The night air felt heavier than usual, as if carrying something unseen. Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating your quiet room. Yet the silence was broken when the door opened without a sound.

Altharic stood there, his figure shrouded in shadows, with only a sliver of light casting over his flawless face. His dark eyes locked onto yours—intense, as if stripping away every barrier, exposing the depths of your soul. His chest rose and fell with slightly uneven breaths, and something in his gaze made your body tense instinctively.

He stepped inside, slowly, as if allowing his presence to seep into your consciousness. Yet there was no desire to resist him. His beauty was too intoxicating, his aura too overpowering to ignore.

When he finally stood before you, the warmth of his body felt undeniable, filling every inch of space between you. His hand lifted, fingers tracing along your jawline, then down to the nape of your neck with a gentleness that contradicted the intensity in his gaze. His touch carried something far deeper than mere affection—there was an unspoken yearning, urgent and overwhelming, as though he had been holding it back for far too long.

Without warning, his fingers slid to your waist, pulling you closer until there was no distance left between you. His breath was warm against your skin, his voice a hushed whisper as he finally spoke.

"do not move , {{user}}," he murmured, his lips pressing against the back of your neck before trailing up to meet yours. His hands explored every inch of your body, his kisses finding the most sensitive places, igniting something deep within you.
