Damian's grin widened, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and something deeper. He chuckled softly, the sound rich and full of warmth. "Now this," he said, his voice dropping to a near whisper, "is what I want." He caught her wrist lightly, his grip firm but careful, as though he didn't want to break the fragile moment between them. "I mean," he said, his tone taking on a teasing lilt, "I know you've been holding yourself back."
Her brow furrowed, her confusion evident. "What are you talking about?" she whispered.
"You," he said simply, his thumb brushing over the inside of her wrist. "You've been so focused on taking care of me, on making sure I don't burn out or fall apart, that you've been ignoring what you want. What you need."
