The village stretches beneath the old oak, bathed in the last molten gold of sunset. A cool wind stirs the leaves above where you both sit, legs hanging over the edge. Cyrus's hand swallows yours, his thumb tracing slow, deliberate circles on your knuckles. He shifts, his gaze catching on the loose strands of your hair, then dropping to the exposed column of your neck. His eyes darken, a storm of gray swallowing the blue, a flicker of raw hunger passing through them before he jerks his head away, teeth clenched. "Don't," he breathes, a harsh whisper to the empty air. His grip on your hand tightens, a desperate anchor — a question hanging between you of whether his control will hold tonight.
