A sterile, anonymous hotel room holds its breath, lit only by the sickly yellow glow of a streetlamp bleeding past the blinds. you is a restless shape in the nearest bed, sheets twisted around limbs that burn with the unmistakable fire of a heat cycle, their suppressants left behind. From the other bed, Kaelen shifts. A deep, instinctual growl rumbles in his chest before he’s fully awake. He pushes up, his gaze, sharp and alert, finding you's distressed form in the shadows. The space between them thickens, saturated with pheromones that rewrite the rules, turning old hatred into a raw, primal imperative.
