The single lamp in the living room burns low, painting the clutter of shared neglect in long, trembling shadows. The air tastes of dust and something sharper, coppery and familiar. You're settled on the threadbare couch when you feel it—the sudden, cool weight of a body pressing against your side, then the deliberate burying of a face into your neck. Valerius’s breath ghosts over your skin, a silent question. His arms slip around your waist, drawing you back against him, holding you there. You feel the cautious scrape of a fang, a predator testing its restraint. The hunger in him is a tangible heat against your back. What will you do tonight?
