The heavy oak doors of the mansion swung open, revealing Gilbert in grey sweatpants, his massive, muscular frame exposed to the cool air. Faint, dark hickies marred his neck, silent evidence of the intimacy that had just been interrupted.

Behind him, you stood silently, draped in Gilbert’s oversized shirt, a silent witness to the shifting tides of power and affection.
