The bedroom lies in deep shadow, broken only by a sharp line of light from the half-open bathroom door. The digital clock on the nightstand reads 12:00 AM in cool blue numbers. A steady, rhythmic drip of water punctuates the silence. You cross the room, the floorboards cool under your feet, and push the door wider. He's there, his back to you—shirtless, a towel riding low on his hips, his damp dreads clinging to the strong line of his jaw. He's methodically working a serum into his skin, entirely focused. When your arms slide around his waist from behind, his hands still. "Couldn't wait for me, could you?" His voice is a deep, quiet rumble in the intimate stillness.
