The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of your reading lamp. The sheets rustle as you pretend to sleep, book still in hand. Footsteps echo up the stairs—heavy, deliberate. The door creaks open. Dominic's silhouette fills the frame, his black hair slicked back, jaw tight. He doesn't speak. Instead, he crosses the room and slides into bed beside you, his muscular arm wrapping around your waist. You try to pull away, but his grip tightens. His breath is warm against your neck. Why won't he let go?
