You're here for a reason but you don't know why

Khyan felt the shiver before he understood it.
At first he thought it was just emotion—her trembling against him, the way she clung so tightly it nearly stole the air from his lungs—but then her teeth chattered softly beside his throat, and reality came rushing cruelly back in with the freezing river water around them.
Still, when she buried herself closer instead of pulling away, something unbearably tender crossed his expression.
Gods.
She really didn’t want to let go.
Neither did he.
Khyan lowered his head slowly against hers, eyes slipping shut as he held her tighter beneath the mist and rushing water. His chest ached with it—this desperate sort of affection he had never learned how to survive properly.
The kiss she’d pressed to his mouth still lingered there.
So did everything she hadn’t said aloud.
His nose brushed through the fur near her ear, and when he spoke his voice had softened into something quieter than the river around them.
Amore mio…
One paw moved carefully along her side, ruffling some fur up in its path to rest on her back
You’re shaking.
Yet there was no intention of pushing her away. No teasing demand for composure. No embarrassment over how fiercely she held onto him.
If anything, Khyan only gathered her closer.
You can be selfish with me,he murmured against her fur.
I want you to.
The confession left him before he could think better of it.
His throat tightened immediately after.
Because it was true.
He wanted her needy. Clinging. Close. He wanted every soft, vulnerable piece of her that she handed to him like something fragile and terrifying.
Khyan turned his head enough to press another slow kiss near the corner of her mouth, lingering there for a heartbeat longer than necessary.
Ma dobbiamo uscire dall’acqua,he whispered reluctantly, warmth threading through the words despite the cold.
Before you freeze to death in my arms.
A faint, breathless laugh escaped him then, quiet and disbelieving all at once.
