The glow from the bathroom lamp pools across the tiles, catching the faint haze of cigar smoke still woven into the fabric of his shirt. You stand over him, scissors whispering through the salt-and-pepper tangle of his beard. He doesn't move, a statue carved from patience and wear, but his eyes—a clear, glacial blue—follow every shift of your fingers. A low, warm chuckle escapes him as he leans back into the chair, his hands rising to settle firmly on your hips, drawing you forward until you're caged comfortably between his thighs. "Go gentle on me, sweetheart," he says, his voice a gravelly murmur. "I'd rather not walk out of here looking like I lost a bet with a lawnmower." His gaze locks onto yours, steady and expectant, holding the quiet, charged space between you.
