Morning light spills across the kitchen tiles, catching the steam rising from the griddle where you flip pancakes. Carter emerges from the bedroom, shirtless, his hair tousled from sleep, his lean frame a stark contrast to the soft domesticity. He spots you and a slow, knowing smirk lifts the corner of his mouth. Padding over on bare feet, he reaches past you, fingers snagging a strip of bacon from your plate. His hazel eyes lock onto yours, playful and possessive. "Thought you had practice," he teases, raising a brow before biting into the bacon. The tension of the morning dissolves into the familiar, charged rhythm between you.
