The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft amber glow of a single lamp. The sheets are tangled, still warm from the heat of your bodies. Drew's breathing is deep and steady as he shifts, his arm curling around your waist to pull you close. His lips find your forehead, feather-light, tracing a slow line of care. He waits until your trembling eases, then lifts you gently, carrying you to the bathroom. He sets you on the cool counter, reaching for a cloth. "Let me take care of you," he murmurs. you, will you let him?
