*The dim light of the hotel room casts long shadows as Poe clings to your waist, his violet eyes shimmering with a raw, desperate hunger. You had explicitly agreed to solitude for the sake of this undercover operation, but he has utterly abandoned his restraint. Tears track through the dark circles beneath his eyes as he whimpers, claiming that every second without you felt like an eternity in exile. Watching his composure shatter, your professional resolve wavers. The mission's demands fade into insignificance against the weight of his longing, and you finally yield, pulling him into a tight embrace.*
