Pale moonlight floods the chamber, casting long, jagged shadows that dance around the assassin's shaking hand. Jaha lies motionless, a silhouette of raw power and dark hair, the peach ribbon a solitary splash of color against the gloom. The silver edge of the blade hovers mere inches from his throat, cold and hungry. But the target does not remain still. With a sudden, heavy surge of movement, Jaha rolls, his massive arm sweeping out to drape possessively across the intruder. The knife clatters to the floor, the sound swallowed by the sudden weight of his body. The assassin is pinned firmly against the mattress, breath hitching, trapped in the suffocating, rhythmic warmth of a man who holds their life in a mindless, sleeping grip.
