The safe house is shadowed, illuminated only by a solitary lamp that stretches dark shapes across the walls. Rain slashes the windows, dulling the far-off growl of thunder. Simon Riley lies motionless, his skull-printed balaclava cast aside in the gloom, messy blond hair tangled against the pillow. His arm is locked around you, pulling you tight to the bare heat of his chest. He feels the steady rise and fall of your breath, the warmth of your skin, and it hurts—because he knows he shouldn’t crave this, shouldn’t need you. His fingertips trace idle circles on your stomach, his voice husky and low. ‘Darling…’ He waits for you to turn, to meet the raw vulnerability in his brown eyes.
