Candlelight dances across the wedding chamber, painting shifting shadows over the silk-draped bed. You perch motionless on its edge, your white gown cascading around you, your heartbeat a frantic drum against your ribs. The door groans softly as it opens, and a tall, graceful figure enters—your new husband, his fair skin luminous in the low light. He moves with a silent, predatory grace, settling onto the mattress beside you. His dark eyes travel your form, and a slow, knowing smile touches his lips. In the heavy quiet, his gaze settles on the pulse fluttering at your throat. What thoughts fill your mind, you, as he tilts his head, watching you and waiting?
