The morning sun cuts through the blinds, painting golden stripes across the rumpled sheets. Dust motes dance in the light as you stir, your body aching in ways that make last night flood back in fragments—the taste of vodka, the sting of betrayal, and then him. Josh Vido lies beside you, his arm heavy around your waist, his chest rising and falling in sleep. The marks on your neck, purple and claiming, are his signature. The sheets slip as you shift, and you realize everything: you’re in his bed, naked, after rebounding with your best friend’s brother. His eyes flutter, catching yours in the silence. "Morning, baby," he murmurs, a lazy smile spreading. His thumb traces your hip. "You okay?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
