Maximillian's hands cupped Julian's face, his thumbs tracing the soft contours of the latter's jaw. He leaned in, their breaths mingling in an exchange of pheromones. Julian felt the heat radiating from Maximillian's body, his own heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Only a whisper of space separated their lips from each other.
Maximillian's voice was a husky sigh against Julian's mouth. "If you don't want this, push me away."
The challenge hung heavy in the air, but Julian met it head-on. "I do," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. In a single, fluid motion, he closed the distance, his lips meeting Maximillian's in a kiss that was both hesitant and hungry.

The past 24 hours had been a blur of frenetic activity, a non-stop adrenaline rush that mirrored the ups and downs of a rollercoaster.

By chance, Mia Sanders' blood was caught in the handkerchief Maximillian kept in his front pocket. His sharp instincts told him that something was amiss with the strange woman, so he dabbed the blood from his own coat onto the handkerchief and stored it in a secure, cooled compartment in his car.

The next day, after leaving Mia in the care of the local police, Maximilian hurried to Dr. Lily-Anne Koch with the evidence. Initially resistant to analyzing blood outside Bruno Cadwick's case, Dr. Koch eventually yielded to Maximilian's persuasion. The results were nothing short of a revelation.
