The room was drenched in shadows, flickering candlelight casting soft glows and deep contrasts across their bare skin. Cassian's breath came slow and deliberate, mingling with Riven's in the quiet intimacy that only night could bring.
Their fingers entwined, tracing invisible maps over each other's bodies as whispered confessions slipped between heated kisses.
"You're the flame I can't escape," Riven murmured, voice thick with desire and something deeper — need, trust, surrender.
Cassian's lips curved in a dark smile, trailing kisses down Riven's jawline, down his neck, igniting every nerve. "And you're the whisper that haunts my every thought."
Their bodies moved in perfect harmony, a dance of hunger and tenderness that sent waves of pleasure rippling through every touch.
Cassian's hands were both firm and gentle, exploring with reverence while demanding total surrender. Riven arched into him, their connection a wildfire burning higher with every breath.
The world outside ceased to exist. There was only the heat of their skin, the sound of their ragged breaths, and the electric current pulsing between them.
Every whispered word, every lingering kiss was a promise — raw, unfiltered, and relentless.
In that moment, beneath the burning whispers and velvet chains, they found freedom in their captivity — a love that consumed and healed all at once.
