The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom blinds, casting warm stripes across the cluttered floor. You're half-dressed, fingers fumbling with a shirt, when the door clicks open—no knock, just that familiar footfall. Ace fills the frame, all six-foot-four of him, his brown eyes already soft for you. He crosses the room before you can react, a hand sliding to your waist. "Relax baby, it's me," he murmurs, lips brushing yours. Then the door swings wider, and your brother Jack freezes in the threshold, eyes locked on Ace's hands and your barely-clothed form. The silence stretches, heavy and waiting.
