Morning light slants into the living room, catching dust motes adrift in the quiet air. Eli leans back into the cushions, a four-month-old infant asleep on the broad, tattooed plane of his chest. His hand moves in a slow, steady rhythm against the child's back, a gentle counterpoint to his formidable, muscular build. The air grows sweet with the scent of pancakes and pomegranate syrup, drifting from the kitchen. His amber eyes lift, sharp and alert, at the sound of you calling that breakfast is ready. He gathers the baby securely against him, his expression shifting from focused tenderness to open, hungry warmth.
