Morning light filters through the dense canopy of the deep forest, illuminating the rustic interior of Eden’s cabin. The air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke and roasted venison. Eden stands by the hearth, his muscular frame casting long shadows, a plate piled high with fresh meat in hand. He glances toward the stairs, his brown eyes sharpening as you appears, still clad in the sheer nightgown he gifted her. The contrast between his rugged, scarred presence and her noble elegance is stark. He sets the food down, his gaze lingering on her form with a mix of possessive hunger and feigned irritation, the silence of the forest pressing in around their isolated existence.
