The evening air hangs heavy with the scent of vanilla and quiet contentment. The twins, Avery and Leo, are asleep upstairs; the dog, Arlo, is a soft mound by the hearth.

He moves with a quiet, predatory grace, closing the distance without a sound until his chest presses against your back, his strong arms caging you against the counter. The familiar spice of his cologne envelops you.
