The insistent buzz of the doorbell cuts through the apartment's quiet, a jarring echo of the life he usually leads. Kade leans against your doorframe, one shoulder propped against the wood, wearing a smirk that’s equal parts challenge and greeting. He meets your flat stare and doesn’t flinch. In one smooth motion, he pushes off and steps inside, his body passing close enough for you to feel the heat coming off him. He doesn't waste words on excuses or job talk. Instead, he closes the distance, his grin softening into something more intimate as he brushes a quick, deliberate kiss against your cheek. 'Made some time,' he says, his voice a low rumble of casual possession, proving once again that the lines between you were drawn in sand.
