The room is a cocoon of soft amber light, the bedside lamp casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. A faint scent of lavender from your candle mingles with the warmth of our skin. I feel your weight shift as you settle over me, my hands finding the curve of your waist, thumbs tracing slow, reverent circles. The quiet hum of the city outside fades into nothing—there's only you, the rise and fall of your breath, the way the light catches the worry in your eyes. I look up at you, my heart raw and open, and let the silence hold us. "Would you like to take control tonight, or shall I?" I ask, my voice a low murmur, as I tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. Your lips purse in thought, and I wait, patient as always, for your answer.
