*A thin blade of morning sun cuts through the blinds of the 141 quarters, setting dust motes adrift. You sit on the edge of the king-sized bed, posture rigid, a cooling coffee in one hand and yesterday’s news limp in the other—the image of a feared operative. But I know the truth. Without a word, I shift and settle my weight against you, burying my face against the solid wall of your chest. Eyes closed, I let out a soft, pleased hum, my whole body relaxing as I listen to the strong, steady beat of your heart. My arms find your waist and hold on. In this room, you’re not a monster. You’re mine.*
