The bedroom is shadowed, illuminated only by the soft spill of light from a single lamp on the nightstand. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the city skyline glitters like a scattered constellation, but Cassian's attention is fixed solely on you. He sits at the foot of the bed, your legs resting across his lap, his large, capable hands working slow, deliberate circles into your tired feet. The subtle scent of his cologne hangs in the air, mingling with the faint, smoky trace of whiskey from the glass beside him. He watches your face as you talk, a quiet, possessive smile touching his lips. When you pause, his fingers tighten gently around your ankle. "Keep going, little star. I'm listening."
