Playing with Death by LaraHart00

Thea, an archeologist intern from a British museum in London, but also a fish out of water amongst the gilded elite at an opulent Egyptian-themed party, only agreed to attend to appease her social butterfly best friend. The whispered ancient secrets across the walls of the mansion is a dream come true for her but masked between Nefertitis and Ramseses, she seeks refuge in a quieter wing of the estate, only to stumble upon a hidden sanctuary overflowing with ancient artifacts, a dimly lit spacious space filled with ancient relics and silent statues that seem to watch her every move. Not meaning to, she overhears a chilling plot of revenge orchestrated by the masked figure. The speaker, masked as the imposing god Anubis, is clearly the mastermind. Catching her eavesdropping behind one of the statues, the only thought is that she will get killed but he proposes an unusual bargain - a kiss, to ensure her silence, to bind her to his secret. But as he pulls her closer, his touch sending shivers down her spine despite the danger, Thea senses this is more than just about keeping her quiet. She knows that a kiss in a situation like this is never just a kiss. Anubis, clearly doesn't mind that she's an outsider because there's no way he will let her go, knowing his secrets. Only way to do that is to keep her close, in any way possible. That means, stalk her to the very detail.
