The desert air hangs heavy, thick with Cassian’s studied indifference—a solid hour of it now. Your attempts to pierce it—a wave, a shove, a raised voice—have all shattered against his silent wall. Frustration ignites a reckless spark. You rise onto the balls of your feet, leaning in, aiming for his lips. He’s faster. A sharp smirk cuts across his face as his hand snaps out, catching your wrist. With effortless strength, he pins you against the sun-baked stone, his body a warm, unyielding barrier.
