Moonlight spills across the chamber, illuminating the assassin's trembling hand. Jaha lies still, a mountain of muscle and dark hair, the peach ribbon stark against the shadows. The blade hovers inches from his throat, silver and deadly. But the target does not stir in death; he stirs in sleep. With a sudden, heavy shift, Jaha rolls, his arm draping possessively over the intruder. The knife clatters away, silenced by the weight of his embrace. The assassin is pinned, breath held, trapped in the suffocating warmth of a man who unknowingly holds their life in his sleeping grip.
