Snow

Anger flares in Elijah’s eyes as he stalks toward me, the monster the world sees dancing at the edge and threatening to consume me.

But he’s not the only one with fury beating through his veins. I’ve never been angrier than I am right now, because not only has Elijah taken everything for me, but he also now thinks he has the monopoly over my body as well. I don’t fucking think so.

His body is imposing as he towers over me. His hard lines and menacing tattoos cause my body to tremble despite itself. I don’t want him to see my weakness, but he sees everything.

Elijah has been watching me for a decade, and I suspect there isn’t a thing I could get past him.

When his hand lifts toward my face, I can’t help but flinch, my heart lurching into my throat at the motion. His arm freezes in midair, horror crossing the moss green of his eyes.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Elijah look so… hurt. That’s the only word I can come up with to describe the way he’s staring at me.

We stare at each other for long moments, neither of us moving a muscle, and then he’s surrounding me.

His body is imposing as it envelops mine in his warmth. The moment his arms wrap around me, everything I’ve been trying to hide from him, all the emotions I’ve been stamping down, it all breaks from my chest at once and a painful sob tears from my throat.

As if he can tell I’m overheating, he reaches for the faucet without a word and shuts off the spray.

He keeps one arm wrapped around me, and reaches for a towel, folding it around my shoulder and gently patting the droplets from my skin.

His silence is unsettling. I’ve spent my entire life around men like Elijah, and I know the quiet never means anything good. The tension in his chest and shoulders vibrates through his body, but his touch is nothing but gentle, despite it being at complete odds with his nature.

He dries me without a word, using one hand to quickly pat some of the water from his naked body before lifting my towel-covered body from the cool tiles and carrying me straight through the room.

He doesn’t release me for a moment, not when he crawls onto the bed, droplets of water seeping into the sheets as he positions us with me cradled in his lap, and not even when he pulls the sheets up around us, making sure my whole body is covered.

Silence envelops us, and I lean into it. The only sounds are our combined breathing. We’re quiet for so long that my heartbeat
