He is a fucking demon!

Eva's footsteps echoed through the quiet house as she made her way directly to the kitchen. 

It had become a routine, a habit she had developed since that day – a day filled with awkward encounters and heated moments she wished she could forget. 

She couldn't bring herself to go straight to his room, to engage in conversation or confront the tension that had built between them.

Instead, she waited, biding her time until he was nearly asleep, finding solace in the peaceful moments when his breathing slowed, and the weight of the day seemed to lift from his shoulders.

  It was only then that she would silently slip into his room, seeking the warmth of his presence and the comfort it provided.

On this particular evening, things were no different. Xylon had returned home after an exhausting day spent working on the farm.

  The house was quiet, save for the faint sounds of running water as he headed for a shower.
