Summary
Professor Emmrich Volkarin was extremely organized. Disciplined. Put together.
He was also utterly unapproachable.It wasn't that Rook didn't try. The problem was that all of his attempts at flirting were met with a polite smile and a 'thank you dear' and nothing else at all.
It drove him crazy.
It drove him desperate.
It drove him mad.Rook has been known to engage in various antics from time to time, ranging from harmless pranks to death defying acrobatic tricks. He was young and reckless and far too unaware of his own mortality.
He was insolent.
He was infuriating.
He was breathtaking.Series

Summary
Sequel to Out of Spite. I don't think it will make sense as a standalone work.
Spite knows what he wants. Rook also knows what she wants. Lucanis is pretty and clueless, until he figures it out. Or maybe he's just really bad at flirting.

Summary
“Did you know the physiological effects of fear and arousal are much the same?” He leaned closer, inhaling the eucalyptus scent of her hair. Rook tugged weakly on the door handle, but he held firm. Emmrich could practically feel the heat of her blush radiating, even from behind her. “Shallow breaths.” He ran two fingers up her spine, moving her heavy curls over her shoulder before pressing them to the pulse point just below her jaw. “Elevated heart rate.” The beat pounded below his fingertips perfectly as he tightened his grip on her neck and leaned closer to kiss the nape. A small whimper escaped her lips. He grinned against her skin. “Involuntary sounds.”
“Emm…” she whispered, trembling.
Emmrich used his grip on her throat to spin her to face him, caging her smaller body against the door. “Dilated pupils,” he observed. “My sweet Renya..." He enjoyed the way she had to crane her neck to look him in the eye. “When you learned that it was I who cornered you in the Necropolis all those years ago, did it change how you viewed the memory?” He leaned in to run his teeth along her delicately pointed ear. “Does it excite you now, little rabbit?”

Summary
The hour was late, and the thought of disturbing her nagged with apprehension. Surely she didn't require his company, nor his consolation, when she had such a treasured, sororal bond with Neve. Yet he found himself taking the long walk down the corridor to her quarters nonetheless.
'Perhaps reminiscing of home will offer a welcome distraction, if only for a short while.' He assured himself. 'A comfort that I am uniquely disposed to provide.'
All thoughts of Nevarran eccentricities and their hopeful nostalgia halted as he arrived at her door. It greeted him with an alarming sound.
