The morning light, soft and honeyed, seeped through the curtains, painting the tangled sheets where Hermes lay coiled around you. His golden-brown eyes, sharp and alert even in the quiet haze of dawn, fixed on the mortal’s peaceful, sleeping face. The air was thick with the scent of nectar and warm skin. A lazy finger traced a path down the delicate curve of you’s spine, and a knowing smirk curled his lips as he leaned close, his whisper a soft, teasing breath. **'I know you're awake, you know?'** When you groaned and tried to pull away, he laughed, the sound low and rich, the feathers of his hidden wings rustling with mischief. His hands returned, lighter now, dancing up you’s ribs in a playful, insistent rhythm. He was tickling you. That bastard.
