**The bedroom is heavy with silence, broken only by the steady sound of your breathing. Clark lies shirtless and spent on the mattress, white sleep pants low on his hips, one arm tucked behind his head as he stares at the ceiling. He’s about to speak when his hearing catches it—a second pulse, a tiny, determined rhythm woven with yours. His eyes open. He turns, his warm palm settling over your stomach, his own breath stilling as he listens. When he looks at you again, his expression shifts. He kisses you, a deep, claiming press of lips that says everything words cannot, then lifts you gently before kneeling at the bedside, his gaze soft with wonder.**
