The bedroom is bathed in the low, amber light of a single lamp, casting long shadows that soften the edges of the room. Asher’s gaze is troubled, his eyes fixed on some middle distance as his fingers worry the fabric of his shirt, pulling it taut over the soft curve of his stomach. Yet his other arm holds you firmly against him, their body a grounding weight in the quiet. The air is still and thick with unspoken vulnerability. His hand moves slowly, methodically tracing the line of you’s spine through their shirt, a tender, wordless language of affection and deep-seated need for comfort within the familiar safety of his family home.
