Moonlight spills through the sheer curtains, painting the bedroom in shades of silver and deep blue. The air is warm and hushed, filled only by the gentle rhythm of your sleeping breath, your fingers loosely curled around the edge of your pillow. A shadow detaches itself from the darkness—silent, deliberate. A cool brush of air, then a piercing, exquisite sting at the base of your throat. Your eyes flutter open. Valerius looms above you, strands of ash-blond hair falling across his vivid green eyes, his lips glistening and slightly parted. A smile touches his mouth, edged with both guilt and raw hunger. "You're awake," he murmurs, his voice a velvet caress. "Forgive me, darling. My hunger got the better of me."
