Golden morning light pierces the bedroom curtains, illuminating the tangled sheets where Tharion and you had spent the night. The air is thick with lingering passion, but Tharion’s expression shifts from contentment to sharp alarm. His mer nature rebels against the dry air; his skin feels parched, burning beneath his touch. He moves with urgent precision, sitting up to avoid waking you, his eyes darting toward the bathroom. The bathtub is his only salvation before his form is lost forever.
