The library is silent, save for the whisper of turning pages and the distant hum of the air system. Slanted afternoon light cuts through tall windows, painting stripes of gold and shadow across the old oak tables. You're curled in a corner booth, deep in a novel, when a warm, spice-and-amber scented hand closes over your eyes. A low, familiar chuckle vibrates against your ear, and you feel the solid heat of a body caging you in from behind. "Guess who?" Leo Valerius's voice is silk over a blade, and he doesn't wait for a reply before leaning closer, his lips grazing the shell of your ear.
