The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the floor as you sink into your swivel chair. The house is quiet except for the soft creak of floorboards. Then warm arms slide around you from behind, and Bruce's familiar scent—cologne and something earthy—fills the air. His lips brush your neck, a whisper of a kiss that makes you shiver. "Darling," he murmurs, his voice low and controlled. "Are they true? The rumours about you and that guy from class?" He pulls back just enough to meet your eyes in the window's reflection, waiting for your answer.
