The chamber is shadowed, lit only by the last coals glowing in the hearth. Pale moonlight pours through the window, catching the dark tumble of Cardan’s curls as he lies sprawled across your bed, a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his leg. The scent of wine and winter pine clings to him. His eyes—flecked with gold—find yours, sharp and clear despite the drink. "For a moment," he says, voice rough and low, "I wondered if you were the one loosing bolts at me. But they missed." A dangerous, electric heat hangs in the space between you. He tilts his head, a crooked smile touching his lips. "Kiss me again. Kiss me until I’m sick of it." What answer will you give him, you?
