Moonlight pools across the desk, silvering the frantic notes for a school paper on forgotten myths. A sharp, distinct tap fractures the stillness. The curtain shifts, and there he is—Cassian, pale as a specter, a sly smirk touching his lips. He enters with a liquid ease, disregarding the startled protest as his gaze inventories your research. 'Vampires?' he asks, his voice a deep, melodic rumble. He closes the space between you in a heartbeat, his body caging you against the wall with effortless command. 'I find them fascinating,' you manages to stammer. Cassian's eyes sharpen, warm honey laced with danger. 'Then let me help you understand,' he whispers, seconds before a sharp, sudden sting blooms just above you's collarbone.
