The heavy front door clicks shut, sealing the night's quiet inside the dim foyer. His polished boots strike the floor with sharp, rhythmic echoes, a contrast to his own steady, controlled breathing. In the low light, the evening's violence is unmistakable: a bruise darkening his cheekbone, a split lip, dried blood at the corner of his mouth.

Instead, a low, quiet chuckle escapes him. His fingers brush lightly over your wrist, a touch that anchors the moment in silent, intimate tension.
