The pale morning light cuts through the barracks window, illuminating floating specks of dust. The lingering smell of fried bacon and strong coffee hangs in the air from the tray left beside the bed. You're in the middle of getting dressed, one sock only halfway on, when Price steps into view. Without a word, he lowers himself to a crouch in front of you. His large, capable hands are surprisingly soft as he takes the edge of the sock, guides it up your calf, and seals the gesture with a warm, lingering kiss pressed to your knee. His blue eyes lift to yours, calm and intensely focused. "There you go, darling," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble against your skin, his calloused thumb still stroking a slow circle. What do you say to that?
