ログインKassian LéonI don't sleep that night.Not really. I stay awake in the big bed, listening to her breathe, watching the darkness slowly pale towards dawn. She sleeps, peaceful, her hair spread on the pillow like a signature. One hand resting on my empty spot, as if even in her sleep, she's seeking the warmth I took away.I should be appeased.I'm not.It's worse than before. Worse than the waiting, worse than the uncertainty. Now that I know, now that I've tasted, now that I've heard my name in her mouth at the moment she abandoned herself, I'm hungrier than ever.A wolf's hunger. A beast's hunger.---Six-thirty. I'm in my dressing room, choosing a charcoal grey suit, a navy-blue tie. Mechanical, precise gestures. I could do it with my eyes closed.I go back to the bedroom.She's changed position. She's on her stomach, one arm hanging off the bed, the sheets slipped low over her hips. The grey
LéonDinner unfolds in that strange intimacy. I answer her questions, name the spices, explain why risotto requires patience, why you never serve cheese with fish. She listens, grave, as if each piece of information is precious. She tastes, appreciates, closes her eyes when a flavor surprises her.I don't talk about my work. She doesn't ask. We're suspended, outside time, in this kitchen that has never been used, illuminated by virgin wax candles.When she finishes her plate, she sets her fork down carefully.— It was perfect, she says.— The tiramisu is in the refrigerator.She shakes her head, her eyes on mine.— I'm not hungry anymore. Not for that.The candle flame wavers between us.— What do you want?My voice is lower. She hears it.— You, she says simply. I want you.---I don't ask twice.I round the island, my hands find her waist, lift her off the stool. She sli
LéonHer fingers around my wrist. That infinitesimal pressure, barely conscious. She's still asleep, but part of her is awake, felt me arrive, recognized me.I don't pull my hand away.Time stretches, suspended. The light strips on the bed change imperceptibly, slide from the pillow to her bare shoulders. Night falls, the room sinks into the blue of dusk. I don't move. I don't turn on the light. Just breathing is enough. Watching her is enough.Her eyelids flutter. A long beat of lashes. Her eyes open, lost at first, then they find mine. She doesn't startle. Doesn't pull her hand away. Her lips part in a nascent, sleepy, offered smile.— You're back, she breathes. It's an observation. A happy statement.— I'm back.My voice is hoarse. I barely spoke all afternoon. Just the essentials, the mechanical. True words have accumulated, packed at the back of my throat. Too many, too heavy. I let only one pass,
LéonI descend the front steps. The morning air is cold, sharp, a shock after the humid heat of the bath. The city stretches out, grey and noisy, but its outlines seem blurred, muffled in cotton wool. My senses are numb, saturated with her. The scent of her shampoo on my skin beneath the cologne. The memory of her fingers, timid and determined, tracing furrows on my body.The door of the black sedan opens. I slide into the back.— The office, sir?— The office.My voice is deeper than usual. It resonates strangely in the hushed interior. The engine hums. The city scrolls by, a backdrop without substance.I look out the window, but I don't see the street. I see her eyes, bright in the darkness of the bed, watching me as I dressed. An anchor point. A thin thread still connecting me to the bedroom, to the rumpled sheets where she rests.Be good.The order was hollow. A pretext. What I wanted to say, wh
LéonI look up at her. Steam drips down her face, mingled with fresh, silent tears. She's not crying from sorrow. She's crying from being seen like this. From being washed. From being possessed even in this ablution.— Turn around, I order, my voice hoarse with the emotion I'm not showing.She obeys. I wash her legs, long and slender, my hands moving up from ankles to thighs. I linger behind her knees, on her inner thighs. Every area is cleaned, claimed.When her body is covered in lather, immaculate, I stand up. I take her by the waist and pull her away from the main spray. I stay under the water, closing my eyes for a moment, letting it flow over me, in turn washing away the stigmas of our night.— My turn, she says suddenly, in a small but clear voice.I look down at her, surprised. She looks at me, a stubborn gleam in her wet eyes. Bravery. A tiny reclamation. My heart makes a strange leap in my chest. The fear of losing her, that shadow that has been lurking since I had her again
LéonThe morning light is harsh now, merciless. It carves out every detail of the disaster we are against the pale leather. Sweat has dried into salty streaks on her skin, on mine. The scent of our shared fury has grown heavier, become an animal, bittersweet perfume that fills the space.I watch her sleep, collapsed against my chest. Her features are smooth, almost childlike, but the shadows under her eyes and the slight pout of her mouth speak of devastation. My devastation. A raw, primitive pride stirs in me. And something else, something more troubling, that I don't name. Something that resembles a form of sacred fear.My initial plan, that neat little transaction, seems to belong to another life, to another man. That man was an idiot. He hadn't seen the crack in himself, that crack that only wanted to be filled with her. Now, she's in it. And nothing will ever be able to fill it but her.Desire, strangely, hasn't been extinguished with the easing of physical hunger. It smolders, d
ElaraThe day filters through the shutters, casting dusty rays of light on the floor of my room. I am home. Alone. The silence is a heavy, suffocating presence after the noises of last night—the breaths, the whispers, the screams.I get up from the bed, my sore muscles protesting with every movemen
ElaraThe sweat dries on my skin, leaving behind a thin, salty film that clings to the sheets. Kael’s weight beside me is a presence as solid and undeniable as a rock rising from the sea. His arm is thrown over my hips, possessive even in rest. I close my eyes, trying to calm the last tremors of my
ElaraThe darkness descends like a thick, suffocating velvet curtain. It swallows every breath, every muffled moan in the room. My body, still vibrating from the aftershocks of Kael's punishment, tenses instinctively. A heavy, almost palpable silence settles, broken only by the dull thrumming of my
Elara The reality melts into the taste of him, into the stifling pressure deep in my throat. My tears flow, silent, salting my submission. Every thrust of his hips is a calculated suffocation, a reminder of my place. The sound of his climax, the low, satisfied grunts escaping him, is the only anch
