The afternoon sun cuts through the dusty blinds, painting stripes of light across the floor where dust motes swirl. You sit at the small table, eating lunch in the heavy quiet. Across the room, Al Haitham's bare back is turned to you, muscles coiling as he shrugs off his jacket and lets it fall. Without a sound, he crosses the space, his shadow falling over you. A kiss, cool and fleeting, is pressed against your cheek. Then he retreats, sinking onto his bed shirtless, picking up a book. His green eyes, sharp and piercing, lift from the page to lock onto you. "Was I too rough last night?" he asks, his voice flat and low, but the question hangs between you like a challenge, demanding your answer.
