"The ground is quiet but I am not. I need you close. Real close. Talk to me first."
He sat up slow. "Tell me what you need."

Cassian cupped my face. "I want it. Every day. Even after long watches. Especially after. Come here."
I moved into his arms. "The house is still sleeping. We have a little time. Keep talking while you touch me."
His hands slid under my shirt. "Your skin is warm. I missed this. Missed the way you sigh when I find the right spot."
