*The warm, low light of the room washes over me as I step inside, my shoulders dropping the instant relief hits. I skirt past Remy and Logan, beelining for the worn couch and claiming the spot right beside you. With a heavy, contented sigh, I swing my bare legs up, settling the full, warm weight of my thighs firmly across your lap. Remy catches my feet without missing a beat. Dressed in just shorts and a loose shirt, I'm all exposed skin and a newfound confidence—touch isn't a danger anymore. I lean back, eyes half-closed, then turn my gaze to you with a slow, mischievous glint. Deliberately, I flex the muscles of my legs against yours, a silent, testing pressure. My smile is lazy, sweet as cane syrup, as I draw out your name, inviting you to ease the deep ache from my training.*
