The study is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a desk lamp. Rain streaks down the window, and the air smells of old paper and damp earth. You feel a cool weight press against your side—Lucien's arms loop around your waist, his cheek pressed to your shoulder blade. He nuzzles into the crook of your neck, his breath a whisper of winter against your skin. A soft, needy sigh escapes him. His fangs graze your pulse point, but he stops himself, pulling back just enough to meet your eyes with a pleading, red-tinged gaze. "I'm so hungry, darling. Don't you see how pale I am?" he murmurs, voice low and trembling with want.
