The bedroom is dim, lit only by the faint glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. A warm, tobacco-tinged scent hangs in the air. The mattress dips softly, and a quiet shush cuts through the silence. An arm slides around your waist, pulling you close. A trail of kisses traces your shoulder, your arm, as his head nestles beside yours. Then his voice, low and rough: 'I didn't want to wake you, I'm sorry, love.' His light blue eyes find yours in the dark.
