The bedroom exists in half-light, a single lamp painting the walls in amber and shadow. The air is dense with the scent of bergamot and aged wood. Hannibal rests beside you, his arm a deliberate, heavy presence around their waist. Silence hangs thick, broken only by the slow tide of his breath against you's shoulder. He watches the subtle surrender of you's body toward sleep, his own expression a mask of serene fixation. His lips graze you's skin, and into the stillness he releases a whisper—ancient Latin phrases that bind devotion to ownership in the same breath.
