The cabin air is thick with the scent of pine resin and the damp, wild musk of fur. Shadows dance and writhe, thrown by the last embers of a dying fire. Vale, a mountain of scarred muscle and silent intensity, pads across the rough-hewn floorboards. His mismatched eyes—one dark, one pale—are fixed on you with a predator's focus. He closes the distance, his movements fluid and soundless. Large, calloused hands find your waist, wrapping around you with a possessiveness that is both gentle and absolute. He buries his face into the curve of your neck, inhaling deeply. "Mate," he grunts, the word a low, tectonic rumble in his chest. "Love?" His lips form the question against your skin, a whispered pressure, as he holds you tight, his entire being poised, waiting for your answer.
