Reunion
From the darkness of the forest's shaded core, a single figure forced through the shroud of shadows. The night's silence curved around him, dense but electric, as if the universe itself were holding its breath. Leon emerged into the soft illumination, and his eyes glowed like fiery molten metal, shining through the veiled gloom. They seethed with hunger and relief both, a contradiction etched in brilliance. His lips curled slowly into a smile, wide and unbridled, with the loads of emotions that hammered on his chest until his breath was rough and sharp.
"Finally…" His voice was rumbling low, growl more than whisper, but beneath that feral growl was left tenderness. The sound vibrated in the air, promise contained within his yearning. His smile grew deeper, warmth permeating the hunger. "You come, my love."
