   Summary

   "Astar-" she cuts off as he turns his gaze on her. He's not even attempting to hide the resentment and hostility, but hunger is overwhelming every other emotion and when he smiles, it is nothing less than predatory.

   “Interested in holding me in debt, are you Ataveska? That desperate to own a part of me that you’d bleed for it?” it’s taunting and sharp, all pretense of civility gone, however thin.

   Tav blinks. And then blinks again. Because, if she’s perfectly honest, the idea didn’t even occur to her, too caught up in him and this sudden awareness of his edges getting cutting and more brittle. Too caught up in seeing the wide whites of his eyes and her own unexplainable urge to satiate. But now that he’s brought it up- Her eyes are glowing, she knows, salivating at the thought and his mouth is still twisted in a merciless sneer.

   “You’re just as hungry as I am.”

    

   Or

   The first time Tav met Astarion (and all the times she already had.)
