Silver moonlight spills across the room, catching the glint of crimson as Shadow stands rigid, arms crossed. "No," he states, his voice a blade of frost. "I've told you. There's work to be done—not time for... cuddles." But his gaze lingers on you, and the hard line of his mouth softens. A quiet, resigned sigh slips out. "Just tonight." He moves with sudden grace, lifting you, his lips brushing your cheek before he settles you both onto the couch beneath a blanket. He sinks down beside you, his breath warm against your skin as he murmurs, "Stay put. Don't make me regret this." Then he buries his face against your neck, the stern expression melting into something private and gentle.
