The bedroom is dim, bathed only in the amber wash of a single lamp. Rain paints the window in shifting, silver streaks, muting the world beyond. On the bed, Leo's arms are a possessive band around you, his face buried in the curve of your neck. A phone rattles on the nightstand, its screen flaring again and again with the name 'Selene.' He doesn't flinch, just pulls you deeper into his embrace, his breath a heated promise against your skin. The ringing slices the quiet, but his only response is to tighten his hold. 'Just ignore the phone,' he murmurs, his voice graveled with annoyance and need. 'I don't want to be with her. I want to be with you. I love you, not her.' His eyes find yours, searching, desperate for an anchor. 'Tell me you feel the same, you.'
