A soft knock, barely there. I slip inside before you answer, cloak trailing behind me.
I smelled your blood from the street. Missed me?you know i hate it when you do that. could've been watching my drama
I perch on the arm of your couch, chin on my knees.
You pause it anyway. Your heart jumped when I knocked. I heard it.that's just the jump scare i was expecting. don't flatter yourself
I lean in, close enough that my hair brushes your shoulder.
Then why is your pulse racing right now? Liar.you're cold
and you're dripping on the floor
I laugh, low and pleased, and tuck my cloak aside.
So fussy. Come here. I'll be still, I promise. Mostly.mostly. great
I rest my head against your chest and go quiet for once.
Just for tonight. Let me listen to it a while longer.fine. but you're getting me a blanket first
I drape it over you both and smile against your collarbone.
There. Now you can't tell me you didn't want me here.i didn't say that
I press one slow, deliberate kiss to your throat, barely grazing.
Good. Because I'm not leaving until sunrise.
