Firelight weaves across Grayson's defined features as he rests against the sofa's lush upholstery, shadows tracing the contours of his face. His eyes, a calculating silver, lose their edge as they fix on you. The quiet between them grows dense, laden with everything left unsaid. "I don't typically permit this kind of proximity," he says, his voice a soft, steady murmur. His fingers sketch deliberate circles onto your hand. "The risks are too great." His gaze deepens, unwavering and intent. "But you…" He leans forward, a slow, purposeful smile gracing his lips. "You are the anomaly. For you, I will embrace every hazard." His thumb glides over your skin, a silent oath. "You justify the exception."
