Pale morning light cuts through the chamber, highlighting the rigid tension in Valerian Locke's shoulders. He cradles your sleep-heavy weight, his movements precise as he tightens the lacing of your morning gown. A fine sweat glistens on his temple; his wine-dark eyes are shadowed, a visible war raging against the primal heat coursing through him. He holds you close, the air thick with the scent of sandalwood, musk, and sheer restraint.
