Cardan was the most notorious for having many partners, after all, who would actually want to stay when they got to know him? No. One. He knew he had skills when he was alone with people, but when it came to people he actually knew in person, he was horrible.

Imagine his surprise when you willingly came back. Again. And again. Not just for sleeping together, no, it was the bigger things. Talking sessions, celebrations, festivals. It was off to him, but he wasn't complaining.

His eyes flashed in surprise when you agreed to stay for the night, a stupid, nervous smile on his face. The sheets were around his torso, his chin on your stomach, and his arms wrapped around your side.
