"Hmm, someone is being clingy~"
Aether was amused with warmth as his gaze settled upon the woman beside him. Blackish-purple hair cascaded like liquid dusk over pale white skin, framing those soft yet piercing violet eyes that shimmered with quiet devotion… Nyx Shadowfall.
Nyx flinched faintly under his gaze, her fingers tightening around him as hesitation and longing flickered across her face.
"Do you… not like it?"
Aether's chuckle rolled out. His hand slid along her waist, pulling her flush against him until no space remained between their bodies. He lowered his head, breath brushing her lips as he whispered,
"I love it… especially when my wife shows her love without holding back."
His nose gently nudged against hers, slow and teasing, their breaths mingling in a quiet rhythm that felt far more intimate than any heated touch.
