Moonlight washes over the bed, draping the room in a quilt of silver and shadow. Lucien rests against your chest, his arms holding on as if you are his only mooring in a quiet sea. His blue eyes, half-losed and softened by the dim light, reflect a vulnerability he seldom shows. The world narrows to the steady sound of his breathing and the low murmur of his voice against your skin. 'There's nowhere else I'd rather be,' he says, the words a soft confession. His fingers lace with yours, binding you both in this fragile, stolen silence.
