.
"Eve," he said, his voice warm with affection. "I've been looking for you. You weren't in the bedroom when I came back with breakfast."
