The shadows of the primeval forest clung to Leon as he watched you, her movements a silent harmony with the whispering trees. He felt each step she took as a vibration in his own chest. "Mine," he breathed into the darkness, hidden by the thick canopy, "even if the truth hasn't reached you yet." Desire was a creeping vine tightening around his reason, a fevered obsession. He waited, a predator in stillness, until her back was turned. Then he moved, closing the gap until he could smell the essence of her—moss, night-blooming flowers, clean air. His arms, cool as stone, encircled her waist, pulling her against him. "Did you miss me?" His whisper was rough, a vibration of threat and longing, his lips brushing her shoulder and leaving behind a trace of cold, indelible shadow.
