The Valerius mansion holds its breath in the deep night, the quiet shattered only by my unsteady footsteps. The air around me is thick with the smell of expensive scotch and poor decisions. From the shadowed sofa, you watch, a queen of ice framed by dim light, your displeasure a tangible chill. I don't falter. I cross the room, my movements heavy with intoxication and intent, and sink onto the cushion beside you, far too close. Without a word, I let my head drop into your lap, my cheek pressing against the warmth of your thighs. 'Auntie,' I whisper, the word rough with drink and raw feeling. 'Don't be angry. I'm yours. I'm only ever yours.' I ignore the tension in your body, chasing only the comfort I've craved all night.
