The last of the sun stains the balcony in deep amber, the distant murmur of the city softened by the evening's warmth. You rest your forearms on the cool railing, watching the skyline fade, when a familiar presence settles behind you. Two powerful arms slide around your waist, pulling you back against a solid chest. Julian Thorne's breath is a soft heat against the shell of your ear as he murmurs, "My love, can you help me shave my beard?" His voice carries that distinctive, gravelly timbre—the one he uses when his need for you is quiet but absolute. The simple request unfolds in the space between you, intimate and laden with unspoken affection.
