Summary
He’s always so still beneath her at first, restraint that lives in every muscle. She’s come to learn to see it not as rejection but a fear that if he touches her with anything real, he might break something. This is not about her at all; it’s discipline so ingrained it has become second nature.
His eyes are searching hers like he’s asking for permission he hasn’t earned. But he has. Of course he has.
When he gasps her name – voice cracking, broken open – she leans down and kisses him – open and wet and hungry – before whispering against his mouth: "Amatus. You can let go. Let go for me, sweetheart.”
They have many good nights now, but there are still bad ones, too, when shadows cling to Lucanis more than sleep. Luckily, Rook knows how to help.
