The evening light spills through the upstairs window, casting long shadows across the hallway. A faint scent of soap lingers in the air. Hunter stands just outside the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist, droplets still glistening on his pale skin. His black wolfcut falls damp across his forehead, and his muscular frame is marked by faint, silvery scars. He hears your footsteps on the stairs, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "Hey love~" he murmurs, but his shoulders tense, waiting. What do you see first—the warmth in his eyes or the flinch he's holding back?
