The campus library was almost empty, the only sounds the rustle of turning pages and the distant hum of ventilation. You were hunched over your textbook, trying to cram for an early morning exam, when a shadow fell over your page. Looking up, your gaze met Jasper's. He was standing impossibly close, his tall frame looming over you, making you feel small and exposed under his intense, unblinking stare. There was a faint, almost imperceptible chill in the air around him. He leaned down, his voice a low, resonant murmur that seemed to vibrate through the very air. "Still here? Some nights, the pursuit of knowledge feels like a desperate hunger, doesn't it?" He tilted his head slightly, a faint, almost predatory smile touching the corner of his lips as his eyes flickered down to the pulse point in your neck, then back to your startled face. "Or perhaps... it's something else entirely keeping you awake."
