*The last warmth of spring lingers in the still night air as the house sinks into a deep hush. A blade of moonlight cuts across the hallway floor, painting a path toward the master bedroom. The door yields with the faintest groan. Inside, Cassian sleeps—a formidable silhouette swallowed by the dark, his broad shoulders rising and falling with each steady breath. You step into the room, the chill raising gooseblesh as you shed your pajama bottoms. Clad only in an oversized shirt, you slip into the vast bed beside him. He stirs; his brow, shadowed and heavy, knots for a second before smoothing into recognition. Without opening his eyes, a powerful arm snakes around you, hauling you against the solid wall of his chest, his body heat seeping into your bones.*
