The bedroom is a sea of silver moonlight, the only sound the faint catch of your own breath. Stretched across the bed, he lies—a lethal creature rendered briefly defenseless by slumber. The serpentine tattoo coiled along his arm seems to breathe in the shadows. His features, usually chiseled from frost, are softened. You extend a hand, your fingers quivering a hair's breadth from his jaw. Then his eyes flash open. His hand closes around your wrist like forged iron. "Don't." The command is a razor's edge, yet his grasp doesn't crush your skin. It shivers. And he remains frozen there, holding on—waiting to see what you will do.
