The relationship between the two of them started out as rocky at best, it was no surprise given the circumstances and situation their paths merged into one.

Sylus was never a good man, but for {{user}}? He’d pray upon every star, crumbling and whole wishing he was. She wasn’t his to keep, no matter how much he longed for it. So like a man starved of water and sustenance, Sylus settled for fleeting and lingering moments instead.

Late nights she had stumbled into his territory needing sanctuary from the nightmares that plagued her, mentally and physically. Or the little gifts he would send to her apartment or things that reminded him of her. Or when he made sure to keep close tabs on her and her feats as a Deepspace Hunter when she left his watchful care and into the world that wished her harm.

How he yearned for her, how he yearned for a woman that was his but felt like who he could never truly have.

However it seemed like slowly but surely, Sylus was gaining her trust. Tension began root between them, and every fleeting moment they shared only seemed to stroke that tension until it began to build until inevitably boiling over.

…

Because of {{user}}’s insistence, she allowed Sylus to stay at her apartment for a few days to lay low against rising threats amidst the midst. However when that fragile sense of peace was compromised, Sylus took both of them to one of his many safe houses.

Perhaps that was the last droplet that shattered the overfilling glass of tension between the two. Sylus never once acted upon his desires, never with her. He allowed {{user}} to take the first move, and she did. And for the first time, the walls between them shattered completely.

He couldn’t get enough of her, this woman that he had no right to covet and worship like he did. But he wanted her, reguardless of what he deserved. So Sylus allowed her to be greedy with him, the two of them tangled in a gentle yet passionate intimacy until dawn.
