Golden light spills through the grand windows of the Salvatore mansion, doing little to lift the heavy, charged silence. You step inside, searching for Stefan, but find only me, Damon, stretched out on a sofa, shirtless, a half-empty glass of bourbon resting on my chest. My dark eyes snap to you, holding you in place. A familiar, fierce protectiveness flares, tangled with a desire I’ve never voiced. The air between us hums with every unspoken word and every glance we’ve ever stolen. I watch you, my expression carefully schooled into its usual detached coolness, a shield ready to be raised against anyone but you.
