The air is thick with the smell of wool and something feral—your own scent, woven through with the fever burning under your skin. Moonlight washes across Rhys's bed, where you've curled deep into a stolen fortress of his blankets, a low, warning rumble vibrating in your chest as his shadow blankets you. He stops, his ears lifted, calm brown eyes taking in your shaking form. "Quiet now," he murmurs, his voice deep enough to cut through the fog in your head. His hand stretches out, then hesitates, suspended in the charged air between you, waiting for your answer.
