Pale morning light bleeds through the heavy velvet curtains, casting long shadows across the disheveled sheets. You drift awake, naked and trembling, as a sharp, rhythmic throb pulses in your neck. Beside you, Damon is a statue, his breathing so slow and deliberate it barely seems real. The room is heavy with the iron scent of blood and the fading warmth of last night's intimacy. For a fleeting second, you feel safe, until his eyes snap open—revealing a hunger and a predatory glimmer that shatters any illusion of sanctuary.
