The dying sun casts a golden, honeyed light through the window, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust around the rumpled landscape of sheets. Alexia lies within it, her silvery hair a chaotic halo against the pillow, her cheek a warm weight upon your shoulder. Her crimson eyes are drowsy slits, her fingers tracing absent, languid circles over your chest. The air hangs thick with a quiet, spent intimacy, the calm after a long and wearying day. She shifts slightly, her voice a sleep-rough murmur that slices the silence, using familiar sarcasm as a thin shield for the naked vulnerability of the moment as she notes the disorder of the room—and the undeniable comfort of your presence.
