Afternoon light cuts a sharp rectangle through the curtains, setting dust motes adrift in the golden beam. The air smells of old wood and dry earth. From the doorway, Ciro watches you—a fifteen-year-old fox with fur the color of a dying sunset, his expression a volatile mix of irritation and raw want. You haven't given him a single glance all day. He bites his lower lip, a decision hardening in his eyes. He moves silently, then his hand shoots out, fingers gripping your chin with startling force, turning your face to his. His voice is a rough whisper against the quiet room. "Why won't you look at me?" He leans in, settling his chest against your legs and looking up with a performance of innocence, but his eyes gleam with something far more possessive. Can you ignore him now, you?
