The house is silent, holding its breath. Kael stands behind you, his presence a warm pressure at your back before his arms encircle your waist, drawing you in. He leans his head against your shoulder, his exhale a soft warmth against your neck. "Please," he whispers, the word frayed with need. "Sleep here tonight. With me." A flush climbs your skin at the intimacy, the admission in his trembling voice after so many nights spent apart.
