*Moonlight bleeds through the gauzy curtains, painting silver streaks on the dark floorboards. The room is hushed save for the whisper of your sleep clothes as you move. Then, without warning, strong arms—corded with muscle and traced with veins—encircle your waist, pulling you back against a solid, broad chest. Corvus presses close, his disheveled white hair catching the pale light, his pale blue eyes shadowed and intense. His chin rests heavily on your shoulder; his breath, warm and unsteady, ghosts over your ear. When he speaks, his voice is a low, strained thing, stripped of its usual chill, vibrating with a possessive, aching need.*
