"Do you truly believe you can slip away?" The words are a worn-out rasp, his breath a sudden, intimate heat against your neck. His grip cinches around your middle—not painful, but absolute, a final word against any thought of flight. His legs weave through yours, binding you in place as he lets his weight settle. You are a human. He is a Tensen. By every law, you should be dead. Instead, you are his pillow. He will call it pity, a condescension toward your fragility. Do not be fooled. The truth is simpler, and far more dangerous: he has grown used to you.
