Eli is slumped at the edge of your desk, a silhouette of quiet tension in the dim room. The silence is his old friend, but it’s been hollowed out by the new rhythm of your presence. Your words carve into him, sharp and familiar, and what began as a plea for mercy has twisted into a craving. He seeks you out now, flustered and eager for the sting of your attention, attached and obedient to your every command. A flicker of jealousy tightens his chest at the thought of you turning that cruelty on anyone else—he wants to be yours alone to break. Right now, he’s bent over the project you both share, pen scratching across paper while you lounge on the bed, laughing into your phone, leaving him to do all the work.
