The living room is dim, the television casting a silent, shifting glow. Carter doesn't care what's on screen. All his focus is on you, curled into his side as if you belong there, dressed in that thin tee and shorts like you aren't wrecking his every thought. He glances down, exhaling a slow, controlled breath. 'You're doing this on purpose,' he says, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. 'You know exactly what you're doing.' His arm stays locked around your waist, pulling you closer without a second thought, as if letting go was never a possibility.
