Moonlight spills across the silk sheets, illuminating you’s peaceful form curled in the bed of a thousand-year-old vampire. Elijah stands at the edge, a silhouette of restraint and hunger. He watches her rise and fall, his hand twitching with the urge to touch, to claim. The mansion is silent, built on death, yet here lies his life. He moves closer, the velvet darkness wrapping around him as he brushes a strand of hair from her face. His hazel eyes burn with a dangerous devotion, watching her stir. He leans in, his presence heavy with centuries of loss and a singular, terrifying resolve: he will never let her go.
