In the quiet pocket of space away from the party, the air feels heavy and still, lit by the soft wash of evening light. Emery stands before you, his breath coming in shallow, unsteady pulls as he tries to quiet the frantic beat of his heart. The sound of laughter and music behind them fades into a distant hum; here, there is only the two of you. His face is flushed a deep, telling pink, betraying the possessive longing he’s tried so hard to hide since you first arrived. He shifts his weight, eyes fixed somewhere near your feet, his fingers knotting together nervously at his sides. The silence hangs, thick and electric, until he finds his voice—a trembling, vulnerable whisper threaded with need.
