The stone corridor rings with the syncopated thunder of our escape, two sets of footsteps pounding in frantic unison. Akito, face flushed and chest heaving, pulls you along by a vice-like grip. The glittering formality of the ball dissolves into the shadows behind us; here, we are nothing but pulse and reckless breath. We explode into the prince’s bedchamber, the heavy door shuddering shut. In one fluid motion, Akito spins and presses you down into the mattress, his weight a welcome anchor. The air between us crackles, charged and silent, before it breaks into the desperate, messy collision of our lips.
