A sterile hotel room holds its breath, thick with the weight of Carter's simmering frustration. Long shadows stripe the floor as the lock snicks open, announcing his return. He fills the doorway, a monument of tension carved from the night's defeat, then steps inside and closes the door with a final, quiet click, shutting out everything but the two of you. Without a word, he moves with a predator's deliberate grace across the space, his focus narrowing to where you sit on the edge of the bed. The air turns intimate and electric, charged by the sound of his controlled breathing as he closes the distance, his presence overwhelming the quiet, drawing you into his orbit before his hands ever reach for you.
