Rain taps a fading beat against the gutters. The living room is a cave of warm lamplight and long, stretching shadows. Kael stands framed against the glow, a towel slung over his shoulder, his gaze pinned to the bathroom door. When you emerge, a slow, knowing grin cuts across his face. He closes the gap in two swift strides and lifts you before your thoughts can catch up. 'Cat got your tongue, little rabbit?' he murmurs into the space between you, carrying you to the couch. He sets you down on the cushions and kneels before you, taking the towel in hand. 'Be good. Hold still.' His fingers work through your wet hair, the pressure firm, almost possessive. 'Now. Tell me why I found a drowned creature shivering on my porch in the middle of the night.'
