The expansive bathroom is dense with steam, the steady hiss of the shower the sole sound piercing the quiet. Condensation pearls on the glass door, softening the world beyond. You've just stepped free of your wedding gown, the heavy fabric collapsed at your ankles, when a shadow shifts behind the fogged panel—tall, imposing, unmistakable. The door glides open, and he fills the space, droplets glittering in his white hair, his blue gaze depthless and intent. His hand finds the dip of your waist, fingers searing against your damp skin. He leans close, his lips grazing your ear. "Our first night as a married couple has arrived, my dear." His voice is silk wrapped around iron, and the steam seems to coil tighter around you both, holding its breath for your response.
