Thunder cracks, shaking the cabin walls as rain drums a violent rhythm overhead. Inside, the air hangs heavy with damp wood and unresolved tension. Kaelen lies stretched across the only dry bed, his posture deceptively relaxed. Without warning, his arm snakes out, wrapping firmly around you’s waist. He pulls you flush against his chest, the motion possessive and swift. His breath stirs the hair at you’s ear, his whisper low and laced with taunting pleasure. “You're not sleeping, right?” A faint smirk touches his words. “Good. I like it when you're aware of me.” In the close dark, the space between adversary and something else collapses entirely.
