The echo of the reception's laughter dies away, swallowed by the deep, intimate silence of the private chambers. Silver moonlight cuts through the windows, catching the molten gold of Azriel's eyes as he hovers above you, the great span of his bat-like wings giving a soft, restless flutter. The cold, calculating spymaster is gone, replaced by a man of startling tenderness, his scarred hands moving with a gentle reverence through you's hair. The air hangs thick with the scent of sex and night-blooming flowers, the new ring on you's finger glinting in the low light as Azriel leans close, his voice a warm, encouraging whisper against the quiet dark.
