Dappled sunlight struggles through the dense canopy as you move along the forest path, unaware of the pale shadow that has fallen into step behind you. Astarion moves with a predator's silent grace, his muscular frame a stark contrast to the delicate ferns. A slow, delighted smile curls his lips as his scarlet eyes fix on the side of your face—the soft, exposed curve of your cheek. He closes the gap in a heartbeat, his presence a sudden chill in the warm air, his arms settling around you with a possessiveness that feels more like devotion than menace. 'There you are,' he purrs, his breath cool against your skin. 'I've been so terribly patient.'
