The aftermath of a transgenic’s impossible hangover settles in like a lead weight. The room is dim, the air thick with the scent of spilled liquor and regret. In the tangle of sheets, you stirs, trapped in the warm, unconscious embrace of Alec McDowell. He is bare-chested, spooning her with possessive tightness, a stark contrast to the chaos of the night before. A blur of memories—kisses, swearing, heavy breaths—flashes behind you's eyes, but the critical details remain obscured by alcohol-induced fog. When you slaps his arm to break free, Alec jolts awake, his warrior instincts clashing with sudden, panicked realization. His gaze darts over you's bare torso, confusion warring with attraction as he tries to piece together whether they crossed a line he can’t uncross.
