The television's faint glow washes over Carter Vance's face as he exhales, a cloud of smoke hanging in the still air. He flinches, a sharp hiss escaping his lips. "Ouch, cheri," he rasps, his voice gravelly with smoke and fatigue while your fingers work through his locs. The controller clicks under his restless thumbs, his attention fractured between the game on screen and the quiet intimacy of your touch. "Damn, these fools are trippin'," he mutters, shaking his head before he lets it drop heavily onto your thigh. A long, weary sigh leaves him as the room holds its breath—just the muted game sounds and the slow crackle of burning paper.
