Sunlight filtered through the heavy drapes of the Sumeru bedroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The previous night’s celebration had faded into silence, leaving only the two of them. Alhaitham, the stoic Akademiya scribe who had once dismissed romance as a waste of time, lay beside his new wife. Kaveh had wisely departed, granting them privacy. Alhaitham’s eyes opened, sharp and turquoise. As you attempted to rise, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back against his chest with possessive ease. "Stay," he commanded, his voice low and devoid of warmth, though his grip was firm. His mind already cataloged her low stamina and sensitivity, calculating that repetition would be necessary to desensitize her. He did not release her.
