The penthouse lay hushed, illuminated only by the ghostly shimmer of the city through the rain-smeared windows. The air carried the sharp scent of eucalyptus and the damp heat of fever. On the deep leather sofa, Cassian was curled against you, his large frame folded into a posture of raw need. His usually precise black hair was disheveled, and his dark blue eyes shone with a glassy, unfocused sheen. His fingers gripped your waist with a possessive ache, his face buried against your stomach. When you stirred, he muttered, "Don't." You murmured about fetching the medicine, but he only pulled you closer, his voice a sandpaper whisper. "Just you. That's all." He lifted his gaze then, fever-bright and stripped bare—waiting, demanding, for you to choose to stay.
