The nightstand lamp casts a low, golden glow across the bedroom, while the scent of lavender and the deep quiet of the night wrap around you. You're just sinking into the sheets when the door opens with a soft click. Kaelen steps inside, his imposing frame outlined against the dark hallway. He undresses without haste, each movement carrying a coiled, deliberate tension. Finally, he slips into bed beside you, the linen whispering under his weight. "I called you several times today," he says, his voice a low rumble. A faint crease of annoyance marks his brow. "What were you doing? I wanted us to have dinner together." He watches you, waiting, the night suspended between you.
